"The LiveLens solves the most persistent and fundamental problem of
photography - detail loss through over or under exposure.
The LiveLens instantly reacts to the luminance of the subject, partially
blocking light in the brighter areas. This vastly expands the recording capacity
of all types of digital and film cameras, enabling them to capture all detail.
The LiveLens combines established semiconductor and LCD manufacturing to form
a unique electro optical device containing photo-sensitive and Liquid Crystal elements.
Over 80 LiveLens devices are contained on this transparent wafer (above) manufactured
for Live Technologies at X-FAB semiconductor, Germany. The wafers are inspected and
tested prior to conversion to liquid crystal cells. This LiveLens prototype (above right) was
converted from the semiconductor wafer into individual liquid crystal cells at
the Liquid Crystal Institute Advanced Materials Department, Kent State University, Ohio USA.
Live Technologies holds US patent 5,953,082 and other international patents for the LiveLens technology."
"High Definition Video is fast becoming the new cinema quality format.
LiveLens contrast control can provide latitude and creative possibilities never
before possible for this format. Eliminating the need to set up bulky and costly
lighting equipment to 'fill' shadow areas of a scene by using the LiveLens can
present significant production budget savings, particulary for location shooting
where lighting and power supply are difficult."
"For both digital and filmformat SLR cameras, LiveLens contrast control can provide
latitude and creative possibilities never before possible. LiveLens can improve
the technical quality of an image capture, but beyond that, the scope for creative
possibilities is profound. For professional photographers and amateur enthusiasts,
the LiveLens can eliminate the need to set up bulky and costly lighting
equipment to 'fill' shadow areas of a scene."
