In October 2025, Epson officially launched the EF-100W, the world's first laser 3LCD smart projector. With the revolutionary combination of "laser light source + 3LCD technology", it breaks the three major limitations of traditional projectors in brightness, color, and smart experience, bringing a dual leap in image quality and convenience to multiple scenarios such as home entertainment, business offices, and education & training.
I. Technological Innovation: Perfect Integration of Laser and 3LCD
As the industry's first smart projector integrating laser light source and 3LCD display technology, the EF-100W fundamentally addresses the core pain points of traditional projectors:
- Breakthrough in True High Brightness: Equipped with a laser light source, it achieves 2000 lumens of brightness under ISO standards, and the color brightness is completely consistent with white brightness. It can still present clear images even in well-lit environments during the day, completely eliminating the need to "turn off lights for viewing". The laser light source has a lifespan of up to 20,000 hours; calculated based on 2 hours of daily use, it can operate stably for 27 years without frequent replacement of consumables.
- Professional-Level Color Performance: Adopting Epson's iconic 3-chip LCD architecture, it processes red, green, and blue colors independently, eliminating the "rainbow effect" caused by color wheels. It can reproduce 16.77 million colors, and with 10-bit color processing technology, the image quality is far superior to single-chip DLP projectors.
- Extreme Contrast Performance: With a high dynamic contrast ratio of 2,500,000:1, it ensures clear visibility of dark details. Whether it is night scenes in movies or detailed charts in PPTs, it can achieve a layered display effect.
II. Core Performance: Balancing Image Quality and Practical Experience
Based on technological breakthroughs, the EF-100W is built with full-scenario adaptability centered on users' actual needs:
- Flexible Space Adaptation: With a throw ratio of 1.04-1.40 and 1.35x digital zoom, it can project a 100-inch large screen at a distance of only 2.26 meters. The screen size can be freely adjusted between 30-150 inches, easily fitting in small living rooms or compact conference rooms. It also supports 360° arbitrary angle installation. Combined with 2.3-second automatic vertical keystone correction (±45°) and manual horizontal correction (±40°), it can quickly obtain a square image whether used in side projection, ceiling mounting, or desktop placement.
- Upgraded Smart Interaction: It has a built-in Mango TV Milk OS system, with real-time updates of popular TV series and variety shows. The exclusive children's desktop allows control of viewing content and duration. Voice commands via the remote control enable functions such as movie search and weather inquiry. Equipped with 2GB RAM + 8GB ROM, it runs smoothly without lag.
- Quiet Viewing Guarantee: Under ECO mode, the operating noise is as low as 26dB, close to the ambient volume of a library. Combined with 5W Bass Reflex built-in speakers and Bluetooth audio output, it delivers an immersive sound experience without the need for external devices.
III. Full-Scenario Coverage: A Versatile Solution for Home and Office
With its balanced performance, the EF-100W has become an ideal choice for cross-scenario use:
- Home Entertainment Scenario: The diffused reflection imaging technology reduces eye fatigue. The 100-inch large screen combined with high-definition image quality brings a cinema-level experience to both parent-child animation time and friend game parties. It supports wireless screen mirroring and HDMI connection, allowing easy access to mobile phones, game consoles, and other devices.
- Business Office Scenario: The high refresh rate of 100-120Hz ensures no motion blur in dynamic images, and text remains clear and sharp during document presentations. Its compact body is easy to carry, and HDMI and USB ports meet the connection needs of various devices, making meeting reports efficient and convenient.
- Education & Training Scenario: The high-brightness feature adapts to natural light environments in classrooms. The 20,000-hour long lifespan reduces maintenance costs for schools. Equipped with a dual-screen display function, it can show courseware and video resources simultaneously, improving teaching efficiency.
IV. Design and Service: Attention to Details
The product adopts a minimalist Bauhaus design, available in matte black and pearl white, which can naturally integrate into home or office environments. A mounting position for streaming devices is reserved on the back of the body to reduce cable clutter. Currently, the EF-100W has been officially launched on Epson China's official website with a suggested retail price of 6,999 yuan, providing users pursuing high-quality large-screen experiences with a choice that combines technological content and cost-effectiveness.
The EF-100W launched by Epson this time not only fills the market gap for laser 3LCD smart projectors but also sets a new technical benchmark for the projector industry with its product concept of "no false brightness claims, true color reproduction, and zero-operation threshold". Whether for home users or business customers, this product offers a fresh perspective on the unlimited possibilities of large-screen display.
