Abstract: The application of recently available, energy-efficient, short-wavelength, visible-laser, light-generating sources in combination with efficient utilization of multi-colored inorganic phosphors permit the creation of a very new & reliable image-rendering system. This permits a very efficient bezel-less, high-gamut, fast frame-rate, stackable display for digital signage applications to large stadium-sized video walls. In this talk we will review the overall architecture and selected components that comprise the Prysm Laser Phosphor Display (LPD). Using less than half the electricity of today’s equivalently sized displays at the same brightness level, we will explain the limitations of current displays and the technology behind the new display, including components related to light dispersion, emission and light efficiency. We will also present our findings of specification advantages of the LPD. At the end of the presentation a production model will be demonstrated
Background: Dr. Hajjar has registered more than 30 U.S. and worldwide patents, and in addition, has a proven record of success in taking a product from inception to high-volume, turn-key manufacturing. Prior to Prysm, Inc, Dr. Hajjar served as Vice President of Transmission Subsystems Development with Avanex Corporation, upon Avanex's acquisition of the Optical Systems Division of Vitesse Semiconductor. He was Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Versatile Optical Networks prior to its acquisition by Vitesse. Dr. Hajjar has held management positions with TeraStor Corporation and the Eastman Kodak Company. He was a Research Associate at the Optical Data Storage Systems Center at the University of Arizona, a consultant with IBM Storage Systems Products Division, and a visiting Research Scientist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. Roger holds PhD and M.S. degrees in Optical Sciences from University of Arizona and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Boston University.
