InFocus Announces Expanded Relationship with Texas Instruments at InfoComm
DLP selected as exclusive technology for InFocus projectors
WILSONVILLE, OR (June 8, 2006)—InFocus, the big picture solution provider that magnifies the impact of immersive audio-visual experiences, today launched an initiative to focus all development solely on Digital Light Processing (DLP®) technology from Texas Instruments®. This strategic decision streamlines InFocus’ product offerings and provides consumers with impressive, quality products for the most popular markets including home entertainment, gaming, conference and board rooms, small business applications and education.
“We see InFocus as an important ally, and this development validates our joint commitment to providing innovative projection solutions that are unmatched by the polysilicon competitors,” said John Van Scoter of Texas Instruments. “From the boardroom to the living room, projectors with DLP technology promise outstanding picture quality, unmatched reliability and the ability to captivate audiences.”
The expansion of the relationship with Texas Instruments enables InFocus to streamline its product development process and amplify the superiority of its Play Big, Work Big and Learn Big projectors. In turn, DLP from Texas Instruments gains knowledge from InFocus’ extensive retail leadership experience and 20 years of pioneering firsts in projection.
“We are thrilled to deepen our relationship with Texas Instruments because they share our commitment to providing outstanding image quality and unrivaled product reliability,” said Kyle Ranson, President and CEO, InFocus Corporation. “Our expertise as the global industry leader in
projection combined with their reputation for excellence in quality and entertainment content enables us to set a new standard for projection solutions.”
InFocus’ relationship with Texas Instruments dates back to 1996 with the launch of the LP610 & LP620 projectors and encompasses over 15 platforms leading to over 30 distinct products being delivered to the market.
