RealD has unveiled its Ultimate Screen technology designed to preserve polarisation in cinemas.
After piloting the technology in the UK and US, RealD has unveiled Ultimate Screen following 7 years of development. Suitable for 2D and 3D films, the matte screen is moulded to control how light is projected.
It offers a stereo contrast ration of 1000:1 to reduce ghosting and create a higher quality 3D image. RealD state that using Ultimate Screen reduces traces of ‘speckle’ from projectors and is potentially ‘85% more light efficient’ than silver screens.
The technology has been trialled by chains including Odeon and AMC.
