Clear Picture
It used to be that LED monitors needed a wall to hang on, but the new transparent LED window display by Crystal Display Systems Ltd. is a game-changer that offers a whole new way to think about LED screens. The product, which displays images or video content using LEDs bright enough for outdoor viewing, are 85 percent transparent. So when backlighting is added, passersby can see straight through them. The screens come in standard and custom sizes ranging from 5.7 to 84 diagonal inches, and at just 10 millimeters thick, they are lightweight enough to be hung from ceilings or exhibit walls.

What a Crate Idea
Exhibitors using the MyPal shipping pallet that converts into two tables can now add a collapsible crate to their setup so they never again have to wait for crates or pallets to be delivered at show's end. MyCrate assembles using slots and braces, providing a sturdy 46-by-46-by-22-inch container that fits on top of the pallet. After its contents are removed, the crate, which requires no tools for assembly, disassembles into flat pieces that can be stored beneath the MyPal tables.

Panel Discussions
Add chic functionality to any exhibit wall when you use TigerLite Slotwall Panels in place of standard panels to showcase your wares. Panels are 27-inch squares that are part of a larger wall design, and can be printed with graphics making their 24-inch-long slots almost invisible until you hang accessories from them. Each panel has seven slots that collectively can hold 50 pounds or more, but the panel itself is 50 percent lighter than traditional slotwall products thanks to a honeycomb core crafted of military-grade aluminum. Slots will fit any standard slotwall panel accessories on the market. Contact: Tiger Presentations, Westborough, MA, 617-335-5303, www.tigerpresentations.com
