							Long-Life High-Performance DLP® Picture
With DLP® technology, the projectors maintain a uniform color reproduction capa-
bility for an exceptionally long period of time.  DLP® chip formation, in coordination 
with finely structured mirrors, additionally provides stable performan\
ce and delivers 
high-quality pictures for extended periods.
In addition, because there 
is no burn-in or remaining 
afterimage, the projectors 
are ideal for still picture 
projection such as for guid-
ance board applications and 
projecting CAD images.
BrilliantColor™ Technology with Six-Segment Color Wheel
BrilliantColor™ Technology improves picture brilliance 
particularly for intermediate colors, providing natural, 
detailed images. Sharp has also developed a 3x Speed 
Color Wheel with six color segments including yellow  
and cyan added to red, green, blue and white. With 
Sharp’s unique color matching technology and these six 
color combinations, images are reproduced with extreme 
high accuracy.
Cutting Edge Technology Provides High-Quality Pictures
DLP® Performance with BrilliantColor™ Technology and Six-Segment Color Wheel  
Provides Superior Color Reproduction with Exceptionally High Image Quality
DVI-I Terminal with DLP® System for Full Digital Projection
Full digital projection with the DVI input terminal and DLP system enabl\
es virtually 
noise-free images from digital sources.  The terminal also complies with\
 High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) to support digital video content in 
high-definition. This DVI-I terminal additionally may be used as a second analog 
RGB input when coupled with an appropriate adapter or interface.
2200:1 High-Contrast, High-Quality Image
By utilizing the DLP® optical system and Sharp’s optical technology,  
these projectors produce crisp details and sharper blacks in black parts 
thanks to a 2200:1 high contrast ratio.

2200: 1 400:1
DLP® Digital Image
Using a DLP® chip, the image is composed of more than a half million micromir -
rors which are separated from each other by a distance of merely one mic\
ron.  
This provides a seamless, finely detailed picture.  High-speed on/off \
switching 
additionally helps deliver smooth full-motion video.
3x Speed Color Wheel
The projectors employ a color wheel with an engine speed of up to 3x, im\
proving 
color break-up to an invisible level. Also, the non-contact Fluid Dynami\
c Bearings 
for the high-speed rotating color wheel axle have an extremely long life\
span.
IP Conversion Image Processing
Image Processing provides optimal video performance.
The motion-adaptive scan images produce smooth moving scenes and ensure \
smooth natural lines and edges for 480i and 1080i display.
High Brightness: 3000 ANSI lumens (PG-F317X and PG-F312X), 
2600 ANSI lumens (PG-F262X), 2300 ANSI lumens (PG-F212X)
Sharp’s advanced optoelectronics technology maximizes light output, providing \
crystal clear images in amazingly high brightness.
Low Fan Noise
The DLP® high-speed color wheel with non-contact Fluid Dynamic Bearings, 
together with multiple ultra-quiet cooling fans, reduce unpleasant noise\
, enabling 
quiet operation at 29dB in Quiet Mode. The operation is so quiet it typi\
cally 
causes no disturbance, even in meetings or school classes.
Filter-Free Design
The DLP® sealed system limits dust, dirt and smoke from entering core parts of 
the optics. The system also needs no filter and less maintenance, resu\
lting in a 
lower cost of ownership and longer lifespan.
