Deep, true black levels with the industry's highest native contrast ratio of 30,000:1

The new DLA-HD100 features enhanced 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA devices and an improved optical engine, allowing it to achieve an incredible native contrast ratio of 30,000:1 - the industry's highest!

Broader colour space ensures excellent colour rendition

The DLA-HD100 offers significantly improved colour rendition to match its true black level as colour space has been broadened to ensure the reproduction of colours that are more natural and vivid, especially red hues such as those found in images of flowers and sunsets. The adoption of a newly developed colour filter also enhances colour intensity by narrowing the bandwidth of each red, green and blue colour.

HDMI ver. 1.3 (Deep Color) compatibility

As enhanced connectivity is important for projectors, the DLA-HD100 expands the range of connectable equipment as it now features two HDMI inputs compatible with version 1.3 (Deep Color) specifications and a PC input. What's more, space between the two HDMI connectors is increased to allow for easier connection of wider HDMI cables.

as well as enhanced resolution and frame rates (for more details, please refer to the HDMI ver. 1.3 specifications at http://www.hdmi.org/).

User-customisable on-screen gamma control

The DLA-HD100 makes manual adjustment of gamma curve possible via an on-screen display, allowing the viewer to adjust projector luminance levels by increasing contrast in scenes that are too dark or dimming washed-out scenes to ensure precise brightness levels that suit individual preferences.

Air intake and exhaust vents on the front of the unit

Installing a projector on the ceiling was sometimes problematic because of the top cooling vents, but JVC has skilfully positioned both air intake and exhaust vents at the front of the unit to let you easily install the DLA-HD100 anywhere -- on the ceiling, right up against a wall, or even on top of a table. And the improved cooling design keeps fan noise down to about 24dB so that everyone can better enjoy what’s being shown.

Optical Engine with Wire-grid Polarizers

The new optical engine with wire-grid polarizers ensures precise light polarization that result in achieving native contrast ratio of 15,000:1. The resulting display is ideal for movies. Objects that are normally black are shown with true blacks. And, irrespective of brightness, consistent response is assured, allowing the reproduction of a wide range of intermediate colours.

0.7-inch (16:9) full HD D-ILA device

The newly improved device for the DLA-HD100 is designed to significantly reduce stray light caused by phenomena such as the dispersion and diffraction of reflected light. Improvements by JVC on planarization technology -- making the surface more even and reducing the gaps between pixels -- have enabled a device-only contrast ratio of 40,000 to 1.

D-ILA® - JVC's Original Technology

JVC's original D-ILA technology ensures a natural, rich, flicker-free picture which does not suffer from the sort of colour-breaking phenomenon that can often occur with single-device projectors, especially when there is rapid movement. The result is a smooth picture, like that produced by film, with fine detail from one edge of the screen to the other. And there is also no obvious "screen-door" effect when using D-ILA devices, so the high-definition picture is like that produced by a film projector.

Gennum VXP video processing

The GF9351 video processor from Gennum Corporation has been adopted for the video circuitry, its four VXP™ technologies and superior scaling capability help to ensure high-definition picture quality.

Handy video adjustment menu

A convenient and detailed video adjustment menu allows you to easily adjust the picture to suit the source video and your own preferences.

High-performance 2x motorised zoom lens enables flexible set-up

The high-performance 2x zoom lens found on the DLA-HD100 is made by FUJINON Corporation and features a large-diameter, all-glass lens assembly with 16 elements in 13 groups.

This lens significantly reduces chromatic aberration and provides a high-resolution picture by ensuring that individual pixels remain perfectly focused on the screen. Motorised focus also allows you to enjoy razor-sharp image reproduction in every viewing situation, even in smaller rooms where recommended viewing distances to the screen cannot be obtained. Best of all, setting up the DLA-HD100 is easy, as the ±80% vertical and ±34% horizontal lens shift function allows the projected picture to be moved horizontally or vertically without having to physically reposition the projector.

Flexible set-up

Setting up the DLA-HD100 is easy too as ±80% vertical and ±34% horizontal lens shift function allows the projected picture to be moved horizontally or vertically without having to physically reposition the projector.

Full 2.35:1 wide cinematic movie enjoyment

On conventional projectors, 2.35:1 wide cinematic films are displayed letterboxed with black bars on the top and bottom of the screen but thanks to the V-stretch mode, images produced by the DLA-HD100 are expanded vertically. And by using a third-party anamorphic lens, the picture can also be stretched to a full 2.35:1 ratio just as can be seen in a movie theatre.

Self-illuminating remote control

The buttons on the handy self-illuminating remote control light up automatically, making it easy to operate even in a dark room. The remote control also includes direct keys to adjust frequently used functions such as contrast and brightness, in addition to video input selection.

Access panel for the replaceable lamp on the side

Another thoughtful design feature is the access panel for the replaceable lamp, which is located on the side of the projector to make replacement easy.
