PT-AE2000E
The Power of Full HD. Beauty of Rich Details.
Lifelike Images in Crisp Detail
Developed in collaboration with leading filmmakers, Panasonic’s Hollywood tuning process produces
images that mirror the director’s artistic vision and intent. This process is now further aided in the
new PT-AE2000E by maximising the image quality of the full-HD content in Blu-ray discs and HD
broadcasts for large-screen viewing. The carefully tuned optical system teams up with a newly devel-
oped Detail Clarity Processor to dramatically boost image clarity. The PT-AE2000E offers the ultimate
home cinema experience with crisp full-HD images in remarkable detail.

PT-AE2000E Full High-Definition Home Cinema Projector
High, 16,000:1 Contrast Ratio and
1,500-Lumen Brightness
Almost all the key components in the optical system have been renewed to unleash
the beauty of full-HD expression with an
outstanding contrast ratio of 16,000:1 and
brightness of 1,500 lumens.
Carefully Tuned Lens System for
Maximum Full-HD Performance
To assure maximum clarity in full-HD
images, the PT-AE2000E employs a new
full-HD-compatible lens unit comprising 16
lens elements in 12 groups, including two
large-diameter aspherical lenses and two
high-performance ED (extra-low dispersion)
lenses. Each lens is carefully aligned by
highly skilled technicians to assure a uniform focusing balance from the centre to
the edges of the screen. The resulting
high-quality images are clear and free of
distortion and colour bleeding.
Next-Generation Full-HD LCD Panels
The new next-generation full-HD LCD panels*
1
use vertically aligned liquid crystal
molecules with inorganic alignment layers.
When no voltage is applied, the molecules
are aligned perpendicular to the glass substrate, so there is no light leakage and the
substrate remains black (called “normally
black” operation), providing higher contrast.
Dynamic Iris Designed for Full-HD
This system works by
analysing histograms to
determine the brightness
level of each image, then
adjusting the lamp power,
iris and gamma curve*
2
accordingly to create the
ideal image. The adjustments are made 60
times every second. In the PT-AE2000E we
doubled the control speed pattern to further improve response and stability. This
helps the projector achieve a wide dynamic
range with swift smoothness for added
beauty in both dark and bright scenes.
Smooth Screen Technology
Panasonic’s Smooth Screen technology
uses crystal double refraction to arrange
pixels on a screen without gaps between
them. The new Smooth Screen is optimised
specifically to match the characteristic of
PT-AE2000E’s optical system, giving you the
kind of smooth, vivid, and three-dimensional-like images you see in a movie theatre.
Pure Colour Filter Pro
This optical filter optimises the light spectrum from the UHM projector lamp, helping
to produce deeper blacks while improving
purity levels in the three primary colours
(red, green and blue). This advanced filter
system improves colour purity to such an
extent that the colour gamut is expanded to
approximately match the level specified by
the digital cinema industry.*
