Digital Signage has become increasingly popular in Japan, as we see installations in areas such as train stations, airports, hospitals, office buildings, shopping malls, and large grocery stores where many people gather. LCDs are used in trains and taxicabs as digital signage terminals, and the market is expected to grow as a new advertising medium.

The digital signage market has been expanding due to the development of new image distribution technologies, maintenance of the next generation network infrastructures, and the cost reduction of liquid crystal and plasma flat screen displays.
