CEDIA US Expo 2006

Harkness screens are well known in the movie theater world. The world's largest supplier of screen surfaces for movie theaters, its screens are installed in more than 60 countries. It has factories in the USA, UK and France. Most of the famous cinemas and movie theaters in the USA, Europe and Asia use Harkness screens.

Harkness screens are famous for their brightness, colour rendition and acoustic performance, and are also widely used in movie post-production. The technology used by Harkness to make the best movie theater screens is now utilised in screens for home theater.

Two product ranges are being introduced - Smart-View fixed frame products and Home-View electric roller screens, which are being offered in both tensioned and non-tensioned versions. A range of surfaces is available according to different projecting conditions.

A completely new screen surface - Starlight - is introduced specifically for home theater applications. This has a specially formulated silver-grey coating, which markedly improves contrast of home theater projectors. It also has built-in brightness enhancement. This gives a stunning performance, even under conditions when there is some ambient light, which washes out other screen surfaces. Micro-perforated options are available for behind screen speakers.

Dealer networks are being established.
