Epson Develops New HTPS Panels for 3LCD Digital Cinema Projectors
- TOKYO, Japan, February 13, 2006 -
Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") has developed the first high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT liquid crystal panels for 3LCD digital cinema front projectors. Featuring D4 technology, the new 1.6-inch panels produce 2048 x 1080 pixel resolution. Shipment of samples has begun.
The cinema market is said to encompass more than 100,000 screens worldwide, and as digital content becomes ever more common the process of digitization is gaining speed in the cinema industry. Since the formulation of specifications by Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a group comprising the major Hollywood film distributors, resolution of 4K x 2K or 2K x 1K has become the standard for digital cinema. This series of products targets the digital cinema business with HTPS panels conforming to the 2K x 1K DCI standard. Epson's high performance HTPS panels enable faithful reproduction of digital cinema content with high picture quality. Based on the 1080 pixel 1.6 inch HTPS in the existing D4 series, the new product achieves high 2K x 1K resolution to meet DCI standards on the same screen size.
Features of the newly developed HTPS D4 series:
1. Resolution suitable for digital cinema
2048 x 1080 pixels (conforms to DCI standards)
2. Compatible with 1.6" 1080P wide series
Sample specifications
Technology D4
Effective pixels 2048 x 1080
Panel size (diagonal) 1.6 inch (4.2 cm)
Pixel pitch 18µm

New Epson HTPS Panels for 3LCD Projectors to Include Inorganic Alignment Layer

- TOKYO, Japan, May 24, 2005 -
Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") has developed new high temperature poly-silicon (HTPS) panel technology incorporating an inorganic alignment layer for use in 3LCD projectors. In addition to maintaining the bright images achieved in existing D series panels, this technology dramatically enhances aperture ratios, definition, and image quality to enable the development of projectors offering an even more realistic HDTV experience. Reflecting the crystal clear images made possible by this new inorganic alignment layer HTPS technology, Epson has called it "Crystal Clear Fine (C2 Fine)."
Given growing demand for corporate presentations, increasing use of IT in the educational sector, rising sales of data projectors, and a home projection market with rapidly emerging needs for home theater and large-screen TV applications, the new C2 Fine technology has been developed to make 3LCD projector images even brighter, more natural, and easier on the eye, as well as meeting market demands for products with higher aperture ratios, definition, and picture quality.
Use of this technology in projectors and large-screen projection TVs will boost performance in the following areas.
Key points of improved picture quality with inorganic alignment technology
1. Vastly improved contrast (several times existing levels)
2. Superb alignment
3. Enhanced reproduction of dark colors (capable of reproducing jet black)
Production schedule
This technology will be used in products starting from 2006.
Building on its track record in business-use data projectors, Epson has developed a full lineup of products featuring a new dimension in picture quality for the home theater market. The new HTPS technology will be used in various product types, and continuing development efforts will lead to even higher performance levels in the future.
Demonstrations
To allow viewers to actually experience these more realistic images for themselves, a large-screen projection TV featuring the new technology will be on display at the Infocomm 2005 exposition to be held in Las Vegas, United States, from June 8 to 10. Another demonstration will be conducted at CEATEC 2005 in Japan from October
