OSRAM INTRODUCES A NEW ADDITION TO THE
XBO LAMP FAMILY AT SHOWEST 2005

LAS VEGAS – (March 15, 2005) – OSRAM Display/Optic is again expanding its extensive line of OSCAR® winning XBO® xenon projection light sources with the introduction of the OSRAM XBO 2500W/HTP lamp. The XBO 2500W/HTP lamp operates horizontally and vertically, plus offers a threaded pin to fit a variety of film projection systems.

“OSRAM Display/Optic provides the industry’s most complete range of xenon lamps for cinema film and digital projection, and large venue,” said Jim Malfitano, cinema global business unit manager. “Since OSRAM’s development of the xenon lamp, we’ve continued to stay one step ahead of the projection industry’s needs by providing innovative products like the new XBO 2500W/HTP lamp.”

OSRAM’s XBO lamp family is as much a part of the cinema world as movie stars and popcorn. In 1984, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences® awarded an OSCAR for the XBO lamp. Like OSRAM's entire family of XBO lamps, the XBO 2500W/HTP provides the highest quality and best performance backed by superior customer service in the cinema industry. Since OSRAM developed the first xenon lamp over 50 years ago, the company has continued to provide innovative products that enhance the movie-going experience.
