 The world's first laser-based 3D HDTV, HDI is fast-tracking production to release in 2010.
Board member Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computers, says, "Without a doubt, the best demonstration of 3D technology I have ever seen."
Their proprietary 100-inch diagonal Laser-Driven 2D/3D Switchable Dynamic Video Projection TVs gets its greater-than-high definition stereoscopic 1920 x 1080p "3D" image quality from two RGB laser-illuminated Liquid Crystal on Silcon (LCOS) micro display imagers. At full 1080p HD, the HDI Ltd. screen refreshes at 360 fields per-second on each eye, supposedly the fastest refresh rate on any mass produced television or projector.
HDI Ltd. displays draw 80% less power than existing 2D plasma displays of the same size, offer a 95% reduction in manufacturing pollution, and a 100% reduction in harmful chemicals and radioactive components currently used in existing televisions.
At 10" thick, HDI's 100-inch diagonal display weighs 75% less than equivalent plasma and LCD displays, and could have a street price only 60 of same-size LCD TVs. Go HDI at Intel's "Future of Television" at IDF 2009 (skip to 2:50 minutes) |

Designed by FROG and made by HTC, Qualcomm launches a handheld TV device under its new FLO brand.
Qualcomm has spent hundreds of millions of dollars building its own U.S.broadcast network (and recruiting content) for its FLO TV. FLO's own TV service will feed the device with up to 20 channels of content (NBC, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central etc.)
Leading US carriers will sell FLO, and Qualcomm signed Audiovox to bring FLO TV into cars. Qualcomm also wants separate attachable Wi-Fi models to FLO TV-enable devices like iPhone.
International growth will also be needed for Qualcomm’s FLO TV chip production to scale. So experts think FLO may be coming our way in Europe in 2010… Go FLO TV device |
