According to JVC, the new projector features the following:
Native contrast ratio of 15,000:1; true black reproduction without an iris mechanism.
New 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA device with a device contrast ratio of 20,000:1.
Combined with a new optical engine, the projector achieves a contrast ratio of
15,000:1, the industry’s highest without the use of an iris.
The new 0.7-in. full HD D-ILA device exhibits a significant reduction in stray light
caused by, among other factors, the dispersion, and diffraction of reflected light. JVC
decreased orientation irregularities by flattening the gaps between pixels, adopted
improved liquid crystals, and used new orientation technologies. This enabled the
device to achieve a device contrast ratio of 20,000:1.
At CES 2007, the projector was demonstrated side by side with the Sony Pearl (with
the dynamic Iris in auto) and the JVC looked superior in picture quality, the blacks
were much deeper and color depth was also better. On the left is the team that
performed the demonstration.
The new optical engine uses wire grid polarizers to improve the precision of light
polarization, preventing light leakage into the projection lens, thus allowing the
closest to true black reproduction.
Flexible setup enabled by high
performance 2x zoom lens and
front fan intake and exhaust, the
projection lens features a large
diameter, all-glass lens with 16
elements in 13 groups made by
Fujinon Corporation that
significantly reduces chromatic
aberration and ensures a high
resolution picture, with every point
on the screen perfectly in focus.
The projection system features a
±80% vertical and ±34%
horizontal lens shift function,
allowing a wide range of placement
flexibility for either ceiling, tabletop or on a shelf.
