Luminus Devices’ PhlatLight LEDs Power New HX300G XGA Ultra-Compact Projectors From LG Electronics
January 7, 2010
HX300G’s high-brightness and increased
resolution create new opportunities for lamp-free projectors in business and
home display markets
Las Vegas, NV, Consumer Electronics
Show, January 7, 2010―Luminus Devices, Inc., developer and
manufacturer of high light output, “Big Chip” PhlatLight® LEDs, today announced
that its award-winning PhlatLight LEDs are powering the HX300G, LG’s latest sub-1kg
high-brightness LED projectors.
The HX300G combines XGA (1024 x 768)
resolution with market leading 300 ANSI lm brightness in a compact form factor
suitable for mobility applications, small-to-medium size meeting rooms and
casual home entertainment.
Similarly to the recently announced LG
HS200, the HX300G incorporates versatile
input/output connectivity options, including HDMI, USB, and a FM transmitter
for audio broadcast to an external stereo system, that displays digital pictures
or movies directly from solid-state memory drives. Leveraging the “instant
start” capability from its LED light source, the HX300G can be set up to
display professional or entertainment content in seconds and can also display a
variety of content without any external source device.
“The HX300G brings XGA resolution and higher brightness to our
line of LED projectors, addressing requests from our business customers as well
as most consumers,” said Brian Park, marketing team leader for LG. “PhlatLight
LEDs deliver the performance needed to project larger screen sizes in normal
ambient lighting conditions, while maintaining a very compact form factor. This
directly translates into new opportunities to grow our LED projector sales in small
and medium meeting rooms for business as well as in homes, where they are a
viable second large display that unlike flat panel TVs can easily be moved
around the house.”
“The HX300G is LG’s third generation projector illuminated by
PhlatLight LEDs. It brings both market leading performance and distinctly innovative
features, illustrating LG’s technological leadership and marketing sophistication
in this emerging category,” said Stephane Bellosguardo, director of product marketing, display business group,
Luminus Devices. “This projector’s ease-of-use and
ability to read content from USB mass-storage devices makes it perfect for personal
projection and will equally please mobile business users and consumers.”
PhlatLight
LEDs are an environmentally friendly technology which is mercury-free and fully
compliant with the RoHS directive. Their high reliability eliminates the need
for light source replacement, resulting in maintenance-free, worry-free
projectors.
Luminus
will be demonstrating the new LG HX300G and the HS200 at CES, January 7-10 in Suite #577 at the
Las Vegas Hilton. To schedule a meeting with a Luminus spokesperson or for more
