MOTION PICTURE FILM QUALITY IMAGES / The Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD

™

) technology has been

designed by Sony to perform like 35mm movie film. The VPL-VW100 has virtually vanished the ‘screen door effect’,

which is the pixel grid being seen on screen, by using narrow inter-pixel spacing.

panel, of which the VPL-VW100 employs three, one for each colour (red, green and

blue), has over 2 million enabled square pixels. This is more than twice as many as other 720p 

high-end projectors. The combination of the three panels means that the Sony SXRD

TM 

prism block

located within the VPL-VW100 has 6.22 million active pixels. Having three panels also eliminates the

need for a colour wheel and the potential rainbow colour separation.

The result is film quality smoothness and a tremendous increase in clarity. Sony SXRD

TM

is capable of

reproducing full HD panel resolution (1920 x 1080) with pixels of only 7µm. In combination with the

minimization effect of the space between pixels, the inter-pixel space of 0.35µm delivers an extremely

life like picture that is simply breathtaking. 

For a smooth rendering of images, the VPL-VW100 has a rapid 2.5 milli second response time, which

enhances crisp and vivid image reproduction, even from video sources containing fast moving images.
