BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Planar Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLNR), a worldwide leader in flat-panel display systems, is expanding its open-frame family of displays by adding products featuring superior brightness for digital signage, and streaming video capabilities for indoor kiosks. Ideally suited for the retail and hospitality industries, the new LB1500R and LB1503R models are designed to give kiosk integrators and OEMs bright, attention-grabbing displays that attract and entice customers to view content.

Featuring an eye-popping brightness of 550cd/m2, -- almost twice as bright as standard displays -- the LB1500R and LB1503R attract attention from a distance, increasing visibility and ultimately reaching a wider audience. The LB line is a new addition to Planar's existing LX family, including the LA and LC designs, developed to fulfill ATM, retail and ticketing kiosk needs for challenging indoor and outdoor environments.

"As kiosks are enjoying widespread adoption, integrators and OEMs are continually challenged to build systems that entice kiosk visitors to use them and enable kiosk deployment in more unique locations, especially outdoors," said Francie Mendelsohn, president, Summit Research Associates. "The value of kiosk implementation is tied closely to functionality. Enhancing video and brightness capabilities generates more traffic, which ultimately delivers greater value for the investment. As display features improve, we expect user satisfaction to increase and deployment costs to decrease even further."

As kiosks and digital signage implementations become increasingly common, retailers, integrators and OEMs are looking for new ways to gain a competitive edge, while maximizing their investments. With the new LB open-frame displays, Planar enables a more compelling delivery of marketing content with intuitive, interactive and user-friendly solutions to engage customers.

The competitively-priced 15-inch LB15 series offers options for integrating composite video for streaming video advertisements in retail or hospitality applications, as well as support live feeds from security cameras in areas such as retail stores, parking lots, or office lobbies. The LB1500R and LB1503R also can be integrated into interactive point-of-purchase kiosks, public transportation digital signage, as well as point-of-information or advertising displays inside trains or busses.
