Canon LCOS Projectors The Difference is in The Details

Canon’s REALiS brand projectors feature LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon)

technology, recently described by a leading trade magazine as “sort of

a ‘best of breed’combination of LCD and DLP technologies.” LCOS

technology produces lattice-free seamless images, and unlike LCD has

no “screen door effect” to mute color and detail. LCOS technology has

been highly coveted for providing exceptional color, intricate details,

easy-to-read type (as small as 7pt.) and “HD images that jump out at the

viewer in breathtaking quality,” making it the ideal projector for demanding

uses and applications. These include medical image presentations, display

of CAD engineering drawings and blueprints, faithful color reproduction of

professional photography, as well as countless uses for business, higher

education and government.

The Difference is in The Details

The surface area of each pixel in Transmissive LCD

projectors is small, creating an overall grid-like

lattice effect (“screen door effect”), which results

in muted colors and text that appears faint and

uneven. REALiS LCOS projectors have minimal

gaps between the pixels, creating color-rich,

detailed images, and text that appears dark and

crisp. The advantages are easy to see:

Display of fine lines: CAD images, blueprints, and fine

lines are reproduced smoothly and accurately with

REALiS high-resolution projectors.

REALiS SXGA+ models can be presented with

exceptional color and intricate detail.

By using more pixels for each letter, REALiS projectors

can display easy-to-read type, as small as 7pt.

often illegible on LCD-based XGA projectors.

REALiS lattice-free images ensures smooth, crisp

displays of fine grained objects, including metallic

surfaces, typically dulled by LCD projectors.

LCOS Technology displays even subtle color

gradation and tones of black and grey, which

enhance visual accuracy, while DLPhas a

limited grey scale.
