What is 3LCD?

In developing LCD technology, Epson discovered that using a combination of three LCDs to produce a final image was the optimal way to achieve the sharpest and most beautiful images in televisions and projectors. Since this trio of LCDs is a unique technology used in projecting images, it was important to differentiate this innovation from the hundreds of other uses for single LCDs. Thus the name 3LCD was born.

3LCD projection systems give you dazzling brightness, true-to-life color saturation, and razor-sharp contrast for displaying digital content. This robust technology is incredibly versatile and is used in a variety of applications. For example, 3LCD easily displays full high-definition television (HDTV) broadcast signals. With the increasing popularity of HDTV, 3LCD's versatility confirms its top position in the video projection market.

Epson's 3LCD system faithfully reproduces the visible color spectrum, so you see brilliant colors that rival real life. Especially in the darkest parts of images, the precision of each LCD panel allows for smooth transitions from light to dark, and color to color, for even the most subtle of changes. 3LCD's solid-state design gives you accurate color registration, which means that you see crisp, detailed, precise images without any rainbow effect or color break-up.

Epson's 3LCD projection systems produce bright, clear, and high-contrast images. The brightness of the projector is particularly significant in semi-lit or artificial light environments, such as meeting rooms or lecture halls, where a brighter image creates a more defined picture. In darker home theater settings, 3LCD's high-contrast images make even the darkest scenes luminous and clear.
