Laser Focus World publishes Dr Euan Smith's article

Product development expert, physicist and managing consultant, Dr Euan Smith, has had his article on Gamut Rings published.

Dr Euan Smith is Head of Systems & Photonics at 42T, and an expert on everything to do with display technology as he is an optical physicist by training.

In his article, Euan uses a chromaticity plot to describe how colour capability is a relic of cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays and is no longer valid. He goes on to discuss how the Gamut Ring plot is the new standard and should always be used, especially for laser displays.

Read about Euan's review paper on the subject presented at this year's Display Week event in Silicon Valley here.

More about Euan

He has taken a varied path over 25 years of commercially facing technology development and technical leadership, mostly within start-ups, and occasionally hunched in the back of a clean-room in China trying to get the production process to work. He is an author on over 40 patent families, more than 160 patents in total, across diverse technical areas.

Euan still publishes the occasional paper and is a contributing author to optoelectronic handbooks, and an international speaker on this, and other subjects. His article was also recently featured in Startups Survival Guide of 2024/5.

He has enjoyed challenges from nano-scale photonics to system-level display design, image processing on restricted embedded systems, through to full-stack web-app development, always while balancing the competing requirements of customers and the limits of technology.
