On June 13, 2007, Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. announced that they will launch LP-XL50, a front projector that can project 80-inch images from a distance of 49 cm.

The product will be available from December 21, 2007. And the company reports that the product will be priced at around 600,000 yen (USD 4,861).

Although the projection distance is 46 cm, the distance between the chassis and the wall may be only 8 cm. The projection distance of the company’s existing model LP-XL40 is 103 cm. The projector is targeted for the educational applications and so on.

The product uses the company’s proprietary aspheric mirror in the optical system to reduce the projection distance. The focus adjustment and image enlargement are carried out while the incident light is reflected on the mirror.
