A new digital projector that
projects “true” S-XGA images with
breakthrough D-ILA™ technology
Large-size projection images with all the sharpness and clarity of a small-screen image — that’s what you’ll
get with the new D-ILA™ projector. Drawing on the advanced technology that made possible the unique ILA
(Image Light Amplifier) device, the new D-ILA™ (Direct Drive ILA) offers the most desirable combination of
superb picture quality, operational ease, and affordability.
Featuring true S-XGA capability, the new D-ILA™ projector gives you the power to project the high-resolution
graphics and CAD images created by today’s advanced workstations directly onto a large projection screen with
no loss of quality whatsoever.
This versatile projector is also equipped to show moving images from advanced AV equipment, and reproduce
them on an extra-large screen with all the sharpness and clarity of the originals. Images projected on the screen
with the D-ILA™ projector now rival the intensity and brilliance of those seen in a movie theater.
Combining the outstanding image reproduction of an ILA projector and the user-friendliness of a lightweight
projector, the new D-ILA™projector takes projection images far beyond the limitations of conventional LCD and
CRT projectors.

Projector Device Innovation — Direct-Drive ILA (D-ILA™)
D-ILA™ Structure
The D-ILA™ device is a reflective type of LCD which
delivers a higher aperture ratio (more then 93%) than
a transmissive LCD panel, and is comprised of
groups of pixels which correspond to each image dot.
Also unlike conventional transmissive LCD panels (in
which the driving transistor is mounted on the same
surface as the pixels), the D-ILA™'s driving IC
substrate is located behind the liquid crystal layer. As
a result, the D-ILA™ device can achieve higher
brightness and higher resolution at the same time. In
addition, thanks to the vertical alignment
(“homeotropic” structure) of the liquid crystal layer,
projected images also have much higher contrast.
D-ILA™ Operation
The light from the xenon lamp travels through a
polarized beam splitter (PBS), which is reflected off
the D-ILA™ device, then passed through the
projection lens and onto the screen.
