Enhanced Dynamic Range with Advanced Optical System

A vast accumulation of Panasonic projector

technology is further strengthened by the

new Red-Rich Lamp and a reﬁ ned, high-

precision optical system to enrich your home

theater experience.

New Red-Rich Lamp

The incorporation of the new

Red-Rich Lamp increases

the luminance efﬁ ciency of

the projector, to achieve

150% brighter Cinema

Picture modes compared

to its predecessor, the PT-AE3000U. Prior

to the development of the Red-Rich Lamp,

much brightness was lost to attain the de-

sired color purity/balance for the rich color

reproduction of Cinema Picture modes due

to the lack of red luminance. The newly en-

gineered lamp successfully adds red lumi-

nance, and enables the projector to produce

brighter images with excellent colors. With

the ability to produce a stunning brightness

of 1,600 lumens, the PT-AE4000U unleashes

the beauty of full-HD expression for viewing

on various screen sizes.

Full-HD Optimized Optical System

To assure maximum clarity and sharpness

in full-HD images, this advanced optical sys-

tem employs a full-HD-optimized lens unit

comprising of 16 lens elements in 12 groups,

including two large-diameter aspherical

lenses and two high-performance ED (extra-

low dispersion) lenses. Each lens is care-

fully aligned to assure a

uniform focusing balance

from the centre to the

edges of the screen. As

a result, the PT-AE4000U

produces stunningly clear

Large-diameter as-

and beautiful images.

New Pure Contrast Plates Deliver High

100,000:1 Contrast Ratio

The Pure Contrast Plates in the PT-AE4000U

use a newly engineered crystalline material

that is carefully matched to the character-

istics of the LCD panels to effectively correct

the passage of light exiting the panels. This

enables the projector to block unwanted light

leakage and successfully increases the dy-

namic range. It works together with the dy-

namic iris to achieve an astounding contrast

ratio of 100,000:1.

Pure Color Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant

Colors

The optical ﬁ lter optimizes

the light spectrum from

the UHM projector lamp,

helping to produce deeper

blacks while improving

purity levels in the three

primary colors (red, green and blue). This

advanced ﬁ lter system improves color purity

to cover a range that extends from the HDTV

standard (Color 1 mode)*

to the color gamut

used in digital cinema*

. This gives images

the deep, rich coloring that distinguishes

movie images.

Smooth Screen Technology Creates

Film-Like Texture

While many LCD projectors suffer from a

"chicken wire" effect, Panasonic's pursuit

of the highest possible image quality has

successfully overcome this device limitation

through the incorporation of Smooth Screen

technology. This uses the double refraction

property of crystals to arrange pixels on a

screen with no gaps between them. Smooth

Screen technology is designed to give you the

kind of smooth, vivid, and three-dimensional-

like images you see in movie theaters.

Dynamic Iris Adds Beauty to Both Dark

and Bright Scenes

The fifth generation intel-

ligent iris system works by

analyzing the brightness

level of each image using

a histogram, then adjusting

accordingly

to create the ideal image. The adjustments

are made virtually frame by frame. This helps

the projector achieve a wide dynamic range

with swift smoothness for added beauty in

both dark and bright scenes.

Full-HD LCD Panels Enhance Motion

Response

The PT-AE4000U's full-HD LCD panels have

a double-speed drive capability that improves

the projection clarity of moving images. These

high-precision panels use vertically aligned

liquid crystal molecules with inorganic align-

ment layers. When no voltage is applied, the

molecules are aligned perpendicular to the

glass substrate, so there is minimal light

leakage and the substrate remains black

(called "normally black" operation), providing

higher contrast.
