Displaytech Ferroelectric LCOS microdisplay

The proprietary Displaytech Ferroelectric LCOS (FLCOS) microdisplay have been selected by these companies to develop ultra small projectors because of their unique characteristics like: small size, only 11.5mm in height; low power, less than 100mW for the FLCOS panel and integrated display controller; and efficient use of LEDs as the light source, thus avoiding the difficult problem of image speckle that comes when lasers are used as a light source. Prototype projectors small enough to be embedded into cell phones are being shown to major consumer electronic companies. Displaytech expects a number of ultra small projectors containing its FLCOS panels to be demonstrated at CES in January 2008. Ultra small projectors will be demonstrated with image resolutions of VGA and SVGA.

"Our customers recognize that by using the Displaytech FLCOS panels there is no need to compromise the design of ultra small projectors. They are able to simultaneously achieve ultra small size and low power while projecting an image that is usable for both video and text, thus opening up broader use models for mobile projection," said Richard Barton, CEO of Displaytech. Under its agreements, Displaytech is not able to release partner names at this time.
