Laser light sources for projectors have their pros and cons. The same is true for LED. The MP1 Max from Dangbei teams them up for the promise of "stunning color accuracy, and enhanced viewing comfort.

Expensive projector lamp replacement may be obsolete if the European Union has its way and bans mercury used in traditional UHP (ultra-high pressure) arc lamps. Increasingly LED (light emitting diode) ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a technique that allows them to engineer a class of materials called layered hybrid perovskites (LHPs) down to the atomic level, which dictates precisely ...

Researchers’ new method that delivers more control over halide perovskites could transform how solar cells, LEDs and lasers are made. Perovskites have long been touted as a potential replacement for ...

LEDs no wider than a human hair could soon take on work traditionally handled by lasers, from moving data inside server racks to powering next-generation displays. New research co-authored by UC Santa ...

What is a micro-light source? A “Micro-light source” is a light source with a side measuring less than 100 microns (1/10th of a millimeter). Examples include short-cavity lasers and micro-LEDs.

Audi was the first to show laser headlamps, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 2014, and took it to production with the R8 LMX - just a week after BMW released its own laser-light i8.

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams reflect on the fact that, as humans, we have–at most–two eyes and no warp drives. While hacking might not be the world’s most dangerous hobby, you do ...

Hair-thin microLEDs could replace lasers for short-range data links and next-gen displays, with new research showing major gains in efficiency, brightness and beam control. (Nanowerk News) LEDs no ...
