Screen Research Expands Range with New Screen Fabrics (29/9/2009)

CEDIA US Expo 2009

New MultiPix range of screen fabrics use proprietary multi-layer technology to offer positive gain and excellent light rejection characteristics.

Screen Research today introduces the new MultiPix™ range of screen fabrics. The range is made up of three revolutionary screen fabrics that use Screen Research’s proprietary multi-layer technology to offer:

Positive gain performance: between 1.3 and 1.5
Excellent light rejection: ideal for use in a range of ambient light conditions
Optimized performance for a variety of applications

So impressed by the performance of the new screen fabrics during testing that Joel Silver, President of Imaging Science Foundation, said “Screen Research’s MultiPix Ultra-contrast Gray 1.3 screen fabric does for projector screens what Pioneer’s Kuro coatings did for flat-panels – enhancing blacks to a level that has always been a challenge to achieve with today’s 3-chip DLP projectors. The best flat panel video displays feature optical enhancement coatings to reinforce blacks. This screen follows the same precedent.”

The fabrics at a glance:

MultiPix Ultra-contrast Grey 1.3

Substrate color: Gray
ISF®-certified
On-axis Gain: 1.3
Multi-layer ultra-contrast gray fabric with positive gain and deep black levels
Compatible with high ambient light conditions
Perfect color balance and white field uniformity with no hot spots
Designed for use with all fixed pixel matrix projectors

Screen Research’s ISF®-certified MultiPix range of screen fabrics provides a variety of solutions for positive gain requirements and ambient light conditions. Consisting of the MultiPix Ultra-contrast White 1.3, Ultra-contrast White 1.5 and Ultra-contrast Gray 1.3 these new fabrics use Screen Research’s Multi-layer technology to optimize performance for a wide variety of applications.

In contrast to conventional painted gain coatings, MultiPix’s multi-layer technology is not a fragile surface treatment. It is a scientifically-controlled manufacturing process that ensures a homogenous structure that is durable and flexible and is consistent in terms of performance and structural integrity.

MultiPix Ultra-contrast Gray 1.3 offers unparalleled black level contrast performance. Excellent light rejection characteristics allow use in environments with high ambient light levels while Screen Research’s Multi-layer technology maintains reference performance image quality across a wide viewing angle with no hot spots.

MultiPix Ultra-contrast White 1.3 and Ultra-contrast 1.5 are the ideal choice for high gain applications, maximizing the performance of lower-powered projectors or when dealing with ambient light conditions while maintaining excellent color balance and the viewing angle.

The MultiPix range of screen fabrics are currently shipping.
