Sanyo's prototype projector delivers big, bright images

16.04.2009
Sanyo Electric has unveiled a short-throw laser projector that can display a 100-inch high-definition image that's brighter and has more vivid colors than anything else on the market, it said this week.

The prototype projector builds on Sanyo's ultra-short focus technology that makes use of a large diameter aspheric lens and high-precision aspheric mirror to project a large image from a short distance. The company already has a short-throw projector on the market, the , but that uses a conventional lamp as its light source and manages an 80-inch image over just 8 centimeters with a brightness of 2,700 lumens.

Compared to these specifications, the prototype is in an altogether different class.
