THX is a trademark for theater design guidelines including seating guidelines, and surround sound technology developed by George Lucas and named after one of his films, THX1138.

The purpose was to ensure that a film "looks and sounds the same way" wherever presented. Complying theaters must choose equipment from an approved list of items and rent a specific electronic crossover network (bass/treble frequency divider) for the sound system. In video, THX refers to certain video and surround sound audio encoding on laser disks and DVD's. One video test pattern offered by THX has additional fine gray scales for near black shades including blacker than black and near white shades.

THX is a certification system for theaters. It is like quality control for the movie-going experience. It is a system developed by the sound people at LucasFilm, a company founded by the man behind the Star Wars movies, George Lucas.

THX also defines stringent performance standards for audio/video source and processing components. These include strict performance standards for DVD players, receivers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, speakers, interconnect cables, speaker cables, and even the room's acoustic characteristics (for dedicated home theater environments).

Hi Kajol
If you go to the movies frequently, you've probably encountered THX at some point. The lights dim, the screen lights up and you see the THX logo, accompanied by earthshaking sound. The phrase "The audience is listening" appears and you know you are in for an aural, as well as visual, experience.
The common assumption is that THX is simply another movie sound format, but it turns out THX is not a sound format at all but something else entirely. In this article, you will learn just what THX is, how it works and how theaters acquire it.
