    Recent Trends of
    LED Sign with Idea & Design

    Diverse Channel Sign from Material to Design
    It seems to be probable that simple channel signs may not attract customers any more. Channel signs, bending metallic or aluminum to form letters and putting LED inside the signs, are hung all over the streets like ginkgo leaves. So, sign manufacturers invent distinguished forms, breaking from the convention of channel sign with its ideas. One of the latest trends is the sign which the design of channel sign is mixed with refinement of acrylic. Instead of a frame or wall, a bar-shaped LED is contained in an acrylic box, acting as a sign board. The feature that LED light in a channel sign is reflected from acrylic so it is expected double reflecting effect is noticeable.
    In addition, while the existing channel signs with cap, which are made into polycarbonate, and channel made of aluminum, stainless steel or other materials, put together, nowadays, even channel signs of integrated cap and channel appear. It helps to install LED easily without any problems even though there are narrow letters in channel sign. The board for installing LED is substituted for styrofoam without parallel, which reduces the weight of channel sign with no problems.
    The material of channel is getting more various. Small quantity production is hard in the present manufacturing situation. So, press signs which are used by large enterprises like franchise stores and gas stations, are becoming popular. Press sign showing soft cubic effect and feeling luxurious from material, is divided into applications of lighting and non-lighting. Previously, the only large-scaled sign was available because press sign for lighting was needed to consider the size of light source. But it is also available in small sized sign as the channel sign technology has advanced, since the advent of LED. It is a case demonstrating that the introduction of LED has an impact on other materials in sign market.

    LED, Innovating Channel Sign Manufacturing
    From now on, prejudice will be completely wrong that the only flex sign is used for fascia. Because here comes flex sign for projecting sign. The prejudice should be cast away if you see double-sided LED once. That is why a flex sign becomes available for a flex sign.
    The issue of applying LED in flex sign is the most interesting issue in the sign business but it is still unavailable. There are only a few cases that shops have applied it to already. The main reason why it is not commercialized is the price and efficiency. More LEDs will be put into the signs because the size of a flex sign is larger than that of channel sign, but it doesn't need to be put in as densely. Five highly illuminated modules are more efficient and economical than ten normal LED modules. Now it is under discussion on appropriate sheet material for LED flex signs. Its commercialization will soon be becoming available.
    More products are getting released as the commercialization speeds up. Since LED is operated by direct current, it was not easy to install, such as accompaniment of stabilizer. Recently, LED, which is applied PLC drive with alternating current, has been introduced, realizing that its installation is easier than past one. Moreover, anyone is able to install or shift it because its shape is same as a fluorescent lamp. It is possible to sort by direct light, which is visible for LED element, indirect light, which is adhered diffusion substance.
    It is able to together with, not only control of its angle, but also putting channel sign on the top, and banner, and LCD monitor on the lower of sign system on its frame. It is possible to make sure that he level of skill is getting higher in frame sign market, not inferior to channel sign, and light source.
