The advanced reflective surface, coupled with its exceptional picture in any environment, makes it the preferred screen material for 3D projection viewing.
Screen Innovations (SI), the leader in projection screen technology, recently announced that its award-winning Black Diamond screen material provides an unprecedented 3D viewing experience in any room of the house. Whilst 3D has been one of the biggest trends in projection, the ongoing complaint is that it can only exist in a dark environment. With the advanced performance of the Black Diamond screen material, the 3D TV experience can now be taken out of the traditional home cinema and into the living room, family room, or den.
As 3D TV gains popularity, hundreds of television and sports programs will be broadcast in 3D. Currently, if viewers want to watch these 3D shows with the lights on, then they only have the option of doing so on a fixed pixel display, which limits them to smaller flat panels. For a true big picture experience, front projection is the only answer, but, until now, this has been impossible outside of a dark home cinema. Black Diamond provides the perfect solution for the optimal 3D viewing experience regardless of the lighting situation in the room. The advanced reflective surface of the Black Diamond allows the screen to maintain the polarisation scheme of the 3D projector, and enhances active and passive 3D by increasing contrast by 900%. The end result is a flawless HD picture that you can watch anywhere.
By preserving the projector’s light polarisation properties, the Black Diamond screen is able to compliment both active and passive 3D. Its reflective layer maintains pristine polarisation, eliminating the polarity interference that creates ghosting, and resulting in a pure, crisp, and dynamic image that is precisely what the director intended viewers to see.
The Black Diamond is the only screen that absorbs unwanted ambient light in bright environments and reduces measured light scatter by 75%, increasing viewer immersion in dark environments. Also, when compared to flat panels, the Black Diamond has no glare or reflections when used in a bright room. Black Diamond utilises seven optical light filtration layers that increase contrast by selectively reflecting only the projector’s light back to the audience’s eyes whilst rejecting ambient room light, including light within the path of the projector, therefore preserving the projector’s contrast.
