Samsung taps LED light source for business projector

Jan. 8, 2010
Date Announced: 08 Jan 2010 Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced the launch of the first LED data projector with 1,000 ANSI lumens (max). With no lamp to replace, the F10M has an LED light source that promises a lifespan of up to 30,000+ hours, and significantly reduces the hassle, environmental impact, and total cost of ownership. The LED light source also maintains its brightness over the entire life of the projector, with industry-leading color intensity and range. “At Samsung we pride ourselves on a leadership position in the LED marketplace and that technology is a driving force in the development of this product which offers considerable brightness and color intensity advantages, in addition to reduced environmental impact and total cost of ownership,” said Tom Grau, sr. . product marketing manager, projectors at Samsung Electronics’ Information Technology Division. “Utilizing the latest technologies from the world’s best suppliers, coupled with our own R&D, has led to this truly game-changing product.”LED LIGHT SOURCE PROVIDES A RANGE OF ADVANTAGESFrom an environmental standpoint, eliminating the bulb, which contains mercury filaments, dramatically reduces the negative environmental effects associated with their disposal. These disposal costs also contribute to total cost of ownership.The LED also maintains its brightness compared to other projectors that lose up to 50% over the life of the bulb. The greater color intensity and wide color gamut allows for a more flexible projector, which can be used on a blackboard or green board, in addition to white boards and screens, thereby opening it up to the education and government marketplaces. The reduced decibel level and power-up time provided by the LED light source also add to the appeal of the F10M.DESIGN INNOVATIONS UNIQUE TO SAMSUNGSamsung continues to craft innovative products designed to perform at the highest levels, and the projector line is no exception. The F10M comes equipped with PC-free File Viewer, which allows presenters to work directly from a USB memory stick on Microsoft® Office and Adobe® PDF documents in their native file format.Closed captioning and digital focus features add to the versatility.The F10M will be available through Samsung reseller channels in the second quarter 2010 with pricing TBD.
