Seen & Noted: NEC Display's Digital Signage Ring at JetBlue's T5 Terminal

On our way back from the 2009 Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas we spotted an exciting new digital signage display that suspends the screens in a perfect circle above travelers at the new JetBlue terminal at New York's JFK Airport. We learned later that this installation just won an APEX award at the Digital Signage Show. Bravo NEC! Well deserved!

Here is information from the official NEC Apex Award Press Release:

JetBlue’s spectacular “Digital Signage Ring” is comprised of 43 40-inch NEC LCD monitors installed in the shape of a giant oval suspended from the ceiling. This deployment creates great visual appeal for the new Terminal 5 at JFK and enhances the travel experience for JetBlue customers. JetBlue selected the NEC MultiSync® LCD4020 model based on reliability, video-wall capabilities and its thin bezel, which creates a more seamless picture. The original press release can be read here.

NEC has been doing some great work in the digital signage space and has made available a wide range of Digital Signage White Papers covering a variety of topics that include retail, education, shopping malls, houses of worship, restaurants, healthcare, automotive, and small-to-medium sized business deployment. These comprehensive digital signage white papers are available as a free download from our Website. 

Here is a closer view, The information on the screens is moving across the screen in a clock-wise motion, which explains why the content in the image below looks a little fuzzy:
