Da-Lite #1096

Da-Lite is an American manufacturer of projection screens, projection surfaces, and AV furniture for commercial and home use. One of the oldest and largest screen manufacturers in the world, whose early cinema-era innovations helped popularize the term "silver screen."

The company was founded in 1909 in Chicago by 24-year-old Adele De Berri (originally under the name De Berri Screen and Scenic Company); she applied a silvery reflective coating to movie screens, which increased image brightness and cemented the term "silver screen" in cinema. Since 1957, the headquarters and main production facility have been located in Warsaw, Indiana. In 2011, Da-Lite was acquired by Milestone AV Technologies for $202.5 million, and in 2018 Milestone (together with Da-Lite) became part of Legrand North America — today Da-Lite is a Legrand brand.
