Self research and innovation support the "third route" of light sources, and once again, Jimi projection "dares to be the first"!

On May 10th, at the new flagship intelligent projection press conference of Jimi, all products including Jimi RSPro3, 100 inch soft light art TV, XGIMIMATE Jimi projection supporting solutions, etc. were unveiled

On May 10th, at the new flagship intelligent projection press conference of Jimi, all products including Jimi RSPro3, 100 inch soft light art TV, XGIMIMATE Jimi projection supporting solutions, etc. were unveiled. However, what left the deepest impression on people this time was not a single product, but ratherJimi DualLight Super Hybrid and Hawkeye Hardware Level Computational Optics are two new technologies that cross the ages.

Especially the DualLight super hybrid technology, in addition to LED light sources, monochrome laser light sources, and tricolor laser light sources, has opened up the "fourth pole of projection light sources" in solid-state light source technology. With unprecedented innovation, it has once again empowered the future of intelligent projection, which can be called a new breakthrough in the "stone shattering sky shock".

Why did Jimi launch the "third generation projection light source technology era"?

Projection display devices are essentially a "light" processing system. The imaging quality first depends on the quality of the "light source" located at the source position. In the history of projectors, there have been various attempts to differentiate light sources, such as early mercury lamps, xenon lamps, and mainstream LED, monochrome lasers, as well as "three color" laser light sources already anchored by other brands in the market.

Numerous light source solutions are active in the market, and from a certain perspective, it has been demonstrated that these light source technologies "cannot be called perfect", that is, they all have significant defects: in this regard, although LED light sources are naturally displayed in three primary colors, with comfortable colors, continuous spectra, close to sunlight, and are solid-state long-lasting light sources; However, it encountered bottlenecks in further improving brightness; The biggest advantage of monochromatic laser light sources is that they can achieve ultra-high brightness at a low cost, even reaching 100000 lumens. However, their drawbacks are equally prominent, such as weak color ability and average image quality comfort brought by monochromatic laser imaging, which is a major challenge for scenes that emphasize more film and television applications such as homes; As for early mercury lamps and xenon lamps, due to their lifespan issues, they have already entered the elimination sequence.

In addition, the tricolor laser, as a light source, meets the needs of high brightness and theoretically can improve color effects, gamut coverage, and color accuracy. At the same time, its future cost can also be greatly reduced. This is also the reason why many manufacturers are passionate about tricolor laser technology.

However, in the view of Jimi, as a potential stock in the industry, tricolor lasers also have natural flaws - the reason for this flaw is also the same as its color advantages: that is, under the high purity of laser, the wavelength is too concentrated and the frequency is too single, resulting in imaging speckle, imaging edge rainbow, image quality oversaturation, and lack of comfort under the continuous characteristics of natural light wavelength.

Because the strongest advantages and biggest problems come from the same reason, overcoming their disadvantages with tricolor lasers has always been a "pain point and bottleneck".Jimi pointed out that even with the speckle suppression technology reaching 96% today, it is still "visible to the naked eye" under home conditions and limited viewing distance, significantly affecting the refreshing and resolution of the image quality. Because speckle can only be "weak" at most and cannot be "eliminated". Therefore, the tricolor laser is currently not an ideal intelligent projection light source.

Zhong Bo, Chairman of Jimi Technology, stated that Jimi has been deeply involved in the projection market for many years. Jimi has almost devoted itself to "delving" into various solid-state light source technologies, including LED light sources, monochrome lasers, bicolor lasers, and tricolor lasers. However, it is precisely because of their dedication to these light sources that they have become "not yet perfect"!

So, besides the aforementioned "paths", are there any new solutions or technologies that can make the power of "light" perfectly present on projection products? This is the problem that Jimi DualLight super mixing technology needs to solve.

Zhong Bo believes that by combining laser and LED light sources into one and using pure red laser to supplement LED shortcomings, the increase in red color gamut and the gain in laser brightness can bring ultra-high color gamut and ultra-high brightness; Use full color LED to supplement the laser short board, ensuring that the natural spectrum is long-lasting and not tiring. Two completely different light sources collide at an unprecedented peak, truly achieving an excellent viewing experience of super comfort, ultra-high brightness, ultra-high color gamut, and ultra-high color accuracy.

Meanwhile, Zhong Bo pointed out that DualLight super hybrid technology is not a simple technological upgrade and breakthrough, but is expected to break the technological bottleneck of a single solid-state light source and usher in the era of third-generation projection light source technology.

From the perspective of Jimi, traditional commercial projection light sources (such as mercury lamps and xenon lamps) are classified as the first generation light sources, while solid-state light sources such as LED, monochromatic laser, and tricolor laser are used as the second generation light sources. At present, these second-generation technologies have obvious drawbacks, such as reaching a bottleneck in brightness or poor color, or causing discomfort due to speckle and color edges. However, DualLight super mixing technology achieves the most effective balance between brightness, color, and color accuracy, which are the core indicators of projection. Therefore, it may be a revolutionary technological leader, So Jimi defines it as the third generation light source!

DualLight Super Blending Technology, Breaking Through the "Ceiling" Innovation

Jimi's brand new DualLight super mixing technology is currently the leading technology in the intelligent projection marketThird generation light source As a new technological route, it fully explores the full color and comfort value of LED light sources, as well as the color and accuracy value of laser light sources, and organically combines the two to achieve a comprehensive product experience breakthrough.

The Jimi DualLight Super Hybrid adopts a brand new five channel laser LED hybrid optical path design, which achieves a perfect combination of the two light sources through clever placement of light source positions and recombination of optical materials.

The system utilizes newly developed LED and laser semiconductor light source devices, integrating 2 completely different light sources and 6 vastly different light bands through 278 new patented technologies.Realized natural spectral display technology with ultra-high color gamut, ultra-high brightness, and ultra-high color accuracyDualLight Super Blending Technology.

Especially by utilizing the continuous wavelength characteristics of LED light sources and the unique multi wavelength hybrid laser system of Jimi, we have successfully achieved extremely high product experience without speckles beyond the limit of visual perception. This has laid a solid foundation for breaking through the historical bottleneck of image quality for ultra-high color gamut, color accuracy, and high brightness intelligent projectors.

Jimi Technology Product Director Tang Chuanqi stated that Jimi DualLight Super Hybrid is completely different from traditional hybrid in terms of "underlying technology architecture". Because this time, Jimi achieved an organic combination of pure color laser and full color LED light source. Especially in the design of the optical path, it is to achieve mixed luminescence of 5 channels, which are not simply mixed directly. Among them, there are two red, two green, and one blue light in the optical path between each channel to ensure the uniform mixing of pixels and pixels, while ensuring the final color accuracy of each optical path, controlling the optical path, and so on, all of which have very high technical challenges.

In order to effectively achieve the perfect fusion of these five lights, the entire optical team of Jimi has achieved a "disruptive breakthrough" in multiple technical aspects such as technical bottom layer, material selection, and optical path design, ensuring such a great innovation in super mixing technology this time.

Xiao Shi, CEO of Jimi Technology, stated that the "birth" of DualLight Super Hybrid is the most successful "technological crystallization" of Jimi's "vertical integration" strategy in innovative research and development over the years. Horizontally, it achieves end-to-end full chain closed-loop from research and development, design, production, sales, and service; Vertically, starting from the underlying technology, the design innovation and production of projection core components are achieved within the enterprise through a full chain closed-loop.

Third generation light source

At the press conference, the brand new flagship models of Jimi, RSPro3 and 100 inch soft light art TV MIRA, both adopted super mixing technology, achieving breakthroughs in display effects. Among them,The RSPro3 has a brightness of 2000CCB lumens, which is nearly half higher than the previous generation product, and the color accuracy standard has also reached a high standard of E 1.In this regard, Jimi particularly emphasizes that CCB lumen brightness is currently the industry's high strictness brightness standard that truly meets the application of home movies, and the product fully adopts the mean real standard; The color accuracy data of Jimi also comes from the measured mean of mass-produced products.

CCB lumens, traditional brightness indicators used by many projectors in the industry, and even the new CVIA standards fully cater to different manufacturers with "significant technological differences", and allow for broader measurement conditions and maximum deviation values of 20% for mass-produced product parameters. Uncritical parameters are never the same. Especially in terms of the concept of color accuracy, the current high color accuracy of many products is the "limit" data, which refers to the "highest value" obtained by a specific product in a specific laboratory, under specific conditions, and after specific debugging, which cannot be achieved in mass production. The performance advantage of Jimi Super Mixing Technology enables Jimi RSPro3 to achieve high standard mass production color accuracy of E 1.

The 100 inch soft light art TV MIRA is a masterpiece of three new technologies, including extremely high mixing, self-developed ultra short focus optical path design, and customized 2.2 times high gain anti light screen. Its brightness can reach 66.7fL for projection on a 100 inch screen (fL is the unit used to represent the brightness of domestic cinema screens, with a standard range of 14fL to 20fL for 2D movies played on a 100 inch screen in domestic cinemas); Especially during the day, its suppression of ambient light reaches up to 97%, truly bringing a "color TV" like experience effect.

Starting from the light source, the "experience" and "mass production performance" of Jimi's new generation products have broken the existing product experience ceiling in the industry. This is another milestone in the development history of intelligent projection.

Perhaps based on his "confidence" in Jimi Super Hybrid, Zhong Bo mentioned the slogan of the upcoming comprehensive "benchmarking" of television after a 7-year hiatus. And this time, in Jimi's view, challenging television has become more likely.

Hawkeye hardware level computational optics, making projection debugging and conversion "hard"

At the press conference on May 10, Jimi also presented another transcendence innovation weapon, namely, eagle eye hardware level computational optics. This innovation particularly emphasizes the comprehensive entry into the "hardware" era of "projection light processing, final adjustment and conversion of the light output part".

What is hardware optical computing? In contrast, it emphasizes traditional intelligent projection optical computing, which is often achieved through "software": for example, image zooming and zooming are completed by the digital processor behind the 1.2:1 fixed focal length lens, which is achieved by discarding the resolution; Many applications such as trapezoidal correction and side projection are also completed through software calculations at the expense of resolution and brightness.

So, if consumers want to achieve the "best" product image quality, they must find more suitable projection distance, projection height, and projection angle, which greatly hinders the convenience and diversity of product applications. Jimi Eagle Eye hardware level computational optics is designed to solve this problem.

Eagle Eye Hardware Level Computational Optics 30000 yuan Professional Engineering Projection Technology Decentralization

It is reported that the hardware level optical computing applied on the Jimi RSPro3 mainly includes three parts of innovation: firstly, the cat's eye biomimetic dynamic aperture can non-destructive adjust the brightness and contrast of the image; Secondly, the dynamic spectral module can further improve color accuracy by adjusting the color range of the screen through dynamic filters; Finally, the newly designed fully automatic optical zoom module allows for more precise control of image scaling, providing non-destructive image adjustment capabilities. Relying on the three major optical hardware, Jimi has achieved hardware level control and mutual conversion of brightness, contrast, and color. The image scaling, brightness adjustment, and trapezoidal changes no longer require sacrificing image quality and resolution, truly presenting native 4K image quality to the audience anytime and anywhere.

At the same time, Jimi, a system composed of hardware level optical devices, is also an intelligent, real-time, and precise system. That is, eagle eye hardware level computing optics is based on the perceptual capabilities of the eagle eye visual perception system (including CMOS+single point TOF, environmental brightness sensors, AI algorithms, and user scene data, etc.) to intelligently schedule these optical hardware, thereby achieving real-time adjustment of brightness, contrast, and color. This will allow consumers to truly improve brightness during the day and watch TV more brightly; Enhance colors at night and immerse yourself in movies; The optical hardware is adaptive, providing an excellent experience of "no sensation, automatic" and good image quality 24/7.

The hardware level precision optical equipment and intelligent driving process enable the image conversion and debugging of the projector to truly harden in the "image quality" dimension. This is a new breakthrough in the industry brought about by Jimi Eagle Eye hardware level computational optics, and also a further upgrade to the performance of traditional intelligent projection optical systems.

Continuously innovating, Jimi wants to be the perfect 'pursuer of light'

Light is the soul of projection display, and pursuit of light is the soul of projection innovators.Jimi has once again demonstrated the epic project of projection innovation with two new technologies, DualLight Super Blending and Eagle Eye Hardware Level Computational Optics, which are spanning the ages:

At present, domestic audio-visual consumption is accelerating towards larger screens and higher quality. The projection industry, especially in the home market targeting ordinary consumers, is constantly calling for and pursuing higher end display performance - this is even unrelated to product prices. From thousands of yuan machines to tens of thousands of yuan products, and even more expensive products, they are constantly pursuing a more extreme performance experience.

Whoever can continuously break the industry ceiling in terms of performance experience will be the first to stand at the forefront of future competition. The two core innovations of Jimi, hybrid light sources and hardware level computational optics, have comprehensively broken the performance limits of traditional intelligent projection, bringing new possibilities for product applications. This is alsoWhat the Jimi brand has been doing in the past decade is to innovate all the way, making Jimi from a newcomer to the top five in the domestic projection market and accelerating its entry into the global market.

According to Jimi's 2022 financial report, its research and development expenses were 377 million yuan, with a research and development revenue ratio of 8.93%. This year, Jimi once again obtained as many as 72 hard core invention patents (non new application or appearance patents), fully reflecting Jimi's rich innovation achievements and scientific and technological hard core strength. Especially with a research and development budget of 377 million yuan, it far exceeds that of its peers. It is also under such persistence that Jimi continuously breaks industry conventions and ceilings, opens up new technological paths, and achieves leapfrog innovation.

Go after Jimi and let others follow Jimi! This is the signal that Jimi's brand new press conference on May 10, 2023 will bring to the industry.The Jimi RSPro3 has become the world's first 4K home telephoto projector that supports the Dolby Vision, and has also been officially awarded the world's first professional color calibration Performance TestedMark certification by SGC.Under the new competitive dimensions of DualLight super hybrid and Hawkeye hardware level computing optics, Jimi has already "cut the knife" and is waiting for its peers in the industry to take over.
