The Clear Concept Awards competition, co-sponsored by the SEGD
and Digital Signage Expo (DSE) along with Planar Systems, is
designed to encourage inspiring new applications for see-through
installations, which represent the next wave of digital signage.
The grand prize winner of the contest will receive an expenses-paid
trip for two to Las Vegas to attend DSE 2016, and will be honored
with an award and participation in a panel luncheon celebrating his
or her work. The winner also will receive a newly debuted Planar®
LookThru™ OLED transparent display for his or her own studio
or showroom use.
The design contest comes as Planar Systems debuts its Planar
LookThru OLED transparent display, a breakthrough product that
creates a new category for see-through displays. The
first-of-its-kind 55-inch transparent display utilizes cutting-edge
OLED technology, overcoming one of the major hurdles to transparent
LCD display adoption by making it possible to create truly
see-through installations unobstructed by backlights or
enclosures.
“Transparent displays have captured the imagination of
filmmakers, futurists and designers for decades,” said Jennifer
Davis, vice president of marketing and product strategy at Planar
Systems. “This design competition celebrates that ingenuity and
provides opportunities for professionals and students alike to
imagine new applications for transparent displays, expressing
themselves in activated glass.”
Entrants to the Clear Concept Awards must submit a sketch or
rendering that demonstrates a specific use of an OLED transparent
display that is both technically feasible and illustrates creative
innovation. Submissions must also include a sketch or sample of the
on-screen content and user experience. The contest is open to all
U.S. residents excluding employees of Planar Systems, SEGD and
DSE.
The deadline for submissions is January 8, 2016. Winners will be
selected by a panel of select judges that includes:
- Design Director at Stimulant, Nathan
Moody
- Editor of Digital Signage Today,
Christopher Hall
- Design Director at Downstream, Brian
James
- Director of Experience Design at
Digital Kitchen, Anthony Vitagliano
- Senior Vice President at Technomedia,
Dan Moalli
- Vice President at MHTN Architects,
Robert Pinon
Winners will be announced on March 16, 2016 at the Digital
Signage Expo APEX Awards Reception in Las Vegas, with all finalists
and honorable mentions featured on the Planar Systems website.
Already, the design community is embracing the Planar LookThru
OLED transparent display, planning never-before-possible
applications that appeal to customers across a broad range of
industries. “Transparent displays hold exciting promise for the
experience design community,” said Darren David, founder and CEO of
Stimulant, a San Francisco-based interactive and design development
studio. “Our clients are looking to push the envelope of
technology, and this new transparent OLED offering from Planar
suits many of these projects. The Planar LookThru OLED transparent
display offers a truly unique visual presentation that lets us
create highly differentiated and standout experiences for our
clients.”
