--- Quote from: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Prysm-s-LPD-Claims-Superiority-Among-Display-Technologies-131896.shtml ---Although it has so far flown unde the radar, Prysm has come out with a new type of display technology that seems to promise more than LCDs can currently offer. The company has proudly trumpeted the LPD, a new kind of display that boasts a free form and a much reduced power consumption compared with that of other display solutions. LPD images are created by using a laser engine to excite a phosphor screen.

"Prysm's technology addresses the key segment of large-area displays with the promise of low power operation and scalability," Paul Semenza, senior vice-president at DisplaySearch, the leading display market research firm, said. "This type of technology could open up new markets in consumer and professional applications."

LPD stands for Laser Phosphor Display and is a new category of large-format displays with a power consumption 75% lower than that of other technologies. The LPDs are also made up of non-toxic materials and are manufactured through a low-impact process, which also implies the lowest cost of ownership and carbon footprint of any large format display.

"We have spent the last 4 years developing a truly disruptive technology with a team of the best technologists in the industry" Amit Jain, CEO of Prysm, Inc., added. "LPD is generating excitement from prospective customers around the world. Although we knew that image quality would appeal to customers everywhere, we have also found that the LPD energy efficiency to be very important in every geographic market. Prysm provides regulators a proof point that one can make energy efficient displays without compromising quality or cost."

Eco-friendliness, however, is far from being the only advantage of this new technology. LPDs also feature a high brightness, contrast and natural color content with zero motion blur. Not only that, but the displays are even able to take any shape, size and resolution. In addition, the LPDs are designed with a self-calibrating architecture and long-life semiconductor lasers. This not only delivers a uniform image quality, but also enables a long product lifespan.

Unfortunately, the vagueness of the press release is all that has been offered. There is no clear indication of the actual costs and eventual product prices. Information may be found on http://prysm.com/.

If it is what they claim it is, then it sounds fucking awesome.


Info from Prysm:









Edit: added some stuff.

Mikan:
They need better server's...site took 10min to load. anyways, it sounds promising. though i do wonder about the "able to take any size & shape" ordeal, if that means vertical & horizontal or just a array of different screen size's

NaRu:
It does sound promising but the main question that most consumers would be the price. This was the main problem with Plasma which is why they are dieing.

mgz:
... plasmas cost alot on initial release just like LCDs.


Plasmas big downfall was image burn which wasnt a public fact or warning when the technology was unveiled. So people had ruined tvs and lots of complaints before LCDs became really popular even tho the picture and color reproduction was better its image burn, slightly higher power consumption and noticeably warmer screen temp all helped lead to the large downfall of plasma screens.

Now plasmas are great tvs for piss cheap. and as long as you dont plan to leave it at 1 image for prolonged periods of time its not a real issue.

Carnivus:
Doesn't it seem that tech is getting so much better in so little time?
I mean,5 years ago we had DVDs and SDTVs and no one was complaining.Then,this LCDs and plasmas come out,alongisde with HD,which I love,+bluray discs.Now,we have the ultra slim LCDs,and 3D HD is rocking out,only to be shocked by this Prysm thing.I love the idea,but,isn't it coming too soon?Most of us got our LCDs/Plasmas for 1/2 years.
Wait,did I just read about...something that will create holograms?
