JVC’s Original Laser Diode Light Source, Offers
Depth and Dimensionality to 8K Imagery
Reliability-proved BLU-Escent Laser Diode for
exceptional brightness and longevity
Vivid colour images achieved with
DCI-P3-equivalent wide colour gamut
The light source for these projectors (except for the DLA-NP5) is the latest blue
laser diode BLU-Escent, which is featured in JVC professional projectors. BLU-
Escent technology has been adopted for home theatre projectors to achieve
exceptional brightness and longevity of 20,000 hours
*6
. Laser diode allows
dynamic control of brightness to reproduce images that are closer to human
perception. Combining the latest BLU-Escent package with the D-ILA device
achieves detailed, smooth, powerful video expression.
*6: In theory, this amounts to 20 years or more while watching a 2.5-hour movie every day.
The use of a laser light source and cinema filters
enables a wide colour gamut equivalent to DCI-P3,
not to mention BT.709. When HDR content is
projected on the DLA-NZ9 or the NZ8, it’s possible
to richly reproduce colours such as the gradations
of the sky and ocean, the contrast of red roses,
or a row of fresh green trees.
NZ8NZ9
Essential all-glass lens to depict all the data in the 8K image
The high-end DLA-NZ9 is equipped with an 18-element, 16-group
all-glass lens featuring a full aluminium lens barrel
*3
. To project high-
resolution 8K images to every corner of the screen, the projector
incorporates five ED lenses calibrated for differences in the R/G/B
refractive index to reduce chromatic aberration and colour fringing
when lens shift kicks in to deliver precise reproduction of 4K- or
8K-resolution
*4
projection.
*3: 65 mm diameter, 17-element, 15-group all glass lens is featured on the DLA-NZ8, NZ7 and NP5
models.
*4: Resolution varies depending on the model.
Ultra-High Contrast Optics with 4K D-ILA device
High-resolution image projection is reliant on the device and the optical system. The
refined 0.69-inch 4K D-ILA device has doubled the speed required to display images from
120 Hz to 240 Hz-equivalent. The new Ultra-High Contrast Optics featured on the DLA-
NZ9 and NZ8 contribute to achieve optical brightness as high as 3,000 lumens
*5
, and the
new optics has dramatically improved the image quality by thoroughly suppressing the
return of unnecessary light to the projection screen.
*5: Brightness of 3,000 lumens for the DLA-NZ9 and 2,500 lumens for the NZ8. Refer to page 10 for the brightness of other models.

Unparalleled black level and high luminance
deliver images brimming with reality
Native contrast as high as 100,000:1 is delivered by these projectors’
*7
optical
engine alone. But on top of that, in combination with the dynamic light source
control, an astonishing dynamic contrast of ∞ (infinity) :1 can be achieved for
models equipped with the BLU-Escent light source.
*7: Native contrast ratio of 100,000:1 for the DLA-NZ9, 80,000:1 for the NZ8, and 40,000:1 for the NZ7, all with ∞:1 dynamic
contrast ratio. The NP5 delivers 40,000:1 native contrast ratio with 400,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

The advantage of laser diode over lamp is because multiple laser chips make
it possible to compensate for the loss of one chip using other chips.
