Liquid Crystal on Silicon. While similar to LCD projection technology, instead of blocking or allowing light through (as in LCD projectors), LCoS applies liquid crystals onto a silicon chip which then either reflects or doesn't reflect the light. Three chips are used, one for each color, which in better picture quality and eliminates problems such as the"rainbow" effect.
Liquid Crystal on Silicon. This new microdisplay technology (developed by Intel) consists of a liquid crystal layer on top of a pixelated, highly reflective substrate. Below the substrate is a backplane that includes the electronics to drive the pixels. The backplane and liquid crystal are combined into a panel and packaged for use in a projection subsystem or light engine. The LCOS light engine is a projection subsystem built around LCOS panels which enables an RPTV or front projector. An LCOS light engine is assembled from a number of high-quality optical components: lamp, lenses, filters and precision glass, in addition to one, two or three LCOS panels.
Liquid Crystal on Silicon: Projection display technology that combines aspects of LCD and DLP technology. As light shines through liquid crystals, it is reflected or blocked by a mirror. LCoS rear-projectors usually use three separate LCoS chips for red, green, and blue.
This is another contender to replace CRTs in projection TVs.
A flat panel display technology, similar to LCD. Light is reflected off the pixels formed in the LCOS chip and formed into an image on screen (front or rear) by the associated optics. Color displays may use three LCOS chips, one each for R, G, B or a single LCOS chip multiplexed with a color filter wheel. LCOS achieves very high quality HDTV displays.
Liquid Crystal on Silicone
Is an abbreviation for liquid crystal on silicon. This type of display uses electricity to change the amount of light that is reflected from the crystal structure.
( Liquid Crystal on Silicon) New digital display technology that uses the opening and closing of liquid crystals to block light or allow it to pass through.
A technology for displaying images. Used in rear-projection televisions and front projectors. Similar to LCD, but in LCoS, light is selectively reflected from pixels in the LCoS panel. (By contrast, LCD is a "trans-missive" technology in which light passes through the pixels rather than being reflected by them.)
Liquid Crystal on Silicon. Reflective micro display that uses Si backplane, with module similar to transmissive LCDS
A type of LCD and projection TV display technology (can be used in rear-projection and front-projection TVs), LCoS sandwiches liquid crystals between a plate of glass and a silicon microchip rather than between two layers of glass.
LCoS displays have the size of half of a thumb nail. Despite their small size LCoS displays have more than two million pixels and enable a resolution beyond UXGA (1600 x 1200 pixels). LCoS displays consist of three parts. A silicon film, on top comes a thin coating with liquid crystals and an extremely thin glass panel. By means of a special mirror the light of the lamp is reflected onto the LCoS display where again every single crystal is aligned per voltage in such way that the required image is projected
Liquid Crystal On Silicon. A type of display that provides better contrasts than LCD, and which is used in some recent video projectors.
Acronym for Liquid Crystal on Silicon. Similar to LCD, but LCoS employs one glass (crystal) plate with silicon on the back instead of two plates with liquid Crystal inbetween, yielding a higher resolution.
Liquid Crystal on Silicon. Liquid crystals are coated onto a silicon chip, which uses a reflective, aluminized layer. This reflective design increases contrast. Since it is a digital display device, LCOS also eliminates image burn in.
Liquid-crystal on silicon. This is a small LCD panel (like HTPS) that has a reflective coating on one side. It is used in rear-projection TVs and front projectors.
Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS), a type of reflective micro-display that can be used to make front-projection, rear-projection, or near-eye displays. A thin film transistor (TFT) array is made on a silicon chip and becomes a display by adding a liquid crystal layer to control the reflection of light off the chip. A color wheel or color scroll, a light source, and a lens array are other system components needed for LCoS projection.
A projection TV display technology that sandwiches a layer of liquid crystal between a cover glass and a highly reflective, mirror-like surface patterned with pixels that sits on top of a silicon chip. These layers form a microdisplay that can be used in rear-projection and front-projection TVs. Manufacturers use different names for their LCoS-based technologies. JVC uses D-ILA(tm) or HD-ILA(tm), while Sony uses SXRD(tm).
Refers to "liquid crystal on silicon", a newer form of liquid crystal technology. Whereas liquid crystal in an LCD screen is sandwiched between two transparent plates, LCoS involves liquid crystals placed on silicon, a hoped-for cheaper manufacturing alternative.
