QPC Lasers, Inc.,
a world leader in the design and manufacture of high brightness, high power
semiconductor lasers for the consumer electronics, industrial, defense, and
medical markets, today announced that it will exhibit at the Society of Information
(SID) Display Week 2008 in booth 659 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in
Los Angeles, CA and will host private demonstrations of its high power miniature
prototype BrightLase® Red-Green-Blue "RGB" laser. Leveraging QPC's
unique semiconductor technology, the laser is designed for high resolution miniature
projectors in the 100 lumens output region for portable handheld consumer electronics.
QPC’s fully integrated RBG laser offers advantages to consumer electronics
manufacturers including expanded color gamut for an exceptionally bright visual
experience, low power consumption, an ultra compact footprint, and is designed
for low cost high volume manufacture. QPC offers visible laser technologies
designed to be compatible with the leading micro-display technology including
LCOS, scanning micro-mirrors, DLP and LCD.
“Advances in electronics technology provide hand-held consumer products
such as PDAs with incredible computing and communications power,” said
Dr. Jeffrey Ungar, President and CEO of QPC Lasers, Inc. “Unfortunately,
the small size and poor resolution of typical 2” display screens makes
their use for applications such as Internet browsing, games and video sharing
a frustrating experience,” said Dr. Ungar.
“Mating consumer electronics with powerful projectors powered by compact,
powerful Red-Green-Blue lasers offers a way around this bottleneck,” said
Dr. Ungar. “We believe that our BrightLase® technology is a vehicle
uniquely suited to making this dream a reality, and expect the exceptional brightness,
efficiency, compactness and low cost of these lasers to provide compelling advantages
in displays for PDAs, games, laptops, automobiles, and aircraft,” concluded
Ungar.
QPC recently announced an exclusive $12 million Laser TV development and production
contract (see announcement dated November 30, 2007) for RGB BrightLase®
Lasers for use in DLP and LCOS. QPC previously demonstrated its green laser
based on frequency doubling of its proprietary BrightLase® single-mode laser
technology (see announcement, September 18, 2007.)
The SID International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, now in its 46th year,
is the premier international gathering of scientists, engineers, manufacturers
and users in the electronic-display industry. The event provides access to a
wide range of technology and applications from high-definition flat-panel displays
using both emissive and liquid-crystal technology to the latest in OLED displays
and large-area projection-display systems. One can find state-of-the-art information
on the latest in image processing, systems software and display processor hardware,
human factors and applied vision, and exciting new applications such as multimedia
and the electronic cinema. With more than 550 booths and 8,000 attendees, SID
is the leading North American show for the electronic-display industry. For
