The Need:

Virtually all microdisplay-based projection systems built to date have used an HID lamp such as the UHP as a light source. The use of a HID lamp imposes performance limitations on projectors at both the low- and the high-end of the market. LEDs and laser illumination may be able to expand the market for projection displays -- to both higher performance, lower cost and smaller-sized displays than are possible or practical for HID lamps. There is a need for an evaluation of market segments that compares projection systems based LED and Laser illumination source to conventional HID source in terms of technology, price and performance. Understanding how these factors will change into the future is also a key need.

Report Objective:

The objective of these market segment analysis reports is to supply managers, product planners, engineers and researchers with the information needed to evaluate LED and laser technology in proposed projection displays. The required information needed to make decisions related to these market segments includes performance data, cost information and availability. Each market segment analysis forecasts penetration of LED and Laser-based projection systems from 2005 to 2010.

LED performance is expected to improve dramatically over the next several years, and laser prices are expected to drop. One objective of these reports is to determine when it will likely be feasible to introduce LEDs or lasers into any particular market segment of the projection market, in competition with HID lamps.

Report Coverage:

• Consumer Rear Projection TV: HDTV rear-projection TV systems for consumer applications up to 80” diagonal
• Consumer Front Projection TV: Front projection systems for consumer home theater applications
• Pocket Projectors: Small, low-brightness projectors that can be battery powered
• Integrated Products: Systems where projectors are built into other systems such as cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs or DVD players
• Heads-Up Displays: Heads-up displays for both aviation and automotive applications
• Digital Cinema: Projectors designed to show the main feature in an electronic cinema theater.
• Visualization and Simulation: High performance displays used for military and civilian training applications and other applications requiring performance beyond what is possible with ordinary projectors.

Report Organization:

All seven market segment analyses are organized similarly. Sections of each report cover:

• A description of the current market segment and what technology is currently used in that segment
• Shortcomings of the technologies currently used
• How LEDs and Lasers could be applied to the market segment
• Technical requirements of LEDs and Lasers to serve the market segment
• Advantages LED and Laser technology would have over current technology
• BOM analysis of projectors based on LED, Laser and conventional technology for projectors in the market segment
• Competitive assessment of LED and Laser technology in the market segment, including a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis
• View the complete tables of contents for all market segments

The following graph is a sample figure from the consumer RPTV market segment analysis. The top two lines of data show the expected lumens that can be output from an RPTV projection engine using a 720 or a 1080 DLP chip set. The second two lines if data show the screen size such lumen output would provide conventional brightness and image quality for.

 

Who Should Buy:

• Current manufacturers of systems in the market segment who want to know when LED and Laser technology will threaten their market.
• Developers considering a projection system based on LED or Laser illumination for that market segment.
• Those planning research, development or manufacturing of products utilizing LED or Laser illumination.
• Engineers and researchers involved in LED or Laser projection systems.
• Anyone interested in high-brightness visible-light LEDs or Lasers.

Associated Reports:

These market segment reports are intended primarily as companions to the Laser Projection Systems and LED Projection Systems reports published by Insight Media. Each market segment report draws on data and forecasts contained in the main reports.

A companion HB-LED Supplier Matrix is an Excel spreadsheet listing 173 companies located throughout the world that are involved in some aspect of LEDs manufacture or packaging. This matrix gives a brief description of the company involvement in HB-LEDs plus contact information.

It is expected that additional market segments for LED and Laser projection will be evaluated in the future.

Deliverable:

The report is delivered as a PDF file under a site license agreement. Each selected market segment analysis a separate PDF file. On-site presentations and discussions of the data in these reports are also available.

Pricing:

The price of the Laser Projection Systems and LED Projection Systems reports includes three Market Segment Analyses. For pricing purposes, the HB-LED Supplier Matrix is considered as one Market Segment Analysis.

Market Segment Analyses, beyond the three included with the report, are priced at $1000 each, when purchased with the LED Projection Report.

The Laser Projection Report, LED Supplier Matrix, all seven market segment analyses, plus the LED supplier matrix are available as a bundle for $10,000.
