As the digital culture industry continues to thrive, the fusion of technology and art is reshaping the way we experience visual content. In response to this shift, Epson—a global leader in imaging and projection technology—has officially launched its new CB-L695SE Series of short-throw laser projectors. With brightness ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 lumens*, the lineup includes models such as the CB-L895E, CB-L895U, CB-L790U, CB-L795SE, CB-L690U, and CB-L695SE. By making significant advances in core specs like brightness, resolution, lens throw, and refresh rate, this new series redefines the standard for entry-level professional projection, offering powerful yet cost-effective solutions for museums, immersive exhibitions, digital art installations, and outdoor displays.


Compact Yet Powerful: High Brightness in a Small Footprint

In professional spaces like museums and exhibitions, brightness and resolution are key to delivering a compelling visual experience. The CB-L695SE series features Epson’s proprietary 3LCD technology and a coordinated upgrade of four core components, enabling up to 8,000 lumens* of professional-grade brightness—all within a compact chassis.

This breakthrough is the result of significant enhancements across key components:

  • New optical lens materials effectively reduce the heat generated by high brightness levels, improving long-term stability.
  • Upgraded semiconductor laser diodes offer higher brightness, better thermal management, and significantly lower operating noise.
  • Next-generation LCD panels are designed for high-performance under continuous, high-load operation.
  • A redesigned light source module and optimized phosphor wheel structure further enhance heat dissipation.

In addition to its bright and compact build, the CB-L695SE series now supports a 60Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth performance for dynamic content. Epson’s exclusive 4K Enhancement Technology* boosts resolution up to 2715 × 1697, delivering a stunning near-4K viewing experience at a highly competitive price point.


Built-In Short-Throw Lens for Flexible Installation

In today’s diverse professional environments, flexibility is just as important as performance. The CB-L695SE is equipped with a native short-throw lens (0.5–0.7:1 throw ratio), allowing large images to be projected from close distances—ideal for venues with limited space such as galleries, retail environments, or low-ceiling installations.

Despite the short-throw setup, the projector delivers brightness that exceeds standard ratings, ensuring no light loss and uncompromised image clarity. The lens also features a wide ±50% vertical lens shift, providing flexibility in positioning while maintaining screen alignment. Combined with corner focus adjustment, users can fine-tune edge clarity even in non-flat environments.

Reliability is also a key highlight. Thanks to its precision gear-driven lens shift system, the CB-L695SE eliminates image drift and focus issues during operation. Additionally, the sealed optical design of the Epson lens prevents dust intrusion, preserving image quality and extending the lifespan of the device.


Intelligent Features Empower Digital Creativity

Beyond hardware, the CB-L695SE series offers a range of intelligent features that simplify complex setups. When paired with an optional external camera, the projector supports:

  • Single-unit automatic image calibration
  • Multi-projector color matching
  • Edge blending and image stacking

These functions significantly reduce the learning curve for professionals managing large-scale projection setups, making the CB-L695SE an excellent choice for museums, exhibition designers, and visual content creators.

With its high brightness, short-throw flexibility, and intelligent functionality, the CB-L695SE series adapts easily to various use cases:

  • In immersive exhibits, the short-throw design and high brightness deliver stunning visuals even in tight spaces.
  • For digital artists, 4K enhancement and auto color calibration ensure every creative detail is faithfully reproduced.
  • And in outdoor or museum display environments, its 8,000-lumen capability and durability make it a go-to solution for continuous use.

Redefining Entry-Level Professional Projection

The CB-L695SE series isn’t just a new projector—it’s a step forward for entry-level professional imaging. Combining compact design, robust performance, and advanced smart features, it offers a compelling solution for users seeking both quality and value. More importantly, it reflects Epson’s continued commitment to driving innovation at the intersection of technology and art.

As Epson looks ahead, the company plans to expand its lineup of visual solutions, empowering professionals to bring more creative ideas to life—and to inspire audiences through the power of light and image.
