The Sanyo LNS-W03 is an ultra-short throw, fixed focal length lens engineered for specific high-output Sanyo projector models, enabling the projection of large images from an extremely close distance. With a fixed, very short throw ratio, it allows the projector to be positioned just a fraction of the screen width away—often mounted directly above, below, or immediately in front of the projection surface. This capability is transformative in environments with severe space constraints, such as interactive classrooms with digital whiteboards, compact meeting rooms, digital signage in narrow corridors, and museum exhibits. By placing the projector near the screen, it eliminates shadows cast by presenters and minimizes the physical and visual footprint of the projection hardware, leading to a cleaner, more integrated installation.

Optically designed to manage the extreme angles inherent in ultra-short throw projection, the lens incorporates specialized glass elements and coatings to deliver a sharp, bright, and geometrically corrected image with minimal keystone or edge distortion. It ensures the projector's full resolution, brightness, and color fidelity are faithfully reproduced on the screen, maintaining edge-to-edge focus and uniform illumination. The lens features a manual focus ring for final sharpness calibration and is constructed to effectively dissipate heat from the high-output projector, guaranteeing stable, reliable performance during continuous operation in commercial and institutional settings.

This lens is a critical enabler for AV system designers tackling challenging room layouts where traditional projection is impossible. By allowing a projector to fill a large screen from an almost adjacent position, the LNS-W03 opens new possibilities for creating immersive, large-format visual displays in space-conscious environments. It is an ideal solution for modern educational technology, sleek corporate boardrooms, and immersive retail spaces, where maximizing screen impact while minimizing installation depth and hardware intrusion is a primary design goal.
