The Corporate Vision

Projectavision was founded in 1989 to capitalize on its own patented Depixelization technology, which dramatically improves the quality of projected TV images. Subsequent research and development by the company resulted in additional technical, optical and design patents. These patents, along with strategic partnerships with other consumer electronic companies, such as Texas Instruments, have placed Projectavision in a position to take advantage of both the growing demand for large screen home theater and the inevitable blending of entertainment, computer and interactive media displays.

Additionally, the company's ability to distinguish and acquire unique technology, its ability to access capital resources, and its experienced management team position it to achieve its corporate vision: To be a significant part of the future information, display, entertainment and telecommunications markets worldwide.

The Versatile Projectavision Digital Home Theater TM with DLPTM
The Digital Home TheaterTM, Projectavision's unique home theater projection television, features proprietary technologies from Projectavision and Texas Instruments. These technologies include Projectavision's patented interchangeable front and rear screen projection system and Texas Instruments' patented Digital Light ProcessingTM technology.

With Projectavision's front & rear-screen projection system, the consumer can remove the Digital Home TheaterTM's portable projector from the rear screen cabinet and enjoy a front projection system that delivers wall-size images for television as well as SVGA and VGA computer applications. The Digital Home TheaterTM projector is its own television receiver and can process video signals from Digital Satellite Systems, VCR's, cable, Laser disc and DVD players, computers and satellite systems. That means consumers can enjoy portable, theater-sized images in their own home, a neighbor's house, the office, or school. This degree of flexibility is not found in current projection TV products. According to an independent market research group, 9 out of 10 consumers who had purchased or were in the market to buy a large screen product preferred and would pay a premium for the flexibility of the Projectavision Digital Home TheaterTM.

Texas Instruments' Digital Light Processing (DLP) provides the Digital Home TheaterTM's superior image. DLP is a fully all-digital video image display process that combines the qualities of a highly reflective metal with the speed and efficiency of a semi-conductor device to deliver brighter, sharper, clearer and noise-free video images that rival photographic images. Designed around TI's innovative Digital Micro-Mirror Device, 25 years in development, the revolutionary DLP is the key to improved, high-quality imaging for entertainment, education, business presentations and the information superhighway.

Instant Consumer Gratification & Retailer Benefits
The Projectavision Digital Home TheaterTM can be brought home by the consumer and assembled in minutes simply by tightening four (4) turn fasteners. This streamlined delivery and set-up gives the Projectavision Digital Home TheaterTM significant advantages over the competition. Consumers receive instant gratification. Retailers experience increased sales and higher revenue per unit since they are alleviated of the costly, cumbersome deliveries and service calls normally associated with large screen projection televisions. The Digital Home TheaterTM also offers retailers advantages in terms of reduced stock room requirements, ease of display, and reduced service requirements. Super-thin with the heaviest of the three weighing 81 lbs., the Digital Home TheaterTM will change the way people think about rear projection TV.

Depixelization
Depixelization, the original driving technology behind Projectavision, directly addresses the most significant shortcoming of liquid crystal display (LCD) large screen projection television systems. These systems suffer from degraded image quality due to the "screen door effect" in which individual picture elements or pixels are surrounded by very annoyingly visible black borders. Projectavision's Depixelization technology enables the light from each pixel to be expanded so it is contiguous with the light from the neighboring pixels, yielding a smoother picture. This greatly improved picture quality dramatically increases the practical market potential of projection television systems.

The company has entered into non-exclusive licensing agreements for its Depixelization technology with consumer electronics companies including Matsushita Electrical Industrial Co., which distributes consumer electronics products in the U.S. under the Panasonic brand name, and Samsung Electronics. The company is working with Samsung in the development and design of LCD brand product using the Projectavision Dixelization Micro-optical Technologies. In addition, Depixelization is expected to be incorporated in future Digital Home TheaterTM products.
