TV technology makes inroads in Mexico, Asia
Luminus Devices Inc. of Billerica said today it has signed a distribution agreement that should make one of its flagship products, the Luminus PhlatLight, more widely available in Mexico and several countries in Asia.
According to Luminus, the PhlatLight can give a high-definition TV set or a digital projection system a brighter picture while using less energy. Currently, LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics use Luminus technology in some of their large-screen and digital-projection televisions.
Under the agreement with Toyota Tsusho America Inc., Luminus said that Toyota Tsusho America will distribute PlatLight products and provide technical support for customers in China, Taiwan, Korea, and Mexico, Luminus said.
Toyota Motor Corp. owns a minority stake in its Japanese parent company.
