• What does G-LEC stand for?
  G-LEC stands for 'Grid-type LED Curtain'. Pixels are arranged in an array with a distance of several centimetres between pixels. Most of the remaining space is empty - pure air, making the display virtually transparent!
  
  This transparency enables two-dimensional pictures (animations / videos) to be integrated in a three-dimensional space.
• What is the main use?
  Designers are interested in two main features that are unique to G-LEC products.
  
  Firstly the display is transparent. You can see through it from both front and back. This allows images and objects to be shown through the display, and of course, the display can be made practically invisible, then suddenly come alive when needed!
  
  Secondly, the products are incredibly light weight. Not only does this make it very easy to tour, erect and break down huge systems, but also does not need powerful machinery, hoists or reinforced stages and rigging.
• Anything else?
  Yes, plenty!
  
  The systems have become really popular with TV entertainment shows, as the low resolution and very bright pixels present a really nice texture to the camera, as well as rich colours and a great dynamic feel.
  
  Also, as many shows now run over several weeks or even months, it is easy to vary the content - both by using media servers and by uploading new graphics onto the G-LEC graphics computer.
  
  Transparency is not just for lighting - audio can also pass through (making it ideal for hiding speaker stacks - and even orchestras!). Also smoke can be passed through - plus the displays offer very little wind resistance when used for outdoor concerts.
  
  The Frame products are the only Low Resolution LED products made directly for touring, combining robustness and light weight, while the Tube products are so light that they can be placed on practically any grid or surface.
