ActiveLight, Inc., based in Poulsbo, announced that it has partnered with Display Werks, out of Olympia, to launch the 40” TActive LCD, the first integrated touch screen for digital signage applications, on May 18 at the Digital Retailing Expo in Chicago.

Designed for use in digital signage installations, the TActive is well suited for a variety of industries, including retail, financial, airport and restaurant applications. The TActive supports multiple video inputs, features 1280 x 768 high resolution and high quality video performance, and offers a 170-degree or better viewing angle. With the appropriate software the display can be used in both portrait and landscape modes, and allows the whole screen or just parts to be touch- sensitive. Compared to a plasma display, the LCD quality reduces the chances for image burn-in.
