Royal Philips Electronics (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG) announces that it has started mass production of the 3rd Generation UHP™ (“3G UHP”) lamp system, a newgeneration of UHP™ lamp systems for both Business and Consumer Front Projectors. The novelty of this 3G UHP lamp system concerns its fitness for next generation small sized micro displays. Key features like the smaller arc (0.8 mm) and an innovative “Intelligent Drive Scheme” (IDS) enable projector manufacturers to maintain brightness while saving cost by applying smaller 3LCD, LCoS or DLP display panels.
The first shipment of Front Projector sets with the 3G UHP lamp systems inside is expected to roll out in March 2009.
Philips intends to have the new product platform prepared for a wide power range upgrading the existing lamp systems to “3G” over time. As the global market leader of Digital Projection lighting solution provider, Philips continues to create innovative solutions for the Digital Projection Market.
UHP™ (Ultra High Performance) is a trademark of Royal Philips Electronics, registered in the Netherlands and/or other countries.
