LP-XP200L : LP-XP200L: The World's First 4-LCD Optical Engine Projector

Today Sanyo announced their world’s first 4-LCD optical engine projector, the LP-XP200L. Due to the increasing demand for a projector with greater brightness, Sanyo tried providing their projector with greater brightness and deep colors.

The problem with a better brightness is the loss of vivid colors. With this new optical engine, the projector overcomes the obstacle of color-loss while at the same time increasing the brightness by 20%.

Other features include an active maintenance filter, a contrast ratio of 2200:1, 1.3'' LCD screen, screen projection from 31'' to 400'', 1224x768 resolution, video input(x3)/BNC/RCA/S-video inputs, and RGB / DVI outputs.



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.

Main Features

1. World’s first*1 4LCD optical engine allows more rich color reproduction
- First in the world equipped with the new 4LCD optical engine with an independently controlled
‘Color Control Device’ added to liven up colors over conventional models
- New optical engine design overcomes obstacle of color-loss with increasing brightness typical of
3LCD by up to 20% over previous models
- Bright and real color reproducibility that can be vividly demonstrated in the digital signage
market



2. Achieves 7,000 lumens of brightness, the best in its class*2 for high brightness

- Equipped with high-output, single lamp optical engine technology that realizes higher light
efficiency, all at the highest brightness for its class*2 at 7,000 lumens
- Projections now possible in brighter environments, in large and brightly-lit conference rooms
and halls

- Displaying fruit and vegetable commercials at supermarkets
- Showing off touring spots for travel destinations at travel agencies
- Projecting cosmetics images at department stores

3. Adopts the ‘Active Maintenance Filter’ (AMF) for easy maintenance, the industry’s
longest lasting filter*3

- Filter is industry’s longest*3 lasting: approximately 10,000 hours (cartridge lifecycle is
approximately 2 years*4)
- Filter automatically senses when airflow is obstructed by dust, and advances to a clean filter by
reeling cartridge to new filter
- Easy to replace, with one-touch cartridge and side-loading access
- One cartridge has the equivalent of 10 filters, lightening the burden of maintenance



4. Other Features

- Advanced dark scene image representation, classes highest contrast ratio of 2200:1
- To prevent light from entering the presenter’s eyes when in front of the projected image, a
special mechanical shutter has been included behind the lens, open/close controllable with the
remote control, which will temporarily darken the screen
- Projector can be installed at any angle of 360 degrees, allowing ceiling or floor image projection
- Simple installation with advanced right/left, up/down lens shifting function and centered lens
layout
