SANTA CLARA, USA: OSTAR-Projection LED modules from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Inc. are backlighting a new ultra-wide curved display from Ostendo Technologies Inc.

Ostendo CRVD curved display measures 42.4” diagonalThe Ostendo CRVD curved display measures 42.4" diagonal and provides a 2880x900 pixel resolution (double WXGA+). The ultimate immersive desktop display, the CRVD wraps around the viewer while serving up billions of colors, >300 nits brightness, and a contrast ratio of >10,000:1. It is ideal for applications such as simulation, gaming, financial analysis, digital imaging, web-content creation or any desktop computing application that benefits from significant amounts of seamless real estate.

Backlighting the DLP-based CRVD curved screen are OSRAM’s OSTAR-Projection high-performance LED light sources. The compact OSTAR-Projection modules consist of six RGB LED chips that generate exceptional brilliance and vibrant colors with pure surface emission and extreme brightness, thanks to OSRAM’s Thinfilm and ThinGaN chip architecture.

“It’s an incredible display,” said Tom Shottes, president and CEO of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, Inc. “This is the first display that provides such a wide field of view with such dynamic range and wide color gamut. We’ve worked with Ostendo since they began developing the technology. The high luminance and design flexibility of our OSTAR-Projection technology was a perfect fit.”

Ostendo featured prototypes of the CRVD curved display at MacWorld and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year, as well as at the Society of Information Display (SID) 2008 Exhibition in Los Angeles.
