It all started in the 40s of the 20th century in the USA. Then the economy of the United States was actively developing, innovative ways of developing marketing and advertising were needed to increase sales. Cardboard displays, of course, from that time are very different from modern designs. For codes, the quality of raw materials, printing, technology has significantly increased.
cardboard display- this is an advertising stand of various shapes, made of corrugated cardboard with a full-color image. Such promotional cardboard stands will help you effectively carry out promotions in retail chains. By placing displays at the entrance, you will ensure the recognition of the product before it appears on the shelves. In short, the display is one of the most effective and cost-effective advertising tools in history.
Cardboard displays more and more confidently today they occupy a leading position in all sales sectors, this is a good replacement for advertising and commercial equipment made of plastic and metal, however, with a limited lifespan. A variety of shapes, sizes and designs, manufacturing speed, low price, ease of use - these are the distinguishing features of these products. A large display area made of cardboard with a high-quality design will not be left without attention. Your product and brand will attract the attention of potential consumers. And due to the fact that the design is easy to assemble and transport, it can be used many times.
floor standing cardboard displays are commonly used to demonstrate as well as effectively sell a product. Displays are used to display a large amount of goods. Therefore, in the production of displays from cardboard for the floor, it is necessary to take into account not only the load on each shelf, but also the strength of the entire structure as a whole. In the manufacture of the display, corrugated cardboard or coated cardboard is used with different configurations of the topper: pvc, cardboard, kappa, it is possible to create 3D designs.
For production cardboard displays different types of cardboard are used, for example, multilayer corrugated cardboard, binding cardboard, microcorrugated cardboard, and in some cases plastic and metal fasteners are also used. Cardboard displays, racks, if necessary, can withstand a decent weight - up to 100 kg.
POS Cardboard Display Design Bureau
We specialize in the development of both standard and non-standard designs of cardboard stands, creative design of POS materials. Our design engineers have extensive experience in the printing and POS materials industry. They help customers bring to life any ideas in the design of pos displays and other designs. For the development and modeling of cardboard displays, we use modern auto-design systems (Impact, Pack CAD, etc.).
One of the important departments of the company is the cutting plotter. With it, we can test different designs of cardboard displays. We try to take into account every detail put into creating a quality cardboard display, such as
- the most complete communication to the buyer of advertising information,
- ease of assembly and disassembly,
- small package sizes and light weight,
- long service life,

FAQ:
What is a promotional cardboard display or stand?
cardboard display(synonyms: floor display, cardboard stand, advertising stand or display, floor stand,) is type of POS materials, which is designed to place on it a certain trademark / brand, highlight it and promote it. Mainly promotional cardboard displays has shelves for placing goods, is made in the form of a solid construction made of cardboard, plastic, wood, etc.
What is the minimum quantity of promotional cardboard displays?
Mostly minimum circulation floor cardboard display racks is 50 pieces. But on a plotter, we can also cut out smaller quantities of cardboard racks for you. It should be taken into account: the price of one copy in such a circulation is quite high and with an increase in circulation significantly reduced .
What load are cardboard displays designed for?
This parameter differs for cardboard racks of different designs. Distinguish two types of load: load on the entire structure and load on the shelf. The load of each shelf can reach 20kg, all carton display stand The whole can withstand a weight of about 100 kg. When using some technical, design solutions, these parameters can be increased.
What are our main technical Layout requirements?
To calculate the production cost of cardboard displays, as well as to design a cardboard rack, certain parameters must be followed. Of course, you can use our design studio, but you can prepare layouts yourself, taking into account those. production requirements.

Almost everyone knows that the main manufacturers of processors for smartphones are Qualcomm (USA) and MediaTek (Taiwan). Fewer people know that they do not manufacture crystals on their own, trusting it to factories like TSMC. But few people know about who makes displays for smartphones. But this is no less important component of a mobile device than the central processor. Therefore, let's try to clarify and find out who produces screens for smartphones at the global level.
Looking ahead, it is important to note that it is easier to produce low-quality matrices using outdated technologies. It is much cheaper to organize the production of 7-inch screens with a resolution of 800x480, used in the cheapest tablets, than to launch a 5-inch matrix with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels into a series. Having access to equipment written off by leading companies (such as Samsung) and bought relatively inexpensively (hundreds of thousands instead of millions, millions instead of billions of dollars), screens can be made even by the unknown “Uncle Liao's basement.” For obvious reasons, such manufacturers cannot be listed.
The history of the company dates back to 1938. It all started with trading in noodles, rice and other goods. The company switched to electrical engineering in the 1960s. In the 1980s and 1990s, Samsung concentrated on the telecommunications industry, not forgetting household appliances, as well as industrial and special equipment. Around the same time, Samsung engineers took an active interest in LCD technology for screens. As a result, already in 2000, the first Samsung LCD TV with a 40-inch screen was created.
Around the same time, intensive work was begun on active matrices on organic light emitting diodes (OLED). Attention was paid to VA and IPS matrices, as well as TN. In 2012, the successful screen division was spun off as a separate subsidiary of Samsung Display. At his disposal were 6 factories, 3 of them are engaged in the production of OLED screens, the same number - LCD. At the end of 2015, 38% of all mobile displays in the world were produced by Samsung.
OLED screens
In the early 2000s, OLED developments were in full swing. In 2004, 40% of all AMOLED screens rolled off the Samsung assembly line. Due to only the developing market of smartphones and "raw" technologies, these displays were large (10-20 ") and were put on TVs. Until 2006, the company registered and acquired more than 600 patents for OLED technologies. In 2010, over 97% of all AMOLED screens were made by Samsung.
In 2010, the company called its screens Super AMOLED and slightly changed their production technology. The main difference is that the sensor layer is now located on the matrix itself, and not on a separate layer with an air gap. In 2013, the first smartphone with a curved screen Samsung Galaxy Round was released. As of 2016, Samsung produces flat and curved Super AMOLED screens for smartphones and tablets with resolutions up to 2560x1440 pixels.
LCD screens
Samsung also produces LCD displays for mobile devices. Currently, this direction is less priority, and all the latest developments are AMOLED screens. LCD matrices are made for TVs, monitors and laptops. Some of them are also made for smartphones. After the company announced the sale of equipment from the L7 plant in 2015 in order to re-equip it for the production of OLED screens, it became clear that OLEDs are a priority for the company.
Sharp
The Japanese company Sharp was founded by Tokuji Hayakawa in 1912. She began by producing pencils and repairing equipment. Only in 1925, after seeing a radio receiver, the founder Sharpe decided to take up electrical engineering. Around the same time, Tokuji also became interested in television broadcasting. In 1951, after a difficult war and post-war period, the first Japanese Sharp TV was released.
In 1988, Sharp developed the first 14" active-chip LCD. In 1994, a 21" color TFT LCD was released. In the early 2000s, it became possible to mass-produce miniature LCD displays, which began to be introduced into their own phones sold in Japan. Matrices were also supplied to other companies. In 2012, Sharp, at the plant in Kameyama (Japan, Mie Prefecture), began production of 5-inch LCD screens with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. In the same year (and beyond) they were engaged in the release of Retina IPS screens for iPhone, iPad and MacBook.
The first 4k display for a smartphone
In the first half of 2015, Sharp launched a series of displays that combine IZGO (reducing the pixel size through the use of gallium, zinc, indium oxides) and In-Cell (the sensor is built into the matrix) technologies. At the same time, the first 4k mobile screen with a diagonal of 5.5 "was released. It was it that was used in the Sony Z5 Premium. But innovative technologies did not help Sharp achieve high profitability, and in the spring of 2016 the company was bought out by 2/3 of the Chinese Foxconn.
Japan Display Inc.
JDI Corporation was founded in 2012 in Japan, as a result of the merger of the screen divisions of Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba, as well as the state corporation INCJ. The company is engaged in the production of LTPS liquid crystal screens with a high pixel density. Most of them use IPS technology. The company has become one of the main suppliers of Retina screens for the iPhone.
JDI and OLED
In 2014, JDI, together with Sony and Panasonic, and with the financial support of INCJ, created the JOLED Corporation, specialized in the production of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens. It is positioned as a competitor to Samsung, which controls the bulk of the OLED market. It is planned to become one of the key suppliers of AMOLED matrices for Apple by 2018. At the end of 2015, 17% of all displays for portable equipment in the world left the JDI conveyors.
The founders began their activities with the manufacture of household chemicals in the middle of the last century. Work on TFT technology began when Goldstar was a separate company, in 1987. In 1995, a line for the production of LCD displays was launched in the city of Gumi (South Korea). In 1998, LG's display division transferred all screen technologies from other branches of the company. In 1998-2003, the company took first place in the LCD market. In 2001, LG develops Super-IPS technology to address the shortcomings of early IPS panels. It forms the basis of the best screens from LG.
LG OLED screens
Organic LEDs are also receiving attention. Back in 2011, LG Optimus Sol was released - a smartphone with a 3.8-inch Ultra AMOLED screen with a resolution of 800x480. At the end of 2015, the market share of OLED displays for mobile devices seems negligible compared to Samsung. But in numerical terms, it means that about 5,000 organic diode arrays roll off the LG assembly line every day. In total, in 2015, the Korean company occupied about 14% of the mobile screen market.
AU Optronics
AUO is a Taiwanese display manufacturer established in 2001 from the merger of the display divisions of Benq and Acer. In 2006, the company bought out the company Quanta, also specializing in screens. Then it allowed to take first place in the display market. The company is engaged in the development of its own technologies (VA matrices, OLED, OnCell-touchscreens, curved LCD displays) and contract manufacturing of foreign products.
AUO OLED Displays
At the end of 2015, AUO was able to supply about one million OLED screens for smartphones and other portable electronics. This puts it in third place, after Samsung and LG, in terms of production of OLED matrices. In the summer of 2013, the AUO AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 4.4 "and a resolution of 1600x900 pixels saw the light. In 2014, AU Optronics released a 5.7-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2560x1440. However, as of April 2016, the company's management believes that the time for the mass introduction of AMOLED until it is.
Tianma
Tianma Microelectronics was founded in 1983 in Shenzhen (China). Until the beginning of this decade, the company was not widely known, as it developed products for the domestic market. Its main part is industrial LCD screens of low resolution, but with high reliability. Everything changed at the beginning of this decade, when the company started producing displays for mobile equipment. At the moment, it is the largest Chinese manufacturer of matrices.
Tianma's main products are LCD panels, but AMOLED is also being paid attention. In 2014, it took over NLT (which was created from NEC's display division), expanding its technology arsenal. Tianma's customers include Xiaomi, HTC and other well-known smartphone manufacturers. High resolution LCD displays are produced for them. Tianma's technology level reflects the 8k (7680x4320 dots) 10" tablet display shown at CITE-2016.
Other manufacturers
As mentioned at the beginning, there are small companies (mostly Chinese) that make LCD screens. Obsolete equipment, often purchased from market leaders, is used for manufacturing. These screens are installed in ultra-cheap smartphones from little-known brands. By the quality of the picture, such products can be recognized at a glance. Poor viewing angles, dim and uneven backlighting, a grid of pixels visible to the naked eye - these are the main signs that the screen was produced at one of these factories.
We are ready to manufacture both standard products and non-standard commercial equipment according to your drawings and sketches.
Advertising displays - creating a company image
POS materials are an effective and often economical way to create a positive image of a company and arouse interest in its products. When we find ourselves in an unfamiliar environment, we intuitively look for a pointer, or information board, that will tell us how to proceed. That is why POS, in particular advertising displays, are an important part of the image of any firm or enterprise.
Diversity in the choice and execution of POS materials
allows you to correctly highlight / present your products, as well as inform the buyer about your product and its characteristics. For example, gravity advertising displays are an excellent tool for selling drinks due to a convenient and non-standard way of serving cans of a drink to a customer, and shelf talkers draw attention to goods with information about seller discounts or to the distinctive features of a product of a certain manufacturer.
You can provide us with a ready-made drawing of the necessary products, or order the development of a corporate design. Our experts are ready to help you realize the most original ideas.

Telling about the differences between IPS and TN matrices as part of advice when buying a monitor or laptop. It's time to talk about all modern display technologies, which we may encounter and have an idea about types of matrices in devices of our generation. Do not confuse with LED, EDGE LED, Direct LED - these are types of screen backlights and display technology are indirectly related.
Probably, everyone can remember their monitor with a cathode ray tube, which they used earlier. True, there are still users and fans of CRT technology. Currently, screens have increased in diagonal, display manufacturing technologies have changed, there are more and more varieties in the characteristics of matrices, denoted by the abbreviations TN, TN-Film, IPS, Amoled, etc.
The information in this article will help you choose a monitor, smartphone, tablet and other various kinds of equipment. In addition, it will highlight the technologies for creating displays, as well as the types and features of their matrices.
A few words about liquid crystal displays
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)- This is a display made on the basis of liquid crystals, which change their location when voltage is applied to them. If you come close to such a display and look closely at it, you will notice that it consists of small dots - pixels (liquid crystals). In turn, each pixel consists of red, blue and green subpixels. When a voltage is applied, the sub-pixels line up in a certain order and allow light to pass through them, thus forming a pixel of a certain color. Many of these pixels form an image on the screen of a monitor or other device.
The first mass-produced monitors were equipped with matrices TN- having the simplest design, but which cannot be called the highest quality type of matrix. Although among this type of matrices there are very high-quality specimens. This technology is based on the fact that in the absence of voltage, subpixels let light pass through themselves, forming a white dot on the screen. When voltage is applied to the subpixels, they line up in a certain order, forming a pixel of a given color.
Disadvantages of TN matrix
- Due to the fact that the standard pixel color, in the absence of voltage, is white, this type of matrix does not have the best color reproduction. Colors appear dimmer and faded, while blacks appear more of a dark grey.
- Another main disadvantage of TN matrix is the small viewing angles. Partially, they tried to cope with this problem by improving the TN technology to TN + Film, using an additional layer applied to the screen. Viewing angles have become larger, but still remained far from ideal.
At present, TN+Film matrices have completely replaced TN.
Advantages of TN matrix
- short response time
- relatively low cost.
Drawing conclusions, it can be argued that if you need an inexpensive monitor for office work or surfing the Internet, monitors with TN + Film matrices are the best fit.
The main difference between IPS matrix technology and TN- perpendicular arrangement of subpixels in the absence of voltage, which form a black dot. That is, in a state of calm, the screen remains black.
Advantages of IPS matrices
- better color reproduction compared to TN screens: you have bright and rich colors on the screen, and the black color remains really black. Accordingly, when voltage is applied, the pixels change their color. Given this feature, owners of smartphones and tablets with IPS screens can be advised to use dark color schemes and wallpapers on the desktop, then the smartphone battery will last a little longer.
- large viewing angles. In most screens they are 178°. For monitors, and especially for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), this feature is important when a user chooses a gadget.
Disadvantages of IPS matrices
- great screen response time. This affects the display in dynamic pictures such as games and movies. In modern IPS panels, things are better with response time.
- high cost compared to TN.
Summing up, it is better to choose phones and tablets with IPS matrices, and then the user will get great aesthetic pleasure from using the device. The matrix for the monitor is not so critical, modern.
AMOLED screens
The latest smartphone models are equipped with AMOLED displays. This technology for creating matrices is based on active LEDs, which begin to glow and display color when voltage is applied to them.
let's consider features of Amoled matrix:
- Color rendering. The saturation and contrast of such screens is higher than required. Colors are displayed so vividly that some users may experience eye fatigue when using their smartphone for extended periods of time. But the black color is displayed even more black than even in IPS-matrices.
- Display power consumption. As with IPS, displaying black requires less power than displaying a particular color, much less white. But the difference in power consumption between displaying black and white in AMOLED screens is much larger. Displaying white requires several times more power than displaying black.
- "Memory pictures". When a static image is displayed for a long time, traces may remain on the screen, and this in turn affects the quality of the information display.
Also, due to its rather high cost, AMOLED screens are still used only in smartphones. Monitors built on this technology are unreasonably expensive.
VA (Vertical Alignment)- This technology, developed by Fujitsu, can be considered as a compromise between TN and IPS matrices. In VA matrices, the crystals in the off state are located perpendicular to the plane of the screen. Accordingly, the black color is provided as pure and deep as possible, but when the matrix is rotated relative to the direction of view, the crystals will not be visible in the same way. To solve the problem, a multi-domain structure is used. Technology Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment (MVA) provides protrusions on the plates, which determine the direction of rotation of the crystals. If two subdomains are rotated in opposite directions, then when viewed from the side, one of them will be darker and the other lighter, thus for the human eye the deviations cancel each other out. PVA matrices developed by Samsung do not have protrusions, and in the off state, the crystals are strictly vertical. In order for the crystals of neighboring subdomains to rotate in opposite directions, the lower electrodes are shifted relative to the upper ones.
To reduce response time, Premium MVA and S-PVA matrices use a dynamic voltage boost system for certain sections of the matrix, which is commonly referred to as Overdrive. The color reproduction of PMVA and SPVA matrices is almost as good as that of IPS, the response time is slightly inferior to TN, viewing angles are as wide as possible, blacks are the best, brightness and contrast are the highest possible among all existing technologies. However, even with a slight deviation of the direction of view from the perpendicular, even by 5–10 degrees, distortions in semitones can be noticed. For most, this will go unnoticed, but professional photographers continue to dislike VA technology for this.
MVA and PVA matrices have excellent contrast and viewing angles, but things are worse with the response time - it grows as the difference between the final and initial pixel states decreases. Early models of such monitors were almost unsuitable for dynamic games, and now they show results close to TN matrices. The color reproduction of *VA matrices is, of course, inferior to IPS matrices, but remains at a high level. However, thanks to their high contrast ratio, these monitors will be an excellent choice for text and photo work, drawing graphics, and as home monitors.
In conclusion, I can say that the choice is always yours ...
