[. . . ] Applications at the forefront of technology DePaul University Sprawled over six campuses, Chicago-based DePaul University has a reputation for being one of the most innovative urban schools in the country. [. . . ] After researching LCD and plasma technology, they decided on plasma, due to its higher contrast, brighter color in ambient light, better picture detail and lower cost. Each display unit incorporates a computer system, live Internet feed and 11 NEC 42and 50 inch plasma displays, configured to broadcast pre-determined, looped information at DePaul's downtown and six Chicagoland campus locations. The displays effectively communicate information in the street-facing windows and campus locations for students as well as the walking public to view. Depending on the location, the feed may include a variety of web sites with local and national news, sports, traffic and weather. And every few minutes, promotional material created by DePaul also runs, to inform students of new course offerings or university events. A bright image was especially important in the window units due to possible glare caused by daylight and window reflection, and NEC's plasma technology was able to meet this special criteria, due to its patented capsulated color filter technology, which improves color response and enhances contrast, producing readable images even in harsh light. The DePaul technology team also was impressed with the clear, contrasted images the plasma displayed ­ even at extreme viewing angles. the benefits Since the plasma displays were launched, the response from students, faculty and staff has been outstanding. Not only are students better aware of world and local news, but they also have timely information about what's going on in their own university, from campus and local job openings, to educational seminars and social events.
