NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES THREE NEW DIGITAL CINEMA

PROJECTORS, GIVING EXHIBITORS COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Bright Digital Cinema Projector Series Provides Ease of Use, Simple

Maintenance, Turnkey Solution

CHICAGO – October 26, 2009 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider
of commercial LCD displays and projectors, announced today three new digital cinema
projectors, providing three brightness level options to match screen sizes up to 105 feet
wide. These affordable models build on NEC’s strength and reliability in digital cinema,
and give more options to theater owners looking to upgrade cinema projector capabilities
to digital.

The new projectors can be seen in Suite K at ShowEast 2009, the motion picture theater
industry convention held October 27-29 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando,
Fla.

The Digital Cinema Projector Series models meet DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives)
requirements, so exhibitors are prepared to capitalize on current opportunities, as well
as position themselves for future growth. The new, optional NEC internal MediaBlock
and discreet NEC Local Storage Server provide a complete and compelling industry
solution for showing digital movies and deliver many benefits.

For example, the MediaBlock can be built into the projector as another integrated option
available to exhibitors. NEC simplifies the connection and delivers control of the
MediaBlock from the projector. A cinema ad can be directly integrated into the NEC
MediaBlock/Server solution.

In addition, NEC offers easy maintenance to minimize downtime through a single
maintenance window for both projectors and the MediaBlock/Local Storage Server. The
solution is able to self-diagnose for easy, timely trouble-shooting. NEC also has created
higher strict security and eliminated any potential trouble caused by the interface
between the projector and existing screen server (sub-titles/communication problem).

Alternatively, the Digital Cinema Projector Series works with existing cinema servers via
a legacy board.

"As exhibitors upgrade to digital cinema, they demand high brightness and great
customer care. With NEC’s 24/7/365 support, these models really meet their needs,"
said Jim Reisteter, General Manager, Digital Cinema Division, NEC Display Solutions.
"NEC gives theater owners everything they require to complete their digital cinema
installations – from financing to model variety. These new NEC projectors stand apart
from their competitors for their reliability, elegance and ease-of-use, and together offer
the flexibility needed to suit all screen sizes."

The new projectors include the NC1200C at 9,000 lumens of brightness for screen sizes
of up to 46 feet wide, the NC2000C at 17,000 lumens for screens up to 65 feet wide, and
the ultra-bright NC3200S at 31,000 lumens for screens up to 105 feet wide. The
advanced DLP Cinema® light engine provides contrast ratios up to 2200:1, which enable
better reproduction of detail in dark scenes.

Sophisticated dual-airflow design minimizes dust, and segregates the bulb from other
internal components for better long-term serviceability and reliability. NEC is the only
projector manufacturer to provide this state-of-the-art dual-airflow design for protection
from dust and oil contaminants. The lamp-cooling airflow is separated from the chassis­cooling air flow, which prevents drawing in dust and oil from enclosure panel gaps. Only
the lamp has a blower fan.
