SmartSlab

SmartSlab is an LED technology invented in 1999 by Tom Barker.cite web |url= http://www.interactivearchitecture.org/7.html |title= SMARTSLAB |author= Ruairi Glynn, The Bartlett |work= Interactive Architecture |date= 13 May 2005 |quote= Tom Barker, an RCA graduate, runs b consultants ltd, an architectural consultancy responsible for the invention of an amazing multi media display system called SMARTSLAB. While working with Zaha Hadid on the Mind Zone at the Millennium Dome, Tom created a translucent structural panel consisting of a honeycomb aluminium composite sandwiched between clear fiberglass resin. Fusing structure with media, he put LEDs into the honeycomb cells creating a ‘high tech stained glass’. ] The SmartSlab technology uses a hexagonal pixel in a structural composite honeycomb so that it is possible for displays to be integrated into architecture.cite web |url= http://www.targetti.com/news/en/idcat_2/PRODUCTS_/anno_2006/idarticolo_434/SMARTSLAB:_DIGITAL_LED_DISPLAY_FOR_ARCHITECTURAL_APPLICATIONS! |title= SMARTSLAB: digital LED display for architectural applications! |author= Targetti |date= 27 June 2006 |quote= Smartslab is much brighter than any other digital displays available on the market, using an equivalent led light source. This performance is possible thanks to the revolutionary HEXEL, the “Hexagonal Pixel” which is the elementary cell of each Smartslab panel. The Hexel is a patented device, resulting by the synergic combination of electronics, optics and lighting know-how. ]

SmartSlab Ltd. is the London-based company that develops, distributes, and markets SmartSlab-based solutions.
