Crystal Projection Screens Debuts 16:9 Screens at CEDIA

phpsy2mespmTORRANCE, CA – September 8, 2016  – Crystal Screens by Luminit LLC, a privately held, high technology company specializing in custom and standard holographic diffusers, will introduce projection screens for the residential market at this year’s CEDIA in Dallas, Texas (Booth# 4147). The first substantial development in front projection screen technology in decades, Crystal Screens replaces the age-old screen manufacturing process with nanolens technology and the result is excellent ambient light rejection, zero hot spots, wide viewing angle and high gain.

“The viewing angle and ambient light rejection are so good that we’re showing the screen in a brightly-lit location so dealers and integrators can see how well it performs,” notes Dave Cusick, Director of Sales for Crystal Screens. “Whether it’s installed in a dedicated home theater or a brightly-lit media room, the screen is an ideal match for the latest projectors and can enhance the performance of older or moderately-priced projectors.”

Originally developed for the aerospace industry by optical scientists, Crystal Screens’ holographic technology creates a random surface that manipulates light energy. Unlike other screens where gain is reduced as the viewing angle increases, Crystal Screens provides a gain of 2.5 with a 120° viewing angle, making it an ideal screen for home theaters, media rooms, conference rooms, classrooms, and other environments where ambient light is difficult to control. Crystal Screens’ nanolens technology also preserves polarization effect so one screen can be used for both 2D and 3D viewing.

Designed and manufactured in Crystal Screens’ high-tech facility in Torrance, California, the fixed screens ship unassembled via UPS, reducing shipping costs and lead times. Other benefits include the ability to produce endless screen lengths with no seaming and excellent contrast and black levels in bright, dim or dark environments.

“Crystal Screens patented technology is unique to Crystal Screens and cannot be duplicated,” concludes Cusick. “It will not be sold on-line and custom integrators will appreciate the performance, the quality and fast turnaround times that comes with designing and manufacturing in the United States.”
