Times Square Celebration with Daktronics Spectacular

Times Square Celebration with Daktronics Spectacular

When people hear “New Year,” the first image that may appear in their heads is Times Square filled with a large crowd, waiting anxiously for the magic minute to arrive. Many of the glimmering displays located on One Times Square, the tower from which the iconic New Year’s Eve Ball drops, were manufactured by Daktronics Inc. (NASDAQ-DAKT).

Daktronics’ first Times Square installation was the well-known Dow Jones Zipper Display in 1986. Since that time, Daktronics has added more than 20 major installations to the world-famous area of New York City, more than any other LED display manufacturer. Some of the most famous Daktronics installations in Times Square include the Coca-Cola® display, the Anheuser-Busch sign, and the Samsung and Prudential displays.

Last year’s New Year’s Eve crowd was estimated at right around one million people, and this year’s crowd could be even bigger. For an entire century, Times Square has been the place to be for New Year’s Eve celebrations due to its array of ground-breaking technology. Since the first LED display in Times Square in the early 1990s, Times Square has maintained the status of the high-tech advertising capital of the world. LED digital displays have completely revolutionized the advertising industry, allowing the Crossroads of the World spectaculars to engage the public more than ever before.

Daktronics has strong leadership positions in, and is the world’s largest supplier of, computer-programmable displays, large screen video displays, digital billboards, electronic scoreboards and control systems. The company excels in the control of large display systems, including those that require integration of multiple complex displays showing real-time information, graphics, animation and video. Daktronics designs, manufactures, markets and services display systems for customers around the world, in sport, business and transportation applications.
