2600:1 High Contrast and Black
Reproduction
DMD™ is a reflective device which can prevent light from coming through
by controlling mirror angles. Making good use of this DMD™ feature plus
employing a thoroughly developed optical engine, the XV-Z10000U/E
provides sharper blacks in black parts and a higher contrast ratio of
2600:1. Real blacks and clearly reproduced subtle colours provide
impressively beautiful pictures.
Natural Colour Reproductivity
With the development of an
advanced optical engine
including Primary Colour
Wheels, the XV-Z10000U/E
provides high-grade colour
reproduction.

Three Primary Colour Wheel (CW)
Current DLP™ projectors employ a 4-colour (RGB and white)
colour wheel in order to increase white luminance and picture
brightness. However, this causes a debasement of colour balance
by enhancing other colours to reach a bright white level and a
deterioration of black level because of white light straying onto
DMD™ chips. The XV-Z10000U/E uses a 3-Colour CW with only
red, green and blue primary colours, achieving high reproduction
of pure colours and
high-contrast
pictures.
Optimization of the Optical Engine
From the onset of XV-Z10000U/E development, all optical parts
have been thoroughly analyzed and experimented on in order to
search for higher contrast ratio. This brings anti-reflective coating
for every optical part, optimization of light insertion into DMD™
pixels, and a shutter in front of the projection lens. As a result,
backlight from diffused reflection in the optical engine and light
leaking from light reflection from objects other than DMD™
mirrors have been dramatically reduced to achieve higher contrast
ratio.
World’s First 6x* Speed Engine
Single DLP™ projectors employ a time sequential CW system in
which RGB images projected on the screen sequentially are mixed
and recognized as one image from the afterimage effects on
human eyes. But this causes a phenomenon called “Colour
Breaking”. And since projection time for each colour is relatively
long with the 1x and 2x engine, remaining afterimages appear on
the image for some time like a RGB rainbow. For a theatre
projector, this is a major weak point because mainly moving
images are projected. With the world's first use of a 6x* Speed
Colour Wheel in front DLP™ projectors, the XV-Z10000U/E
achieves a projection time 1/6 that of a 1x engine and improves
colour breaking up to
a degree virtually
invisible.
