Cine LED does not rely on a color wheel

The new line of Lighting Science LED retrofit lamps will offer a warm and pleasing light color, meet or exceed Energy Star energy efficiency standards, and be UL certified. Operating samples of the new Lighting Science retrofit lamps will be shown and demonstrated at the California Governors' Global Change Summit 2 in Los Angeles.

The M-Vision Cine LED produces up to 600 lumens and 10,000:1 contrast. A quiet, compact chassis, the M-Vision Cine LED presents a powerful large-screen imaging solution in an affordable but precise chassis. Ideal M-Vision LED venues include theatrical viewing spaces with controlled ambient light with screens up to 8’ wide. When installed in such venues, the M-Vision Cine LED produces the dynamic range, rich color saturation and vivid contrast of a 3-chip DPL display, but from a smaller and more cost effective chassis. As the Cine LED does not incorporate a traditional lamp, media environments utilizing the new display will benefit from their Lifetime Illumination? 60,000+ hour lifespan. Additionally, the single-chip M-Vision Cine LED does not rely on a color wheel, which renders the projector completely free of the color wheel artifacts that some home theater enthusiasts find distracting.

Installation is incredibly flexible due to the M-Vision Cine LED’s compact and lightweight chassis design, and extraordinary lens shift range of 30% horizontal and 120% vertical. Multiple lens options provide further flexibility, with a throw ratio ranging from 1.25 to 3.0:1. There is also a fixed lens which offers a .73:1 throw ratio. Connectivity includes two HDMI inputs, as well as RGB via D-15, component, composite and S-Video inputs.

According to The Korea Times, the new 840,000-square-meter manufacturing facility, which will begin producing LED components and materials next year and LCD glass in 2012, will be critical in LG's plans to exploit the sharply increasing demand for next-generation display and lighting technologies, company officials said.The country's leading chemical producer, will invest 3 trillion won into the new Paju plant through 2018 to establish seven manufacturing lines for LCD glass substrates. LG Innotek, the LED-related subsidiary, will invest another 1 trillion won through 2012.The new plant will help offer one-stop manufacturing solution for next-generation technologies, including research and development, components and equipment, and LCD panels. The clear focus is on LED BLUs, which will be used in the large-size LCD televisions and monitors produced at LG Display's LCD cluster.

YAHAM Innotek will use the new facility to produce LED BLUs and lighting components, with the first products to be rolled out next May. The plant will eventually boost the company's production capabilities of LEDs by four times the current level, said the company, which plans to generate 1.5 trillion won in LED revenue and acquire 10 percent of the global market in LED packages by 2012.The grant will allow the company to produce a pilot line of products in an attempt to transform the LED-manufacturing industry with its cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing expertise, company and state officials said. Micron, which has been exploring the project over the past nine months, already employs 30 people full-time and others part-time on the venture.

a great energy saver for corporate or public space applications

an innovator of LED lighting systems and technologies, has introduced its next generation of fully-controllable white LED lighting products and for myriad high-quality general illumination applications. Enfis will be making these systems available immediately through its North American distributors and specialist partners.Last year, Enfis achieved a major breakthrough with an LED-based white light technology that produces high quality white light which can be controlled over a range of color temperatures from warm to cool shades of light. This proprietary technology couples advances in white LEDs with Enfis’ patented Sentinel? SMART control technology, achieving a high-quality white light solution for the general illumination market.

Enfis’ smart and efficient white light technology leverages the advanced control capabilities of Sentinel to give users an entirely new level of white light flexibility. It is unique in that it can produce a high color rendering index (CRI), resulting in high-quality light across the entire spectrum of white. For example, users would have the ability to select any shade of white light they desire, whether it is warmer tones for more comfortable hospitality or home lighting, or cooler tones that make the most of certain retail displays. What's more, smart and efficient white light can be programmed for a variety of effects, including gradually changing shades of white over time (ideal for day into evening lighting) or turning on and off based on motion sensing (a great energy saver for corporate or public space applications).

Enfis’ smart and efficient lighting solutions simplify white lighting designs by giving users the ability to choose white light temperatures points on a gamut displayed in the Sentinel 2.2 software. Enfis’ LED array specifications and temperature characteristics have been integrated into the Sentinel v2.2 software content library, which supports Enfis’ LED controllers.LED architectural lighting systems require reliable and long-distance transmission. However, signal transmission is usually and discretely variable over time or significant distances. MBI6020, with leading clock reverse engine, enhances the long-distance transmission performances of LED architectural lighting systems.Token topology with self-alignment addressing to ensure the accuracy of image data transmission. Therefore, MBI6020 is specifically designed for LED architectural lighting applications such as LED curtains or LED strips, channel letters and neon replacement projects.

Luna Street, a division of the Luna Road Company that specializes in the design, manufacture, supply and installation of the new high-tech, Eco-Friendly Luna Road Lights; has recently unveiled their new Luna Eyes Solar Street Light.The Luna Eyes Solar Street Light combines high efficiency solar panel, controller, human infrared motion sensor module, high-capacity lithium-ion battery and LED Lighting technology into a compact housing unit. The Luna Eyes Solar Street Light captures the maximum source energy from the sun during the daytime, and uses this energy during the night for a brilliant-futuristic illumination quality.

The Luna Eyes Solar Street Light is easy to install and operate. No special cables are needed, and the entire lighting system is built into one compact housing unit, removing the need to construct separate brackets to house different parts of the solar street light system. The Luna Eyes Solar Street Light can be easily installed by clamping its brackets onto a regular pole and no special machines, vehicles or tools is required.During the nighttime, the Luna Eyes Solar Street Light remains at a specific illumination intensity level when there are no humans around, and when it senses human activity, the brightness level increases in intensity, helping to guide pedestrians and drivers safely along their way. The system can also be engineered to remain at one illumination intensity level throughout the night if you so desire.

Toshiba’s Active Vision M200HD compliments the LED backlight, combining intelligent backlight scanning to create ultra smooth 200Hz effect motion flow. Images are broken up into specific segments and black sections introduced into intermediate frames, which are quickly refreshed in tandem to provide efficiently managed, fast-moving pictures with no image judder.The SV range also features Toshiba’s Resolution+ technology, which is designed to be the bridge between a standard definition source – such as a digital television broadcast or DVD – and the HD resolution screen. The technology works by using a powerful processor to review the adjacent areas of an image, picking out similar waveforms and combining pixel information to enhance edge detail within the picture. The result is a sharper and more defined image, much closer to high-definition standard.
