Developed by Traxon Technologies, Board 16 SMD RGB is a lighting system which allows for the easy installation of LED on floors, ceilings, walls and other horizontal and vertical surfaces. Installed behind fixed or malleable foregrounds, the Board spreads its light from 16 high performance RGB SMDs (Surface Mounted Diodes).
The Board's compact size of 23 cm x 23 cm x 1.85 cm allows for the realization of a variety of geometric shapes, and the wide beam angle of 120° guarantees an even light spread. As an optional accessory, the installation pad ensures a fast and easy mounting of the boards in a precise way.
Board 16 may be used in interior applications such as exhibition spaces, interiors, bars, casinos, offices, restaurants, shops, shopping centers, and a wide number of commercial applications. [via Traxon Technologies; suggested by Clayton Whitman, Seattle.]
Photo-engraving formliners offer yet another option for designers seeking to transfer images directly to concrete.
The Photo-Engraving Process is a computer-based method for transferring image data onto sheet materials by means of milling technology. First, an image template is scanned and converted into 256 grey scales. In order to transfer the image onto the sheet material, a machining file is generated from the identified grey values, and this file includes milling commands for a CNC milling machine.
The milled module is used as master for casting the elastic Reckli Photo-Engraving formliners. The flexibility, precision, and reusability of the formliners allow for quality image transfers with an efficient use of materials. [via Reckli; suggested by Karen Marler, Vancouver, BC.]
Magink Display Technologies, Inc. is the world's first developer and provider of full color digital ink displays. Magink's full-color digital ink is based on environmentally-friendly materials. Using proprietary technologies, magink manipulates the ink molecules to generate all colors of the visible color spectrum, including all gray levels, to be exhibited in a wide color gamut.
Magink's proprietary technology provides high resolution, high contrast, full-color, low energy consumption and cost effective digital display applications to a broad array of global industries. Magink displays may be used extensively in exterior applications, and the technology utilizes ambient light to enhance the image visibility and quality, just like paper. Real-time content management of single/multiple displays is available using magink software.
The magink line of standard displays is available in three size formats - 2mx3m, 3mx4m and 3mx6m (6'6"x10', 10'x13'3" and 10'x20') - for either indoor or outdoor applications. They can be retrofitted and customized within the size range. [via Magink; suggested by Shawn Gehle, Los Angeles]
