Epson announced at a press conference held on the sidelines of GITEX Saudi Arabia 2007, the launch of the EMP-1715, the world’s first 3LCD projector with USB connectivity and multi-screen technology that serves as an ideal lightweight, portable projection device for presenters on the move.

3LCD is the dominant microdisplay technology worldwide, considering the total number of customers who have purchased front and rear projection products so far. According to estimates, over nine million projection products using 3LCD technology have been purchased to date, surpassing any other microdisplay technology on the market.

The advantages of 3LCD technology include, No Color Breakup – since this technology simultaneously projects three full-time red, green and blue images, there is no color breakup or “rainbow effect” to potentially cause viewers eyestrain or visual fatigue; Superior Greyscale – 3LCD products provide a broad range of neutral grey tones; Excellent Contrast – 3LCD products feature very competitive contrast ratio levels, with dozens of models routinely reaching 1000:1 or more; Brilliant Images – Many 3LCD business products currently on the market are capable of achieving brightness ratings as high as 5,000 ANSI lumens and above.
