JVC Victor exhibits 4k x 2k D-ILA projector at CEATEC

Recall that 4k D-ILA chip that JVC announced earlier this year? Fast forward a few months, and feast your eyes on JVC Victor's not-yet-named 4k x 2k projector, which was on display at this year's CEATEC. The device boasts an incredible 4,096 x 2,400 resolution and can "throw a 200-inch picture from about 7-meters away." Additionally, the unit featured a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, 3,500 lumens, and employed the same 1.27-inch D-ILA microdisplay that we saw in June. No word on price, but start saving those pennies for a "first half of 2008" release.

4K scanning and projection is upon the industry. ILM has been experimenting with 4K scanning for a while. This thing should give an outstanding picture. (Pro Use of course).

4K projection has been around for a couple of years already with Sony's SXRD series. I wouldn't be surprised if we heard something from Barco soon too.

I hate the branding here, it's lame. Sony's SXRD is basically a branding of the same basic technology that JVC calls D-ILA. The basic technology is known as LCoS, liquid crystal on silicon, a specific variation of LCD.

I think there are several 4k projectors out there. I'm surprised that JVC doesn't have one for sale already. I could have sworn that they put together the projector for NHK's UHDTV demo theater, which is 7,680 � 4,320, 4k should be simple in comparison.
