3M, the diversified technology company, will exhibit a range of projection and digital display product innovations at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2009, 3-5 February, Amsterdam RAI, Stand #10I144.

Stand highlights include 3M's tiny handheld micro projector for the business traveller market, new short-throw projection systems for classrooms and conference facilities, and rear projection technology for high impact, digital advertising and signage applications.

MPro110 Micro Projector

Launched in October, 3M's MPro110 micro professional projector is comparable to the size of a Smartphone, weighs just 152 grams and measures 115 x 50 x 22 mm. MPro110 is easily connected to a laptop for instant large screen projection on nearby flat surfaces such as walls or ceilings. Photos, video clips, presentations and other visual media can be projected from 5 inches up to 50 inches diagonal. The micro projector can also connect to a range of other digital applications such as multimedia mobile phones, iPods, digital cameras and games consoles.

MPro110 is ideal for business travellers who deliver a lot of presentations but do not want to carry bulky desktop projectors around with them. It is particularly useful for giving impromptu sales pitches to customers while on the road or in a last minute meeting. Equipment hire and availability hassles can be avoided, and crowding uncomfortably round a laptop in confined spaces during meetings need no longer be an issue. MPro110 received the Crystal Disc (best product) award at INVEX, International Trade Fair of Information and Communication Solutions for Business Development, held in the Czech Republic, 6-9 October 2008.

Short-throw Projection Systems

Brand new for ISE will be a new modular projection system, the SCP716, featuring all the outstanding attributes of the current SCP712 modular system plus enhanced features. These include 2400 lumens brightness, long lamp life of 5,000 hours, which significantly reduces cost of ownership, and DLP BrilliantColour technology for outstanding vibrant, rich colours. 3M's SCP716 modular system scales from basic data projection up to a high specification multimedia solution, depending on customers' specific needs and budgets.

The system includes SCP716 projector, featuring revolutionary Vikuiti Super Close Projection technology from 3M, with fixed wall-mount, folding wall-mount without speakers, folding wall mount with speakers, I/O connection box and annotation pod as optional items.

Alongside this new model, 3M will show its new SCP717 desktop and wall mounted super close projector and SCP740 high brightness WXGA projector. The SCP717 is one of the first high brightness, DLP, short-throw projectors to enter the market and is ideal for space-challenged conference rooms, or boardrooms, schools and colleges. The extreme off-axis short throw capability of the SCP717 replaces the need for traditional ceiling mount projectors and greatly reduces light shining in the presenter's eyes. It has an integrated wind tunnel design to minimise heat and fan noise, it is highly portable and its fully integrated connectivity also makes it a perfect tabletop media hub.

The SCP740 is designed to match the increasingly wider screen sizes of today's laptops and to support popular video formats such as HDTV. This wide screen output is especially useful when business presenters wish to display Excel spreadsheets and other data type applications. The SCP740 also features full connectivity making it an ideal desktop media device. Using Vikuiti Super Close Projection the SCP740 can project larger images from shorter distances (60 inch projection from 35 inches and 100 inch projection from 58.4 inches), which minimises shadowing and light in the presenter's eyes.

Vikuiti Rear Projection Film from 3M

Also on the stand will be the revolutionary and highly versatile Vikuiti Rear Projection Film capable of transforming a window or glass panel into a vibrant branding and promotions tool by enabling video, static images and dynamic messaging to be projected directly onto its surface. Unlike other window display systems, Vikuiti Film offers crisp, high contrast image quality combined with a wide viewing angle of 180 degrees. It is also the only film that can be effectively viewed in daylight and in bright ambient light locations. The flexibility of Vikuiti Film means it can be cut to any desired shape and size, reflecting, for example, company logos and brands. It is also lightweight, easy to install and can be applied to rigid clear acrylic panels to create easily-portable displays.
