Canon develops pair of LCoS reflective LCD panels

by Darren Murph posted May 21st 2008 at 10:58AM

Though Canon has been focusing on SED and locking down LCD partnerships throughout the earlier part of the year, the firm will be showcasing its very own LCoS reflective LCD panels at InfoComm next month. The first panel is a 0.71-inch WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) model, which is said to be the "world's first LCoS panel of its size to achieve such a level of resolution." The second is a 0.55-inch SXGA (1,400 x 1,050) version, which can also be used in conjunction with other Canon technologies to bring new projectors to market. Beyond that, it seems we'll have to wait until June before finding out more, but you can certainly peek the read link and attempt to read between the lines.

I've always felt that LCoS is the best technology for fixed-pixel front projectors, so with three players in the chip making marketplace, it should press prices down and quality up even faster. Awesome.
