CHICAGO - July 7, 2010 - NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial LCD displays and projectors, announced today the addition of the NP115 projector to its NP Value Series. The new model will replace the successful NP110 to accompany the NP215, both designed for growing small-to-medium businesses and education environments.

The NP115 is ideal for mobile applications such as classrooms with portable carts or conference rooms where ultra-affordable and lightweight units are a must. This 2500-lumen projector provides a bright image for most standard-sized rooms, and its 3D-Ready capability increases interactivity. The NP115 offers a high contrast ratio of 2000:1 sourced from the latest Texas Instruments DLP® engine, while its powerful 7-watt speaker and built-in closed captioning enhance the product's usability. ECO ModeTM technology extends lamp life up to 5000 hours and lowers power consumption to 0.49 watts in standby mode. The NP115 includes a variety of automatic features, such as quick start (3-4 seconds) and shutdown technology, allowing immediate use and power off functionality without the need for a cooling period
