The company says that the new display requires just half the power compared to the company’s current color displays of the same brightness,. It is fully compatible with eMagin’s entire VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and WUXGA product line.

The company's display technology enables optical solutions for head-mounted display applications requiring full color including: augmented vision/reality products used in simulation & training devices, and medical, maintenance and process-control ‘see-through’ data glasses and safety goggles.

eMagin will be demonstrating the Color OLED-XLS for the first time at next week’s Society for Information Display being held at the Vancouver Convention Center. Engineering samples are available immediately with fully qualified production units expected by the fourth quarter 2013.

“Our clients have been asking us to push the known limits in order to create more versatile color microdisplays that are both visible in bright environments and power efficient. We have met and surpassed both requirements with the development of the Color OLED-XLS,” said Andrew G. Sculley, president and CEO of eMagin Corporation. “This technology will enable indoor and outdoor augmented reality headsets for commercial, military and industrial use. We are well on the way to OLED microdisplays that can be even brighter for aircraft heads-up displays and consumer data glasses.”

The new display, which measures approximately 30 feet high by 48 feet wide, features a 15 millimeter pixel layout. It incorporates excellent image clarity and contrast, multiple levels of protection from the elements and a robust cabinet design.

The display can show one large image to highlight live video and instant replays, and can also be divided into separate windows to show a variety of vivid graphics, colorful animations, up-to-the-minute statistics, scoring information and sponsor advertisements, all with what the company describes as outstanding brightness and wide-angle visibility.

Daktronics DakStats® software is included with the installation for managing game, season and career statistics. It delivers and tracks statistics and provides in-depth statistical reports for all levels of play, from high school to professional. Daktronics’ contends that its national statistical leader board is a valuable product that no other company offers.

“The City of Cedar Rapids and the Cedar Rapids Kernels have been a long-time partner of Daktronics and we are excited about the opportunity to continue our partnership with this new display installation,” said Matt Warnke, Daktronics sales representative. “The new 15HD display provides an even greater fan experience for fans of the Kernels and Veterans Memorial Stadium.”

Daktronics boasts that its LED video and messaging display technology offers a long lifetime with minimal maintenance and low power consumption, providing value and excitement for years to come.

Adaptive forward lighting, which is glare-free camera-controlled headlamps that react instantly, will help drivers even more in the future thanks to additional intelligent functions. This functionality requires the integration of microelectronics and optoelectronics. Osram is contributing its expertise as the project coordinator and market leader in LED lighting for the automotive sector.

This framework can provide the basis for adaptive forward lighting systems (AFS) that will offer drivers and passengers increased safety. The design of adaptive lighting will come for example from glare-free high-beam, and low-beam that adapts to the speed of the vehicle. At high speed the range of the light is automatically increased. In city traffic, a wider distribution of the light can help illuminate more of the sidewalk and margins. These functions will be fully electronic so there is no need for mechanical actuators.

Osram’s Specialty Lighting division will be developing new electronic control gear for controlling the LED headlamp system. The Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) is contributing its expertise in interconnection technology and materials, and Infineon Technologies is offering its experience in automotive electronics and LED drivers. The automotive industry supplier and lighting specialist HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co. will develop the entire optical system for the LED module and the headlamps, and will build prototypes. Daimler, an engineering company in the automotive sector, will carry out the vehicle tests.

Project coordinator Stefan Grötsch is responsible for LED applications in automotive lighting at Osram Opto Semiconductors. Grötsch said, “We have brought together major-league players in their respective sectors, assembling a wealth of expertise for this pioneering project around one table.” The project is being sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (FMER) under reference number 13N12510 and is scheduled to run from February 1, 2013 to January 31, 2016.

The company says that the LEDLB-24E-UV-365NM can effectively cure objects as its 400 watt metal halide counterpart, without producing heat and while using third of the amp draw. These light bars operate on low voltage direct current and can utilize voltages ranging from 9 to 48VDC without the need for a transformer, making them ideal for use with vehicles and automotive batteries that commonly provide 12 or 24 volt DC power. This can enable cordless paint curing systems.

Alternatively, Larson Electronics provides AC to DC transformers, enabling operators to power this light from any 120-277V AC power source. The housings are constructed of extruded aluminum, and an unbreakable polycarbonate lens gives these light bars unparalleled durability and the strength to withstand rugged use that would destroy typical gas burning lamps. These ultraviolet lights have a 50,000 hour operational life.

"The LEDLB-24E-UV-365NM ultraviolet LED curing light is a direct replacement for traditional 400 watt UV curing lamps,” said Robert Bresnahan of Larson Electronics’ Magnalight.com. “This UV light can be used with vehicle body repair, tank coatings, aerospace, powder coating, and any applications that utilize ultraviolet curable products. The beauty of this compact ultraviolet emitted is it produces no heat, resulting in longer exposure times without risking overheating from the lamps. Combined with a 50,000 hour life span and no warm-up times, this ultraviolet LED light is a must have for all curing applications.”

“We are really excited about the scoreboards and audio system at Huskie Stadium," said NIU Head Coach Rod Carey. "We already have one of the best home crowds in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and a 21-game winning streak on Brigham Field, so I'm happy we're able to make these improvements to make game day even better for our fans.”

The new display, which measures 15.5 feet high and 39.5 feet wide, effectively doubles the width of the previous display. It features a 15HD pixel layout that Daktronics says will combine better image clarity and contrast with multiple display programming options. Examples of the display programming options include: showing one large image to highlight live video and replays, sectioning the display into multiple windows to show a variety of animations and graphics, showcasing up-to-the-minute statistics, or showing scoring information, sponsor messages, and other announcements.

“Daktronics has been really supportive to NIU over the past ten seasons as well as assisting us with the new video displays and sound system,” said Patrick Gorman, director/producer at Northern Illinois University media services. “The new video display system will significantly upgrade the fan experience at NIU Football games providing more vibrant, detailed video and graphics on the displays.”

Additionally, a new ribbon display featuring 20 millimeter line spacing will stretch 100 feet along the east and west sides of the grandstands between the 35-yard-lines. These displays will showcase sponsors throughout events and display other game-day information, statistics, and graphics.

“The most visible change will be the LED ribbon boards on the east and west fascia. They will have an immediate impact providing more avenues to advertise, improving statistics and game information, as well as a great way to engage with our fans with prompts adding to the aura of college football,” added Gorman.

Daktronics will also install a custom audio system, which will be integrated with the video and scoring system. The audio system will provide full-range sound reproduction and will offer upgraded quality to the east and west grandstands.

Along with the installation, Daktronics Creative Services will provide creative content tailored to the university including: animations, crowd prompts, and sponsor messages. These will be delivered prior to the start of the season to help the Huskies pump up their fans with the newly installed displays.

“We have been really pleased with the services and attention that Daktronics has provided NIU in the past and really look forward to continuing this relationship in the future,” Gorman said.

“We’re proud to be able to continue our strong relationship with NIU, and we look forward to seeing these upgrades in action on game day,” said Joey Hulsebus, Daktronics sales representative.

Daktronics says its LED video and messaging display technology offers a long lifetime with minimal maintenance and low power consumption.

The screens are designed for premier organizations and locations that can accept only the highest image quality at the closest viewing distances. The Daktronics technology employs the 3-in-1 SMD (surface-mount device) LED to what Daktronics says is exceptional brightness, unsurpassed viewing angles and incredible picture detail.

South Station, which is located in the heart of Boston's major business district, serves as the major downtown commuter rail station. It is a hub for Boston's primary public transportation system, the MBTA and a main stop for Amtrak's Northeast Corridor Service. The nearly 4 million monthly visitors will also enjoy high-quality audio harmonized with the hanging LED video displays from focused directional speakers.

A rectangular screen made up of semi-transparent Pixled F-12 was specified upstage because the LED starcloth at the back would be visible through it during certain songs. Normandale was also one of the first designers to use the F-12 when it was launched last year – on Coldplay’s world tour. The fronts of the three band risers were clad with Pixled FX-11 because dimensions were the nearest match to the depth of the riser fronts. Two Barco HD20K projectors were used as an effects lightsource in dramatic full over-stage projections.

All the LED displays were fed by two Green Hippo Hippotizer media servers, programmed and run for the day by Ben Miles using a grandMA2 light console which was specified by Normandale.

XL also supplied four Bradley Cam-Ball 2 robo-cams used for the often heavily effected IMAG. These robo-cams were positioned upstage and downstage left and right so they could catch a wide selection of shots including some impressive reverses of the audience.

Additionally, a couple of mini-cams were placed around the stage. The cameras were operated and cut by XL’s Dave Rogers using an AVS-HS400 mixer / switcher, and one TX feed from that was sent to the Hippotizer to be sized, masked affected as necessary … and then output to screen by Miles.

Jeanne, Rogers and Miles, were joined on the day of the show by XL LED Technicians Matt Doughty and Matt Gourd. Surprisingly they managed to set up and program in time for doors opening on the same day, despite not having seen the show previously! The fantastic looking show looked so polished that most thought it had been out for some weeks on tour!

Fraser Elisha was the lighting director, Lite Alternative supplied the lighting equipment and SSE the audio kit.
