Are you able to inform us extra about what advantages these merchandise provide?
There’s a big marketplace for business show within the MENA area and the verticals we provide straight from the retail vertical, the hospitality vertical and the federal government vertical. In reality, the retail vertical is likely one of the largest verticals in business show. LED, particularly, is in big demand within the MENA area.

What units Hikvision other than different business show suppliers?
We not solely provide show but additionally LED controllers together with our LEDs. As well as, we provide video wall controllers in addition to encoders and decoders. We’ve got additionally launched some flagship merchandise for our outside LEDs with greater brightness, very skinny profile and really low energy consumption, which is what the market wants.
The brightness of an outside LED product depreciates by 8% yearly. So in the event you purchase a product that has a brightness of 6000 nits, in 5 years its brightness will lower to 3000 nits. Which means it won’t operate correctly in the course of the day, which in flip implies that its performance is vastly lowered. Subsequently, I’ve come with a product that has 10,000 nits of brightness however will be maintained at 6000 nits of brightness so that you just get constant brightness for the subsequent 5 years. Once more, its energy consumption is half that of rivals available on the market.
This protects some huge cash.
Even in our indoor LED product collection, we’ve launched a brand new collection of Flip Chip COB LEDs. Flip Chips will take over the LED trade, and maybe within the close to future, it might even fully change the LCD trade. At present, the manufacturing value of COB LED could be very excessive, however over time, the worth will lower because the demand decreases.
We make COB LEDs from 0.4mm pixels to 0.7mm, 0.9mm and 1.2mm.
