Laser display technology achieves rapid market success - Jenoptik Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH had been involved in the development of laser projection technology in Gera since 1999 through a co-operation agreement and has developed the heart of this technology, the Red-Green-Blue laser (RGB laser), ready for mass production.
The laser display technology enables extremely high quality moving images to be projected onto a range of different projection surfaces.
The latest generation of planetaria from Carl-Zeiss Jena GmbH is equipped with the new RGB laser technology.
RGB lasers are also used for flight simulators, large screen projections and laser light shows.
Jenoptik LDT GmbH has already sold projection systems for military flight simulation to two key clients, the US firm of L-3 Communications Corporation and Rheinmetall Defence Electronics GmbH (formerly STN Atlas).
By supplying the projection technology for the F18 and Tornado flight simulation the Jenoptik subsidiary has gained a foothold in the military simulation technology market.
