Epson has announced it will this year launch a lineup of 3LCD business projectors with a laser-light source. The projectors, which include the world’s first-ever 25,000-lumen 3LCD projector, are also the first to include inorganic 3LCD panels with a laser light source including an inorganic phosphor wheel.
Thanks to Epson’s newly developed laser light source and proprietary 3LCD technology, the new lineup will offer customers outstanding performance, and includes a 4K-compatible lens and the world’s first zero offset ultra-short throw lens. Confirming Epson’s commitment to the high-brightness segment, the new projectors are the result of sustained research and development. Offering mind-blowing image quality, reliability and flexibility, the lineup will include seven models ranging from 25,000 to 6,000-lumens. Epson will announce full product specifications later in the year, and there are plans for the projectors to be launched within Southeast Asia by this year.
Epson has in recent years steadily increased its lineup of projectors in this class for applications including large exhibition rooms, concert halls and outdoor signage. The high-lumen projector market is forecast to grow by 125% by 2020, and the company is continuing to invest heavily in developing technologies and products to meet those expanding needs.
“We are delighted to announce Epson’s first ever 3LCD laser projectors for business,” said Siew Jin Kiat, Regional General Manager, Epson Visual Instruments Division. “Not only do these products offer customers the outstanding value and performance you would expect from the global projector market leader, but they demonstrate Epson’s firm and ongoing commitment to the high-lumen market. We are confident that these high-brightness projectors will fully demonstrate the quality and other benefits that Epson brings to the market, and will continue to expand our lineup of 3LCD projectors tailored precisely to meet the needs of customers in this segment.”
The advantages of Epson’s new lineup of 3LCD laser projectors are as follows:
Image quality
With a highly efficient light source, Epson’s 3LCD laser projectors are well suited for large venues such as auditoriums and concert halls. Using Epson’s proprietary 3LCD technology, the new projectors are capable of reproducing spectacular images with outstanding levels of color brightness.
Reliability
Epson’s original LCD panels and phosphor wheel are made of inorganic material with superior light and heat resistance. Combining these in a laser projector results in bright, vibrant images for extremely long periods, and 20,000 hours of maintenance-free use*5.
Flexibility
Epson’s lineup of 3LCD laser projectors is designed for every venue and application. Rotating 360 degrees and fully tiltable, a large variety of lenses ensures that these projectors can be installed in a wide variety of locations for projection mapping, signage and a host of other applications.
