Is digital signage a green industry? How will the NF3 gas situation play out?
In July, a scientist at Cal-Irvine released an article saying that NF3, a gas used in LCD and plasma screen production, is 17,000 times as powerful as carbon dioxide and may be harmful to the environment.
How should the digital signage industry respond to this? Can the industry be considered green?

Laws are already in place to ensure no release of dangerous chemicals and gases from electronics. As for the manufacturing of these products - I'm sure little or none is released. Co2 is something that's harder to control - and hence should be the focus.
It stands to reason that there are a lot less printed posters and signs in landfills as a result digital signage taking its place.
