Unique digital display technologies
Formed in 2003, Newcastle based nCast specialises in the development of unique digital display technologies for use in narrowcasting.
Working in partnership with research institutions, academic bodies and key industry names, nCast develop digital display products for environments such as retail, leisure, institutional and corporate buildings, events and exhibitions. Essentially, nCast offer two innovative solutions based on ViVid – a novel rear projection material which offers unique benefits.
ViVid Screens are high contrast, wide viewing angle rear screens with high gain and contrast. They perform well in bright conditions; unlike traditional solutions they are flexible and ruggedised.
In September 2005, our Proof of Concept Fund invested £60,000 to:
- enable nCast to advance its project to the next stage
- run live trials the screens and software.
The company now have 11 resellers in Europe and various application and market development partners. Products established using ViVid to date include a range of AV exhibition and display stands (conference and exhibition sector), retail window screens (retail point of sale), large scale outdoor TV’s (pubs and leisure sector), and even media vehicles (Outdoor advertising sector).
