History

Established in 2002,[2] the word Optoma was created from the combination of two words: Optical and Maxima. In its first year, Optoma launched world’s first 65-inch DLP projection television[3] and won the Consumer Electronics Show Innovations Award in 2003.[4] In 2005, Optoma announced the world's first all-in-one DVD projector, the MovieTime™[5] DV10.[6] An ultra-mobile LED light source projector range (ML750/ML1000)[7] as well as Optoma's first laser phosphor technology illuminated projector (ZU650)[8] was announced in 2013 and 2015 respectively. Infocomm 2016 (Las Vegas) saw the announcement of the world's first 4K UHD ultra short throw laser projector from Optoma.[9] Utilizing Texas Instruments' DLP projection technology,[10] Optoma is a designer and manufacturer for home, business, education, and professional display solutions.

In 2014, Optoma acquired California-based NuForce, a manufacturer of consumer and Hi-Res Certified audio equipment.[11] It was one of the first companies to bring audiophile quality desktop DACs and headphone amplifiers to the market[12] and one of the first companies to bring patented class-D amplifiers to the market.[13] 2016 saw the launch of the wireless Bluetooth, aluminum build BE6i in-ear headphones that offered extended battery life into Optoma's consumer audio line.[14]
