BANGALORE, INDIA: Seiko Epson Corporation announced that it has shipped a total of 90 million high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT liquid crystal panels for 3LCD projectors, enough for more than 30 million projector units.

For more than two decades Epson has maintained its position as the world's No. 1 supplier of HTPS panels, the core devices at the heart of 3LCD projectors. It has led the industry by developing and providing technologies that boost power and performance.

In recent times, applications for 3LCD projectors have expanded as advantages such as high brightness and contrast have been augmented with functions such as 3D and interactive capability.

In the office, for example, projectors have become essential equipment for business presentations. In the home theater segment, they offer a compelling movie-viewing experience, while in the education segment projectors facilitate effective learning at school.
