New high lumen density LED engine technology yields dramatically improved image quality.
The new projector employs Hitachi’s newly developed LED optics platform featuring an exclusive crystal-based engine with HLD – High Lumen Density technology to achieve more than 3,000 lumens brightness and, more importantly, approximately 20,000 hours of expected operating hours without any lamp exchange as well as a significant leap forward in image quality.
The company positions its LED platform as the core solutions of SSL for sub 5,000 lumens categories and plans to rollout multiple models with the LED optics platform to capture the growing demands for low total cost of ownership beginning in Q1/2016. The company believes LED is a more suitable choice of Solid State Lighting technology because LED is a more common and reliable technology to be used in daily life.
At the core of the projector is Hitachi’s newly developed crystal-based engine with HLD – High Lumen Density technology. HLD utilizes blue LEDs that illuminate into a crystal rod, where the blue light is changed to green and discharged from the rod. This light source operates in tandem with a high-brightness red LED and a high-brightness blue LED with Hitachi original high efficient illumination optical system to achieve over 3,000 lumens brightness and a 20,000:1 contrast ratio.
