Red Dot Design Award 2019: Award winning products 1) Ultra-short throw projector FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z5000 [Best of the Best Award] FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z5000 is an ultra-short throw projector equipped with the worlds first* folded two-axial rotatable lens to enable omnidirectional image projection without having to move the main projector unit. It is perfect for projecting digital signage onto large screens or making design projection at art galleries / museums. It can project images on a 100-inch screen from the close-up distance of just 75cm. The class-leading** Lens Shift function of up to 82% vertically and 35% horizontally makes it easy to set it up in places where a conventional projector could not be placed due to space constraints, and throw powerful images in directions that other projectors cannot handle. The options of both vertical and horizontal positioning allow users to choose how it should be installed according to each environment. The projector comes in a compact body measuring just 108mm thick, the thinnest in its class**. Its design approach allows the lens and the main projector unit to fold into a box shape for added portability. It has beautifully rounded corners for a stylish appearance, achieved in Fujifilms pursuit for design sophistication.

2) Portable X-ray unit CALNEO Xair [Best of the Best Award] CALNEO Xair is Fujifilms first portable X-ray unit that can be carried to any point of use with ease. The use of compact and lightweight X-ray tube and battery has successfully reduced its total weight to just 3.5kg for exceptional portability and operability. It allows users to take and check X-ray images easily in places with limited space, such as home health care situations. It can capture high-quality images despite the use of low-dose radiation when combined with a high-sensitivity cassette-size DR unit such as the X-ray diagnostic imaging system FUJIFILM CALNEO Smart, which is equipped with Fujifilms proprietary ISS method*** and noise-reduction circuit*4.
CALNEO Xair can reduce physical strain of doctors and medical staffs who need to carry and set up X-ray equipment for home health care, while also contributing to reducing patients radiation dosage.
*** The ISS (Irradiation Side Sampling) is a method in which the sensor (TFT panel) is positioned on the irradiation side. Compared to the conventional FPD (Flat Panel Detector) method, the ISS method can convert X-ray energy into optical signals with minimal attenuation, which enable higher efficiency in X-ray energy conversion.
*4 Electrical circuit that has enhanced capability in sensing X-ray information while reducing noise in X-ray images
