Light Blue Optics Demonstrates Miniature Projection Systems at SID 2007 with Ultra-Wide Throw Angle and Significant Advances in Speckle Reduction

Light Blue Optics (LBO) today announced it will show a range of
miniature projection systems at the Society for Information Display
(SID 2007). The systems demonstrate the ultra-wide throw angle
(greater than 90 degrees) capabilities of LBO's patented holographic
laser projection technology, and feature significant advances in
speckle reduction. This news follows LBO's recent announcement of an
exclusive development partnership with microdisplay manufacturer
Displaytech, and a joint development agreement with Thales, the
world-class aerospace & defence company.

Engineering Samples of LBO's miniature projection systems will be
made available from July 2007 to key customers and strategic partners
interested in developing products based on the company's holographic
laser projection technology. LBO's systems project large, full colour,
high-quality video images that remain in focus at all distances and
are ideal for deployment in a range of markets including consumer
electronics, automotive and digital signage. Only LBO's novel approach
to projection can simultaneously deliver a unique combination of
features: ultra-wide throw angle, in-built speckle reduction, infinite
focus, low power consumption, and a robust design with no moving parts
that lends itself to miniaturisation and low cost manufacture.

Light Blue Optics' CEO, Dr Chris Harris said, "LBO set out to
tackle the two biggest remaining challenges in laser projection -
achieving a wide throw angle without compromising image quality, and
reducing laser speckle within the projection device without requiring
any moving parts. At SID 2007, we will demonstrate that our miniature
projection systems meet these challenges. This event marks an
important milestone on our fast-paced technology roadmap and takes us
closer to our goal of being the world's leading supplier of miniature
projection systems."
