Panorama Labs, the company pioneering magneto-photonic crystal technologies, announced that it has completed and successfully operated its first magneto-photonic projector.

The Panorama Labs projector's features include high-speed switching, pixel remanence, low power requirements and high thermal tolerance. This is the first time that light has been successfully directly manipulated by a projector imager, without utilizing liquid crystal or micro-mirrors, projecting an image on a screen. The heart of the system is a micro display light engine, based on the principle of magneto-optical switching, which will form the core technology for a number of applications including digital cinema projectors, rear projection TVs, home theater projectors, displays, mass storage, and telecom switching devices.

Panorama Labs hopes its magneto-photonic crystal technology will provide competition for more commonly deployed technologies like LCD, LCoS, plasma in digital display, and DLP in theatrical display.
