Yesterday marketed a very important point in history. Yesterday was the day that 3LCD display technology turned 20 years old. The first projector ever feature a 3LCD display was the Epson VPJ-700 and it featured only 100 ANSI lumens, a 100:1 contrast ratio, and a 320 x 220 resolution that is worse than most modern cell phones. The display technology has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Now you have projectors like the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 6500 UB that features full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, 1600 ANSI lumens, and a 75000:1 contrast ratio. “The impact of 3LCD technology on the projector industry has been nothing short of revolutionary. 3LCD’s ability to deliver brilliant, natural color and amazing detail to consumers and professionals alike has dramatically advanced virtually every business and entertainment projector application,” said Rajeev Mishra, director, Projector Marketing and Development, Epson America. “The 20-year anniversary of 3LCD is an opportunity to showcase its tremendous value and to focus on its leadership in continuing to move this industry forward. As the number-one selling projector brand worldwide and the leading developer of 3LCDs, Epson is proud to offer this technology throughout its entire business and home entertainment projection line-up.” Click the link below to see a full timeline of 3LCD technology.
