LCoS (Light Crystal over Silicon) is a technology used in display systems. LCoS shares some elements with LCD and DLP (Digital Light Processing) displays. As such, LCOS systems are not exactly new though it was only recently that commercial manufacture became viable. The best way to understand LCoS television is to understand the process. How LCoS Works The process starts with an intense light beam that's passed through a condenser lens. This lens has the task of focusing and directing the beam.

Technology has brought many tools and luxuries to modern society, the most widespread being the computer. With computers, however, comes a dependency upon electronically stored data and the equipment that controls it. This equipment is not foolproof and can weather, malfunction, and even break from old age and damage. When the hardware stops working, the data that is stored on that hardware is lost. Fortunately, computers and technology have brought another amazing tool to society: the Internet. With the Internet comes the ability to store data on other hard drives, Read More
