Sharp NP39ML – 0.38:1 Ultra Short-Throw Fixed Lens for NP-PX700W/PX750U/PX803UL

Product Overview

The Sharp NP39ML is a fixed ultra-short-throw projector lens with a 0.38:1 throw ratio, compatible with the NP-PX700W, NP-PX750U, NP-PX800X, NP-PX700W2, NP-PX750U2, NP-PX800X2, NP-PX803UL-BK, and NP-PX803UL-WH professional installation projectors. This lens enables large-screen projection from an extremely close projector-to-screen distance, making it the correct choice for installations where ceiling geometry, screen size requirements, or room depth constraints make standard-throw or even short-throw lenses impractical. At 0.38:1, a 100-inch-wide image requires the projector to be only about 2.7 feet from the screen surface.

Product Description

The NP39ML is the ultra-short-throw option for the NP-PX700/750/800 and NP-PX803UL projector platforms. Fixed-lens ultra-short-throw designs eliminate the optical complexity of a zoom mechanism at extreme wide-angle ratios, providing optimized image quality for a single throw distance. The lens weighs 6 lbs (2.7 kg) with a large physical profile (6.7 x 12.2 x 16.5 inches) reflecting the complex optical design required for 0.38:1 projection. The aperture is f/2 with a 5.64mm focal length.

The NP39ML is sold separately from the compatible projector bodies and must be specified as a distinct line item in AV system designs requiring ultra-short-throw installation.

Key Features

• 0.38:1 Throw Ratio — Ultra-short-throw for large images from extremely close projector-to-screen distances.
• Fixed Lens Design — Optimized optical quality at the target throw ratio without zoom mechanism complexity.
• f/2 Aperture / 5.64mm Focal Length — Designed for wide-angle projection with adequate light transmission.
• Broad Platform Compatibility — Works with NP-PX700W, PX750U, PX800X, second-generation variants, and NP-PX803UL projectors.
• Tool-Free Installation — End-user installable on compatible projector bodies.

Typical Applications

• Corporate boardroom or conference room with extreme close-mount constraint
• Higher education classroom with very low ceiling or short-room installation
• Exhibition and trade show display requiring large image in confined space
• House of worship with structural barriers preventing standard throw distance
• Government facility with space-critical display bay

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which projectors is the NP39ML compatible with?

The NP39ML is compatible with the NP-PX700W, NP-PX750U, NP-PX800X, NP-PX700W2, NP-PX750U2, NP-PX800X2, NP-PX803UL-BK, and NP-PX803UL-WH projectors.

Q: Why is the NP39ML physically larger than other lenses?

Ultra-short-throw lenses require complex wide-angle optical designs with larger element diameters to achieve 0.38:1 projection geometry. The physical size is a function of the optical design, not a manufacturing limitation.

Q: Is the NP39ML motorized?

No. The NP39ML is a fixed lens; it does not include motorized zoom, focus, or shift.

Q: Where can I purchase the NP39ML?

Available at Creation Networks, an authorized Sharp commercial AV reseller.
