Sony has announced the development of a highly efficient RGB laser light source module that, thanks to its high scalability, is suitable for use with projectors of all sizes and promises outstanding performance as well as power efficiency. The module incorporates high-power lasers with a combined output power of 21W in a single, small package.

The module uses semiconductor diodes for the red and blue lasers, and a compact, high power solid-state SHG laser for the green. The technology for both the red and green lasers was developed by Sony and allows for an overall 110W energy consumption at 5,000 lumens (or 21W), for a very respectable 18% energy conversion ratio — which is very high for power visible lasers.

Sony's VPL-EX7 data projector is affordable and ideal, especially in education and business. They provide a high brightness of 2000 lumens and also offer native XGA resolutions. It also equipped with a short focal-length lens enabling large-screen projection from a very short distance.
