Epson announced today volume production of 0.96 inch (2.54 cm diagonal) high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT panels for 3LCD front projectors that are compatible with SXGA+. Using the latest D7 design process for higher aperture ratios will allow for both SXGA+ resolution in addition to a brightness increase. These panels also use light-resistant liquid crystal for greater light resistance. The annual rate of projector sales is expected to increase at approximately 15 percent due to the demand of higher resolution and wider displays. The D7 technology has increased aperture ratio to 77 percent and because of this increase the 0.96-inch SXGA+ panel previously achieving 3,000 to 3,500 Lumens, now achieves 4,000 to 5,000 Lumens. This increase in projection technology will satisfy the market needs for such resolution and will provide further insight into light resistance.
