Elite Prime Vision Unveils DarkStar UST eFinity Screen BOOTH 1325 Elite Prime Vision (EPV), the dedicated Custom Install division of Elite Screens Inc., is introducing its DarkStar UST eFinity projection screen at CEDIA 2017. The DarkStar UST eFinity brings projectors and screens into the prominent role of household TV screen by replacing a large flat-panel with a largerthan-life visual experience. It does this by pairing its ambient light rejecting capacity with the ability to be used with ultra short throw (UST) projectors. The design features EPV’s trademarked Edge Free design that also features a sleek, 9mm bezel and variable
color and mode LED backlighting kit. EPV’s DarkStar UST utilizes a multiple-layered optical microstructure to filter out up to 95 percent of overhead lighting. It accomplishes this with successive rows of microscopic angled serriform structures that channel light from table-mounted UST projectors with a throw distance of less than 0.3 of the screen’s width. The angle of the microstructures successfully absorbs overhead lighting while its multiple layers enhance black levels and color neutrality. Consequently, the material greatly enhances color contrast and dynamic range while maintaining a 180-degree viewing angle.
