QuadPixel: Seeing It Is Believing

Grant's Perspective on ... seeing the yellow pixel demonstration at InfoComm.

As a follow up to the June 4 post on the Sharp QuadPixel technology, I had a demo of the unit at InfoComm. I am really impressed with the reproduction of the yellow and blue colour spectrum. I was also very surprised at how bright the monitor is. See the picture of the monitor and our Sharp representative Joe below.

I am pleased that Sharp has introduced a Blue Ray player with RS-232 control. This will be welcomed by control system programmers.

I also wanted to send out congratulations to Sharp and their XG-P560W DLP projector for winning the Best Video Projection Product/10K Lumen or Less category.

Yellow Pixel Makes For Billions of Colours

Grant's Perspective on ... the Sharp Electronics introduction of the RGBY yellow pixel.

I've seen the Sharp Electronics You have to see it, to see it commercial but have not yet seen the new QuadPixel technology in person. I will get the chance while attending InfoComm next week.

Our Sharp representative delivered a slide show about the QuadPixel. They talk about RGB systems reproducing over 1 billion colours and adding the fourth yellow pixel now pushes this to over 1 trillion colours. It is hard to understand what this means so I really liked his slide that showed what new colour reproduction is now possible. The blue triangle below illustrates the RGB colours and the red triangle illustrates the QuadPixel reproduction.

For those that have not seen the Sharp Electronics advertisement, the YouTube video is embedded below.


I'll have a new post on this technology after I see the demos at InfoComm.
