Prepping up LCOS for next-generation HDTVs

What is LCD? What is an LCD TV?
A display technology that uses rod-shaped molecules (that flow like liquid and bend light. Unenergized, the crystals direct light through two polarizing filters, showing a natural background color. When energized, the crystals redirect the light to be absorbed in one of the polarizers, causing the dark appearance of crossed polarizers to show. The contrast and viewing angle improve as the molecules are twisted further.
LCD TV
Liquid-colour display television (LCD TV) sets use LCD technology to display images. LCD TVs are lighter than CRT TV sets and consume less power.

What is HDTV?
HDTV stands for High Definition TV. It is a set of digital TV (DTV) standards that provide the highest resolution and sharpest picture for TV sets. It can also refer to a TV set that supports the format. The first HDTV sets were available in 720p and 1080i.

How does LCos technology work?
LCoS or liquid crystal on silicon is a reflective technology applied in projection TVs. In LCOS, liquid crystals are applied to a reflective mirror substrate. As the liquid crystals open and close, the light is either reflected from the mirror below, or blocked. This modulates the light and creates the image.
