"OPTICS: Displaytech eyes lead in pico-projector race"

Pico-projectors allow iPod-size devices to project a 12- to 30-inch display on the wall, but they are not yet available in consumer products. So far, most OEMs showing pico-projector prototypes at the Consumer Electronics Show, earlier this month, were using liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) panels from Displaytech Inc. (Longmont, Colo.). Displaytech's microdisplay technology dovetails well with the emerging pico-projector market, giving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) a proven technology alternative to more experimental micromirror subsystems that use micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) chips--at least in the short term; the final verdict is not yet in.
