Sanyo's PDG-DWL2500J Short-Throw 3D Projector

Sanyo has announced the release of new ultra short-focus projector with 3D Ready in July 2010. The new model also offers the world's shortest projection distance, and can be set up vertically or horizontally for enjoying large images projected from right on the wall.

In 2006, SANYO was the first in the industry to come out with an ultra short-focus projector that can project a large image from a short distance, thereby expanding the situations where projectors can be used. In 2007, SANYO also released the LP-XL50 projector with an ultra short-focus lens, which revolutionized the conventional projector concept with the world's shortest*3 set-up distance. This model has been well received in educational settings.

The new PDG-DWL2500J model represents a further advancement of the LP-XL50, and have a compact design that is about half the size of the conventional model. Along with being able to project large images from an even shorter distance, the new models have 3D ready, a feature that is rapidly gaining popularity.

As a result, SANYO is aiming to expand the market for these projectors from the conventional educational market to include new uses including amusement applications.

• Projection of a large 80” image at the world’s shortest projection distance of about 32 cm
• Distance between projector unit and screen surface: 2.4 cm is achieved by newly developed ultra short-focus mirror projection optical unit
• When the distance between projector unit and screen surface is 0 cm, an approximately 74” large image can be projected from a position close to the screen, which allows a presenter to stand in front of the image without casting a shadow on the screen
• Maximum projection image size: 110”
