Designer of world's first truly wireless TV also wins Bronze Stevie Award in startup of the year category
SAN DIEGO, April 27, 2023 - Displace, an in-home entertainment startup, was named the winner of a Gold Stevie® award in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year – Up to 100 Employees category in the 21st annual Stevie American Business Awards today. In addition, Displace won a Bronze Stevie® award in the Startup of the Year – Consumer Products Industries category.
Displace is the designer and manufacturer of the world's first truly wireless TV. Displace TVs solve many of the common problems associated with flat-screen television, which are unwieldy, tedious to mount, cluttered with wires and utilize antiquated remote controls.
Displace TVs are super lightweight (less than 20 lbs), transportable and can be used in combination with multiple Displace TVs to form any sized TV. The 55" 4K TVs are powered by a proprietary hot-swappable battery system and can be easily secured to any surface with no mounting required, using Displace's proprietary active-loop vacuum technology. Displace TVs are primarily controlled by natural hand gesture movements, in addition to touch and voice interfaces.
"The Stevie Awards have highlighted industry-changing technology and breakthroughs for more than two decades and we are honored to win in two categories," said Displace founder and CEO Balaji Krishnan. "It's especially gratifying to read the judges' comments and see that some judges believe we have the potential to become a household name. Displace continues to innovate and we envision a world with multiple displays on people's walls, effectively creating the next true ambient computing platform with the potential applications being limitless."
