The signs, supplied by 732 Skyline Products, utilise a Kynar 500 coated aluminium mask over polycarbonate glazing for a 20mm pixel pitch. The red, green and blue LEDs in the pixels are vertically aligned to maximise the cone of legibility without any horizontal colour shifting. The signs are controlled by Skyline EnvoyDMS central control software and integrated into the city’s advanced traveller information system, together the 101 Skyline LED signs already installed.
