Light Blue Optics Demonstrates Latest Miniature Projection Systems and New Use-Cases at SID 08



    Light Blue Optics (LBO) today announced it will demonstrate its latest miniature projection

    systems at the Society for Information Display, 18-23

    May (SID 2008). These highly

    efficient, low-cost miniature projection systems are based on LBO´s

    proprietary holographic laser projection technology and have

    applications across multiple high-volume markets, including consumer

    electronics and automotive. The Company will make evaluation units available to key customers and strategic development partners

    from June 2008 as part of its fast-paced product development programme.
    At SID 08, LBO will demonstrate bright, efficient miniature projection

    systems with a range of differentiating features that can be

    tailored to suit specific customer applications. The systems deliver

    superior image quality with in-built speckle reduction, variable

    resolution (WVGA to QVGA) and focus-free operation, enabling multiple

    use-cases to be realised by the same device. Due to the unique

    properties of holographic laser projection, LBO´s

    systems also offer the option of enhanced image brightness for use in

    higher ambient lighting conditions.
    Light Blue Optics´ CEO, Dr Chris Harris said, "LBO´s

    holographic laser projection technology meets our customers´ requirements for bright, efficient miniature projection systems with

    superior image quality and focus-free operation. However, there is also

    an emerging demand for systems capable of delivering variable resolution

    and brightness configurations to enable new and exciting use-cases to be

    realised by a single device. At SID, we will demonstrate how the

    inherent versatility of LBO´s unique

    technology platform meets these additional demands, opening up

    high-volume market opportunities and positioning us to become the

    world´s leading supplier of miniature projection systems."
