The Light of the Future conference in China showcased many advances in laser display technologies and explored innovative approaches to laser display development. Hisense, one of the leading consumer electronics manufacturers, officially announced at the conference that its 150-inch laser TV is now entering mass production.

Hisense recently introduced the device at the IFA in Berlin. Strictly speaking, the smart TV is not a traditional television, but rather a short-range projector with DLP technology and a laser diode as the light source, whose 150-inch screen – that’s an impressive 3.75 meters diagonally – is rolled up.
New devices with fewer restrictions
While many such projectors have not been able to achieve particularly rich colors so far and require the room to be darkened for their maximum luminous flux, current devices surprise with a large color space and bright images.
Sales of 100-inch televisions have grown significantly in recent years, with short-throw projectors being the most important driver. According to Dennis Lee, president of Hisense Visual Technology, such laser TVs have boosted the popularity of large screens in family homes over the past few years by enabling various innovative designs such as rolling and lifting screens.

Laser display technology has advanced significantly through industry-wide efforts. German Leica Camera AG is working with Chinese electronics maker Hisense on the development of laser TV devices from 2022.
In addition to the various areas of traditional displays, this further development mainly affects areas such as entertainment and artistic activities in the home or in the car. Samsung and Xgimi also presented their first short-range projectors at IFA.
