Lighthouse Brings its Diverse Visual Solutions to one of the Most Prominent
Events on the International Design Calendar
HONG KONG, Nov. 29 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lighthouse Technologies is
pleased to announce its participation as a Platinum Sponsor at the 2006
Business of Design Week (BODW) event scheduled to take place at the Hong
Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from November 27 to December 2, 2006.
Now in its fifth year, BODW has become one of the most significant
annual events on the international design calendar, attracting high calibre
speakers such as Jimmy Choo and Rashid Khan.
As an event sponsor, Lighthouse will supply over US$ 2 million worth of
state-of-the art LED video screens for use during various presentations.
This includes the provision of two, high definition Lighthouse 8m x 8m,
R6-111 screens for the Business of Design (BOD) Asia conference from
November 29 to December 1, and the Inno-Asia symposium on December 2.
In addition, the company will showcase its new cutting-edge 4mm LED
display screen, plus two 6m x 6m, R4 video screens, at the Hong Kong Design
Centre's Annual Award and Gala Dinner scheduled to be held on the evening of
November 30.
Commenting on Lighthouse's participation, Mr. William To, Project
Director of BODW for the Hong Kong Design Centre, stated, "We are thrilled
that Lighthouse Technologies is sponsoring this year's event.
"We would like to thank them for providing their dynamic visual
solutions. By enabling us to project high resolution imagery in crisp
detail, their technology will enhance the overall learning experience for
participants and their enjoyment of our event."
Dr. John Lo, Chairman of the Inno-Asia Conference stated that the
objective of the annual symposium is to share the latest, international
design trends and technologies with Hong Kong companies, and to impart
knowledge as to how local designers can incorporate technology into their
creative concepts to create value add and product differentiation.
He comments, "For instance, the utilization of Lighthouse's LED displays
at our conference effectively demonstrates how innovative technology can
enhance every day commercial applications."
Mr. Mark Chan, Managing Director for Lighthouse Technologies agrees
expressing that he hoped that Lighthouse's innovation at the event would
inspire design professionals as to how advanced technologies, and in
particular LEDs, can be successfully incorporated as part of lighting and
architectural pieces.
He notes that this year's Business of Design Week is also of special
significance to the company.
"For Lighthouse, this year's BODW industry event is of particular
importance as Dr. Nakamura-san, a leading advocate in LED research and the
pioneer of high power blue and green light emitting diodes is a keynote
speaker at the BOD conference."
Mr. Chan points out that advances in LED technology founded by Dr.
Nakamura-san have been successfully incorporated into the design of many
Lighthouse products on display.
"For example, one of these innovations is the ability to project high
definition images on a video screen, in a conference environment, without
having to dim or turn the lights down," says Mr. Chan.
"Indeed, it is due to the work of LED pioneers such as Dr. Nakamura-san
that the audiovisual industry has been able to migrate from basic analogue
systems to digital innovation, improving picture clarity and quality
remarkably.
"It is therefore our pleasure to dedicate the launch of Lighthouse's
new, spectacular 4mm screen as a tribute to Dr. Nakamura-san who has helped
to make advancements such as high ambience lighting and "day-light"
conferencing a reality," Mr. Chan concluded.
