LED concrete display by Innovation Lab
Milo Plurnbottom about 1 year ago

In an age where smaller and thinner is better it feels anachronistic to build a computer display from concrete but that is exactly what this is.
This nifty invention is from a Denmark company called innovationlab . Unfortunately their english website does not appear to be complete so I was not able to find out any more information about this fascinating device.
While I couldn’t find info on the concrete display at the innovationlab site, engadget had a blog post entitled Innovation Lab busts out pixel-infused concrete display where they said:
This rock-hard display consists of not-so-average concrete with “embedded optical fibers, arranged as pixels, capable of transmitting natural as well as artificial light.” When light is projected from the rear, the pixels illuminate to display imagery, which could certainly transform a vanilla office building into an ad-filled poster board. While we’re not sure when we can expect these things to start popping up around here, Innovation Lab claims that orders are already backing up
This would be a fantastic display to have outdoors to spice up a garden, city streets, or even as a placard for a building displaying a logo or other simple images.
So simple and elegant.
