LED illumination is helping the front projector market evolve by eliminating the size, heat, fragility, and lifespan issues commonly associated with mercury arc lamps. Such improvements have created a new class of small, light, ultra-portable �pocket projectors� that promise to benefit business travelers and consumers by enabling instant projection rooms anywhere at anytime. Until now, pocket projectors using conventional LED technology have experienced limited popularity beyond niche markets due to their lack of brightness.
Enter the new PhlatLight LEDs, specifically optimized for projection applications and enabling ten times the brightness of projectors using conventional LEDs. All the benefits PhlatLight technology brings to RPTV, including improved brightness, color, contrast, reliability, efficiency and environmental friendliness, are now available to pocket projectors.
PhlatLight is used to illuminate the new HS-101 Ultra Mobile Projector from LG Electronics, which is available in various markets around the world starting in the fall of 2007.
The P400 pocket projector from Samsung Electronics was introduced at the 2008 CES and is coming to markets around the world beginning in the Summer of 2008.
Coming Soon
PhlatLight LEDs' outstanding color quality, longevity and reliability are also well suited for high quality home theater, business and education projectors with a DLP based prototype publicly shown by Texas Instruments and Luminus, expected to come to market later in 2008.
Also, PhlatLight technology is well suited for the new "pico" or "nano" projector category, designed to bring ultra-miniature projectors to portable consumer products such as camcorders, cameras, laptops, media players and cell phones.
