What is ALPD® & Its Development



ALPD® or Advanced Laser Phosphor Display is a type of fluorescent laser technology which has impressive applications in image display. Through the use of mixed multi-color laser lines and laser-excited fluorescent materials, it can create a cinema-image display. ALPD® was first invented in 2007 by Appotronics®, the parent company of WEMAX®. Appotronics® currently counts with well over 2000+ global patents, which include regions such as China, the US, Japan, South Korea, and beyond. Through a decade of dedicated research and development, our parent company Appotronics® has been consistently upgrading its technology and procedures, resulting in the advance from ALPD®1.0 to ALPD®4.0, With ALPD®4.0 Appotronics® not only provides improved brightness and higher color fidelity, but it also manages to provide these image improvements with no speckle interferences. Appotronics® not only formed the basic technical system that feeds this new technology, but they consistently strive to improve on it and innovate in the industry.
