JMGO Set to Ace Laser Projection with MALC™ 2.0 Triple Laser Optics at IFA 2024

Setting new standards for the projector industry with epic brightness, contrast, and color reproduction—achieved all at once

JMGO Set to Ace Laser Projection with MALC™ 2.0 Triple Laser Optics at IFA 2024

JMGO Set to Ace Laser Projection with MALC™ 2.0 Triple Laser Optics at IFA 2024

BERLIN, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  JMGO, a pioneer in optical technology, will showcase its in-house developed MALC™ (Microstructure Adaptive Laser Control) 2.0 Triple Laser Optics at IFA 2024 in Berlin. This innovation is set to redefine laser projection by overcoming the industry’s persistent challenge of achieving high brightness, contrast, and color simultaneously.

Laser technology is renowned for delivering unmatched brightness and color over LED and lamp-based systems. However, the trade-off between brightness, contrast, and color has been a significant hurdle for both laser and hybrid laser/LED projectors. Typically, increasing brightness reduces contrast and oversaturates colors, while prioritizing color often results in lower brightness, compromising the overall viewing experience.

JMGO’s MALC™ 2.0 Triple Laser Optics breaks this barrier, enabling the N1S Series projectors to deliver up to 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness while simultaneously maintaining an impressive 1,600:1 FOFO contrast ratio and covering 110% of BT.2020 with Δ<1 color accuracy. This means viewers can enjoy lifelike imagery with brilliant brightness, deep contrast, and precise color reproduction—without any compromise in picture quality.

Incorporating nine patented technologies, the MALC™ 2.0 laser engine also enhances brightness uniformity, reduces laser speckles, and improves optical efficiency—all while significantly lowering production costs. These innovations will be detailed during the press event on September 7 at 2:00 PM.

“The MALC™ 2.0 Triple Laser Optics embodies our relentless drive to overcome the industry’s toughest challenges,” said Forrest Li, CEO of JMGO. “As the ace of laser projection, we’re always at the forefront of R&D breakthroughs, setting new standards by delivering premium viewing experiences with uncompromised picture quality.”

At booth H20-104, Messe Berlin, JMGO will also debut its new MALC™ 2.0-powered projectors, including the flagship N1S Ultimate 4K. Attendees can experience these groundbreaking innovations firsthand and participate in interactive activities like the 120S Color Challenge and Space of Imagination, designed to showcase the unique strengths of MALC™ 2.0.

About JMGO
Since 2011, JMGO has been committed to delivering immersive large-screen experiences with portability and versatility. Integrating functional design and high-quality entertainment, JMGO strives to build an industry-first all-in-one home entertainment ecosystem that encompasses terminal, content, platform, and software for a global market.

Le Premier ministre de Saxe, Michael Kretschmer, a ajouté : « L’agrandissement du site de Nikkiso à Wurzen est un investissement à long terme qui témoigne de l’attractivité de la Saxe en tant que site d’implantation pour les investisseurs internationaux. Le doublement de la capacité de production est un vote de confiance dont nous pouvons être fiers. Grâce à cette décision, Nikkiso occupera une place importante dans l’économie de l’hydrogène sur laquelle la Saxe souhaite s’appuyer au cours des prochaines décennies. Je suis ravi, qu’ensemble, nous renforcions cette coopération dans le domaine de l’énergie propre et de l’innovation. C’est une excellente nouvelle pour Wurzen et pour la Saxe en tant que pôle d’activité économique. »

Les opérations de l’installation sont et continueront d’être entièrement alimentées par de l’énergie solaire renouvelable lorsque l’agrandissement sera achevé au cours du premier semestre 2025.

Bill Gates optimistic of progress in TB vaccine clinical trial


Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, says progress is ongoing in the clinical trial of the M72 tuberculosis vaccine, expressing optimism in its offering 70 per cent efficacy.

Gates said this while responding to a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) question during an interview session with selected journalists on Tuesday in Abuja.

The interview was held on the sidelines of the 2024 NutriVision, a pan-African dialogue to discuss transformative solutions to combating malnutrition and shaping Africa’s future.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs and is caused by a type of bacteria.

It spreads through the air when infected people cough, sneeze or spit.

According to the World Health Organisation, 10.6 million people fell ill with TB in 2022 and 1.3 million died, mostly in low- and middle-income countries.

Gates said that tuberculosis was difficult to diagnose, and grossly underfunded, noting that Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) remained a public hea
lth crisis and a health security threat.

‘We have a lot of new drugs. The current drugs, sadly, you’ll have to take them for nine months.

‘And, there’s some TB out there that is drug resistant, either single drug resistant or multi drug resistant.

‘And so, we’re making great progress on the drugs and bringing new drugs in, and as you say, we’re also working on a vaccine.

‘That vaccine trial is going to take like four years. We’re hoping that the vaccine will show like a 70 per cent reduction. We don’t think it’s likely to show a 90 per cent reduction,’ he said.

The co-chair said that the vaccine trial, which would cost $500 million, was done in collaboration with GSK and the Wellcome Trust.

NAN reports that the foundation’s Medical Research Institute (Gates MRI), on March 19, announced a Phase 3 clinical trial to assess the efficacy of the M72/AS01E tuberculosis vaccine.

It said that the vaccine, if shown to be well-tolera
ted and effective, could potentially become the first new TB vaccine in over a century to help prevent pulmonary TB in adolescents and adults.

ing the TB epidemic by 2030 is among the health targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

NAN reports that Gates is visiting Nigeria, as part of the foundation’s ongoing commitment to Africa’s development.

During his short visit, Gates met with national and local leaders, partners, grantees and innovators.

Gates, alongside other foundation leaders, also met with experts in primary health care, agriculture, and nutrition who are driving progress across the continent, despite economic challenges.

He participated in the NutriVision Dialogue with Jon Batiste, a musician, educator and humanitarian.
