PSCo signs Leyard deal
PSCo, the specialist LED subsidiary of Midwich, has signed a deal with LED manufacturer Leyard covering the UK market.
Stuart Holmes, director of PSCo, said: “In 2016 we have seen interest in narrow pixel pitch LED intensifying at the higher-resolution end of the market, with increased demand from rental and sales partners wanting support with projects for 1mm and 2mm displays.
“We have seen specific success launching front installation and front service narrow pixel pitch LED into the retail vertical, with specific success in rolling out of 4mm LED into high street retailers, and European roll out of 2mm and 4mm LED into leading cosmetic brands high street stores and concessions, through key trade partners. Bezel-less displays, such as those from Absen and Samsung, are gradually becoming more cost effective to own, and are also currently driving this market.”
