intel LCOS technology for HDTV is cancelled

Oct 21, 04 04:40 PM PDT

After canceling the 4Ghz Pentium4 and apologizing for it, intel is canceling their LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon).


Months ago, intel promised to revolutionize the HDTV world by introducing 1080p (1920.1080 progressive scan) HDTV hardware that would end up in on the shelves for $1800 or less.

Other manufacturers, such as Philips have LCOS products for sale right now.

From intel's website:

The newest microdisplay technology, known as LCOS, 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." ¹

LCOS technology provides important price and performance advantages compared to HTPS and DMD. Pixels on LCOS panels can be made smaller than is possible with other microdisplay technologies, without compromising picture quality or manufacturability. LCOS displays can be scaled to 1080i/p resolution (1920x1080 pixels) and beyond, without increasing the size and cost of the panel and other optical components in the light engine. (Figure 1)
