LEDs and Lasers

Insight Media has released three reports covering the use of arc lamps, LEDs and lasers in projection systems.

LEDs will arrive in rear-projection TV sets this year, with lasers coming perhaps two years after that. The rapid maturity of these solid-state illumination sources could revitalize the projection industry, especially the rear-projection TV segment, according to the Norwalk, Conn.-based market research firm.

The three reports include:

• Laser Projection Report - with market segment analysis

• LED Projection Report - with market segment analysis

• Projection Lamp Report - with lamp replacement model

"LED and laser display systems created quite a stir at CES," noted Insight Media president, Chris Chinnock. "This is why we gave out 'Best Buzz' awards to important new device developers and RPTV system integrators. Many TV product planners will now be wondering if an LED or laser-based RPTV should be part of their product line up. These newly released reports address exactly this concern."

You'll find new display technologies and market information in the March issue of Canadian Electronics magazine.
