Product Overview
The Panasonic ET-DLE020 is a 0.28:1 ultra short-throw zoom lens with power zoom and zero offset, built for compatible Panasonic 1-chip DLP laser projectors in tight-clearance commercial AV installations. This ultra short-throw projector lens lets integrators mount a projector close to the screen wall for digital signage, lobby projection, and rear-projection applications where projector-to-screen distance is limited.
Product Description
The ET-DLE020 delivers an ultra short-throw ratio of 0.28:1 (WUXGA) with a power-zoom installation margin and zero image offset, allowing full top-to-bottom screen coverage with minimal shadowing even in low-ceiling rooms. Its straight, mirrorless optical path supports on-axis, screen-centered installation for rear-projection setups, while the aspherical all-glass design is heat- and scratch-resistant for long-term commercial use. Combined with the wide vertical and horizontal lens shift of compatible Panasonic laser projectors, it broadens placement options and supports edge-blended multi-screen projection. For longer projector-to-screen distances on the same 1DLP projector platforms, compare it with standard zoom options such as ET-DLE060, ET-DLE105, ET-DLE170.
