Sony Display Products Brief Overview
Projection Technology Update New Projector Specification Multiple Manufactures using including Epson and Sony Visual performance measurement Improving Projector Technology Cost of Ownership Improving Longevity
New Projector Specification “Color Light Output” Projector Specifications… Quantifying visual perception Brightness Resolution Contrast Ratio Projectors built to meet a spec... not overall image “fidelity”
White Brightness X Current Brightness specification only measurers the maximum level of White http://www.cis.rit.edu/fairchild/PDFs/PAP23.pdf
However, this reduces Color performance. 1-Chip DLP™ Technology To offset the loss of light, DLP makers use a white segment to boost lumens. However, this reduces Color performance. Projection Lens Optics Lamp Single DMD Color Wheel
1-Chip DLP™ Technology Size of the white segment determines the White lumens specification. But…at the expense of Color performance! Projection Lens Optics Lamp Single DMD Color Wheel

Sony’s New Imager Technology
LCD Improvements New Optical Component Technology Improved Video Performance Improved Optical efficiency Improved Longevity
Improved Picture Quality Narrower cell gaps as low as 12 um Previous generation 3 times as much Smoother image much less screen door
Improved Optical Efficiency More light on the screen with less lamp power Use smaller lamps …less expensive lamps Use Less electricity Produce less heat TCO is less
Improved Optical Efficiency Consider this VPL-FX41 5200lms 275w lamp 18.9 lumens per watt VPL-PX40 3500lms 265w lamp 13.2 lumens per watt Panasonic PTD5700 6000 lms 300W(2) lamp 10 lumens per watt
Improved Optical Efficiency Reduces Lamp replacement cost over Projector life Reduces power requirements Reduces heat output
What wears out on a Projector??? “Optical Block” LCD Panels & Polarizers Usually blue channel first UV energy and Heat cause chemical change to organic material Think Sunburn IN Conventional optic system Panels have organic based substrate Polarizers are organic based

1. Selling Points High-end application with 2K resolution and 2 lamp Stylish round design provide sophisticated installation Installation flexibility rich function & accessory we have a lot of features. Sales appeal points are summarized 3 points. 1.High-end application. We can propose to high-end application by High specification. Broadcast and Video meeting as well as auditorium and board room, and so on. 2. Stylish round design=== [pursue functional beauty & environmental harmony] . 3. Installation Flexibility=== .a lot of seamless 5 lens and easy maintenance.
High Specification – High Brightness Newly developed Optical unit 2Lamp system Inorganic pre-polarizer BrightEra panel For this category, high brightness is requested. This request is solved by a newly developing optical unit. ===At first, 2Lamp system. ===Next, Inorganic pre-polarizer and BrightEra panel. ===By new developing optical unit, 7000lm and 6000lm are achieved. BrightEra technology, Higher Brightness and Contrast Improvement. ==We propose F300 series for demand of higher brightness.
2. Installation Flexibility Power Lens Shift Vertical shift (side view H.shift=0) Horizontal shift (top view) H Shift : 1/10 H V Shift : 0 – 3/5V Shift : 3/5 V (Ceiling installation) 1H 1/10 V + 1/2 V 1V Shift : 0 In the function about the lens, F300 series have a lot of good features. The vertical direction on the screen is defined as V.1V means one screen.H is also similar. For the first time in BPJ Projectors, ===V shift is possible to move more than a half of V at the H.shift equal 0. This means that the projector is possible to be installed at the higher position from the top of the screen. This is improved easiness to set up, and leads to the expansion of the place that can be set up. H shift is one tenth.These are big selling points. Screen center & Lens center Screen center & Lens center & Set center Shift : 3/5 V (floor installation) Can be higher than screen top
