New Red-Rich Lamp
The incorporation of the new Red-Rich Lamp increases the luminance efficiency of the projector, to achieve 150% brighter Cinema Picture modes compared to its predecessor, the PT-AE3000E. Prior to the development of the Red-Rich Lamp, much brightness was lost to attain the desired colour purity/balance for the rich colour reproduction of Cinema Picture modes due to the lack of red luminance. The newly engineered lamp successfully adds red luminance, and enables the projector to produce brighter images with excellent colours. With the ability to produce a stunning brightness of 1,600 lumens, the PT-AE4000E unleashes the beauty of full-HD expression for viewing on various screen sizes.
Full-HD Optimised Optical System
To assure maximum clarity and sharpness in full-HD images, this advanced optical system employs a full-HD-optimised lens unit comprising of 16 lens elements in 12 groups, including two large-diameter aspherical lenses and two high-performance ED (extralow dispersion) lenses. Each lens is carefully aligned to assure a uniform focusing balance from the centre to the edges of the screen. As a result, the PT-AE4000E produces stunningly clear and beautiful images
New Pure Contrast Plates Deliver High 100,000:1 Contrast Ratio
The Pure Contrast Plates in the PT-AE4000E use a newly engineered crystalline material that is carefully matched to the characteristics of the LCD panels to effectively correct the passage of light exiting the panels. This enables the projector to block unwanted light leakage and successfully increases the dynamic range. It works together with the dynamic iris to achieve an astounding contrast ratio of 100,000:1.
Pure Colour Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant Colours
The optical fi lter 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 cover a range that extends from the HDTV standard (Colour 1 mode) to the colour gamut used in digital cinema. This gives images the deep, rich colouring that distinguishes movie images.
Smooth Screen Technology Creates Film-Like Texture
While many LCD projectors suffer from a "chicken wire" effect, Panasonic's pursuit of the highest possible image quality has successfully overcome this device limitation through the incorporation of Smooth Screen technology. This uses the double refraction property of crystals to arrange pixels on a screen with no gaps between them. Smooth Screen technology is designed to give you the kind of smooth, vivid, and three-dimensionallike images you see in movie theatres
Dynamic Iris Adds Beauty to Both Dark and Bright Scenes
The fifth generation intelligent iris system works by analysing the brightness level of each image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power, iris and gamma curve accordingly to create the ideal image. The adjustments are made virtually frame by frame. This helps the projector achieve a wide dynamic range with swift smoothness for added beauty in both dark and bright scenes.
