The much-touted LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) microdisplay technology may finally have reached a confident level of production maturity. The advantages of LCoS technology have been known for several years and demonstrated many times. But, achieving the desired performance levels, reliability, and production yields has been elusive. However, this past year has seen several key manufacturers introducing or increasing their production of LCoS models. These include Sony, calling their version SXRD (Silicon Xtal Reflective Display), and JVC with their D-ILA (Direct drive Image Light Amplifier) – both derivatives of the basic LCoS technology.
So, what’s the big deal? What really is LCoS; how does it work, and what are its advantages to manufacturers and consumers? To answer those questions I’m going to walk you through a comparatively "high-level" view of this technology – say, from about 100,000 feet.
