NECSEL™ SOLID-STATE LIGHTING ADVANTAGES
Necsel-based solid-state light sources provide unmatched benefits over competing technologies. Our sources are:
BRIGHT
What if you had 1,000 lumens available for your RPTV lasertv? Necsel sources do just that. They provide more nits and lower screen gains—the result is a brighter picture than ever before no matter what the viewing angle.
COLORFUL
Necsel sources project saturated RGB primaries directly onto the microdisplay, resulting in a bright, colorful, true-to-life pictures. And since Necsel devices are wavelength tunable, future plans for multi-primary products beyond RGB are well within reach.


Highly saturated primaries allow greater color space than can be reached by UHP lamps or LEDs. This means an image unmatched in its lifelike color.
RELIABLE
The solid-state nature of our technology means it’s inherently more reliable than legacy UHP lamps. Necsel sources are cooler, more durable and easier to handle. And rather than consider our light source “failed” when it falls to 50% of its original light output (the standard for UHP lamps and LEDs), our devices provide over 20,000 hours at 100% power output.
AFFORDABLE
Our platform reduces light engine cost on several levels:
- Necsel light sources are more affordable than current pricing of UHP lamps.
- Our sources enable simpler, smaller, less costly light engines. With DLP™ systems, our technology eliminates the need for a color wheel, light tunnel and relay optics. For 3LCD engines, we eliminate the polarizers, color filters, turning mirrors and fly eye lenses.
- They enable less costly microdisplay panels. Our sources project all of their light onto even the smallest microdisplays without a reduction in coupling efficiency. Reducing microdisplay size reduces their cost.
- Our low étendue sources emit at narrow angles, allowing simpler, more affordable projection optics.
