Epson Targets No. 1 Position in Laser-Phosphor Projectors

New Pro L-Series Features Seven Models Delivering Up to 25,000 Lumens

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Feb. 9, 2016 – Epson, the number-one selling projector brand
worldwide, today announced its new Pro L-Series large venue laser projectors, including the
world’s first 3LCD projector with 25,000 lumens of color brightness and 25,000 lumens of white
brightness1. The Pro L-Series projectors are also the first to integrate a laser-light source with
an inorganic phosphor wheel in combination with inorganic LCD panels for outstanding image
quality, durability and reliability. Epson’s new 3LCD laser projectors will be on display at ISE
2016 in Amsterdam from Feb. 9-12 at Epson booth, #1-H90.

“The new Pro L-series demonstrates Epson’s firm commitment to becoming number one in the
laser-phosphor market,” said Rajeev Mishra, vice president, North America Commercial
Marketing, Epson America, Inc. “Delivering innovative and reliable products is a top priority for
Epson. Projector customers in North America responded in 2015 by making Epson the number
one brand in laser-phosphor home theater projectors. Leveraging our expertise at delivering
great image quality to discerning customers, we believe it won’t be long before customers make
the new Epson Pro L-series the top choice in laser-phosphor professional projectors.”  

Leveraging Epson’s proprietary 3LCD technology and new inorganic components, the Epson
Pro L-Series laser projectors deliver advanced performance, quality, reliability, and flexibility.
The Pro L25000 features 25,000 lumens of color and white brightness1 and a wide range of 4K-
compatible lenses, while Pro L1000-Series comes in six models ranging from 6,000 to 12,000
lumens, and offers nine optional lenses, including the world’s first zero-offset ultra short-throw
lens3.

These Epson 3LCD laser projectors offer several advantages for large venue installations,
including:

-    Image Quality: With a highly efficient light engine, Epson’s 3LCD laser projectors can
reproduce spectacular images with up to 25,000 lumens of color and white brightness1
and are ideal for large venues such as auditoriums, concert halls, lecture halls, and
sanctuaries.

-    Reliability: Epson’s LCD panels and phosphor wheel are made of inorganic material
with superior light and heat resistance; combining these in a laser projector results in
bright, vibrant images and up to 20,000 hours of virtually maintenance-free use,
including 24/7 operation2.

-    Flexibility: Epson’s lineup of 3LCD laser projectors is designed for a host of venues and
applications; supporting 360–degrees installation, edge-blending, stacking, portrait-mode
projection, mapping, and a large variety of lens options.

Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance
The color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society for
Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without
conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today’s high definition content, presenters can display
content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors
need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness is
important for larger screen sizes and provides flexibility for a variety of screen materials. Without
sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. For
