Pixtronix Brings Ultra-Low Power Consumption and Exceptional Image Quality to Flat Panel Displays
Demonstrates PerfectLight, the Industry's First Digital Display for Multimedia Applications
Andover Mass., October 27 2008 — Pixtronix, Inc., a private venture-backed developer of innovative multimedia display technologies, today introduced the PerfectLight™ Display, the industry's first flat panel display to deliver both ultra-low power consumption and exceptional image quality. With PerfectLight, Pixtronix realizes a 75% power reduction over traditional LCD displays, while reaching new heights in color gamut, color depth and view angle.
PerfectLight™ - The Perfect Display for Today's Multimedia Lifestyle
As rich multimedia applications become mainstream, consumers are spending more time than ever using their mobile devices for email, navigation and video. This multimedia lifestyle has dramatic implications for manufacturers of electronic devices, who require larger, brighter displays with better image quality and reduced power consumption. While traditional display technologies are unable to meet these requirements, the PerfectLight Display gives the best multimedia experience possible, while providing device manufacturers with the most power efficient display in the industry.
"As consumers do more with mobile multimedia, they're demanding better image quality displays that don't drain the battery dry," said Tony Zona, CEO of Pixtronix. "Until now, high quality multimedia has come at the expense of excessive power consumption; Pixtronix changes that with the introduction of the PerfectLight Display."
