Display technology cuts projection TV costs

Article Abstract:

Display developer Philips Components says thin projection TVs are being developed that could bring prices of high-resolution, large-screen television sets down, making them affordable for many more viewers. The key, says Philips, is a new liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) display that puts 1280 by 768 pixels on a panel measuring 30 mm on the diagonal.
