Overview

Optoelectronics combines optics together with electronics for emitting, modulating, transmitting, and sensing light signals in the consumer electronics industry.

Arasor's focus is to enable the optoelectronic solutions that drive laser-based displays for use in flat screen televisions and digital projectors. Arasor's optical chip-set is used in combination with the laser chip sets of wholly owned subsidiary, Necsel Corp. (www.necsel.com) to generate the primary colors of red, green and blue, and create the laser light source

The compactness and efficiency of the laser source will play a pivotal role in the emerging pocket projection market, and will further expand the information revolution by enabling the "pico" or hand-held personal projection display.

Laser based displays offer significant benefits over traditional light bulb driven displays, the most striking of which is an increased visible color gamut which creates images with richer reds, blues and greens than existing television or lamp projector displays can offer.

Laser display TVs offer significant advantages over Plasma and LCD TVs including:
  • Expanded color range: 200% of NTSC/HDTV
  • Brighter & more vibrant color (Instant on/off, No burn-in)
  • Easy to scale up in screen size
  • Half the manufacture price of same size plasma
  • Significantly longer life and decreased need for power.

In a Necsel-based DLP system, the light engine is a combination of a red, a green, and a blue laser that projects high-power light directly onto the microdisplay. Necsel technology eliminates the need for a color wheel, light tunnel, UV and IR filters, and relay optics.

The optical and laser chips sets effectively replace multiple layers of inefficient lamps and hardware.


Importantly, via the recently announced joint venture with ZTE International, Arasor has established the infrastructure to commercialize a wide range of laser based display applications including televisions, projectors and cellular phone applications.

Arasor and ZTEI have also secured the strategic support of the China Development Bank to provide large scale financing for the joint venture up to USD$300million. In addition, the Arasor/ZTEI joint venture will give Arasor higher visibility and control over the direction of the laser display value chain and the evolution of the industry.
