JVC 8K4K D-ILA Projector LCD

JVC just rolled out its 1.75″ 8K4K D-ILA (Direct-Drive Image Light Amplifier) which is capable of outputting 17x full, 1080p high definition from a projector. That, my friends, is roughly the equivalent of a 35-megapixel image at a whopping 8,192 x 4,320 resolution. Size isn’t all that matters, but pixel density as well as JVC managed to successfully increase the ratio of area per pixel by 50% over its predecessor’s 4,096 x 2,400 LCD panel that was developed in June last year. I guess if JVC wants to lay claim to the title of World’s first real Super Hi-Vision definition device, they have every right to do so. The commercial release will be sometime in January next year, hopefully it won’t be too expensive by then.
