The World’s Smallest & Lightest*1 High-Brightness Compact Projector, Balancing Eco-Friendliness with Workflow Efficiency
Case Study — LCD Laser Projector PT-VMZ82 Series
Power Efficiency Approx. 27% Improvement
Recycled Material Usage in Main Unit PlasticApprox. 59 %
The Customer’s Challenge
In office and educational settings, clear images are required regardless of location or brightness. In addition to the conventional challenges of high-performance projectors, such as installation constraints and power consumption, energy and resource conservation have now become key factors in equipment selection.
Our Approach and Solution
Providing the PT-VMZ82 Series
High Brightness and High-Quality Images:
With 8,000lm brightness and a 5,000,000:1 high contrast ratio, the projector precisely reproduces images with significant differences in light and dark. WUXGA resolution ensures that fine text and graphs are projected clearly.
World’s Smallest and Lightest*¹ Flexible Installation:
The compact body blends into various spaces. Even when ceiling-mounted, the chassis is less noticeable, contributing to an unobstructed viewing environment. It features a wide-range lens shift, 1.6x zoom, and a 6-Point Correction function.
Stress-Free Operation:
Features include a Quick Startup function that boots in about 1 second and a quiet design operating at just 25dB*². The Data Cloning function, which copies settings across multiple units, improves operational efficiency.
*1. For LCD laser projectors of 8,000 lm or higher (PT-VMZ82J) and 7,300 lm or higher (PT-VMZ72J). As of October 2025. Based on our own research.
*2. In QUIET 2 mode for PT-VMZ62J. For other models, please check the specifications.
Benefits and Business Impact
Streamlined Business Processes
The world’s smallest and lightest*¹ design, combined with installation support features, reduces the time and effort required for setup.
Improved Communication Quality
High brightness and image quality enhance the accuracy of information transmission and ensure stress-free visibility.
Optimized Lifecycle Costs
The adoption of a laser light source requiring no replacement for 20,000 hours*³ and a long-life eco-filter reduces maintenance hassle.

*3. This is the usage time until light output is halved under the following conditions: Picture Mode: Dynamic , Dynamic Contrast: 2 , projecting IEC62087:2008 broadcast content, temperature 30 °C (86 °F), altitude 700 m (2,297 ft), and dust conditions of 0.15 mg/m³.
The time until light output is halved varies depending on usage conditions and environment. Filter cleaning cycle: 20,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.08 mg/m³) / 10,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.15 mg/m³).
The filter cleaning cycle varies depending on usage conditions and environment.
Contributions to Sustainability
Reduction of CO₂ Emissions
A high-efficiency optical engine improves power efficiency by approximately 27% compared to the previous series*⁴, reducing power consumption while maintaining high brightness.
Sustainable Design
We have thoroughly implemented a "plastics-free" packaging policy, using no Styrofoam. Approximately 59%*⁵ of the main unit’s plastic is made from recycled resin, promoting the effective use of resources throughout the product lifecycle.
