Though it does not use a projector, this display is sure to please filmmakers and studios: It is "distortion-free" and offers a "nearly infinite contrast ratio," which will allow for deep blacks and extremely bright colors.

The display, dubbed the "Super S," is in action at the Lotte World Tower location of Lotte Cinemas in Korea. According to Screen Daily, its first films will be "Cars 3" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
