Laser Phosphor Display
In this talk, we discuss the Laser Phosphor Display (LPD) technology which Prysm began developing in 2005. The technology utilizes solid-state lasers and optical scanning to create an image on a phosphor-based panel. We describe the principle of operation and the key components of an LPD display; i.e., laser engine, phosphor panel, system control and processing. We discuss the unique features of the technology which results in a display that has (1) very low power consumption, and (2) a modular, bezel-free form-factor that allows individual tiles to be configured into large, virtually seamless video walls.
