Lewis CaliburnAWOL Vision is expanding the practical limits of ultra-short-throw projection with the launch of its new 150in (334.90 cm x 190 cm) Fresnel PET Daylight ALR Screen – reportedly one of the largest ambient-light-rejecting screens designed specifically for UST projectors.
As demand for immersive viewing experiences continues to grow across residential, commercial and professional sectors, AWOL Vision’s new 150in Fresnel PET Daylight ALR Screen targets a long-standing pain point in large-format projection: maintaining contrast, brightness and uniformity at extreme sizes – under real-world lighting conditions. By scaling its Fresnel optical structures to 150in, AWOL Vision aims to deliver true ‘lights-on’, large-format viewing, without sacrificing brightness and image consistency.
Manufacturing the new screen size requires tight control when engineering the microscopic surface structures. At the heart of the design is a precision-engineered Fresnel layer, paired with light-management coatings. This combination selectively reflects light from the projector while rejecting overhead and side ambient light. The result is a boost to perceived contrast, preserved shadow detail and improved midtone clarity, even in relatively brightly lit rooms.
The screen itself is built on an optical-grade PET substrate, chosen for its dimensional stability, clarity and durability. That makes it eminently suitable not only for high-end home cinema installations, but also for commercial and professional environments where long-term flatness, scratch resistance and environmental tolerance are of paramount importance.
As such, while home theatre remains a primary focus, the modular construction of the new screen also supports flexible mounting options for walls or frames. This makes it a flexible display solution for showrooms, executive boardrooms, educational spaces, exhibitions and immersive installations, applications where LED walls are often cost-prohibitive and traditional projection solutions struggle because of ambient light.
“The message from both consumers and professionals is clear – there’s a huge demand for large-scale projection solutions that feel cinematic, but without needing a fully blacked-out room,” says Andy Zhao, Founder & CEO of AWOL Vision. “Our new 150in Fresnel PET Daylight ALR Screen gives installers and end users the optical performance they need to achieve just that, whether in a bespoke home theatre or dynamic commercial environment.”
The new 150in screen has been developed alongside AWOL Vision’s range of ultra-short-throw projectors, including its newly released flagship, the Aetherion Max.
Both the 150in screen and the Aetherion Max UST projector made their European debut at ISE 2026.
