During the launch, Koji Naka, Managing Director for CASIO Middle East, spoke about the company's latest offerings while Shingo Yamaga, Senior General Manager of Projector Division at CASIO Middle East, gave a presentation on the Minamata initiative and the emergence of mercury-free technology.

The mercury-free LampFree projectors comes equipped with a long-life light source that reduces the need for maintenance and cost while also extending operating life to approximately 20,000 hours and reducing the power consumption by about 45 per cent--resulting in remarkably reduced electricity bills.
Moreover, each projector is highlighted by a dust-resistant design that helps eliminate the constant need to change the filters and sustain high brightness--with speedy projection times of five seconds with no warming up or cooling down time needed.
“We are proud to announce the release of CASIO's latest line of mercury-free LampFree projectors, which reflects our continuing move to help address the issue of mercury pollution,” said Koji Naka, Managing Director, CASIO Middle East. “Our concern for this timely issue has led to the company's decision to eliminate the use of all mercury-based and emitting products--further resulting in our introduction of the world's first mercury-free projectors.”
“At CASIO, we believe that the presence of technology serves as a double weapon that should be constantly improved and enhanced. Companies and people today should understand that their behaviour affects the future of coming generations, which prompts them to take action and responsibility to choose the best products that offer safe and healthy experiences,” concluded Naka.
