Light passes through these panels and the image is recreated by combining these three flows.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"7\">Color reproduction on LCD screens<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"8\">Thanks to this mechanism, the colors are <b data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"45\">natural, balanced and faithful<\/b>.<\/p><ul><li data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">violet<\/b> = red + blue<\/li><li><b data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">white<\/b> = red + green + blue<\/li><\/ul><p data-path-to-node=\"10\">This technology is especially valued for the <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"58\">presentations<\/b>, the <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"77\">detailed visual content<\/b> and the <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"111\">professional environments<\/b>.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"11\">The limitations of the LCD screen<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"12\">The main drawback of LCD screens lies in their handling of black. Even when the image should be black, light still passes through and the <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"143\">Blacks appear as dark gray<\/b>. The result is a <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"188\">less marked contrast<\/b> and a loss of depth in dark scenes.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"13\">Useful life<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"14\">LCD screens have an average lifespan of <b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"49\">between 7,000 and 10,000 hours<\/b> (depending on temperature, ventilation and use).<\/p><h2 data-path-to-node=\"15\">DLP technology: operation and features<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"16\">DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology works in a completely different way. It uses <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"94\">micromirrors<\/b> that reflect or block light. The result is that the <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"162\">Black corresponds to a total absence of light<\/b> and the white to maximum reflection. This allows you to obtain a <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"273\">very high contrast<\/b>.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"17\">DLP image reproduction<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"18\">Main advantages: <b data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"20\">Deep blacks, high contrast, sharp and dynamic image<\/b>.
