Founded in 1958 by the Kikuchi Research Institute, which began with the development of video films, it has since moved to the field of movie screens and related equipment, gradually bringing the large-scale look and feel of the past cinema to ordinary people's homes. In the past, the development of screens was once plagued by the problem of "fogging", that is, in the environment with improper shading conditions, the projection screen will have different degrees of color fading. The gray screen series products developed by the old Japanese brand Kikuchi have improved the black depth of the screen through special coating technology, so that the image contrast is obvious, the sense of hierarchy is rich, and the details are more delicate.
Kikuchi is mainly for the home theater and business markets, and the design types of corresponding screens are also different. Home theater screens include electric winding, manual lifting, panel, floor-mounting, mobile portable, and wall-mounted. The curtains used for business events are mainly front-projection screens, with new hanging screens and 3D screens with fine silver particle coatings. There are as many as 80 models in the overall product series, and there is a large room for consumers to choose.
In terms of material, the curtain for commercial use of Kikuchi is mainly W (white curtain), because it is woven with fiber materials, the texture of the base cloth is clear, and the surface coating can balance the reflection and absorption of light, so the color reproduction of the picture is relatively accurate, and the dark part is rich in details. In contrast, there are 6 types of screens available for domestic use. Among them, WA (high-definition white) is woven with a finer fiber material, which has a more delicate image and a good three-dimensional effect.
In addition, AM (light gray) has a new anti-light coating, which is more comfortable to cope with stray light environments. PG and PRG (jewels) are return-to-back screens, and the microscopic glass beads attached to them effectively suppress light reflections, resulting in a picture with uniform brightness and vivid colors. AG (Gray Curtain Emperor) is coated with gray, which has good light absorption, a strong sense of film in the picture, and obvious black performance in the dark parts. TB (Sound Transparent Curtain) provides lossless HD high-definition picture quality while improving sound penetration, and its high-density mesh weaving technology can effectively eliminate the projectorMoiréIt brings users a visual experience of the integration of sound and picture.
Most of the models can choose from 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, 2.35:1 four sizes, which can meet the needs of most scenes such as watching TV shows, movies, and playing large-screen games. Among them, the Stylist KC FM of the fashion series belongs to the picture frame screen, and the back adopts the "black level compensation" technology, which effectively suppresses the projection reflection light from the rear, so that the contrast of the picture is improved, the details are full, and the black level is deep, which is suitable for projectors with a resolution of more than 4K. In addition, its high-rigidity aluminum alloy frame with spring tension structure greatly contributes to the smoothness of the curtain surface and is not easy to wrinkle.
For users who have a large space and a wall to create a home-style audio-visual presentation room, this kind of frame screen is recommended because it has a better flatness than other types of screens, and the appearance is magnificent, and there is no need to adjust the projector and screen after the position is fixed, which is easy to use.
If you plan to upgrade your living room to a home theater and don't want to destroy the original home decoration style, electric screen is a more suitable choice. The motorized screen uses a built-in motor to raise and lower the screen quickly and quietly, and the screen can be used as usual when the screen is not in use when the projection is not in use. And the installation method of the curtain is quite flexible, the ceiling or the wall can be, the fly in the ointment is that after a long time, the curtain is easy to wrinkle.
Stylist KC TGE and Simple KC TGEW-TS are the electric curtains of the fashion series, among which Simple KC TGEW-TS is an upgraded version of Stylist KC TGE, which adds a cable tension design on both sides of the curtain to solve the problem that the electric curtain is always easy to wrinkle and affect the picture quality performance, and can also control the lifting of the screen through the wireless remote control, which is more convenient to use. The Simple KC TGB/D is a manual cable curtain without a motor, which is not as convenient to use as a motorized curtain, but it can be used with different gain curtains, such as an acoustic screen on the front and a black curtain on the back, while taking into account the balance of sound and picture.
In addition to the built-in motor and receiver, the Stylist KC SE can also be used as a wireless transmitter for the projector power supply to achieve synchronous lifting and lowering, which is more flexible and faster than the previous pure manual or wireless remote control and other operation methods. The Simple KC SW series has no fancy functions, and is equipped with a wireless receiver controller to raise and lower the screen, and can also switch to manual control switches in high-interference environments, which is more practical.
The development of 3D curtain materials and environmentally friendly curtain materials is one of the directions that many well-known screen manufacturers have competed for in recent years, and Judi is no exception. For example, when watching 3D images, the screen can maintain a low gain value of 0.85, which is not easy to produce visual fatigue and ensures a wide viewing angle when watching 2D pictures. The Full HD series is an eco-friendly projection screen that can be recycled and converted into carbon dioxide and water by plant resources when discarded. In addition, Full HD not only ensures 1080P high image quality restoration, but also integrates a deceleration function into the electric design, making the curtain lifting and lowering more natural and lightweight.
Overall, the price of chrysanthemum curtains is relatively close to the people, and the fashion series is oriented to the entry-level mid-end market, at about 3,000 yuan; The classic series and simple series are aimed at the mid-to-high-end market, with prices ranging from 3,500 to 6,200 yuan. At present, the general distribution of Judi projection screen in China is Guangzhou Zhengjie Industrial Co., Ltd., and the series of models on the official website are basically synchronized with the original Japanese factory, but the official purchase channel has not yet been opened on the domestic e-commerce platform, and you need to choose carefully when purchasing.
