SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A total of 1,800m² of Absen (SZSE: 300389) LEDs have been installed in the OXO City area of Shanghai Hongqiao airport.

The centrepiece of this ambitious project is a gigantic 700m² videowall at the airport’s exit, which welcomes travellers and visitors into the adjacent shopping environment featuring a further 40 screens arranged into eight cubes, all of which are used to display the same vivid, cyberpunk-inspired 3D video content.

OXO City – which is connected to Hongqiao International Airport’s T2 in the east and Hongqiao Railway Station in the west – also serves as the transfer station of Line 2, 10, 17 of the city’s metro, giving it an average daily passenger flow of over 500,000 people.

After winning the project, the client installation team decided that the high brightness, colour uniformity, and flexible configuration of Absen’s new KL series made it the ideal fit for such a high-profile installation.

“The sheer size of the screens calls for displays with exceptional flatness,” said Absen sales manager Ying Chen. “The content played on the screen is very immersive – especially the 3D portions – so the LED panels had to be flawless and offer outstanding image quality.”

Absen’s KL is a front and rear installation and maintenance product with a depth of only 70mm and weighing at 7.8kg per panel. In addition, KL is an all-in-one product, with PSU (power supply units), cables, receiving cards and the other key components inside, which makes both installation and maintenance of the panels as easy as possible for end users.

“Building such a gigantic fixed indoor LED display in such as central place with a heavy passenger flow is challenging,” said Chen. “OXO City has very strict regulations and restrictions, so the project had its share of challenges. During the actual installation process, for example, Absen’s team of engineers had to work together with experts and technicians from different institutions involved in this project, making a number of adjustments in the process.”

Terry Zhu, the product director for Absen, concluded: “The giant LED display is becoming more and more important in the infrastructure of the biggest cities in China and the rest of the world. With 19 years of devotion to this industry, Absen has a wealth of experience in these high-end projects, as well as the confidence to fulfil every requirement our customers have.”

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A new 100,000 Livres banknote, issued by Banque du Liban to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the foundation of Lebanon, is one of the most secure in the world. The news was presented on December 7, 2020 by the Banque du Liban. Lebanon will thus be the first country in the world to use the new security feature Cinema™ – which has been developed by the British company CCL Secure Ltd (“CCL”) in collaboration with Rolling Optics. The technology integrated in the polymer banknote substrate allows for visual 3D and motion effects and forms a new dimension in preventing counterfeiting. The Cinema^™ effect is the centrepiece of the design both visually and technologically. In addition, the innovative design of the Lebanese banknote is themed around images of Nejmeh Square (Parliament Square), which symbolizes the country’s independence and democracy.

The new banknote is a so-called commemorative banknote and is issued in a smaller edition. It will therefore only have a very limited effect on Rollings Optics’ turnover and results. On the other hand, the first central bank-issued banknote containing Cinema™ is of great strategic importance to Rolling Optics. It opens up for commercial banknotes in larger volumes and thus significant long-term opportunities in polymer banknotes. The launch is also expected to have a positive effect on other parts of the High Security and Brand Security business areas as it contributes to the technology’s and the company’s credibility.

Through close collaboration, CCL and Rolling Optics have succeeded in integrating Rolling Optics’ unique 3D technology into CCL’s process of manufacturing polymer banknotes, which enables the complete integration of Rolling Optics’ security effects as early on as during the first stage of manufacturing the banknote substrate. The effect is marketed by CCL under the name Cinema™; www.cclsecure.com/cinema.

– This is very advanced security and the world’s first application of this new technology in a polymer banknote, says Dr. Tim Berridge, Director of R&D, Marketing and Design with CCL Secure.

With about 80 percent of the market, CCL is the world’s biggest producer of polymer banknotes and currently supplies 24 countries with polymer banknotes in over 160 denominations. With countries like Canada and the UK among the customers recently switching from paper banknotes to polymer ones, more countries are expected to follow suit. CCL is the leading actor in the transformation of the banknote market, whereby polymer substrates and hybrid substrates are replacing traditional paper banknotes. Polymer banknotes are regarded as being more sustainable and environmentally friendly, as well as being more hygienic and difficult to copy than paper banknotes.

Rolling Optics has been collaborating with CCL Secure (previously Innovia Security) since 2015. An agreement between Rolling Optics and CCL provides CCL with a non-exclusive licence to integrate Rolling Optics’ technology into banknotes, with Rolling Optics obtaining a royalty for each manufactured and sold banknote featuring its 3D technology.

– The greatest acknowledgement a new technology can get in the security industry is being integrated into banknotes. This is a sector with long development and sales cycles, but now we’re here. Finally, the first commercial banknote in limited edition, a so-called commemorative banknote, which contains Rolling Optics technology has been launched by a central bank, which is a very important milestone. The path is clear to launch the first commercial banknote in large volumes within a couple of years, says Axel Lundvall, CEO, Rolling Optics.

Voyages departing on board Queen Mary 2 up to and including May 28, 2021, and on board Queen Elizabeth up to and including June 4, 2021, are now cancelled. Departures on Queen Victoria remain unaffected and are scheduled to resume May 17, 2021.

Guests who have had their voyage cancelled will automatically receive a 125% Future Cruise Credit, providing an additional 25% on any monies paid, to redeem against a future voyage.

The 125% Future Cruise Credit can be used on any new booking made by the end of December 2021 and on any voyage available at the time of booking.  Voyages are currently available through to early 2023.

“We are extremely sorry for the disappointment we know this will cause. We know how much careful consideration goes into planning a holiday and apologize that our guests now have to wait a little longer to travel once again with Cunard.

“Guests are able to use their enhanced 125% Future Cruise Credit to book for later in 2021 or for one of our newly announced 2022 voyages.
