Christie, the global visual and audio technology company, has announced the release of the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH projector. As the first high-brightness hybrid RGB laser projector in the world, this innovation combines solid-state RGB pure laser illumination with a dual laser phosphor system.
Hybrid illumination offers users a projector with maximum flexibility. Sapphire has been developed for any 2D application, with front or rear projection, any active and passive 3D format, and all screen types.
The Sapphire 4K40-RGBH will debut at ISE 2025, which is taking place in Barcelona from 4 to 7 February. Attendees can see the new release at Christie’s stand, #3K500.

Enhanced 3D experiences
The Sapphire 4K40-RGBH boasts brilliant DCI-P3 colour, 36,400 lumens of brightness, native 4K clarity in 2D and 3D across all screen types, and front and rear projection. It also supports high frame rates, ranging from 4K at 120 Hz to 2K resolution at 480 Hz.
Furthermore, Sapphire’s exclusive Infitec colour comb 3D technology raises the bar. Unlike standard laser phosphor projectors, Sapphire provides advanced light efficiency and a wider colour gamut, resulting in brighter, more immersive 3D experiences. This makes it an excellent choice for 3D visualisation powerwalls, as well as dark rides and other media-based attractions.
Larry Paul, executive director of technology and custom solutions, Christie, says: “With its unique hybrid illumination architecture, the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH is a flexible solution for 2D and 3D front and rear projection applications. We’re excited to introduce this projector at ISE 2025 and we invite attendees to experience the brilliance of Sapphire in person.”
The Sapphire 4K40-RGBH hybrid RGB laser projector has been designed to provide best-in-class experiences for a variety of applications across theme park attractions, live events, rental and staging, and visualisation. It is now available to order.
Earlier this month, Christie revealed that three museums in China’s Guangdong province have been transformed into immersive cultural landmarks using its 1DLP laser projectors.
