Technical Brief—Multimedia projectors
3. High aperture LCD panels:
The UHA (Ultra High Aperture) has increased the aperture ratio which allows more light through the lens.
EPSON produces the highest aperture LCD's, which are more transmissive.
4. Micro Lens Array:
MLA is a layer of the LCD composed of quartz crystal lenses. Each pixel has a dedicated lens that focuses and
maximizes the throughput of light from the lamp. MLA allows more light to pass through each pixel, more
than twice the light of LCD's of two years ago. (Not included on all EPSON projectors.)
5. "Metal Sandwich" technology:
A light shield of metal between the pixels blocks the light leakage. Cross-talk between pixels is reduced,
resulting in clearer, crisper images. (Not included on all EPSON projectors.)

Image quality—Image clarity
EPSON projectors producte astonishingly clear, sharp images with a combination of these three technologies:
1. High illumination ratios:
The illumination ratio measures the relationship of the darkest spot (the corner) to the brightest spot on the
screen (the center). The higher the ratio, the more uniform the brightness.
2. High contrast ratios:
Contrast ratio measures the difference between the light and dark areas of the image. The higher the ratio the
sharper, more colorful, and more lifelike the images appear.
