Chinese projector maker XGIMI reckons it's come up with a best of both worlds solution for projector light sources by combining the high color fidelity and comfortable viewing experience of LED technology with the high brightness chops of laser.

A smart projector could be a good fit if you like the thought of big-screen movies, but are not so keen on a huge TV dominating the space. Tapping into Netflix isn't always easy though. Audio-visual brand Dangbei addresses that with its Neo model.

Move over, macro: researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope, and among its uses is a hack that'll let you use your smartphone to view objects as tiny as a single human skin cell in brilliant high resolution.

The challenge of creating next-gen OLEDs has been finding a way to improve color brilliance without lowering electrical efficiency. Now, researchers have found a way to achieve this by applying a fundamental scientific principle.

Smart projectors with built-in sound systems are great for fuss-free entertainment, but many lack support for one key streaming service. That's not the case with the N1 Full HD model from Emotn, which has been officially licensed by Netflix.

Foldable, rollable and bendable displays are beginning to appear in electronics, but now we’ve had a glimpse at a new take on the idea. LG Display has unveiled the first high-definition display that can be stretched, twisted and folded during use.

Canada's this.is.Noise has launched an interesting MIDI controller on Indiegogo called the MIDI Blaster, which brings a new level of gesture control to music creation while also adding a visual element.

Besides keeping your food cold, there’s not much more we need from a fridge, but manufacturers keep cramming new features in there. The latest example from LG is the MoodUP, a fridge that sports speakers and LED doors that can change color on demand.

In most bike light systems, there's a headlight in front, along with a tail light, brake light and/or turn indicators in the rear. The modular Lumos Firefly setup takes a more versatile approach, as each light can be programmed to serve any function.

Most headlamps just incorporate a lamp unit in the middle, which in some cases can be set to wide and spotlight output modes. The Multi-Beam is different, in that it sports both a central spotlight and a wide half-halo of LEDs.

Scientists at Japan's Hiroshima University have demonstrated a greener path forward in quantum dot manufacturing, by using discarded rice husks to produce the world's first silicon quantum dot LED light.

Last year, BenQ launched a projector with a focus on low input lag that was aimed at big-screen gamers. Now the company has crammed the same low lag chops into a new gaming projector that's billed as the first in the world to use a 4LED light source.
