Outstanding Picture Quality
SOLID SHINE Laser Delivers Higher Brightness for Longer
Panasonic’s SOLID SHINE Laser is based on solid-state laser light sources and an all-new heat-resistant phosphor
wheel. This dependable technology delivers exceptionally high brightness and resolution while limiting image degradation
over years of continuous 24/7 operation.
3-Chip DLP™
Three Independent DLP™ Chips
for Accurate Color Reproduction
Our 3-Chip DLP™ SOLID SHINE Laser projectors feature
independent DLP™ modules for red, green, and blue and a
high-quality Color Filter Prism for extremely accurate,
Rec. 709-compliant color performance. The blue laser, meanwhile,
ensures greater precision while an expanded color gamut improves
white balance accuracy for natural and lifelike image reproduction.
• 3-Chip DLP™ Laser Projection System
1-Chip DLP™
Quartet Color Harmonizer
• 1-Chip DLP™ Laser Projection System
The Quartet Color Harmonizer optical drive for 1-Chip DLP™
projectors enables image quality beyond any competitive
lamp-based system with all the day-to-day benefits of laser
projection. It improves color and white balance accuracy and
enhances brightness by eliminating the white segment from
the color wheel and adding a yellow segment to conventional
RGB segments.
• Benefit: Balanced Color and Brightness
Quartet Color Harmonizer maximizes available light-source
power through each color channel to provide an ideal
balance of each hue. The viewer is presented with a picture
that closely resembles what is seen in real life. And because
light loss through each channel is decreased, there is also
a tangible boost in perceived brightness.
• Benefit: Accurate White Balance
Quartet Color Harmonizer captures a wider section of the color gamut than comparable laser projectors, which in turn
allows white to be more accurately represented on screen. If an ideal white balance isn’t achieved, images can appear
with a distracting greenish tint. Panasonic SOLID SHINE Laser projectors featuring Quartet Color Harmonizer produce
whites with unparalleled accuracy for natural and realistic picture quality.
• Rich Color Enhancer
Rich Color Enhancer on the PT-RZ570 Series offers a Dynamic Mode setting to increase image brightness, or Graphic
Mode/Standard Mode, which adjusts color-wheel timing to produce deeper, richer colors in rooms where maximum
brightness is unnecessary.
Long-lasting Maintenance-free Reliability
Dust-Resistant Airtight Design
Image brightness is greatly affected by dust. Panasonic projectors are
tested for dustproof compliance under extremely severe conditions.
An airtight optical block makes SOLID SHINE Laser projectors ideal for use in harsh environments. Areas with high traffic
(such as lecture halls and seminar rooms) rapidly accumulate dust, reducing picture quality and product lifespan. SOLID
SHINE Laser products counter this by exceeding rigorous dustproofing test requirements, enabling 20,000-hour*
maintenance-free operation for the whole projector unit. The SOLID SHINE Laser optical block—the heart of the projector
—is airtight. Furthermore, Panasonic 3-Chip DLP™ Laser projectors add a high-quality air filter and hermetically sealed
light source that extends life and maintains picture quality in locations with high dust contamination.
SOLID SHINE Laser products comply with Japanese Building Maintenance Association and ASHRAE guidelines for
operation in environments containing 0.150 mg of dust per cubic meter.
• Guidelines for Dust Resistance
* Panasonic recommends cleaning or checkup at point of purchase after 20,000 hours (approximately). Light source lifetime may be
reduced depending on environmental conditions. Dustproof tests are conducted to confirm operational effectiveness under conditions
with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter (based on tests by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning
Engineers [ASHRAE], and the Japanese Building Maintenance Association). Measurements are made using acceleration tests.
Efficient Cooling System Assures Reliable Operation
SOLID SHINE Laser projectors have unique cooling systems
to suppress temperature rises and ensure stable operation.
Selected models use a direct liquid-cooling system for the
laser light source with a redesigned air intake and solid
aluminum heat sink. This allows dependable operation in
ambient temperatures of up to 50 °C (122 °F)* while reducing
operating noise.
* For PT-RZ12K/RS11K. Please visit the product information pages
for individual models for details.

Selectable Operational Modes
SOLID SHINE Laser projectors offer five selectable operational modes that help you find the ideal blend of brightness
and maintenance-free longevity. In many situations—for example, in dark museums, or in control and surveillance
rooms—full power isn't necessary. Instead, users can choose any of three lower-brightness Long Life Modes that
extend 24/7, 365-day operation up to 87,600 hours* without needing to purchase and install a replacement light
source. That equates to about 10 years* of essentially uninterrupted service with minimal reduction in picture quality.
* With OPERATING MODE set to LONG LIFE 3. Replacement of parts other than the light source may be required within a shorter
period. 24 hours/day × 365 days/year × 10 years = 87,600 hours.
* Featured on PT-RZ670 models and above.
Durable Optical Engine for Continuous 24-hour Operation
Selected models feature a Dual Drive Laser Optical Engine*1 featuring two
discrete light sources grouping laser diodes into modules. A failsafe
laser-light-source redundancy circuit ensures minimal reduction in
brightness and color uniformity in the event of laser diode failure—ideal for
mission-critical applications. Brightness also decreases gradually and in a
linear rather than exponential fashion (as is common with lamp-based
projectors) over its 20,000-hour*2 maintenance-free service life.
*1 Excluding PT-RZ570.
*2 Panasonic recommends cleaning at point of purchase after approximately 20,000 hours. Light source lifetime
may be reduced depending on environmental conditions. Replacement of parts other than the light source may be
required in a shorter period.
Flexible Installation
360-degree Free Installation
Projection at Higher Altitudes
SOLID SHINE Laser projectors can be mounted vertically
or horizontally through 360 degrees. This flexibility
enables projection from virtually any angle.
SOLID SHINE Laser projectors can be used at higher
elevations than lamp-based products—up to 4,200 m*
—with comparably less reduction in brightness.
* Please visit the product information pages for individual
projector models for details on operating temperatures in
various conditions.
Other Features
Safety Laser System
A diffusing lens ensures that laser light is no more harmful to eyesight than a regular lamp projector, as it reduces
the concentration of laser beam energy.
Eco-Conscious Design
Designed in Japan
No lead, mercury, or halogenated flame-retarding
materials are used throughout SOLID SHINE Laser
projectors, which are RoHS Directive compliant.
SOLID SHINE Laser projectors are designed at the
Panasonic facility in Japan, and manufactured in
accordance with stringent Quality Assurance standards.
