Luminus' PhlatLight LEDs Provide High Brightness to Acer's New Pocket Projector

PhlatLight LEDs Drive Next-Generation Pocket Projectors

Las Vegas, NV, Consumer Electronics Show, January 8, 2009 – Luminus Devices
today announced that it achieved brightness levels with its PhlatLight® LED PT-39
chipset to power the new Acer K10, an easy-to-carry and lightweight pocket projector.
PhlatLight LEDs offer high levels of brightness and performance not available today in
pocket projectors using traditional lamp technologies.

The PhlatLight LED PT-39 chipset is designed specifically for projection systems that
use micro-displays ranging from 0.4" to 0.55" with individual red, green and blue LEDs
and work in conjunction with Texas Instruments' digital light processing technology. The
combined technologies enable PhlatLight LEDs to work more efficiently in the Acer K10,
making the projector an ideal mobile companion for instant projection anywhere.

"PhlatLight LEDs are ideally suited for the new, compact Acer pocket projector because
they are the brightest and most reliable light source giving business road warriors and
video game enthusiasts vibrant and vivid images," said Matt Mazzuchi, General
Manager, Projection Display Business Group, Luminus Devices. "Eco-friendly PhlatLight
LEDs are far superior to traditional lamp technologies because they never need to be
replaced throughout the lifetime of the pocket projector."

"The K10 is Acer's first projector that utilizes revolutionary PhlatLight LED technology,
and emits high brightness of up to 100 ANSI Lumens for clear and detailed images," said
Victor Chien, director, Digital Display Business Unit, Acer Inc. "As part of Acer's
continued drive to offer greener and more environmentally friendly products, LED lamp
technology is free from hazardous substances such as mercury or halogen gases and
consumes less power than traditional lamps."

Luminus will be demonstrating the new Acer K10 at CES, January 8-11 in Suite #4118 at
the Las Vegas Hilton. To schedule a meeting with a Luminus spokesperson or for more

green and blue LED, and is best-suited for data projectors using micro-displays ranging
from 0.65"- 1". Like other PhlatLight LED products, the PT-121 offers instant start up with
no warm up and cool down period required by today's conventional mercury lamp
technologies. The PT-121 also includes a wide color gamut that exceeds NTSC
standards and surpasses 60,000 hours of lifetime, eliminating the need to replace the
projector light source.

"Texas Instruments and Luminus have a long-standing collaborative relationship that
fosters innovation," said Lars Yoder, vice president, DLP® Front Projection Products at
Texas Instruments. "The integration of our individual expertise in DLP chip technology
and PhlatLight LEDs results in expanding the global market with unmatched levels of
