Syntax-Brillian Corporation (NASDAQ:BRLC)
Industry: Consumer Goods
Syntax-Brillian Corporation engages in the manufacture and marketing of high-definition televisions (HDTVs) in liquid crystal display (LCD) and liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) formats, as well as other digital entertainment products. The Company's products include its Olevia brand of widescreen HDTVs for the home entertainment and home theater markets, and Gen II LCoS rear-projection HDTVs for the video/audio market. Syntax-Brillian also offers a line of LCoS microdisplay products and subsystems, including LCoS light engines and imagers that original equipment manufacturers can integrate into HDTV products; home theater projectors, and near-to-eye products, such as head-mounted monocular or binocular headsets and viewers, for industrial, medical, military, commercial, and consumer applications. The Company is based in Tempe, Arizona. Large-Screen, High-Definition Televisions The Company's initial HDTV product is an HDTV monitor with a screen size of 65 inches. This television is designed to compete in the segment of the large-screen HDTV market. This product has an on-screen contrast ratio up to 2000:1 and has a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a resolution of 720 pixels (p) (also known as HDTV1) utilizing the Company's BR768 microdisplay. Brillian is developing HDTVs that will integrate a television tuner compliant with Advanced Television Systems Committee standards with its HDTV monitor product. The Company also has under development an integrated television product with a resolution of 1080p (also known as HDTV2). Brillian is also evaluating platforms with different screen sizes or modifications in overall dimensions, from its initial HDTV product. Microdisplay Product Line The Company's microdisplay products include a line of LCoS display imagers and associated application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that provide driver, controller and converter functions that operate the imager. An ASIC is a semiconductor designed for a specific application. Brillian's imager products have resolutions and sizes designed for specific market segment applications. The Company has provided prototypes of its BR1920 and BR1080 imagers to potential customers for evaluation. Brillian's product line also includes optical modules for near-to-eye applications. Optical modules include illumination, prisms, color separators and combiners, and lenses to provide complete display products. The Company's offerings also include development kits, schematic plans and specifications, or reference designs, in order to accelerate time to market for its OEM customers. Brillian's microdisplay product line addresses the needs of projection markets, the OEM rear-projection HDTV market with screen sizes of greater than 50 inches and the front-projection home theater market. The Company serves smaller projection markets, including photo printers and digital cinema. For projection applications, Brillian offers products with Super-eXtended Graphics Array and HDTV1 resolution and is developing products with HDTV2 resolution. The Company produces products to serve the near-to-eye market, including Super Video Graphics Display (SVGA) imagers, display modules and reference designs. Brillian's display modules allow OEM customers to focus on end-product design and packaging, because they can use its full-color SVGA resolution microdisplay as a drop-in assembly. Brillian's near-to-eye products are mounted in a headset and provide image magnification. The magnified image appears to the user with the clarity, size and resolution of a computer monitor. These products also are compact, lightweight and energy efficient. Products based on LCoS microdisplays have long lifetimes, can be made lightweight with low-power requirements and display sharp, bright images. The Company's LCoS microdisplays also withstand ambient temperature ranges, a feature that is important for industrial and portable applications. Brillian's associated ASICs enable fast rendering of images, an important attribute for viewing full-motion video. The Company's near-to-eye
