InFocus Previews New ScreenPlay 61" Thin Television (21/1/2004)

Microdisplay Designed for Discerning Videophiles

InFocus(r) (Nasdaq: INFS), the worldwide leader in digital projection and services, today announced and previewed the InFocus ScreenPlay(tm) 61-inch microdisplay television. The new InFocus ScreenPlay television is a break-through in ultra-thin, rear projection displays, which is light and thin enough to hang on a wall, while generating a superior image quality relative to other thin television options.

Historically, rear-projection televisions have been bulky, heavy and took up valuable living space. InFocus' innovative technology enables rear-projection in a thin format that is preferable to consumers. The InFocus ScreenPlay television integrates proprietary, patent-pending engine and screen technology with a microdisplay currently utilizing Texas Instruments' award-winning DLP(tm) technology. This revolutionary television will be sold through specialty consumer channels where prior relationships that InFocus developed through its front projection home theater solutions will provide the new, thin television access to big screen enthusiasts who demand stellar image quality.

"Our engineering team has created a new category in ultra-thin rear-projection television that others have been trying to accomplish for the past two decades. The InFocus ScreenPlay television is thinner, lighter and more versatile than other rear-projection television technologies, yet delivers the high quality images that consumers have come to expect from InFocus," said Scott Hix, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Americas Business Unit at InFocus Corp. "This new technology gives consumers a new and exciting option for their home."

The InFocus ScreenPlay television delivers a vibrantly colored, high-contrast, high-definition, scalable image that is synonymous with the InFocus brand. The new television makes high-quality thin display accessible for "big picture" enthusiasts.

Availability

The new InFocus ScreenPlay 61" television will be available through specialty consumer channels in the second half of 2004.
