TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT SELECTS NEC LARGESCREEN
LCDS FOR TERMINAL 3 (T3) REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
NEC MultiSync LCD4610 and LCD4010 Displays Will Deliver
Flight Status and CheckIn Information Throughout T3
CHICAGO – September, 19, 2005
– NEC Display Solutions today announced that it will supply
its newest largescreen LCDs for Toronto’s Pearson International Airport Terminal 3
Redevelopment Project. The MultiSync LCD4610 and LCD4010 displays will provide dynamic
digital signage capabilities to the passenger checkin/service counters and baggage reclaim areas.
Pearson Airport, which flies an average of 78,000 passengers and handles over a halfamillion
tons of cargo daily, has embarked on a comprehensive redevelopment and expansion of T3.
Installing new technologies and upgrading outofdate flight and baggage information displays
are an integral part of the expansion project, which is part of the overall airport development plan.
“The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) needed a solution that could not only
withstand long hours of use, they needed displays that could perform under sometimes difficult
operational conditions,” said Phil Jackson, Sr. Project Manager for Black & McDonald Limited,
the procurement and installation contractor for the Flight Information Display System at Pearson
Airport. “The NEC LCD displays were selected from a list of numerous providers who tendered
the project based on their meeting the strict specifications required by an international airport
terminal that operates 24/7 365 days per year.”
Designed to withstand the demands of longterm operation, the NEC LCD largescreen displays
have the highest image contrast and brightness quality on the market. The NEC MultiSync
LCD4610 and LCD4010 monitors feature significantly improved visibility and wideangle
viewing in high ambient light environments.
“The NEC largescreen displays offer the most technologically advanced functionality in the
industry making them an ideal solution for airport information applications,” said Hans Baumann,
Senior Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. “Because the technology suite features
higher power efficiency, lower internal temperature sensors and greater brightness control, it
delivers a longer product life and a lower total cost of ownership.”
