What Is Microdisplay?

If you want to see the future, you should look into microdisplays. Microdisplays are tiny screens used in various applications, including rear-projection TVs and head-mounted displays. A liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display is the most common microdisplay type. LCOS displays are reflective and use liquid crystals to manipulate light to be directed onto a screen. The first commercial LCOS system was introduced in 1999 by Fujitsu, but the technology has been around for much longer than Sony engineers originally invented it in 1976. Microdisplays are miniaturized display units with screen sizes and resolutions in the micro levels. Their small size enables them to be used in a wide variety of applications that require a screen that takes up small space, like head-mounted displays and digital cameras. They are also widely used in rear-projection TVs and data projectors. Sometimes, more than one microdisplay may be used in head-mounted presentations to provide a better viewing angle and resolution. Reflective microdisplays are a display technology that allows the image to be formed by diverting light into the desired projection path. In short, they bounce the light onto a lens or projection path, which is why they're called "reflective. "This technology is used in digital light projectors (DLPs), often found in home theater systems and other consumer electronics. DLP projectors use tiny mirrors to bounce light into the lens or projection path so that the image may be formed by diverting it into the desired projection path. The most common material for reflective microdisplay technologies is a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS). It allows rapid light modulation to create images. The world of microdisplays is a strange one. It's hard to understand, but it can be fun and exciting once you get the hang of it. The most important thing to remember is that resolution and power consumption are the two most essential factors in determining quality. The higher the resolution and lower the power consumption, the better rate your microdisplay will be. The power consumed by a microdisplay is usually measured in milliwatts of energy. The higher the resolution and lower the power consumption, the better. That's why we're proud to say: that we've got both!
