Appotronics develops ALPD, a laser phosphor light source for cinema projection. Its cinema business sells ALPD as a replacement for xenon light sources in existing projectors, and its site lists ALPD solutions for Christie and NEC projectors.

Its case studies include Cinépolis upgrading 2,600 screens to ALPD light sources. For an operator whose projectors are still sound but whose lamp costs are not, a light-source upgrade is a cheaper route to laser than replacing the projector.

Filmgrail has no commercial relationship with Appotronics and this listing is not an endorsement. It is here because a cinema evaluating its supply chain should be able to see the whole of it in one place. Details change — check anything decision-critical with the supplier.
