Record at the end of the OSIRIS project
OSTAR Power Projection
The EU sponsored OSIRIS project has ended with resounding success for the subordinate ‘LED’ project. In the space of just one year the performance of the LED light source has been improved enormously. The brightness of green LEDs for example has actually doubled.
In 2009, engineers at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors succeeded in developing an LED prototype with outstanding performance. The prototype achieved brightness values of 3300 lm for red, 3500 lm for green and 18W for blue.Based on these results, OSRAM then developed the OSTAR Power Projection, which was launched on the market in 2009.
In the OSIRIS project the OSTAR Power Projection provided the development platform for the next milestone. Now at the end of the project the performance figures are truly impressive: 24W for blue, 4000 lm for red and as high as 7500 lm for green – all for the same input power of course.
The technologies developed during the project are now being incorporated gradually in the LED products of the next generation and will be available on the market by the end of 2011.
About the project:
OSIRIS (Original System for Image Rendition via Innovative Screens) was launched in January 2007 and came to an end in April 2010. Its purpose was to develop new generations of LED products for 2D and 3D projection systems based on innovative component technologies, including the implementation of a general technology platform for various applications (TV, cinema, gaming, advertising …).
