Epson recently held a new home projector launch event in Shanghai under the theme “Harmony of Color and Sound, Core-Driven Natural Brilliance,” officially introducing the EF-52 series flagship 4K smart projector and the EF-50 series colorful 4K smart projector. The innovative “Three-Chip Three-Color Full-Color Engine” projection technology redefines home projection image quality standards.
The “Three-Chip Three-Color Full-Color Engine” is based on Epson’s self-developed 3LCD core technology, where red, green, and blue light sources precisely correspond to three LCD panels, bypassing traditional light-splitting processes and significantly improving light energy utilization and color performance. This system achieves breakthroughs in three key dimensions: image quality, size, and heat dissipation—not only delivering cinema-level color purity and image performance but also being an ultra-compact three-chip 4K projection engine, equipped with a dedicated cooling system designed for three-color light sources to ensure stable, quiet, and efficient operation.
As the flagship model in this launch, the Epson EF-52 series features the “Three-Chip Three-Color Full-Color Engine,” with a dynamic contrast ratio of up to 5,000,000:1, support for HDR10/HLG, and regional contrast optimization technology, accurately presenting dark details and bright highlights. Additionally, the EF-52 comes with a Sound by Bose audio system, achieving natural integration of visuals and sound, allowing viewers to enjoy a cinema-level immersive experience at home.
Notably, the Epson EF-52 series also collaborates with Marvel, combining classic superhero imagery with high-end industrial design to convey the cross-disciplinary charm of “technology × culture,” injecting personalized energy into visual entertainment.
Meanwhile, addressing diverse home entertainment needs, Epson launched the EF-50 series targeting younger audiences, also utilizing the “Three-Chip Three-Color Full-Color Engine” to deliver high-definition, high-color-accuracy 4K image performance. The body design continues Epson’s consistent lightweight and minimalist style, suitable for various scenarios, from home viewing to small gatherings. With high cost-effectiveness and excellent image quality, the EF-50 series is an ideal choice for the new generation seeking a quality lifestyle.
At the launch event, Epson and Tencent Video·Aurora TV announced the continuation of their deepened strategic partnership. The two have jointly developed a “Dual Desktop UI System,” with plans to introduce the “Tencent Video AI Smart Assistant” for voice control and intelligent content recommendations. Epson’s EF series has become one of the first smart projector products to receive Tencent Video’s “True Color Max+” certification, supporting 4K resolution, 60fps high frame rate, and HDR Vivid technology, with a color gamut increase of approximately 40% and bright detail enhancement by three times, further elevating the visual experience.
To allow attendees to experience the immersive visual effects of the new technology and products firsthand, Epson set up an experiential segment at the event. Four themed zones—”Nature Perception Zone,” “New Technology Zone,” “Marvel Collaboration Zone,” and “Flagship Private Cinema”—comprehensively showcased the innovative appeal of the EF series, from image quality to sound effects, and from technology to art. The “Nature Perception Zone” combined Sound by Bose audio with fragrance devices to create a vibrant immersive space; the “New Technology Zone” allowed audiences to directly experience the exceptional image quality of the “Three-Chip Three-Color Full-Color Engine”; and the “Marvel Collaboration Zone” attracted numerous fans, becoming a popular highlight.
From technological research and development to ecosystem co-creation, Epson consistently adheres to the “Technology + Localization” strategic path, continuously deepening innovative collaborations with partners. Leveraging profound expertise in optics, display, and smart systems, Epson is constantly pushing the boundaries of imaging, using robust technical capabilities and a comprehensive ecosystem to create more natural, realistic, and intelligent large-screen home experiences for users.
