A: LPD is a new category of large format displays, with the lowest power consumption and environmental impact along with freeform flexibility, long-lasting performance and brilliant picture quality.

A: LPD uses lasers to excite phosphors which in turn create brilliant high resolution pictures. As the lasers scan across the surface the phosphors emit in the red, green and blue colors with very rapid response. The lasers modulate by turning on and off for each pixel to create an image. This method results in substantial power efficiency and extended lifetime. This benefit contrasts with conventional displays that must filter or modulate a backlight that remains on constantly.

A: The benefits LPD brings to display applications lie in four major areas: Ecovation in operation and manufacture; Long-Lasting, low-maintenance operation; Freeform design and flexibility and Brilliant image performance. LPD consumes the least power of any large display type and its manufacture requires minimal environmental footprint and resources. In addition, the LPD is self-calibrating and adjusts individual characteristics to ensure overall uniformity over the life of the display. The Freeform capability offers endless design freedom with seamless displays of any size and shape. Finally, LPD technology breaks free of the performance limitations of conventional displays by offering high resolution, superb image quality, high brightness and the widest viewing angles at the lowest cost of ownership.

A: No, LPD consumes up to 75 percent less power than other display technologies. Prysm's LPDs are made with low impact manufacturing processes and non-toxic materials. This translates into the lowest cost of ownership and lowest carbon footprint of any large format display.

A: LPD displays are efficiently assembled from mass-produced components. The production of LPD does not require large fabrication plants, or energy / water resources. LPD systems have a much smaller environmental footprint than those associated with other display technologies. Overall, the lifecycle carbon footprint for LPD displays is 80% lower than other display technologies.

A: All LPD display products are Class I laser safe and so are safe in all conditions of normal use. Like other products that use lasers like DVD players, the enclosure contains interlocks to prevent operation of the system if the enclosure is compromised.
