A screen radiant and robust for business settings such as conference room, lobby, TV studio and beyond.

KLCOB’s black surface coating brings amazing black consistency improving the visual performance to an unprecedented level for greater viewer immersion but without the glare and reflection. The non-glare surface light source brings a softer and more uniform light to relieve the eye fatigue experienced when watching the screen for a long time.

Absen’s image optimization enhances visuals

The KLCOB integrates multiple Absen image optimization technologies for realistic and incredible images enhanced in clarity and visibility: HDR 10, stunning 15000:1 contrast with 600Nits maximum brightness, 1.07 billion colours and cinema level color gamut at DCI-P3. An ultra-high refresh rate of 120Hz and 22-bit greyscale transitions, combine with 3840Hz operation for perfect low moiré in-camera performance suitable for TV studios and lecture halls.

Super strong and stays cool for breathtaking immersion

It’s full energy saving potential is achieved through a combination of four technological innovations, which reduce energy consumption by forty percent compared to traditional screens under the same conditions. KLCOB practices the “Absen Green” concept.

“Absen will promote the innovation and development of the technology and products,” concluded Jessica, “and together with global partners, accelerate the widespread application of Micro LED display.”

Inventec’s O-RAN convention showcases 5G smart factory applications with a supply chain alliance

TAIPEI, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Leveraging its strength in cloud infrastructure, leading server contract manufacturer Inventec (2356) continues to invest in developing 5G smart factory applications with O-RAN technology and actively collaborates with supply chain partners to continue to grow the 5G vertical ecosystem from a system integration perspective. In the O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) Alliance’s 2022 Spring Plugfest convention held in late June in Taiwan, hosted by Auray’s Open Test and Integration Center (OTIC) and Security Lab, Inventec unveiled for the first time its plans for the Taoyuan server manufacturing plant, including “industrial environment safety,” “quality yield,” and “machine surveillance/maintenance and troubleshooting” and other critical requirements. They demonstrated how the 5G open architecture can significantly reduce the complexity of deployment and subsequent maintenance costs to address the need for sustainable upgrades in the technology of the automated smart factory and also presented the test data results of “industrial environmental safety “E-Gate”, “AI face recognition”, “fall detection”, “AR smart surveillance” and “MR Human-machine remote collaboration” through the integration from the system level to the device level.

Inventec's 5G smart factory applications at this year's O-RAN Plugfest Convention
Inventec’s 5G smart factory applications at this year’s O-RAN Plugfest Convention

In the AI computer vision application, Inventec has achieved throughput up to 800Mbps uplink and 200Mbps downlink with less than 18ms latency and 0.004% packet loss rate through 5G video transmission for E-Gate, face recognition, and fall detection, achieving the required application stability and over 90% recognition success rate. In a wireless mobile application, it has reached a 99.9% ~ 100% handover success rate in a test area of 80 meter-width when the end device is moving with velocity of  one meter per second. In the tests, Inventec also found that reliable GNSS (GPS) signals contributed significantly to the stability of 5G network quality, and that the brand of the terminal device had a much greater impact on performance stability changes in end-to-end tests than the base station.

According to Evan Chien, Senior Director of the Cloud and Communications Solution at Inventec, our participation in the “E2E service experience for Industry IoT” test at this year’s O-RAN Plugfest event signifies that Inventec already has system integration capabilities that can implement open 5G private network architectures in real world. “Inventec will continue to optimize the end-to-end solution with the test data obtained from live cases in the test, and share the successful deployment experience to more field partners through construction service, maintenance and technical consultancy.” 

Inventec is actively involved in the 5G private network market. In addition to developing its own brand base station, Inventec is also playing the role of system integrator for the first time, to integrate from information technology (IT), communication technology (CT) to operation technology (OT), with Microsoft, Altran, PTC, Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek, CYLTEK, NexAIoT, NYCU, O’Prueba, AIMobile, Besta, ioNetworks, PowerArena, Geoforce and other eco-partners in the 5G manufacturing vertical, and promoting complete end-to-end 5G enterprise network solutions for users in the manufacturing industry through testing and validation at its own server manufacturing facility in Taoyuan.

By participating in O-RAN activities and operations, Inventec has completed assembly line level verification in the 5G smart factory field in the first half of 2022, and will provide 5G end-to-end solutions for the manufacturing industry to achieve the goal of digital transformation. In addition to O-RAN end-to-end service experience tests  in the real 5G field, Inventec plans to conduct more 5G O-RAN application integration testing plans through the 5G open lab deployment in the second half of the year to complete the integrations from lab to field, from a single device to end-to-end application, and continue to work on 5G smart factory solutions. Inventec will invite more eco-partners to participate in the integration test and join the vertical domain to move towards the new blue ocean of the 5G industry.

About Inventec
Since its founding in 1975, Inventec has grown from an early manufacturer of computers and telephones to a leading design manufacturer of notebooks, servers, and wireless communication products. With the advent of the 5G generation, Inventec will expand its capabilities in 5G private network system integration and architecture, transforming its world-class manufacturing facilities into 5G smart factories.

“TOP GUN: MAVERICK” Becomes Highest Grossing Film of All Time for CJ 4DPLEX Formats

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — CJ 4DPLEX, the world’s leading producer of premium film formats and cinema technologies, announced today that Paramount Pictures’ “Top Gun: Maverick” has surpassed $50 million in box office sales in the company’s premier theater formats 4DX and the visually immersive, 270-degree panoramic ScreenX.  

The combined business from CJ 4DPLEX’s two premium experiences have contributed 4% of the overall box office for the summer blockbuster across its combined 681 screens worldwide. The company has been rapidly growing their global footprint, especially with ScreenX where the focus has been to open more flagship PLF locations in key territories around the world. 

“Top Gun: Maverick” in ScreenX provided 58 minutes of exclusive ScreenX imagery – the most ScreenX content ever to be produced for a ScreenX feature film. ScreenXʼs peripheral three-screen design allows audiences to take in majestic views, feel the rush of flying and puts them right in the middle of the climatic jet fighting scenes with Maverick and his crew. CJ 4DPLEX worked closely with “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joe Kosinski and Paramount Pictures to ensure the highest quality presentation of the film and selected key scenes and exclusive imagery for the ScreenX version. 

The 4DX immersive theatre technology enhances the on-screen visuals of action-packed blockbusters, transcending the traditional cinema experience through special effects including motion-synchronized seats, wind, fog, rain, lightning, snow, bubble, vibration, and scents. The result is one of the most immersive cinema formats in the industry, drawing the Gen Y and Gen Z demographics into the cinemas and off their devices. 

“Thanks to ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ we have seen unprecedented box office numbers for 4DX and ScreenX that are consistently breaking records worldwide,” said Jongryul Kim, CEO, CJ 4DPLEX. “We look forward to continuing the momentum as more and more filmmakers see the value in our premium theatre formats and how they enhance the overall viewing experience.” 

 “We want to thank Tom Cruise, Joe Kosinski, Jerry Bruckheimer and everyone at Paramount Pictures for creating a film that has reinvigorated the movie theatre experience and reminded audiences what it’s like to see an epic movie.” said Don Savant, CEO & President, CJ 4DPLEX America. “Together we have proven that our two formats offer a truly unique experience that can only be appreciated in a movie theatre.”

 Some highlights across the combined CJ4DPLEX network:

  • The film performed exceptionally well in CJ 4DPLEX’s ScreenX premium flagship locations such as B&B Theater’s Liberty, MO location which has delivered over $320,000 to date and CGV Korea’s new PLF location at Yeongdeunpo in Seoul, Korea bringing in $257,000 since releasing in Korea on June 22nd.
  • In the U.S., “Top Gun: Maverick” in ScreenX and 4DX is the highest grossing title to date with over $11 million in box office across both formats.
  • In Korea, “Top Gun: Maverick” is the highest grossing title since the pandemic with $6.7M across both formats.
  • In Taiwan, “Top Gun: Maverick in 4DX is the highest grossing title to date, with $1.4 million across five 4DX screens, recording $276K per screen, and 60 days into the release, it is still recording 50%+ occupancy.
  • The 4DXScreen auditorium (a combination of 4DX with ScreenX) at Grand Cinema Sunshine in Tokyo grossed over $430K to date, the highest during the pandemic for any Hollywood film, recording 80%+ occupancy over 59 days.

Director Joseph Kosinski stated “Tom, Jerry, and I are obsessed with telling stories that need to be experienced on the big screen. We designed ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ to be seen in theaters and the ScreenX and 4DX versions create an experience that are completely unique. Working with the team at CJ 4DPLEX, I was thrilled that we were able to use the side camera footage from our six camera cockpit array to fill out both wings of the ScreenX format with real photography. The result is a totally immersive version of our film that can’t be replicated anywhere else.”

“Paramount Pictures was thrilled to feature ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ in ScreenX and 4DX, both of which provided a unique premium experience for movie fans to experience the film in different ways and we look forward to continuing to utilize the technology CJ 4DPLEX can provide on future films,” said Marc Weinstock, President of Worldwide Marketing & Distribution, Paramount Pictures. 

CJ 4DPLEX’s combined network is now the second largest premium theater network in the world.  With films like Paramount Pictures’ “Top Gun: Maverick,” the premium marketplace will continue to grow in importance as exhibitors differentiate the movie theatre experience from home viewing. 

“Top Gun: Maverick” is currently playing in select locations around the globe in ScreenX and 4DX theatres.

About “Top Gun: Maverick”

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”. Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
