New Technology Improves Light Efficiency in Liquid Crystal Projectors

ImagineOptix and North Carolina State University researchers have jointly developed a new technology, though which unpolarized light can be transformed into polarized light. This will promote energy efficiency by two-fold to liquid crystal (LC) technology-based projectors. This new technology contributes to the creation of compact, efficient, affordable projectors with reduced levels of heat and extended battery life.
