Developments in projector technology and sustainability

Overview

BenQ has introduced a new generation of business projectors utilizing Solid State Illumination (SSI) technology. This transition from mercury-based lamps to laser and LED alternatives is intended to comply with upcoming European regulations, as the EU exemption for mercury-containing projector lamps is scheduled to expire in February 2027.

The new SSI-based models offer lifespans of up to 30,000 hours and reduced maintenance. In the consumer market, recent reviews of high-performance projectors also highlight long-lasting laser-phosphor technology, such as the BenQ LK830ST, which provides up to 30,000 hours of lamp life in eco mode.
