Sanyo World’s First 4-LCD Optical Engine Projector

Rich color reproduction while being the brightest projector in its class^*2 – the LP-XP200L

Tokyo, June 18, 2008 – SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) announces a new projector, the LP-XP200L, featuring rich and true color reproduction thanks to the world’s first^*1 4LCD optical engine, the brightest luminance of its class^*2 at 7,000 lumens, and a built-in Active Maintenance Filter (AMF) system with the industry’s longest-use time^*3 for easy maintenance. The new projector will be available in the Japanese market starting from September 24, 2008.

About the new projector and its technology, Dr. Keiichi Yodoshi, SANYO Digital Systems Company Vice President, said, “With the addition of the new ‘Color Control Device’ in the optical engine, the problem typically associated with brighter projectors losing vivid colors is significantly improved upon. Now, with increased demand for projectors with greater brightness, market needs can be answered without sacrificing rich and beautiful color reproduction, in turn allowing sharper, better displays in brighter event halls, large meeting rooms, as well performing magnificently in digital signage and advertising situations.”

This projector will be on display at the InfoComm 2008 Exhibit in Las Vegas from June 18 to June 20 at the SANYO booth in the Central Hall #2848.

Supplemental Background and Specification Information

Outline and Background
- For fiscal year 2008, projector shipments to the global market are estimated to be around 6.4 million units. By 2010, the projector market will expand, due to expected continued growth and expansion (according to company studies), reaching a record-breaking shipment of 8.8 million units.
- As this market expands, the market and use for mid-sized projectors for digital signage (electronic advertising), large meeting or conference rooms as well as large event halls is also expected to increase, and users will want projectors that can cleanly and beautifully project images.
- In answer to these expanding needs, SANYO has created the 4LCD LP-XP200L, which allows bright luminance to meet bright venue needs as well as extremely rich color reproducibility for smooth and real image projection. Additionally, with the added ‘Active Maintenance Filter’, maintaining the projector is simple.
