WETZLAR, Germany, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

As part of its strategic growth strategy, Leica Camera AG is expanding its 
business areas and intends to position itself more strongly in the Laser TV 
equipment segment with its own products. To this end, the company has agreed a 
cooperation with Hisense, one of the world's largest manufacturers of 
televisions and innovative Laser TV. With their technological cooperation, both 
companies are creating an important basis for the further development of Laser 
TV for home cinema applications. The aim of the long-term partnership is to 
combine Hisense's technologies in the Laser TV segment with Leica's 
long-standing expertise in the development and manufacture of high-quality 
projection lenses to create a particularly powerful and future-proof technology 
platform for short-distance Laser TV.

For Leica Camera AG, the projection market is a familiar environment. More than 
50 years ago, the Leica Pradovit line was already part of the product 
portfolio, first as an analog projector and later also in a digital version. 
Based on the company's high level of innovation, many years of experience and 
know-how, and the highest demands on optical performance and image quality, 
entry into the segment of Laser TV devices is a logical next step in the 
direction of new technologies and other markets.

Leica Camera AG will present its first own Laser TV, Leica Cine 1, exclusively 
at IFA (Sept. 2-6, 2022) in Berlin and will showcase the product at the Leica 
booth in Hall 2.2 /Stand 205.

"As a leader in the Laser TV industry, Hisense owns 1700 patents in this field, 
ranking top of the world. Hisense is dedicated to boost global development of 
Laser TV as a new industry to bring the benefits including large-screen 
immersive experience, wide colour gamut, energy saving, environmental 
protection, and eye caring to consumers all over the world. Being a classic and 
time-honoured brand in imaging, Leica enjoys great technological strength and 
unique quality and style. With Leica's remarkable optical technology, Laser TV 
is able to present clearer and delicate images. The combination of Leica's 
distinctive image tuning style and extensive colours of Laser light will bring 
the world a stunning visual feast", says Dr Lin, President of Hisense.

"Home cinema entertainment is a rapidly growing market and the expansion of 
Leica's product offering in this segment represents a promising opportunity to 
delight new customers with Leica premium products. As the technology and market 
leader in the field of Laser TV systems, Hisense is the ideal partner to 
transfer the potential of high-definition 4k movie productions into a stunning 
home cinema experience. We are pleased to present the Leica Cine 1 at IFA, the 
first Laser TV with the superior quality Leica is known for," says Matthias 
Harsch, CEO of Leica Camera AG.
