1.1 Development objectives
The LCD projector market is expected to grow 25% year-on-year in 2001. In
particular, the micro-portable projectors (3 kg or less) are expected to be dominant in
the market and have a share of 59% (27% in 2000). (World Wide: Fuji Kimera Research
Institute, Inc.) However, there are already approx. 20 XGA models in the market and
the competition is sure to become even more cutthroat.
Canon put the LV-7105 (XGA) and LV-5110 (SVGA) in the market in May 2001. It
needs to introduce new competitive products because competition among leading
makers is intensifying and other manufacturers have put many new products in market.
The LV-X1 contains the first Canon-made optical box and uses its own technology for
projection lenses, prisms and optical system components to achieve the top-class
brightness with a compact and low-priced model. Although it is an alliance product, it
incorporates the Canon's ideas in video processing and design, and aims at
outperforming competitors. It is an important model as a milestone for manufacturing
Canon's own projectors.
The LV-S1 is the first SVGA model equipped with the first optical box made by Canon
and has been developed as a model in the Canon's lineup of new-generation projectors.
It has the same performance and mobility as the XGA model, LV-X1, but has a lower
price to improve cost effectiveness and expand the share in the office personal
equipment and SOHO market.
