DISPLAY: At Booth #342, OSRAM demonstrations will include:

        --  Golden DRAGON(R) ARGUS(R) -- provides homogenous
            backlighting and large display areas with perfect color
            balances.

        --  Micro SIDELED(R) -- are side lookers, which are available
            in three different heights (0.6 mm, 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm) and
            enables their use in notebook and automotive applications.

        --  OSRAM's compact OSTAR(R) LED solutions -- for projection
            and rear-projection television (RPTV) applications.

        --  The company's largest and longer-life OLED Pictiva(TM)
            solution - designed as a viable alternative to
            conventional LCD screens. The offering ranges from
            0.8-inch, 96x16 dot to 3.3-inch, 288x48 dot OLED display
            modules.

        --  Infrared (IR) LED Sensors -- being utilized as detectors,
            emitters and optical sensors for applications, including
            TV remote controls and tilt sensing and ambient light
            sensing for cell phones with cameras.

        --  New innovations in phosphor technology, the key ingredient
            to all lighting.
