Projection Lenses: Unique Projects for the Entertainment Industry
Jenoptik designs and produces customized 2D and 3D projection objective lenses for attractions in the biggest theme parks in the world.
From digital customer desktops to the largest stage and movie theater projectors in the world, Jenoptik develops 2D and 3D projection objective lenses for a wide range of systems. They can be used for innovative wide-angle and high-aperture objective lenses for soaring rides, 3D movie theaters, dark rides and simulators.
Jenoptik has proven track record of collaborative projects for a variety of large venue interactions. We have manufacturing facilities in Alabama and Florida, and a project portfolio that has taken us across the globe. Among other applications, Jenoptik products are used in well-known attractions in the United States, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Japan and China. This experience has provided our team with a wide range of expertise in designing high-power laser projection optics for giant screen cinema, planetarium, themed entertainment, simulation and training market.
With our unique breadth of experience, we help our clients solve a number of common industry challenges:
- We decrease the number of channels used to cover a dome or simulator surface, which in turn also drives down costs and improves return on investment.
- We help provide more light to the screen with high lumens throughput required by the laser projection.
- We are able to use all the pixels of 4K projectors by using high contrast levels that nearly diffraction limited and uniform relative illumination.
Jenoptik offers an extensive scope of design and manufacturing capabilities, and operates in an agile environment, combining iterative project management with crucial flexibility. We provide the dependable expertise you need for a custom, reliable and on-time build.

Jenoptik Dome Theater
In-house testing and demonstration of Jenoptik projection lenses
The Jenoptik Dome Theater enables testing and demonstrating new laser projection lenses for digital cinemas, planetariums and theme park attractions in-house at Jenoptik site.
The screen is 24 feet in diameter with 12 feet dome radius. The hemispherical screen is elevated five feet abovethe audience which is perfect for testing digital planetarium lenses. The screen is coated with a proprietary high performance surface treatment to match our customer’s preferred 3D projection screens.
The Jenoptik Theater also has a 30 x 16 feet flat sceen for testing digital cinema lenses especially produced for flat sceens.
