The Corporate Vision

The Corporate Vision
Projectavision was founded in 1989 to capitalize on its own patented
Depixelization technology, which dramatically improves the quality of
projected TV images. Subsequent research and development by the company
resulted in additional technical, optical and design patents.
These patents, along with strategic partnerships with other consumer
electronic companies, such as Texas Instruments, have placed Projectavision
in a position to take
advantage of both the growing demand for large screen home theater and the
inevitable blending of entertainment, computer and interactive media
displays.
Additionally, the company's ability to distinguish and acquire unique
technology, its ability to access capital resources, and its experienced
management team position it to achieve its corporate vision: To be a
significant part of the future information, display, entertainment and
telecommunications markets worldwide.
The Versatile Projectavision Digital Home Theater
TM with DLPTM
The Digital Home TheaterTM,
Projectavision's unique home theater projection
television, features proprietary technologies from Projectavision and
Texas Instruments. These technologies include Projectavision's patented
interchangeable front and rear screen projection system and Texas Instruments'
patented Digital Light ProcessingTM technology.
With Projectavision's front & rear-screen projection system, the consumer can
remove the Digital Home TheaterTM's
portable projector from the rear screen cabinet
and enjoy a front projection system that delivers wall-size images for
television as well as SVGA and VGA computer applications. The
Digital Home TheaterTM projector
is its own television receiver and can process video signals from Digital
Satellite Systems, VCR's,
cable, Laser disc and DVD players, computers and satellite systems. That means
consumers can enjoy portable, theater-sized images in their own home, a
neighbor's house, the office, or school. This degree of flexibility is not
found in current projection TV products. According to an independent market
research group, 9 out of 10 consumers who had purchased or were in the market to
buy a large screen product preferred and would pay a premium for the
flexibility of the Projectavision
Digital Home TheaterTM.
Texas Instruments' Digital Light Processing (DLP) provides the
Digital Home TheaterTM's
superior image. DLP is a fully all-digital video image display process that
combines the qualities of a highly reflective metal with the speed and
efficiency of a semi-conductor device to deliver brighter, sharper, clearer
and noise-free video images that rival photographic images. Designed around
TI's innovative Digital Micro-Mirror Device, 25 years in development, the
revolutionary DLP is the key to improved, high-quality imaging for
entertainment, education, business presentations and the information
superhighway.
Instant Consumer Gratification & Retailer Benefits
The Projectavision Digital Home TheaterTM
can be brought home by the consumer
and assembled in minutes simply by tightening four (4) turn fasteners. This
streamlined delivery and set-up gives the Projectavision
Digital Home TheaterTM
significant advantages over the competition. Consumers receive instant
gratification. Retailers experience increased sales and higher revenue per
unit since they are alleviated of the costly, cumbersome deliveries and
service calls normally associated with large screen projection televisions.
The Digital Home TheaterTM
also offers retailers advantages in terms of reduced
stock room requirements, ease of display, and reduced service requirements.
Super-thin with the heaviest of the three weighing 81 lbs., the
Digital Home TheaterTM will change
the way people think about rear projection TV.
Depixelization
Depixelization, the original driving technology behind Projectavision,
directly addresses the most significant shortcoming of liquid crystal display
(LCD) large screen
projection television systems. These systems suffer from degraded image
quality due to the "screen door effect" in which individual picture elements
or pixels are surrounded by very annoyingly visible black borders.
Projectavision's Depixelization technology enables the light from each pixel
to be expanded so it is contiguous with the light from the neighboring
pixels, yielding a smoother picture. This greatly improved picture quality
dramatically increases the practical market potential of projection television
systems.
The company has entered into non-exclusive licensing agreements for its
Depixelization technology with consumer electronics companies including
Matsushita Electrical Industrial Co., which distributes consumer electronics
products in the U.S. under the Panasonic brand name, and Samsung Electronics.
The company is working with Samsung in the development and design of LCD brand
product using the Projectavision Dixelization Micro-optical Technologies.
In addition, Depixelization is expected to be incorporated in future
Digital Home TheaterTM products.
