Displaytech FLCOS microdisplays see action in iView pico-projector
Remember those fancy microdisplays we heard about back in November? You know, the one's based on Displaytech's Ferroelectric liquid-crystal-on-silicon (FLCOS) technology? Now that you're with us, we figured you should know that these very devices will be used in a pico-projector crafted by iView Limited. Apparently, said PJ will be demonstrated next week at CES, but beyond the fact that both firms seem extraordinarily happy to have found each other, little is known about the resulting device itself. Still, we're hoping to get a few useful details -- resolution, form factor, etc. -- in just a few days, but for now, you can tag the read link and catch all the gushing you can handle.[Via AboutProjectors]
Displaytech FLCOS microdisplays to be used in embeddable pico-projectors
We've heard our fair share of promises when it comes to embeddable micro-projectors, but it sounds like the gears may actually be turning in the race to crank out cellphones, PDAs and other handheld gizmos with integrated PJs. Displaytech, best known for its LCOS microdisplays, announced today that it is hooking 13 companies up with Ferroelectric-LCOS (FLCOS) displays that can be used in uber-small projectors within diminutive devices of all flavors. Unfortunately, no word was given on exactly what companies are placing orders, but Displaytech did admit that it expects to see "a number of ultra small projectors containing its FLCOS panels to be demonstrated at CES." We'll be on the lookout.[Image courtesy of Displaytech]
