4K Projectors and Laser TVs

The challenge

4K is now the universal standard across TVs, streaming platforms, and gaming consoles. Consumers expect sharp, detailed images every day. Projection is the most effective way to achieve large screens—but only if it can meet modern resolution expectations. Native 4K projectors use imaging devices with over eight million physical pixels. These chips are large, expensive, and require extremely precise optics and alignment, which drives up system cost, size, and power consumption.

Our solution

Optotune’s Extended Pixel Resolution (XPR) technology meets this challenge with a cost-effective and elegant engineering approach. By accurately and rapidly tilting a glass window, light passing through it is shifted laterally along two axes to reach four distinct positions. As a result, each pixel is projected in four locations, effectively quadrupling the resolution and converting a 1080p image into a 4K projection on the screen. Optotune XPR products are used in 4K smart projectors, laser TVs, home cinema systems, and professional cinema projectors.

Front Lens Configuration

Liquid lenses can also be mounted directly in front of standard lenses, offering a compact solution. With S-mount lenses, horizontal fields of view up to 56° are possible, while C-mount systems typically work best with fields of view up to 30°. In both cases, the liquid lens can often be integrated using existing mounts, keeping the overall system design simple and compact.

Back Lens Configuration

When integrated close to the aperture stop, Optotune’s liquid lenses achieve optimal performance with large image circles, low f-numbers, and excellent resolution. To make this integration seamless, we collaborate with leading optics manufacturers worldwide to deliver a growing number of optimized designs.
