Las Vegas, NV, Infocomm
2010, June 10, 2010 – Luminus Devices Inc., designer, developer
and manufacturer of high light output PhlatLight® LEDs, today announced that its
PT-39 chipset is powering Acer’s K11 second generation DLP projector, the
world’s smallest projector to offer a brightness of 200 lumens. Succeeding the
K10 projector, the K11 offers twice the performance in a reduced
footprint of only 12.2 x 11.6 mm2,
and weighing a mere 0.61
Kg. The K11 is compatible with iPhones/iPads, supports USB media
sources, High Definition multimedia devices and includes a built-in card reader
for fast media sharing.
The
PhlatLight LED PT-39 chipset is engineered specifically for projection systems
that use micro-displays ranging from 0.4” to 0.55”
with individual red, green and blue LEDs. PhlatLight LEDs are larger than conventional
LEDs and operate reliably at significantly higher intensity, delivering light
output levels unprecedented in monolithic LEDs. Projectors illuminated by PhlatLight LEDs
produce up to forty percent wider color gamut than the National Television
Systems Committee standard.
“With
the K11, Acer demonstrates how our customers can take advantage of PhlatLight
continuous performance and efficacy improvement to shrink their designs and still
manage dramatic performance improvements,” said Stephane
Bellosguardo, director of global product marketing, display, Luminus Devices. “Size
and brightness are critical attributes driving the fast adoption of
ultra-mobile multimedia projectors and the K11 is setting new standards in that
respect.”
“Thanks to Luminus’ PT-39 PhlatLight LEDs, we can offer our mobile
customers a versatile second generation lamp-free projector, more compact yet
brighter than its predecessor,” said Victor Chien, director of digital display business
unit, Acer Inc. “The addition of versatile multimedia interfaces combined with
LEDs’ deep colors makes the K11 a compelling accessory for business and
entertainment applications alike.”
The
PhlatLight PT-39 LEDs are highly reliable and last
in excess of 20,000 hours in the K11 pocket projector. They are free of hazardous
materials and fully compliant with the European Economic
Community’s Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
directive.
Luminus
will be demonstrating the Acer K11 with its PT-39 PhlatLight LED chipset at
Infocomm, June 9-11 in Suite
460/463 at the Las Vegas Hilton. To schedule a meeting with a
