Fresnel Motorized Projection Screens Are Coming to WUPRO Cinema: More Options for Long-Throw and UST Projection

Fresnel projection screens are coming to WUPRO Cinema, bringing a new combination of anti-speckle performance, ambient-light rejection, and motorized installation flexibility to home cinema and professional projection systems.

The upcoming Fresnel range will include long-throw electric drop-down screens, long-throw electric floor-rising screens, and Fresnel UST floor-rising screens.

For customers using modern RGB laser projectors, this new range also fills an important gap in WUPRO Cinema's existing screen lineup: providing an anti-speckle, ambient-light-rejecting solution in motorized formats beyond the traditional fixed-frame installation.

What Is a Fresnel Projection Screen?

A Fresnel projection screen uses a Fresnel optical structure to control how projected light is distributed toward the viewing area.

Unlike a conventional matte-white projection screen, a Fresnel screen is designed to direct more of the projector's light toward the audience while reducing the amount of unwanted ambient light reaching the viewing area.

This makes Fresnel screens particularly interesting for environments where:

• Ambient light cannot be completely controlled

• A high-contrast image is required during daytime viewing

• A laser projector is being used

• The installation requires a retractable screen

• A fixed-frame screen is not practical

• A UST projector requires a dedicated optical screen surface

The result is a screen technology that combines light control, ambient-light rejection and optical performance in a relatively compact projection surface.

Why Is Fresnel Important for RGB Laser Projectors?

Modern RGB laser projectors can produce extremely high brightness and wide color performance. However, the optical characteristics of laser light can also make speckle more noticeable on some projection surfaces.

Speckle is an interference pattern caused by the coherent nature of laser light. Depending on the projector, screen material, viewing conditions and image content, it can appear as subtle grain or shimmering across certain areas of the image.

For this reason, screen material matters when choosing a screen for a laser projector.

WUPRO Cinema's upcoming Fresnel range is designed with anti-speckle performance in mind, giving customers using RGB laser projection systems another screen technology to consider.

A New Option Beyond Fixed-Frame Lenticular LT

Before Fresnel, WUPRO Cinema's Lenticular LT screen provided an anti-speckle solution for long-throw projection.

Lenticular LT is designed for long-throw projectors and combines anti-speckle performance with ambient-light rejection. However, the current Lenticular LT solution is available as a fixed-frame screen.

This means it is highly suitable for dedicated home cinema rooms and permanent installations, but less suitable when the screen needs to disappear after viewing.

Fresnel expands the available installation possibilities.

With the new Fresnel range, customers can choose between:

This gives customers more freedom to select the screen according to both projector requirements and room design.

Fresnel Long-Throw Electric Drop-Down Screen

The Fresnel Long-Throw Electric Drop-Down Screen is designed for customers who want the optical characteristics of a Fresnel surface without permanently occupying the wall.

The screen can be retracted when it is not being used, making it suitable for:

• Living rooms

• Multi-purpose rooms

• Conference rooms

• Premium media rooms

• Commercial presentation spaces

For installations where the projector is positioned at a conventional throw distance, this format provides an alternative to a permanently installed fixed-frame screen.

The combination of long-throw projection + Fresnel optical structure + motorized drop-down installation creates a solution for customers who want both image performance and a cleaner room when the screen is not in use.

Why Choose an Electric Fresnel Screen?

The biggest advantage of the upcoming Fresnel range is not simply the screen material.

It is the combination of optical performance and installation flexibility.

A fixed-frame screen provides excellent structural stability, but it permanently occupies the installation area.

An electric screen can disappear when it is not being used.

This makes motorized Fresnel screens particularly relevant for modern rooms where the projection system needs to coexist with everyday living or multi-purpose use.

Three Installation Options

Electric Drop-Down
Ideal when the screen can be mounted on a wall or ceiling and needs to retract after use.

Electric Floor-Rising
Ideal when the wall should remain visually clean and the screen needs to emerge from a lower enclosure.

UST Floor-Rising
Designed for UST projector systems that require a dedicated optical screen surface and a retractable installation.

Who Should Consider a Fresnel Screen?

The upcoming WUPRO Cinema Fresnel range is particularly relevant to customers who:

• Use a long-throw projector

• Use an RGB laser projector

• Want to reduce the visibility of laser speckle

• Need ambient-light rejection

• Do not want a permanent fixed-frame screen

• Prefer a motorized retractable screen

• Are designing a modern living-room cinema

• Need a floor-rising projection screen

• Use a UST projector and require a dedicated optical screen

For customers who already have a dedicated cinema room and prefer a permanent installation, a fixed-frame Lenticular LT solution may remain a relevant option.

For customers who need retractability, Fresnel opens up new possibilities.

The Next Step in WUPRO Cinema's Screen Range

The introduction of Fresnel technology marks an important expansion of the WUPRO Cinema projection screen lineup.

Previously, customers looking for a long-throw anti-speckle screen had a more limited choice when they required a fixed-frame installation.

With the upcoming Fresnel range, the same overall goal — controlled light, reduced speckle and better compatibility with modern laser projection — can now be explored through multiple motorized configurations.

From long-throw electric drop-down screens to long-throw electric floor-rising screens and UST Fresnel floor-rising screens, WUPRO Cinema is expanding the ways a projection system can be designed around the room.
