British film chiefs are aiming to revolutionise the country's cinemas by installing 250 hi-tech digital projectors with £13m of lottery money.
The move will make it easier for film- lovers to see arthouse films because distribution costs will be slashed, the UK Film Council has said.
Digital projectors do not require reels of film, can receive films by satellite and provide higher-quality screenings. The new network will double the world's total of digital screens.
In March, there were 190 digital projectors around the world - with fewer than a dozen in the UK. The 250 new projectors will be installed in about 150 cinemas across the UK by the end of 2004, the UK Film Council has said.
Currently, arthouse and specialist films usually get issued with between 20-70 prints, which cost £1,000 a time. Cinemas with digital projectors will have to dedicate a portion of their screening time to niche films to ensure there is more choice for their customers.
"Unless they live in a small number of major cities, cinema-goers in the UK often have an extremely limited choice of films available to them," UK Film Council chief executive John Woodward said. "The aim of the network is to use state-of-the-art technology to cut the cost of distributing films." It would provide a "cost-effective way of making a broader range of films available to the public", he added.

More official news of 4k from Sony.
babelfish translation from a Sony web page
Press release table of contents

Actualizing 4 time thing Kousei detail of full HDTV
Developing super Kousei small liquid crystal display panel "4 K SXRD"
- In projector for digital cinema development -
As for the SONY corporation, 885 ten thousand pixels which exceed full HDTV (4096H×2160V) resolution, 4000: The liquid crystal display device ' 4 K for the super Kousei small projector which SXRD actualizes the highcontrast of 1 (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display)* 1'it developed.
This corporation last year full HDTV (1920H the ×1080V 200 ten thousand pixels) succeeds in the development of liquid crystal display device, "2K SXRD" is on-board onto the first full HDTV front projector "QUALIA 004" for home already. This time it developed' 4K SXRD ', resolution of the 4 times (as a projector the worldwide highest) with furthermore to actualize high contrast, the smoothness like the silk, it makes the black reappearance which tightens possible, Takasina rank it is possible to create image.
At the time of loading to the projector, RGB of the basic 3 primary color which forms image (every red green blue color) this device is used, the super Kousei small display whose image expression of 2655 ten thousand pixels is possible actualizes.
This corporation introduces this super Kousei small liquid crystal device, to the movie industry where the movement of digitalization accelerates, directing to merchandising during 2004 the cinema and in addition as a projector of large picture use, we examine.
Furthermore, "2K SXRD" of previous development, you insert also development to the rear projection television for home which enjoys the contents of the high picture quality which accelerate more and more & the high resolution which in the large picture in range of vision and start advancing.
< Background of development >
The movie shows the movement which moves to the direction of the digital cinema which utilizes digital technology from the former system which uses the film. As for the digital cinema, in the system which uses the former film in "the production" "transmission" of the movie "screening", soft operation and the high picture quality which could not be thought become possible. SONY merchandises, the movie production system "CineAlta by digital video (シネアルタ)" depends on worldwide first digital video in 1999 June the appraisal where "star wars episode 2", is photographed & is produced by the SONY system, is high is received.
On the one hand, the projector of the high quality where it is not inferior to the film in "screening", is required. This device actualizes worldwide highest resolution at mass production level as a projector, digital cinema initiative (DCI) it is propulsion specification as a worldwide standard of the projector for the digital cinema, "4 K (4096H×2160V)" it becomes the new display device which is filled up.
1 4K (4096H×2160V): It consists the member of the Hollywood movie studio "digital cinema initiative (DCI)" the specification which has promoted.
SXRD: (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display). As for X-tal the meaning of Crystal.
In 2003 February at diagonal 0.78 inch 200 ten thousand pixels (the pixel of 9 ｵ m pitches it succeeds in development with space 0.35 ｵ m between the worldwide smallest pixel arrangement) as a liquid crystal display device.
- The main merit "of 4 K SXRD"
1. At until recently high resolution of full HDTV ratio 4 time, high brightness, actualizing Takasina rank image high contrast ratio
Super high resolution: 885 ten thousand pixels (4K: 4096H×2160V)
As for actualization of high resolution conversion, until recently the pixel pitch which is 9 ｵ m, as for the pixel between space while they were former 0.35 ｵ m it reduced in 8.5 ｵ m with the optimization of the drive circuit design inside the pixel, 10% made the pixel area decrease. It became possible because of this to accumulate 885 ten thousand thing pixels within 1.55 inch diagonal sizes. Furthermore, precision it does the drive of 885 ten thousand thing pixels which are 4 times that or more the full HDTV which is assumed that it is difficult until recently, on the silicon substrate, starts making smooth image well "design technology of the drive element" and "individual signal entry technology" were established. Because of this, the fixed pixel peculiar mesh impression is not made to feel even at the screen size which exceeds 300 inches, super Kousei detail and Takasina rank image is actualized.
< High brightness: Former ratio 4 time >
Brightness of the projector if the illumination light intensity of the lamp is the same, is proportionate to the size of the panel in general. It reached the point where it can actualize high brightness due to the fact that the result and the illumination area which this time enlarge panel size than former 0.78 inches in 1.55 inches reach approximately 4 times. Furthermore, it improved reflectance ratio of light to 72% where it is higher than panel 65% until recently.
With these, regarding the projector which high brightness for the cinema is required, it became possible sufficiently to offer practical brightness.
< High contrast: 4000:1 >
High contrast being able to actualize SXRD, is the vertical orientation liquid crystal material of the SONY individual specification, with the adoption of liquid crystal orientation control technology of thin liquid crystal cell thick device structure and inorganic material. Furthermore the high durability where this time, already it is obtained by the optimization of membrane technology of the orientation membrane, was not impaired, device contrast 4000:1 was actualized. (Until recently "2 K SXRD" 3000:1)
2. Actualization of high quality and potential for mass production
Guaranty the quality potential for mass production which develops wafer unit panel conversion process < regarding the large-sized panel, is high >
Generally, after dividing the silicon drive baseplate and the counter electrode baseplate into the individual panel, doing to make compete, it uses the production process which assembles the liquid crystal cell, but with SONY SXRD, after making the silicon wafer of 8 inches compete with bundle dividing, the to panel it actualizes the process which is converted.
Furthermore this time, regarding big size panel size 1.55 inches as the projection device, the cell interval whose 2 microns or less quite is narrow until recently in the same way, without using the spacer,*the wafer unit panel conversion process technology which can be produced uniformly inside 2 panel surfaces was established. Because of this, during panel conversion processing be able to lighten the penetration of the dust which becomes problem very substantially, high potential for mass production is guaranteed. Simultaneously, completely there is no picture noise by the dust and the spacer, in addition in inside the panel surface very, quite high picture quality of uniform brightness it reached the point where image can be obtained.
* 2 Generally, because cell interval is maintained the glass beads spacer and the post spacer are used inside the liquid crystal cell.
What do we make of this? It is time for JVC to show their cards now. I am waiting for an lcos product to demonstrate something that is 15000-20000 ANSI lumen. Xenon light is ok to start with and then I expect rgb lasers to be used when that is possible.
