A bit more information on the E&S 8k Laser Projector is coming out. At the 2009 Conference on Lasers & Electroc-Optics/International Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/IQEC), (say that five times fast) later this week, they’ll be talking about the powerful fiber lasers behind the projector. Unlike traditional projectors that use a light source behind an 2D LCD display, this projector uses a single 4K tall line of pixels powered by a laser, which can be quickly swept left-to-right to generate an 8k wide display.
World’s Highest-Resolution Projector, more information at CampusTechnology.
I know of a health professor that would love to have one of these. He is big into new technology. Recently we were talking about the new lecture capture technology that allows students to view the lectures later. It makes me glad that I’m living in such advancing times.
