Theater Projection Port Glass Windows Provide Eye Popping Optical Clarity For On-Screen Viewing
Santa Paula, CA – March 23, 2023, Abrisa Technologies’ ClearView™ projection port window glass is fabricated using an optically clear, colorless glass with a 2-sided, multi-layer broadband anti-reflective (AR) coating, increasing transmissivity thereby ensuring a high quality, bright, and sharp screen image, with a transmission rate between 98% and 99%.
Optical performance is the key factor in selecting a projection port window and ClearView™ has the essential optical qualities for eye popping clarity on screen.
Advanced optical technology for projection port windows became a necessity with the introduction of digital projectors. Projection port glass windows can be found in IMAX® Theaters, digital cinemas, 3D projection technology, entertainment centers, home theaters, and even museum settings. The purpose of projection port windows is to allow light, contrast, and color to optimally project to the viewing screen. Regular glass absorbs colors and brightness of projected light, dulling the viewed image seen on the screen, creating image quality that can be quite poor.
According to Susan Hirst, General Manager for Abrisa Industrial Glass (AIG), a division of Abrisa Technologies, “Our ClearView™ theater projection port glass windows generally have a lead time of 1 week from order placement. Our ability to quickly turn the product is an essential benefit for this application in the entertainment industry.”
Projection Port Windows are available in the following thicknesses:
- 3mm or 1/8”
- 6mm or 15/64”
- 10mm or 25/64”
- 12mm or 15/32”
Custom sizes with dimensions as large as 120” x 82” can be manufactured.
