Next-generation UHD and 4K solid-state illuminated projection

Barco Fredrikstad har lært at noen ganger er det et teknologisk gjennombrudd som forandrer hele industrien. Barco Fredrikstad tror dette er tilfelle for alle solid-state hybrid blå laser-diode/fosfor lyskilde for projeksjon. Det er også en utvikling i TV og kringkastingsmarkedet der vi går vekk fra HDTV (1929 x 1080 pixels) til UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) og 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels). Vi vet at prosjektormarkedet følger TV og kringkastingsmarkedet, og vi vil se en rask vekst i etterspørsel for høyere oppløsninger en HDTV. Vi tror at det neste naturlige nivået er UHD og 4K som ny høy oppløsningsstandard. Det vil bli utviklet metoder som kan gi høyere oppløsning en det bilde brikken har og høyere bilderate enn det som er vanlig på markedet i dag. Vi tror også at lang levetid og lave kostnader fra laser/fosfor lys kilde vil gi store fordeler for denne teknologien. Prosjektormarkedet ønsker mer lys sterke prosjekterer til en lavere kostnad for å konkurrere med andre teknologier på markedet.

We have learned that sometimes there is a breakthrough in technology, which changes the whole industry. ProjectionDesign thinks this could be the case for all solid-state hybrid blue laser-diode/phosphor light sources for projection. There is also a change coming in the TV and broadcasting market where display resolution changes from HDTV (1920 × 1080 pixels) to UHD (3840 × 2160 pixels) and 4K (4096 × 2160 pixels). We know that the projection market follows the TV as well as the broadcasting market, and will see a rapid growing request for higher resolution than HDTV. We believe the next natural level is UHD and 4K as the new High definition standard resolution. The new laser diodes out performs any other light source in wall-plug efficiency, wattage, and is ideal for use in projection due to it long life-time great color coordinates. Solid-state blue laser-diode/phosphor hybrid illumination gives many benefits over existing arc-lamps such as: low maintenance cost due to long lifetime (typical 20,000 hours in high brightness mode), compactness and lower overall cost of optical engine, increased image contrast and extremely wide color gamut, scalable brightness and much lower overall power consumption, to name a few. Texas Instrument (manufacturer of DMD/DLP imager) understands that the request for higher resolution in the coming years will increase. Therefor TI are developing UHD, 4K DMD chip for projection. To optimize for cost the UHD, 4K DMD chip has to be small and a new pixel size needed to be developed. To meet this requirement, TI are developing a new DMD architecture, called TRP (Tilt and Roll Pixel). In this project, ProjectionDesign and HBV will collaborate to develop next generation projector platform for UHD, 4K resolution using all solid-state blue laser/phosphor light source, giving 10000+ lumen brightness, 20000 hours lifetime, compact in size with single DMD chip, and low-cost. Two PhD and many MSc students will also be trained
