A Spray Display is a quick, very cheap way to turn any flat surface into computer and video display.

Description / Specifications

Installation requires placing a set of electrical control rods on the surface, then spraying several layers of conductive materials, a layer of fluorescing pixel elements and finally a transparent protective layer. The process generally takes a few hours to allow the layers to be applied, align themselves and dry properly.

  • Display resolution is poor (600 µm pixel pitch is standard), and if not applied with care, there will be noticeable display artifacts.

History & Background / Dossier

Spray Displays are available from TL-12 onwards.

The display is temporary, lasting a year or so before degrading, longer if in a protected environment, shorter if exposed to the elements like sunlight and harsh atmospheric conditions. There isn't any way to fix the display, it has to be removed and replaced.
