Philips is demonstrating its new ColorSpark HLD light-source technology for projectors at the ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) 2016 show that opens in Amsterdam tomorrow.

Introduced at last year’s InfoComm 2015, the technology is said to produce sharp images with vivid color that are three times brighter images than existing LED projectors. Designed for “big screens [up to 100 inches] in any environment,” the technology will be demonstrated in projectors from Hitachi and Optoma.

ColorSpark HLD works by concentrating LED light into a very small area, thus “boosting the projector’s light source by several factors,” according to Philips. A press release further explained: “The HLD rod present in this new breakthrough innovation is set to transform the use of LEDs in projection, creating a new light source that converts and focuses LED light to match the latest in projector imaging technology. The new technology is three times brighter than existing LED projectors because of the unique way blue LEDs are converted into green. This enables a larger and wider color gamut that delivers the purest color components for green combined with red and blue.”
