CES 2009: Luminus Powers Next-Generation HD Home Theater Projector from Chi Lin Technology

Luminus Devices, Inc., today announced that Chi Lin Technology, a leading ODM/OEM manufacturer is bringing a new home theater projector to market based on the company’s PhlatLight® LED PT-120 high-performance chipset.

The new home theater projector combines PhlatLight LEDs and Texas Instruments’ digital light processing (DLP®) technology to offer an expanded color gamut, incredible color and brightness stability and best-in-class reliability for home theater customers. The PhlatLight LED PT-120 chipset is designed specifically for home theater projectors and contains a red, green and blue LED and offers instant start up without the warm-up and cool-down period required by today’s conventional mercury lamp technologies. The new projector is built with an environmentally responsible design and the light source is expected to never need replacement.

“The home theater projector from Chi Lin offers consumers a wonderful viewing experience as the brightness, color gamut and overall reliability is unmatched,” said Matt Mazzuchi, General Manager, Projection Display Business Group, Luminus Devices. “The new LED projector is a culmination of dedicated work by Chi Lin designers, utilizing next-generation technologies such as PhlatLight LEDs in combination with DLP in an environmentally conscious design that made this best-in-class projector a reality.”

“Luminus continues to set even higher standards for brightness and color performance in LEDs and our new DLP home theater projector gives consumers a home theater viewing experience that no one else offers,” said Alex Wang, Senior Product Manager, Chi Lin Technology. “There are many components built into a home theater projector that improve performance and reliability for consumers, but none more important than PhlatLight LEDs.”

Luminus will be demonstrating the new Chi Lin home theater projector at CES, January 8-11, in their Suite #4118 inside the Las Vegas Hilton.
