Leyard Does the Frankfurt Auto Show

Frankfurt Auto Show

Top automobile companies around the world gather together at the Frankfurt Auto Show to show the changes their latest technologies and design have brought to people's lives.

Now China display maker Leyard joins in by aiding the SMART Mercedes-Benz in the Frankfurt Auto Show.

In traditional auto shows, celebrations or stage performances, people often chose the P6 display screen, says Leyard. In recent years, high-end rental companies were choosing P4 to enhance the screen resolution because of the development of industrial technology in LED screens. But P4 is still governed by the fact that the screen is limited by the size and high resolution of the screen.

Says Leyard. “Leyard’s 1.9 HD screens have broken through the technical bottleneck, making full HD and 4K possible. Under the drive of the 4K concept within the video industry around the globe and giants in the global distribution leasing industry, the German LANG company has purchased one 4K P1.9 screen from Leyard for a top international event, and Mercedes-Benz used it at the Frankfurt Auto Show.”

If you listened closely last week, you may have heard the rumble as the distribution landscape shifted once more.

Another giant of IT will focus on the Pro AV market. Avnet Technology Solution is a $10 billion distributor but unlike its cousins (Ingram Micro, Tech Data) Avnet ATS has always avoided the PC itself. Instead Avnet specializes in vertical markets and higher-valued IT networks and infrastructure.

Graeme Watt is President of Avnet Technology Solutions, EMEA and comes from their acquisition of Bell Micro, a storage distributor you may recognize as they frequented the broadcast industry (and often exhibited at IBC). Prior to Bell Micro, Watt was President EMEA at Tech Data EMEA.

Now Advantech, the embedded platform and integration services company, has signed an agreement with Avnet Technology Solutions. The partnership is formed specifically for the ProAV market in Europe.
