Sharp Xv Z10000e Projector Specifications

							2600:1 High Contrast and Black 
Reproduction
DMD™ is a reflective device which can prevent light from coming through 
by controlling mirror angles. Making good use of this DMD™ feature plus 
employing a thoroughly developed optical engine, the XV-Z10000U/E 
provides sharper blacks in black parts and a higher contrast ratio of 
2600:1. Real blacks and clearly reproduced subtle colours provide 
impressively beautiful pictures.
Natural Colour Reproductivity
With the development of an 
advanced optical engine 
including Primary Colour 
Wheels, the XV-Z10000U/E 
provides high-grade colour 
reproduction.

Three Primary Colour Wheel (CW)
Current DLP™ projectors employ a 4-colour (RGB and white) 
colour wheel in order to increase white luminance and picture 
brightness. However, this causes a debasement of colour balance by enhancing other colours to reach a bright white level and a 
deterioration of black level because of white light straying onto 
DMD™ chips. The XV-Z10000U/E uses a 3-Colour CW with only 
red, green and blue primary colours, achieving high reproduction 
of pure colours and 
high-contrast 
pictures.
Optimization of the Optical Engine
From the onset of XV-Z10000U/E development, all optical parts 
have been thoroughly analyzed and experimented on in order to 
search for higher contrast ratio. This brings anti-reflective coating 
for every optical part, optimization of light insertion into DMD™ 
pixels, and a shutter in front of the projection lens. As a result, 
backlight from diffused reflection in the optical engine and light 
leaking from light reflection from objects other than DMD™ 
mirrors have been dramatically reduced to achieve higher contrast 
ratio.
World’s First 6x* Speed Engine
Single DLP™ projectors employ a time sequential CW system in 
which RGB images projected on the screen sequentially are mixed 
and recognized as one image from the afterimage effects on 
human eyes. But this causes a phenomenon called “Colour 
Breaking”. And since projection time for each colour is relatively 
long with the 1x and 2x engine, remaining afterimages appear on 
the image for some time like a RGB rainbow. For a theatre 
projector, this is a major weak point because mainly moving 
images are projected. With the worlds first use of a 6x* Speed 
Colour Wheel in front DLP™ projectors, the XV-Z10000U/E 
achieves a projection time 1/6 that of a 1x engine and improves 
colour breaking up to 
a degree virtually 
invisible.

The 270W SHP lamp affords rich light quantity and adjusts 
spectral characteristics, resulting in high luminance and high 
colour reproduction, especially for reds, which remains a task very 
difficult for conventional models.
