Laser TV by 2007?

Hey Asheville Zumba dancers!

Something got messed up with the code I gave you and it’s sending you here.

Will we have full-color laser-driven TV next year? Some people think so. One company paving the way is Novalux of Sunnyvale, CA. They’ve been developing projection systems using lasers as their light source, which is much cooler running than equivalent halogen source and even have a cell-phone sized device in development.

NECSEL breaks new ground in miniature projection by providing high-power, efficient output from a compact, affordable package. In fact, current palm-top projectors based on LED lighting measure over 30 cubic inches, produce around 20 lumens, and cost in excess of $700.00. NECSEL prototypes display a light output of over 200 lumens with both device size and cost cut in half.

According to optics.org Novalux has

demonstrated its first Necsel laser arrays that emit more than 750 mW of red light. The company has also achieved a 3 W power output from its prototype blue and green arrays – double the power of previous devices.

NECSEL-based RPTVs raise home viewing to a new level. From native high-definition images and a lightweight, thin, wide-viewing-angle screen, to an affordable price, laser RPTV has no match on the market. In line with HDTV standards, NECSEL laser TV provides 500 nits and 1080p. Also, while current LCD and Plasma RPTVs display approximately 40% of the colors your eyes can see, laser systems display close to 90%, well over twice the color coverage. Side by side comparisons add new meaning to the expression “seeing is believing.”

I’m not sure I’d want a projector in my cell phone but there are times when I’d sure like to be able to project a movie I’m watching on my Palm TX.
