Planar and Dome merge product lines

Planar had bought dome monitor for $61 million in 2002, compensating a little more than twice Dome’s annual revenue. Planar produces display hardware and software for a assortment of specialty display markets. It entered the household theater market in 2006 with its Xscreen technology and front-projection products. Planar is left with the leftover markets, and a business unit that may be less saleable than before. So now they need to figure it out. Planar has 20 years of experience delivering good flat-panel monitor solutions. They provide leading performance and innovative features in all of their products.

planar dome production team admits several ex-InFocus engineers, so it’s no surprise the company’s PD7010 DLP projector looks similar to the heralded InFocus IN76. Planar’s innovative intelligent lens shift technology prohibits lens shift outside the image region to eliminate shadowing or clipping the picture, which is a revolutionary software function for home theater projectors. Also included are an RS-232 automation user interface with distinct on/off, input option and aspect ratio control, as well as two HDMI 1.3 with Deep Colour inputs. Planar (which means flat) mapping doesn’t count on the size of the face; it’s like a projector making the screen bigger without converting the projection size. Planar texture mapping works well with flat surfaces.

Planar Systems is engaged in developing, manufacturing and marketing electronic display products, 3 megapixel monitor and systems. The company’s products include display components, completed displays, display systems and software dependent on a range of flat panel and projection applied sciences.
