Default Luxeons and TFT monitors

For those that don't know it, Luxeons are working their way into LCD monitors, the first is a project by NEC/Mitsubishi/LumiLEDs, there is a large increase in color gamut, reaching 105% of the NTSC coverage, which is quite a bit better than regular LCDs.

These are intended for high end professional markets, such as printers who need to color match, where regular monitors and LCDs fall short.











Here is the actual monitor:


The camera cannot come close to capturing the vividness and greater color gamut. It was *quite* noticeable in person.

Also seen were 42" LCDs made by LG Philips (woohoo!!!) They sat on a wall, maybe 3" thick at most.

Also of note, a nice front projection screen:


"But the results were impressive. A variety of experienced journalists, analysts, and old display hands commented that the availability of a screen such as this could make front projection a serious alternative for consumer television."

You could see it in regular lighting, just fine. More details here:

This was right in my area - just a few blocks away - wonder why I didn't hear about it until now.

I don't know why you didn't hear about it. There were thousands and thousands of geeky looking engineers from all over the world walking around with lanyard badges.

It was nice, there were hundreds of papers presented, and they filled four exhibt halls (B, C, D, E) with exhibits from several hundred companies. Plus they filled all the meeting rooms and stuff upstairs.

I saw a number of people wearing those badges around that time - I figured they were jurors or something. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I was at the SID as well. I have seen the backlight demo at LL - quite impressive. Makes an ordinary LCD TV look like a plasma TV. It is hard to explain to someone just how good these look.

How do they get even controlled white color from RGB luxeons? I mean do they all go through a specific strict binning process so all the say, greens are the same wavelength?

If all R,G,B were of equal wavelengths then all you have to do is calibrate each monitor to make the correct white...

Why do they use 2x the green? Shouldn't blue be the weakest, or is it because humans notice more green shades than anything?

Did you read this thread? It answers your qestion about the green. I've given up with Lumiled becasue of their incredible attitude towards binning.

About the only use they are to an OEM is if you're only using one device per product. Once you put several together, especially if they're used to colour mix, then the inability to order specific bins makes them useless.
