The biggest change in the projector industry is the change in the light source. After several years of development, laser pointer light sources have finally ushered in an explosion. From the engineering market to the household market, laser light sources have appeared in almost all categories. Obviously it is the year when the laser light source has matured. The main signs are as follows: The first is the increase in new products. Almost all projector brands have introduced laser light source projectors, especially in the engineering market, laser light source projection The machine has become a must for brands. From the American brand Christie to the Japanese brand Epson, to Taiwan’s BenQ and the mainland’s Guangfeng Optoelectronics, new laser projectors are blooming everywhere, and it is no longer a brand alone. In addition, new brands such as this have been added.
The second is that the technology is mature, and the classification of laser light sources has emerged, from monochromatic blue lasers with fluorescent pink wheels, to two-color lasers and RGB lasers, which currently have their own application markets. This technical classification has also greatly changed the cost of laser light sources and expanded the market for laser light source applications;
The advantages and disadvantages of Laser Engraver light and shadow. The third is that the price of the office light source has dropped greatly. At present, the price of the 1080P 3000 lumens laser home projector launched by Optoma is 11999 yuan. After entering 2017, I believe that the price of laser light source projectors can be further reduced. If the resolution is lower, I believe it can achieve a price of less than 10,000 yuan, so that it will be easier to enter the education and business markets.
The above three points have shown that the development of laser light sources has entered the fast lane. The main development channel for laser light sources in 2017 is to reduce prices to compete for a larger market. The laser light source not only makes the life of the projector longer, but at the same time, due to the characteristics of the laser light source, this technology also makes the projector application market larger. In the past, there were many occasions where the projector could not be used. After the laser light source is available, laser projectors can be considered. So what about the changes in other light sources?
Many people are familiar with LED light sources. At present, micro projectors use this kind of light source, but its brightness is always short. However, Philips has introduced HLD technology, which is a high-brightness LED light source. Can this technology challenge the green laser pointer light source?
HLD is the abbreviation of High Lumen Density, a new light source technology of Philips. The HLD light source can improve the luminous efficiency of green, so the overall brightness is improved, but the volume of the corresponding HLD light source has also become very large, and it no longer has the advantage of portability. Judging from the X12000 released by BenQ, the volume of the HLD light source is indeed not small, so it can be said that Philips has not completely solved this problem in terms of the luminous efficiency of the green LED.
