Christie MicroTiles, a stunning seamless digital canvas

This revolutionary modular technology allows complete freedom to create virtually continuous displays in any size, shape and place with incomparable levels of brilliance, contrast and reproduction offering superior color and image reproduction, the widest possible viewing angles and an almost total absence of cracks in display walls.

Christie to show at Integrated Systems Europe, which will take place in Amsterdam 2 al 4 February, MicroTiles, a unique display technology capable of creating a virtually continuous digital canvas in almost any size and shape delivering spectacularly clear images at any distance. Christie MicroTiles are modular display tiles that can be stacked and grouped like building blocks to create display walls of any shape or scale., Using an all-new advanced optical design that produces unparalleled levels of brightness, contrast and color reproduction. Christie MicroTiles system represents a huge step forward in large format display technology, offering superior color and image reproduction, the widest possible viewing angles and an almost total absence of cracks in display walls, with only 1 mm space between tiles. This revolutionary LED and DLP based system is designed for durable and reliable commercial use in public places, no lamps or other consumables to replace. LED light engine, a key component of MicroTiles, has an estimated life of 65.000 hours being used at half brightness, or around 7,5 years in continuous operation. Simple maintenance With a screen size of 16 inches (408 mm) wide and 12 inches (306 mm) high, The mosaics also have a depth of only 10 inches (260 mm) and require only 2 inches (50 mm) of free space for rear ventilation. Christie engineers have designed MicroTiles so that complete maintenance can be easily done from the front. Mosaics are “self-sufficient”, which means that unlike conventional video walls, where the color calibration required to make them look uniform is costly and time-consuming, In MicroTiles this calibration is completed automatically thanks to the built-in sensors. While the engineering behind display tiles is extraordinarily sophisticated, Mosaic murals are controlled by a simple unit that processes the signal from the most popular media players and digital signage. Known around the world for its high-quality digital projection systems, Christie has had its new tiles in R&D for two years. Technology and visual design experts who have already had the opportunity to see some advances have described the system as “one of the wonders of the world in displays.”. Modular flexibility Bob Rushby, co-inventor and CTO of Christie has noted that “MicroTiles represent a revolution in display technology that allows users to create their own digital canvases or wallpapers.”. Con MicroTiles, Users can unleash their vision and creativity, and mount displays in ways that have been previously unattainable with current flat panel LCDs, plasmas or LED walls”. Rushby has ensured that the system allows the mosaics to be assembled or dismantled in any configuration, recognizing each other at all times, adjusting the image automatically. “Our partners are discovering new ways to use digital displays that would have been impossible or impractical before MicroTiles”, the co-inventor of this revolutionary technology has assured. The spectacular image quality and modular flexibility of the MicroTiles system opens up vast possibilities for companies designing and creating large, visually rich displays for architectural installations., outdoor advertising, event centers, command and control facilities and business environments. MicroTiles can be stacked and arranged to create dominant visual images that fit within the physical constraints of a building and eliminate all compromises made when using other display technologies.. “Christie MicroTiles open a new world of possibilities for different display markets.”, offering an innovative and visually striking way to deliver messages and make them memorable”, Rushby commented.
