Tokyo, December 10, 2007 - SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) presents today two new two-lamp commercial-use projectors, the LP-XF70 and the widescreen LP-WF20. The new LP-XF70 model can emit 9,000 lumens, the brightest^*1 in its class, while the new LP-WF20 model is a widescreen-XGA projector capable of emitting 6,000 lumens. Both project high resolution images through the industry's first^*2 two-lamp photosynthesis technology, and adopt the Active Maintenance Filter (AMF) system, reducing cost and time in maintenance. The LP-XF70 and LP-WF20 projectors will be on sale in Japan starting from January 11 and January 21 respectively.

At the press conference for the launch of the new projectors, Dr. Keiichi Yodoshi, Vice President of SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., and DI Company Vice President, commented,"The launch of these two-lamp projectors that are not only bright enough to use in large event halls and at other large venues marks another stepping stone for SANYO. With these new projectors in the line-up, we can better meet the needs of our customers in the large event/conference and halls market, digital signage market, and office-use market." Additionally, these new projectors will be on display in Amsterdam at ISE 2008 to be held from January 29 to January 31, 2008.

LP-XF70	LP-WF20
1. Two-lamp LP-XF70 provides the highest luminance of its class*1 at 9,000 lumens, while achieving the highest light efficiency*3 from the industry’s first*2 AC100V adapter	1. Two-lamp LP-WF20 provides high luminance of 6,000 lumens in widescreen-XGA format
2. High resolution images through industry’s first two-lamp photosynthesis technology*4
3. Industry's longest-use*5 new-type filter through Active Maintenance Filter system (AMF)

*1 As of December 10, 2007 for two-lamp projectors
*2 As of December 10, 2007 for projectors
*3 As of December 10, 2007. Light efficiency (lm/W) = brightness (lm) / lamp output (W)
*4 As of December 10, 2007 for projectors capable of emitting 9,000 lumens or more
*5 For projectors, filter changes should be made approx. 10,000 projector hours

　The number of projectors shipped in the global market was approximately 5.1 million units in FY2006 and is expected to increase to some 5.8 million units for FY2007. It will continue to expand steadily, reaching approximately 7.7 million units by FY2009 according to company research.
　SANYO provides a wide line-up of projectors, ranging from larger, high luminance and high precision models for large screens at venues in places such as event halls and cinemas to smaller, lighter mobile models used in small meetings with only several participants. For commercial projectors used for high-precision large screens, such as those used in cinema advertising, SANYO has an exceptional reputation and retained the industry's largest share for many years. In response to the growing demand for higher luminance, higher resolution, and lower maintenance, SANYO has advanced its image processing technology and optical engine technology through focusing on product development.

　These efforts show fruition in the new LP-XF70, which utilizes highly efficient optical engine technology rendering the highest luminance of its class^*1. With a newly developed two-lamp layout system providing high resolution images and the built-in AMF system in both the LP-XF70 and LP-WF20, SANYO is able to successfully offer a projector line-up to customers that maximizes maintenance efficiency, reducing both cost and time.

LP-XF70 Feature

　The Active Maintenance Filter system automatically senses when air intake is blocked or clogged by dust or dirt, and uses this air flow as an indicator when to automatically reel the filter, eliminating the need for maintenance personnel to constantly open each filter casing to check manually. The filter is mounted on a cartridge-type reel that simply advances the filter to the next clean filter automatically. With this function, manual replacements of filter cartridges are only necessary when the cartridge reel has advanced through the pre-loaded 10 filters. The filter function helps each filter last longer, the industry's longest of approximately 10,000 hours^*6. Moreover, no screws are used in these cartridge-type filters, making recycling easier.

*6 For projectors, filter changes should be made approx. 10,000 projector hours
