HGRM Introduces Digital Hologram Technology And Makes Corrections
To Previous Press Release
MIAMI, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Holographic Dimensions, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: HGRM) announced today that it has
completed the research, development, and prototyping of its Direct Digital Holographic Printer (DDHP) and has now
constructed the first commercial device incorporating the new technology to service the holographic industry. The Company will
initially offer master hologram-origination services incorporating the DDHP technology.
Digital hologram technology, also called Dot Matrix holography, has been particularly successful in the packaging market, with
Coors, Pepsi, and Colgate Palmolive incorporating dot matrix hologram technology in the packaging design of a variety of
consumer products. In the security market segment the technology provides for an additional level of forensic security. Digital
holograms are now commonplace elements in sophisticated security hologram imagery.
Dot Matrix holography involves the holographic rendering of a computer image pixel by pixel. The Company began to actively
R&D dot matrix holography and, in conjunction with Advanced Digital Holographics, Inc. was the first to develop Dot Matrix
holography in the 1980s.
The new HDI technology provides for several key advantages over other similar technologies:
Accelerated Write Speed - Conventional digital holograms are written at speeds lower than 15 dots per second. A
conventional one-inch square digital hologram, with 2,000 dots per inch (DPI) resolution, will take 65 hours to produce. This
slow write speed has been a limiting factor in the broader use of the technology in the hologram marketplace. The new HGRM
DDHP technology writes the same image at a speed of 600 dots per second in less than two hours. This quantum leap in speed
provides for the ability to create much larger images in shorter periods of time increasing the utility of the technology in a broad
range of applications from packaging to security.
Increased Resolution - Conventional digital holograms cannot produce image resolutions greater than 2,000 DPI. The HGRM
DDHP system can produce images in excess of 10,000 DPI with security features, in the next generation machine under
development, as small as 35,000 DPI providing for the highest degree of security and image resolution potential.
Increased Versatility and Production Economies - Conventional hologram laboratories incorporate different recording
geometries and equipment to produce 2 Dimensional holograms, 3 dimensional holograms, holographic stereograms, and dot
matrix type holograms. In each case highly trained laboratory technicians are employed in the origination of the hologram. The
HGRM DDHP system is versatile and can synthesize all of the conventional types of holograms with a single machine. Because
it is computer controlled it can be utilized on a 24-hour basis providing for the most efficient production economies.
According to Kevin G. Brown, President & CEO, ``This technology represents the state-of-the-art in holographic optical
imaging and the Company's commitment to position itself as the technological leader in the holographic industry. Because our
DDHP technology provides for increases in speed, resolution, brightness, image quality, and production economies, it is clearly
the technology of choice when compared to others in the market.'
According to Dr. Vitali Prisacar, Optical Engineer and Inventor of the technology, ``The level of sophistication of the
Company's R&D facilities allowed me to not only develop the technology but to actually build the equipment and program the
first production machine completely in house. I look forward to working with HGRM to develop medical, security, compact
disk manufacturing, and other exciting applications for this technology and others.'
In the press release titled ``Lippmann OVD Technology To Be Featured At Spie Photonics West Conference,' issued by the
Company on January 24, 2000, the template for the press release included an error, referencing Holographic Dimensions, Inc.
as (OTC Bulletin Board: HGRM - news). The press release template should have referenced the Company as (OTC Pink
Sheets: HGRM).
