Supernova Technology Performs in Both Bright and Dark Environments
Optical lens screen material in dnp denmark products showcased at CEDIA Expo 2008 allows for higher contrast ratio without shifting the grayscale
COSTA MESA, Calif.–August 20, 2008–dnp denmark, the world’s leading supplier of optical screen technology, will demonstrate its award-winning line of Supernova projection screens at CEDIA Expo booth 357 in Denver, September 4-7, 2008. The screens, which come in a variety of configurations, feature dnp denmark’s proprietary Supernova Optical Screen Technology. This allows the viewer to experience contrast ratios up to 10 times better than those available with standard screens, while reducing distracting artifacts such as bright spots, dark corners, and shimmer in their home theater.
“Our Supernova Optical Screen Technology allows consumers to watch movies and experience gaming in any environment without having to make accommodations for darkness or ambient light,” said Manfred Freiberger, senior account manager of dnp denmark U.S. “The perfect projection screen solution for today’s home theater, our proprietary screen material enhances contrast without creating an optical illusion like traditional standard screens; the result is a true white and a darker gray.”
Supernova Screens are based on a revolutionary high-contrast filter that allows the projected image to be reflected from the screen head-on, while effectively absorbing light from other sources such as ceiling lights. As a result, the Supernova Screen is virtually unaffected by ambient light while also performing equally well in a dark environment. This innovative design allows Supernova Screens to deliver superior contrast levels, in all environments. Now viewers can enjoy daytime sporting events, gaming and movies in a room with or without ambient lighting without being inconvenienced by washed out images.
Each screen is made with seven high-tech layers that actively ensure a superior viewing experience. These layers include:
* Unique optical lens film to reduce the impact of ambient light and thereby ensure better image contrast
* Technologically advanced reflection layer for revolutionary horizontal half-gain angles up to +/- 85 degrees
* Black color layer that sets new standards for color reproduction.
* Hard surface coating for screen scratch resistance and easy handling and a no-shimmer image
ISF Certified
dnp denmark’s Supernova 08-85 screen material has been certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) for its outstanding image quality. This means the product exceeds the high-standard benchmarks that define the best video performance available for consumers. With a horizontal half-gain of 85 degrees, the widest in the industry, Supernova 08-85 provides the most uniform image with full 180 degrees of viewing, for an unsurpassed visual experience.
