Canon LCOS Projectors Display of Fine Lines, Display of Color and Detail, Display of Small Text

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 7 pt.) 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.

REALiS LCOS Projectors vs. Transmissive LCD Projectors

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

Display of fine lines: CAD images, blueprints, and fine lines are reproduced smoothly and accurately with REALiS high-resolution projectors.

Display of Color and Detail

REALiS SXGA+ models can be presented with exceptional color and intricate detail.

LCOS vs. DLP

LCOS Technology displays even subtle color gradation and tones of black and grey, which enhance visual accuracy, while DLP has a limited grey scale.

Display of Small Text
By using more pixels for each letter, REALiS projectors
can display easy-to-read type, as small as 7 pt.
often illegible on LCD-based XGA projectors.
