Case Study: MLD Productions achieves brighter, clearer outdoor events with NEC Display Solutions' E505 displays

NEC’s direct-lit displays help Central California charity events shine even brighter

MLD Productions, a family-run multimedia rental and services company serving local charities, churches and festivals in Central California, needed portable, easy-to-use digital signage bright enough for outdoor nonprofit events. To replace verbal announcements and wind-prone projection onto sheets at upcoming Relay for Life events, MLD Productions turned to NEC Display Solutions seeking displays with lockable controls, high brightness and lightweight portability.

NEC Display Solutions supplied four NEC E505 direct‑lit, commercial‑grade displays—1080p LED‑backlit panels with integrated tuners, speakers and a USB multimedia player—allowing MLD to show clear schedules, safety notices and memorial slideshows at Relay for Life events in Lompoc and Santa Barbara. The NEC solution produced noticeably improved readability and audience engagement versus prior methods, eliminated wind‑distorted projections, drew positive feedback from committee members and attendees, and enabled MLD to deploy the displays across multiple event locations.
