Collinear Corporation is developing revolutionary solid state RGB light sources to replace the last remaining analog component in projection systems. Utilizing semiconductor lasers and non-linear optics technology, the Company’s high efficiency illumination modules will enable projection system manufacturers to offer fully digital products.

Collinear’s solid state light source replaces existing lamp technology and eliminates expensive illumination optics, to deliver an optimal combination of performance and cost. The Collinear illuminator will offer superior lifetime, increased efficiency, digital modulation and improved color rendition vs. existing lamp solutions.

Collinear was founded in December 2004 by veterans of the optics, photonics, semiconductor, and consumer electronics industries and is funded by Tallwood Venture Capital, Allegis Capital and Narra Venture Capital.
