HDI’s laser-driven 3D HDTV
Low-Cost, Extremely Energy Efficient 100-inch Diagonal Displays Fast-Tracked for 2010
October 28, 2009 – Los Gatos, CA – HDI Ltd. announces it has entered into a manufacturing agreement to mass produce their proprietary 100-inch diagonal Laser-Driven 2D/3D Switchable Dynamic Video Projection Televisions. HDI Ltd.’s 2D/3D switchable system delivers a stunningly superior 2D image, with a 50% greater resolution than today’s digital cinemas, and derives its greater-than-high definition stereoscopic 1920 x 1080p “3D” image quality from two RGB laser-illuminated Liquid Crystal on Silcon (LCOS) micro display imagers. At full 1080p HD, the HDI Ltd. screen refreshes at 360 fields per-second on each eye, the fastest refresh rate on any mass produced television or projector.
HDI Ltd. has completely eliminated the adverse effects, such as migraines, dizziness, nausea, and motion sickness, long associated with inferior and expensive shutter glasses and substandard 3D technology. HDI Ltd. delivers the most immersive, comfortable, and natural 3D viewing experience in the world with low-cost and light-weight proprietary polarized glasses. Technology journalist Richard Hart called HDI Ltd.’s picture quality, “the smoothest yet, and smoothness means no headaches,” and Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computers, stated, “Without a doubt, the best demonstration of 3D technology I have ever seen.”
In addition, HDI Ltd. displays draw 80% less power than existing 2D plasma displays of the same size, offer a 95% reduction in manufacturing pollution, and a 100% reduction in harmful chemicals and radioactive components currently used in existing televisions. At 10-inches thick, HDI’s 100-inch diagonal display weighs 75% less than equivalent Plasma and LCD displays, and is anticipated to have a street price potentially 60% less than current 2D flatscreen Plasma and LCD displays.
HDI’s September 2009 announcement of their potential new standard for switchable 2D/3D television technology came on the same day several major manufactures announced plans to release new energy-guzzling plasma televisions with 3D capabilities via shutter glasses, all of which featured price tags as much as 100% or more than current 2D televisions.
HDI Ltd. quickly caught the interest of the consumer electronics industry and, as reported on Variety.com, top execs, engineers and S3D experts from six of the eight leading television manufactures recently crowded together into HDI Ltd.’s tiny Los Gatos lab to see their prototype 100-inch, rear-projection S3D television.
David Cohen of Variety.com reported, “HDI’s approach shows the promise of laser-driven 3D TV could be a reality surprisingly soon,” and Sean Portnoy of ZDNet said, “We could be looking at a Holy Grail of sorts for the next generation of television.”
According to co-founder Ingemar Jansson, “The first production-run of 100-inch HDI Ltd. 2D/3D switchable displays should quickly put product into a multitude of B2B and public demonstration venues.” He’s mum as to when leading American retailers will be able to put units into homes, but stresses that the simplistic and inexpensive design and manufacturing techniques required to produce HDI Ltd. televisions, “will have product in the marketplace faster than one would expect,” and adds, “either with the HDI logo or that of another leading manufacturer.”
Offering a thought on the fact that California appears poised to be the first state to ban power-guzzling big-screen TVs, Jansson states, “In light of the energy efficient products emerging from companies such as Apple, the lobbying efforts of the Consumer Electronics Association strikes me as almost criminal in promoting antiquated technologies that the ‘Grid,’ and the planet, simply cannot sustain.”

The Invisible Bluetooth Earpiece Helps You on First Dates
So, I do remember telling you about one device that you could use to cheat at exams, not that I was, or am now, suggesting you to do so – but probably any lucid and logical person would think about that. I don’t remember too much about that so let’s leave it aside, and get to the next best thing, because as a quote I found on the Internet said – whatever may the past has gone, the best is always yet to come.
Coming from Brickhouse Security, I present to you the Invisible Bluetooth Earpiece with SOS Button. Why is this better? Because unlike regular headsets, it allows another party to listen in remotely, without the slightest possibility to get detected. Of course, the gadget also operates like any other Bluetooth headset, letting users communicate with others via cell phone, but opposite to the common ones, this is not at all visible – allowing wearers to hide it inside of their ear.
Adding to the versatility, the Invisible Bluetooth Earpiece comes with a special SOS button that users can hide in their shoe (as you can see bellow) or in their pocket, to be used just in case they need to call for help without talking. The uses for this come in a wide range, from covert Police operations to journalists on assignment, people giving speeches and why not mention this as well, actors that tend to forget their lines on the theater stage or nervous people on first dates, for friends to guide them what to say.
Main highlights of this would be the completely invisible magnetic vibration receiver that fits inside the ear, the capability of two-way voice communication via any Bluetooth phone or two-way radio, the covert communication silent SOS button, the magnetism-powered passive earpiece receiver, sensitive microphone and probably the fact that this is (supposedly) the smallest wireless earpiece in the world. Pricing, however, is a little high, I guess, compared to regular headsets, tagging it with the $199.95 value.
