LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments
(TI) (NYSE: TXN) DLP® Products makes viewing quality, High
Definition (HD) projection in 3D at home a reality with the
announcement of multiple brands shipping 1080p 3D projectors. 3D
1080p from DLP provides consumers the ability to be immersed in
film-quality images for everything from movies to gaming to sports,
all powered by the dynamic DLP chip structure. Brands including
Samsung and Sharp are showcasing the current 1080p 3D systems,
which are now available for purchase, at the Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) this week.
The 1080p format provides viewers with a quality, HD picture
that is characterized by crisp images and cleaner, sharper detail
than traditional set-ups, adding to the consumer viewing
experience. Additionally, these newest models from Samsung and
Sharp have been designed to handle all of the latest 3D formats,
including Blu-ray, to provide consumers with greater flexibility
when connecting with 3D content.
"3D displays from DLP continue to offer superior color quality
and reliability, which is why consumers continue to choose our
projection solutions, from cinema houses to neighborhood homes and
everything in between," said Roger
Carver, Manager, DLP Front Projection. "The innovation of
the DLP chip design is what makes DLP the only one able to produce
3D in a single projector solution, and the reason consumers will
continue to see innovations from us and our customers."
1080p from DLP brings bold contrast ratios, inky black levels,
vibrant color and placement flexibility, all with the filter-free,
consistent color, and unique mirrored chip design that has made DLP
famous. One new application of this technology can be seen in the
Mitsubishi 92" DLP HDTV being shown at CES this year. From this
television, which is nearly 1/30 the size of a cinema screen, to
devices that fit in the palm of your hand, to projectors that power
IMAX®, DLP continues to innovate and deliver the best in projection
technology.
Last year, "Avatar" started the tidal wave of 3D viewing
experiences that has since spilled into the classroom. Utilizing
the same Academy Award-winning DLP projector technology for cinema
productions, the company has extended its leadership in 3D cinema
technology to projectors for schools as well. School districts
across the U.S. and beyond are incorporating 3D learning into
lessons, providing an engaging learning environment for teachers
and students. The ability of DLP technology to provide both 2D and
3D images in a single projector offer enormous cost savings and
opportunities to schools.
DLP technology's ability to fill large screens while still
maintaining contrast ratios, brightness, and color quality,
combined with the immersive experience that 3D provides, are
reasons that now more than 400 3D-Ready projectors from 30
different DLP Products' manufacturers are available on the
worldwide market. Adding further fodder to the prevalence of 3D
adoption, Pacific Media Associates (PMA) notes the worldwide front
projector market for 3D-enabled models will grow from about 1.0
million during 2010 to nearly 5.4 million in 2014 (via PMA,
