Shamrock Capital Growth Fund invests in REAL D 3-D Digital platform

"Michael Lewis, chairman and CEO of REAL D, and Stephen D. Royer, managing director of the Shamrock Capital Growth Fund, announced jointly today that Shamrock, the Burbank-based, private-equity firm, is investing $50 million in REAL D, the leader in digital 3-D technology. Further terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The financing round from the Shamrock Capital Growth Fund will fund the rapid development of REAL D’s delivery systems and support its leadership in delivering lifelike visual images for cinema and beyond. Earlier this month, REAL D announced its acquisition of Boulder, Colorado-based ColorLink, one of the world’s leading inventors and suppliers of photonics-based solutions. This acquisition will significantly enhance REAL D’s product offerings and production capabilities.

REAL D is bringing the premier digital 3-D experience to cinemas worldwide. With over 700 screens in 14 countries currently and 1000 screens expected later this year, REAL D has the world’s largest 3-D platform."
