[edit] Canon Projectors

Canon makes LCOS projectors. Supposedly, they have some kind of patent that allows them to make LCOS projectors much smaller and cheaper than their competition. Not sure if there is any reliable material out there to reference this fact. They market their LCoS technology under the name AISYS. They're main claim over LCD projectors is that the "screen door effect" is minimized. This is the effect where you can see a black outline of each pixel. They have a big demonstration on their website (canon.com) 74.92.147.125 18:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This page needs cleanup.

"If the frequency of the color fields is lower than about 540 Hz" - statement needs citation.

It's not clear that the color fields discussion should even be in this article, as LCOS devices (that I'm aware of, at least) do not use a single panel and color wheel. Jonabbey

There were two single-panel LCOS sets in production. One by Philips, and one by Uneed Systems. Both of those use color wheel, and optical engines that look very similar to the TI engines.

[edit] Inventor of LCoS?

I came here looking for who invented LCoS technology. DLP is obviously a TI thing, and while it does say that JVC, Sony, etc. have marketed the technology, it doesn't say who first came up with it. That would be nice to know if anyone out there knows... -KC

[edit] Pros and Cons Section

I'm suggesting that we form a pros and cons section addressing the LCoS like that of the DLP and LCD. Kenimaru 08:56, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
