Prysm founder, CTO to receive 2016 Adele De Berri Pioneers of AV Award

June 2, 2016

Prysm, a provider of digital and interactive workplace solutions, announced that its founder and CTO, Dr. Roger Hajjar, has won the 2016 Adele De Berri Pioneers of AV Award, according to a company press release. Hajjar will be presented the award in a ceremony preceding the keynote address at InfoComm 2016 in Las Vegas, which will be held June 4-10.

The Adele De Berri Pioneers of AV Award is given annually to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the science of audiovisual experiences.

Hajjar was chosen for his laser phosphor display technology, a display platform that leverages single-wavelength lasers to activate a phosphor screen and create images. LPD overcomes the shortcomings of large-format, indoor display technologies — LCD, DLP and LED — and unlocks new visualization, immersion and engagement opportunities for large displays, the release said.

"Optical Sciences and its applications have intrigued me since I was young. This curiosity has led to the technology that is the foundation of the Prysm portfolio today," Hajjar said. "Our touchscreen large format LPD display technology has enabled organizations around the world to increase their productivity and accelerate their critical decision making every day. I am very honored to see our work in the industry recognized with such a prestigious award, and I would like to thank the entire Prysm team that contributed in bringing this technology to the market."
