NEW NEC HIGH-RESOLUTION LASER PROJECTORS UNLEASH MYRIAD

OF APPLICATIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLERS

4K and Full HD PH Series Models Each Deliver 12,000 Lumens of

Brightness and 20,000 Hours of Life

CHICAGO – April 15, 2015 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of
commercial LCD display and projector solutions, today announced two new laser
phosphor projectors to its professional installation lineup. The technology behind the
lamp-less projectors gives professional installers new applications to target and potential
new revenue streams.

The NEC PH1201QL projector delivers a native 4K (4096x2160) resolution, while the
NEC PH1202HL model delivers Full HD 1080p as its native resolution. The 3-chip DLP
laser projectors each emit 12,000 lumens of brightness, and maintain 2000:1 and
10,000:1 contrast ratios, respectively.

The lamp-less projectors use blue laser with yellow phosphor as their light sources and
emit consistent light output over their lifetimes. That means mercury-free components,
no more lamp replacements and 20,000 hours of projector life at maximum brightness.
The eco-friendly projectors are virtually maintenance free, which translates to lower labor
costs and less filter cleaning. The PH1201HL offers NEC's unique heat exchanger, a
patent-pending system designed to cool the engine while creating a sealed barrier for
both the optical and laser engines, thereby minimizing dust and other particles from
entering the laser and optical path. The barrier helps reduce maintenance requirements,
while image quality and brightness stay pristine.

The projectors can operate in a 24x7 environment, which opens up a number of new
applications in digital signage, simulation, training facilities, control rooms and high-traffic
environments, giving professional installers new opportunities.

“Laser is the future light source for the projector industry,” said Richard McPherson,
Senior Product Manager of Projectors at NEC Display. “Laser phosphor projectors bring
the best possible brightness uniformity and image quality over a longer period of time
compared to lamp-based projectors. The laser technology eliminates the need for lamp
replacement, bringing a significant cost savings over time. It’s exciting to see the new
opportunities NEC’s PH Series laser projectors bring to professional installations and

we’re ready to continue to lead the charge in laser technology for projectors.”

The self-contained projection system of the PH1202HL projector includes an OPS (Open
Pluggable Specification) option slot, the first industry-wide standard to simplify
installation, use and maintenance while offering input flexibility for HD/SD-SDI and OPS
accessory cards. The projector’s wide range of installation features suit any professional
environment and minimize installation costs for digital signage.

NEC Display is the only visual technologies manufacturer delivering 4K and Ultra-HD
resolution products across its portfolio of projectors, desktop and large-screen displays.

Among the other benefits of the two laser phosphor projectors:

 Quick Start capabilities
 Extensive input panel, including HDMI, DisplayPort and HDBaseT (PH1202HL)
 Tilt-Free (360°) and Portrait Mode capabilities
 3D – HDMI
 Adjustable Light Source
 Stacking Correction Tool (PH1202HL)
 Geometric correction
 Hardware and Software Edge Blending
