The new limited edition DLA-25LTD achieves a native contrast of 150,000:1 by using carefully selected D-ILA chips and optical devices. In addition, it has a special exterior design and other features to commemorate the anniversary. Just 25 of these special models will be offered in North America.
Description Model No. Body Color MSRP Availability
D-ILA Projector DLA-25LTD Black $29,999.95 Dec/Mid.
The free firmware upgrade offers new features, improved performance and enhanced ease of operation for all current generation D-ILA projectors: DLA- NZ9, DLA-NZ8, DLA-NZ7, DLA-NP5, DLA-RS4100, DLA-RS3100, DLA-RS2100 and DLA-RS1100. This update will be released mid-November.
The D-ILA device, developed by JVC, is the company’s unique version of LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon), a reflective liquid crystal device for projectors. It is best known for having industry-leading black level and contrast, along with excellent color, high brightness and high resolution.
In 1997 JVC succeeded in developing the SXGA (1.3 million pixels) type, and in 2000 the company achieved 4K resolution. 0.7-inch full HD devices were developed in 2007. Furthermore, in 2016, JVC developed the world's smallest (at the time) 0.69-inch 4K device. The company’s ongoing focus has been to achieve miniaturization and high contrast as a device for high-end projectors.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the D-ILA device, and to commemorate this anniversary JVC offers the DLA-25LTD as a limited edition of 25 units in North America with special specifications.

The firmware upgrade for all current generation D-ILA projectors includes improved Frame Adapt HDR picture performance, additional Frame Adapt picture modes, a new mode for Laser Dynamic Control with the laser light source on laser-equipped models, and the easiest operation for the end user.
In addition, since July 2022, D-ILA projectors have been manufactured at our factory in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. This is the birthplace of D-ILA, and is also where our D-ILA devices are produced.

Firmware Upgrade
1．Improvements to Frame Adapt HDR:
(a) New HDR level mode added to Frame Adapt HDR
In addition to the existing Auto mode, a new Auto (Wide) mode has been added to the HDR Quantizer setting, which places more emphasis on brightness. Users can enjoy more dynamic HDR images according to their preference.
(b) Two additional picture modes that can be adjusted based on Frame Adapt HDR
Two additional modes have been added to the popular Frame Adapt HDR picture mode for HDR10. The total of three modes enables memory for favorite settings according to various room/ambient light conditions.
2. New Laser Dynamic Control mode for laser models
Control was previously based on the average luminance of the entire scene. With the new mode, adjustment is based on peak luminance, resulting in images with increased dynamic range. In particular, the new mode improves reproduction of content such as stars twinkling in pitch blackness and nightscapes. In addition, even images with low peak luminance can be enjoyed with a greater sense of contrast.
3. FILMMAKER MODE™, a new picture quality mode that faithfully reproduces the
filmmaker's intentions
