https://www.electronics-lab.com/craftalight-brighten-handbags/
Interesting how what started as a little discussion turned out to be one great solution at MAKE 100 as founders and owners of Staudt Technologies, Katharina and Yannic share their newly discovered solution with the world. Having realized how really difficult it is to quickly find stuff in equipped handbags, backpacks, purses, etc., the couple decided […]
New dimension of brightness: Osram heralds a new chapter for LED projection
https://www.electronics-lab.com/new-dimension-brightness-osram-heralds-new-chapter-led-projection/
As projectors grow more and more popular in home entertainment systems, so have the expectations of users. In addition to ever-higher resolutions, the focus is also on richer colors, contrasts and, of course, higher brightness. With the Ostar Projection Power family, Osram has succeeded for the first time in achieving projector brightness levels beyond the […]
