With very impressive specs and a small environmental footprint, Laser projector technology illuminates a bright future. JVC has already announced their 8K projector (this means approximately 8000 x 8000 resolution or similar equivalent). The unit will also have 3D capability at 4K x 4K resolution. Can you imagine watching ultra high quality HD content in 3D?
Check out some of these proposed specs:
General
• Resolution 32 Megapixel (8192 x 4096)
• Brightness 5000 ANSI Lumens (model ESLP8K-5)
2000 ANSI Lumens (model ESLP8K-2)
• Contrast Ratio 2500:1
• Color Precision 36 bits/pixel (12 bits each, red/green/blue)
nanopixel Modulator
• Integrated silicon light valve based on MEMS technology
• Draws all pixels within an entire column (up to 4K) simultaneously
• Each nanopixel chip has over 8000 precisely controlled reflective elements
• One nanopixel chip per primary color (red, green, blue)
• Response time (full-on to full-off): < 200 nanoseconds
• Zero smearing of moving images (zero persistence)
• No visible boundaries between pixels
E&S Laser Light Sources
• Second-generation hybrid lasers based on solid-state diode technology
• Do not require regular maintenance or replacement (lifetime in excess of 30K
hours)
• Expanded color space (200% of NTSC/HDTV)
• Combines patented E&S direct conversion diode-pumped solid-state highpower
lasers with NECSEL™ laser diode bar devices
