Wavien, Inc. Demonstrates a 1,000-Lumen LED-Based Miniature Graphic Projector

VALENCIA, Calif., Aug. 23, 2010 — Wavien, Inc. is demonstrating the latest advance in LED lighting using Wavien's proprietary LED Recycling Technology with miniature graphic projector, which produces over 1,000 lumens for indoor and outdoor applications.

Wavien's 1,000-lumen miniature graphic projector system utilizes a 50 W single white LED from Luminus. The system projects graphic images with diameters up to 25 mm using consumer camera lenses for ease of operation. Additionally, the use of these standard camera lenses lower the overall cost of the system, which allows high resolution images to be projected at the target. The low-power consumption of the LED-based projector allows simple battery operations and makes applications in hard-to-reach locations possible.

"Wavien's LED light recycling technology offers outstanding brightness by recovering and recycling high angle light from the LED that is normally wasted with traditional LED coupling systems," stated Dr. Kenneth Li, President and CEO of Wavien, Inc., who is also the inventor of the recycling technology. Dr. Li added: "This unique design enables LED-based products to have increased total brightness by over 80%." This performance improvement is provided by adding a simple reflector with an aperture to standard LED packages. The diameter of the opening, which determines the amount of recycling, and the total size of the reflector can be scaled to meet the user's needs. The Wavien demonstration uses a single white LED chip from Luminus running at 50W housed into a small modular package. Together with interchangeable lenses, this graphic projector will be versatile for use in a wide array of applications. "Clearly, locations that were previously not able to have graphics projected, can now be served by Wavien's low-power, high-output, and ultra narrow beam graphic projectors," stated Dr. Li.

Wavien has made evaluation sample graphic projectors available for purchase by potential licensees of the RLT(TM) technology. Please contact Harry Farrar for further details.
