Speaker: Richard MacKellar, CEO, Sunnybrook Technologies
Title: Sunnybrook’s High Dynamic Range Display
Abstract: Sunnybrook Technologies achieved the aim of many by creating a display with images that are true to life in respect to brightness and contrast. Images match those experienced in the real world by having: * High brightness: the demonstrated performance of over 2,000 candela/m2 (these can be as high at 4,000 Cd/m2) as opposed to 100 to 500 cd/m2 for conventional displays * Deep black levels: the specified black level of 0.06 Cd/m2 is usually exceeded, often achieving 0.03 Cd/m2. * High contrast: contrast ratios are over 40,000:1, as opposed to 300 to 700:1 for conventional displays * Large bit depth: the display are 16-bit, with around 14 useful bits leading to over 17,000 visible shades for each color (red, green, blue), rather than the 255 shades with existing technology Sunnybrook will provide a technical overview of the underlying technology and a demonstration of one of its display products.
