The new Android-powered T-Line integrates an Android-based processor in an interactive LCD display

PPDS announced the availability of the Philips T-Line — a new range of interactive touch displays designed exclusively for education. First unveiled at ISE 2020 in February, the new Android-powered T-Line integrates an Android-based processor in a 65”, 75”and 86” interactive LCD display. Mounted to the wall like a traditional whiteboard or blackboard, T-Line displays combine all the features and functionality of a traditional interactive display, but with T-Line, students are actively encouraged to participate and collaborate.

Each display features multitouch interaction, as well as high-speed technology and optimized glass coating to deliver a normal writing experience, allowing multiple students to physically interact with the display (20 touch points, simultaneously). The displays can also connect with a keyboard and mouse and have the functionality to support Active Pen technology.

Ensuring students always have the best view of the screen, T-line — running from a secure wireless connection — allows up to 64 students to connect their personal computing devices directly to the display at the same time, while work on up to four students’ devices can be shared onto the display at any one time.

Supporting all major operating systems, including Chrome OS, macOS, Windows, Android and iOS, students can contribute to lessons — viewing, working with and manipulating a document without leaving their seat.

With Philips T-Line, all documents displayed and work carried out can be saved and can then be shared via third-party email apps, or stored in the cloud, ensuring students never miss a thing, while also being kinder to the environment, reducing paper waste.

With additional accessories, such as audio sound bars and cameras, and supporting programs such as Zoom, the new Philips T-Line combines all the functionality of a high-end videoconferencing system, opening untold opportunities for further learning and interactions.

Its features include enhanced lessons, which enable users to connect to Social Apps for Android to pull live feeds, data and mixed media for a classroom that’s filled with rigorous content suitable for all levels of education.
