BELLEVUE, WA – August 11, 2009: Lightspeed Design, Inc, USA and LC-Tec Displays AB, SWEDEN are pleased to announce today the signing of a new agreement that grants Lightspeed the exclusive rights to market & sell the high speed liquid crystal Polarization Rotator devices manufactured by LC-Tec Displays AB for stereoscopic 3D visualization products.
LC-Tec Displays AB has developed a new range of Polarization Rotators capable of switching the polarization of a projection-image at ultra-high speeds of 400Hz. The polarization rotator can be used together with a high-speed projector and polarization-preserving projection-screen in order to create high quality stereoscopic images using either linear or circular polarized passive viewing-glasses.
Products based on the Polarization Rotator will be commercially available from August 2009. Further details of the agreement are not disclosed.
