For Immediate Release 7 January, 2010
Equipped with Laser & LED Hybrid Light Source
World First High-Brightness projector without mercury
Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today that the development of Laser & LED Hybrid Light
Source for the next generation of projectors was succeeded under the concept of “Clear and Green”,
and “Green Slim Projector“ equipped with this new Laser & LED Hybrid Light Source to realize
world first
*
mercury free high-brightness projector are launched.
* In comparison to commercially available data projectors with 2000 ANSI lumens or more as of January 7, 2010, according
to a Casio survey
Nowadays, over 2000 ANSI lumens projectors are worked by high pressure mercury lamp.
As substitution light source device, LED or Laser without detrimental mercury are highly promised for next
generation of projectors.
However, high-brightness green light by LED or Laser is not produced in large quantities yet, both LED and
Laser are just used for small sized projectors with dim brightness.
In this time, CASIO successfully developed an original new semiconductor light source technology
combining a Red by red LED, Blue by a blue laser and Green converted by phosphor from a blue laser.
This source achieves high luminance over 2000 ANSI lumens safely by employing a phosphor device
to modify the wavelengths and phases of blue laser light through DLP
®
system.
“Green Slim Projector” equipped with this Laser & LED Hybrid Light Source realize high brightness from
2,000 to 3,000 ANSI lumens without mercury lamp as the world first new generation projector.
It measures just thickness 43 mm and 2.3 kg in an A4-size, provide enhanced colour reproduction for
higher-impact presentations.
In terms of usability, Green Slim drastically enhanced basic features: 8 seconds quick startup, immediate
shutdown and 20,000 hours long life light source.
As line up assortment, WXGA models to realize display resolution real 1280 x 800, models that have USB
for PC-less presentation and wireless communication with PC will be also available.
Advanced Laser & LED Hybrid Light Source shall change common sense in projector industry
thoroughly expanding the possibility of visual communications.
■High brightness, Superior image quality, long life light source, quick ON/OFF by Laser & LED Hybrid
Light Source without mercury lamp
■Mobile configuration by Slim design (thickness 43mm), light weight (2.3kg) in A4-size
■Wide-angle 2x zoom to provide positioning freedom in small meeting rooms to large classrooms
■USB capability to realize PC-free presentation and wireless communication with PC
(XJ-A255/A245/A155/A145/A135)
