SAN JOSE, CA UNITED STATES
    SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Aurora Systems announced
today the introduction of a new line of liquid crystal on silicon products
designed for mobile projection applications. Designed to meet challenging
size, power and image requirements, these products are ideally suited for
embedding in cellular phones and other converged devices.

    The inaugural LAZR IMAGR is a single panel color field sequential
device with VGA resolution. The active array of the imager has a 4.5 mm
diagonal on a die size of only 5.2 mm by 7.5 mm. Patented image processing
and fast response liquid crystal combine to provide 24 bit image quality at
relatively low bandwidth. The LAZR DRIVR is designed to drive both VGA and
SVGA resolution panels. Proprietary advances in image processing enable
memory to be embedded in the driver chip to limit total chipset power
consumption.

    "Improvements in display methodology will drive consumer demand for
mobile content and generate new revenue streams for service providers. The
physical size limitation of direct view displays in portable devices and
cellular handsets are pushing manufacturers to look for alternative display
solutions such as embedded projectors," said Jeffrey Saake, CEO and
President of Aurora Systems. "Aurora's solution meets critical market
requirements for the embedded projector."

    Aurora will continue to offer three panel solutions for home theater
projection systems. The latest single panel, color field sequential devices
enables Aurora to offer a liquid crystal on silicon platform from single
panel devices for mobile viewing to high resolution, three panel devices
for high definition home theater applications. A new logo and revised web
site will be announced to support the new product introduction.
