San Jose, California, USA – August 30, 2006
Foreal Spectrum, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of optical
coatings, optics, and optoelectronic modules used in the projection display,
biomedical, LED, and laser industries today announced the introduction of a
new line of high brightness LED light modules and engines.

Foreal’s new, fully customizable LED light modules and engines provide
maximum brightness for the small emitting areas required for Rear
Projection TV (RPTV), pocket projectors, along with semiconductor and
biomedical instrumentation.  These are designed as open source retro-fits
for existing illumination modules in microdisplay engines.  RPTVs with 300+
lumens on the screen have been achieved using both DLP and LCOS chips.  
Beam size and shape, F#, and etendue are tailored to the customers needs.  
Benefits compared to illumination modules using arc lamps include
enhanced color gamut and uniformity, reduced production and maintenance
costs, compact size, and reduced weight.  LEDs also feature instant on/off,
minimal heat, longer lifetime, and safety.

Dr. Anmin Zheng, Co-Founder and CEO, said “Our patent-pending designs
have removed many design constraints by leveraging our thin film coating
capabilities.  Foreal also successfully addresses fundamental LED
problems such as extraction efficiency, collection efficiency, electronic control,
and heat management.  Zheng continued “We provide everything under one
roof, from the overall design to all of the individual elements and integrate
them transparently for the end users application.  Individual elements include
coating, optics, electronics, thermal, mechanical, and packaging.”

“High brightness and significantly improved color characteristics are attained
using commercially available red, green, and blue LEDs” said Chief Scientist
Richard Li.  “Our integrated LED illumination engines are driven at low power
levels for even longer lifetimes and can be individually adjusted.”

“Our user-friendly, high performance LED ‘lamp-to-lens’ solutions replace
unwieldy and expensive arc lamp-based systems” stated Dan Cifelli, VP of
Sales & Marketing. “Foreal’s vertically integrated structure provides
customers with a single supplier reducing development time and production
costs.  This translates into straightforward integration and packaging that is
specifically tailored to an OEM’s situation.”
