Welcome to Liquid Crystal On Silicon ( LCOS )

A Higher Definition Television Is Here.™

At the end of the 20th century, the Thomson multimedia team was given a challenge: create the ultimate, high definition television viewing experience.

A dedicated team was formed. Thinking outside of the box, this group researched various technologies. In the end, the team took a calculated risk by choosing a brand new technology called Liquid Crystal On Silicon. In addition to a superlative picture, the technology used inside of the TV uses smaller and lighter weight parts than normal TVs. The television designers saw an advantage and went to work — creating a lightweight, sleek design.

The result: your RCA LCOS High Definition Television.
