Ceravision Ltd. Of Bletchley, England has launched their new Continuum 2.4 lighting technology for evaluation by projector lamp and electronics manufacturers. During their research and development Ceravision have aimed to produce a lamp which is compact, bright, efficient, environmentally safe combined with a long life. The lamp contains no mercury which has been an environmental concern with other lamp designs.

Ceravision believe the Continuum 2.4 lamps will easily integrate into mass-market electronics, such as projection displays. Mike Hanney, Technical Director of Polymer Optics is not short of praise for the new technology saying, “Ceravision have succeeded in developing a truly remarkable new light source. Its capabilities to provide a widely selectable wavelength range, extremely high levels of efficacy and long life, combined with a small emission area, make this an illumination product designers dream. This technology is truly set to be the biggest revolution to the lighting industry since the invention of the filament lamp, and even the high power LED”. Not lost on manufacturers will be a statement by Ceravision’s CEO, Tim Reynolds, that the Continuum 2.4 is inexpensive to manufacture using widely available components.

Ceravision anticipate that the lamp system is an ideal replacement for light sources used in business projectors and rear projection TVs. They emphasize that its excellent stability make it well suited to illuminate DLP and LCOS systems.
