The terms “flat screen” and “flat panel” are often used interchangeably — they both refer to a screen that has a flat surface across the entire viewing area, in contrast to the traditional convex screen of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) displays.
Flat screens were introduced to the commercial market at the end of the 90s and marked a swift improvement in image definition. However, the earliest flat screens still used CRT technology, and it wasn’t until the development and broader distribution of LCD/plasma/LED technologies that a higher definition was possible.
Now, almost all screens are flat, so the terms flat screen/flat panel are used widely. However, the term “flat screen” is more often used in reference to TVs, while “flat panel” is often used to differentiate larger digital or interactive displays, such as Avocor’s interactive touchscreen range.
So, wherever you see the term “flat panel,” expect to see a commercial unit designed for meeting and conference rooms or schools and travel hubs. Both “flat screens” and “flat panels” have flat screens — the term “panel” generally suggests a larger screen size than a consumer TV set.
Avocor manufactures a range of flat screens in sizes to suit small, intimate offices as well as large meeting rooms or public spaces.
Our flat screens start at 27-inch for 1-2 person office spaces to massive 86-inch displays, designed for collaboration and group work.
Our flat screens provide optimal viewing distances thanks to UHD and 4K pixel density. Our recommendations:
Mounting your screen on the wall provides a broader view for your audience. We recommend choosing a screen that accommodates the functionality of the room.
Flat panel displays are much thinner and flatter than traditional Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) screens, which had a convex screen and an electron gun at the end of a funnel-like beam deflector tube. The CRT was much bulkier than modern flat screens, meaning that TV sets and computer monitors were large and heavy units that took up lots of desk space.
CRTs had convex screens, literally bulging outwards from the corners of the display. And this outward curve meant that the exterior edges of the screen were less sharp than the center — a bit like looking into a magnifying glass where the outer image is blurred.
Flat panel displays overcome this outer image distortion, providing a crisp picture (and usually a wider viewing angle) across the entire screen.
This, and the LED technology used to create flat panel displays, allows flat screens to offer images of a much higher definition than CRTs.
LED displays are much thinner than CRTs because there’s no beam deflector tube behind the screen. LED screens are slim and sleek and can be hung on the wall, which is particularly useful for meeting rooms and office spaces.
Flat panel displays offer great versatility in how viewers interact with displayed content, with many flat screens capable of touch interaction, such as the Avocor interactive touch screen range.
