Problems solved by technology

DLP is one of the most successful all-digital display technologies, suitable for theaters and rear-projection TVs, but due to the use of UHP (Ultra High Pressure Mercury Lamp) and xenon lamps as light sources, its light splitting and light combining systems cause a large loss of light energy. The energy utilization rate is only 20% to 30%
GLV is the only successful color display technology based on the principle of diffraction. It has a high light utilization rate and can produce large-screen projection images by using a laser light source. Most of the energy of the diffracted light, therefore, the highest theoretical diffraction efficiency of the GLV that uses the first-order diffracted light to produce a picture is only 40.5%
