Appotronics International Limited showcased its ALPD laser light source technology for cinema last week at CinemaCon 2024.
Based on its what the company calls its comprehensive and reliable underlying technological architecture, the ALPD laser light source ensures speckle-free and stable image quality, improving the projection quality in cinemas. Compared to other laser light source, ALPD eliminates the needs for additional devices for speckle removal, helping cinemas reduce investment costs, the company said.
Moreover, it takes only three or four hours for installation and has no impacts on daily cinema daily operation. With a lifespan of 30,000 hours, the company says the ALPD laser light source helps to reduce the needs for frequent xenon lamp replacement and lowering the cinemas' operational and maintenance expenses. Additionally, the ALPD laser light source's low heat emission and eco-friendly nature have made it a preferred choice among cinemas.
The company says that, as of December 31, 2023, ALPD laser light source systems had been installed in more than 37,000 cinema halls globally. This has resulted in saving at least 568 million kWh of electricity and reducing CO2 emissions by more than 249 million cubic meters, the company says.
