Lighthouse Technologies to Sponsor Business Of Design Week 2006

Lighthouse Brings its Diverse Visual Solutions to one of the Most Prominent

Events on the International Design Calendar

HONG KONG, Nov. 29 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lighthouse Technologies is pleased to announce its participation as a Platinum Sponsor at the 2006 Business of Design Week (BODW) event scheduled to take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from November 27 to December 2, 2006.

Now in its fifth year, BODW has become one of the most significant annual events on the international design calendar, attracting high calibre speakers such as Jimmy Choo and Rashid Khan.

As an event sponsor, Lighthouse will supply over US$ 2 million worth of state-of-the art LED video screens for use during various presentations.

This includes the provision of two, high definition Lighthouse 8m x 8m, R6-111 screens for the Business of Design (BOD) Asia conference from November 29 to December 1, and the Inno-Asia symposium on December 2.

In addition, the company will showcase its new cutting-edge 4mm LED display screen, plus two 6m x 6m, R4 video screens, at the Hong Kong Design Centre's Annual Award and Gala Dinner scheduled to be held on the evening of November 30.

Commenting on Lighthouse's participation, Mr. William To, Project Director of BODW for the Hong Kong Design Centre, stated, "We are thrilled that Lighthouse Technologies is sponsoring this year's event.

"We would like to thank them for providing their dynamic visual solutions. By enabling us to project high resolution imagery in crisp detail, their technology will enhance the overall learning experience for participants and their enjoyment of our event."

Dr. John Lo, Chairman of the Inno-Asia Conference stated that the objective of the annual symposium is to share the latest, international design trends and technologies with Hong Kong companies, and to impart knowledge as to how local designers can incorporate technology into their creative concepts to create value add and product differentiation.

He comments, "For instance, the utilization of Lighthouse's LED displays at our conference effectively demonstrates how innovative technology can enhance every day commercial applications."

Mr. Mark Chan, Managing Director for Lighthouse Technologies agrees expressing that he hoped that Lighthouse's innovation at the event would inspire design professionals as to how advanced technologies, and in particular LEDs, can be successfully incorporated as part of lighting and architectural pieces.

He notes that this year's Business of Design Week is also of special significance to the company.

"For Lighthouse, this year's BODW industry event is of particular importance as Dr. Nakamura-san, a leading advocate in LED research and the pioneer of high power blue and green light emitting diodes is a keynote speaker at the BOD conference."

Mr. Chan points out that advances in LED technology founded by Dr. Nakamura-san have been successfully incorporated into the design of many Lighthouse products on display.

"For example, one of these innovations is the ability to project high definition images on a video screen, in a conference environment, without having to dim or turn the lights down," says Mr. Chan.

"Indeed, it is due to the work of LED pioneers such as Dr. Nakamura-san that the audiovisual industry has been able to migrate from basic analogue systems to digital innovation, improving picture clarity and quality remarkably.

"It is therefore our pleasure to dedicate the launch of Lighthouse's new, spectacular 4mm screen as a tribute to Dr. Nakamura-san who has helped to make advancements such as high ambience lighting and "day-light" conferencing a reality," Mr. Chan concluded.
