Using tech developed by TI and <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/LuminusDevices/">Luminus Devices</a>, Delta says it's ready to go with a full-size 1080p projector with "PhlatLight" LEDs pumping out the lumens, which of course means an end to futzing around with burnt-out projector bulbs right in the middle of your feature presentation. No doubt, we're seeing LEDs show up in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/epoq-egp-pp01-kirf-projector-phone-now-shipping/">all</a> <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/led/">manner</a> of display devices, and if LED-lamped projector prices follow a trajectory like LED-backlit LCDs, we'd be happy campers indeed.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.aboutprojectors.com/news/2008/08/29/delta-announces-worlds-first-led-hd-projector/">About Projectors</a>]<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.deltaww.com/press/press_detail.asp?id=230#">Read</a> - Delta Electronics first LED HD projector<br /> <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/email/headlines/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsLang=en&div=1162103412&newsId=20080829005524">Read</a> - Luminus and TI develop lamp-free tech<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/delta-calls-first-on-led-based-dlp-projector-with-a-little-hel/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1299653/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/delta-calls-first-on-led-based-dlp-projector-with-a-little-hel/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
