Press Release  |  Feb 15, 2001

Industry Leader Powerful Performance in Smallest Ever Footprint

WILSONVILLE, Ore., February 15, 2001 - InFocus Corporation® (NASDAQ:INFS, OSE: IFC), the worldwide leader in digital projection and pioneer in mobile projection technology, today announced its premium three-pound digital projector - the new benchmark in projector portability. The InFocus LP130 is 40 percent smaller than last year's number one selling microportable (the InFocus LP330/335) and features 1100 lumens of brightness, true multimedia functionality and XGA resolution. This projector incorporates Digital Light Processing(tm) technology from Texas Instruments and offers outstanding color clarity, integrated video and digital connectivity. With no compromises on performance, weight or quality, InFocus has set the new standard for mobile projection.

Remarkable Growth Potential in the Personal Projector Market
According to International Data Corporation, the microportable projector category is expected to more than double in 2001, with approximately 335,000 units expected to sell worldwide this year. "A number of innovations and technology advancements have come together to reduce the size and weight of projectors while simultaneously increasing the brightness and resolution of these portable devices. Those factors, combined with a growing number of mobile professionals, have rapidly shifted projectors from specialty items to essential business tools," said Eric Haruki, research manager with IDC.

Powerful Performance in the Industry's Smallest Package

  • Ultra mobility - Measuring only 110 cubic inches, the LP130 is smaller than a laptop PC. With dimensions of 6.7 inches by 8.6 inches by 2 inches, it provides remarkable performance in its three-pound package
  • Superior brightness and color clarity - At 1100 lumens, the LP130 is one of the brightest digital projectors in the mobile category with color quality surpassing any other DLP(tm) projector in its class
  • True 1024 x 768 (XGA) resolution and 400:1 contrast ratio - Incorporates the latest DLP* technology, enabling crisp, clear images, exceptional resolution and brilliant color contrast for even brighter appearance
  • Future-ready - Features HDTV compatibility and the standard M1-DA connector that incorporates Digital Visual Interface (DVI) digital, analog and USB connectivity
  • Multimedia functionality - ready to present - Includes integrated video and multiple source options, combined with a zoom lens and digital keystone correction
  • Cutting-edge design - The LP130's modern design features a strong and light magnesium case, standard notebook PC style power cable, and a 2000-hour lamp life

Ideal for multimedia and traditional business presentations, the InFocus LP130 offers a complete feature set for maximum visual impact and richly detailed images. The LP130 is also suitable for other mobile applications and supports a broad spectrum of image sources including HDTV, DVD-players, camcorders and gaming consoles.

"The InFocus LP130, the second addition to our three-pound family, is the no-compromise, ultimate mobile projector that satisfies the needs of high-powered presenters who demand the best products for their mobile arsenal," said Werner Heid, executive vice president, InFocus Corporation. "By offering a diverse product line in the microportable category, InFocus is uniquely positioned to meet the market's evolving projection needs and take advantage of the category's exceptional growth."
