LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) is a reflective micro-display technology based on a silicon backplane. The electronic circuits controlling the liquid crystals are fabricated on a silicon chip, which is coated with a highly reflective surface. This results in delivering a very high image quality (the image is less pixelated) because the circuitry is behind the pixel (compared with transmissive Liquid Crystal (LC), wherein electronics surround the pixels) and does not create an obstruction in the light path (“screen door” effect). Using standard CMOS processes, micro-displays with extremely small pixels, high fill factor (pixel aperture ratio), and low fabrication costs are realized.

LCOS micro-display technology has several advantages over other display technologies, wherein high performance, such as brightness, contrast, and/or resolution, is required.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the North American LCoS market. The report offers a comprehensive overview of varied market dynamics, such as drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. The market analysis has been conducted on various market segments derived on the basis of submarket, application, end-user, and geography.

On the basis of applications, the market is segmented into projectors, HMDs, and HUDs. With respect to submarkets, the market is segmented into ferroelectrics (FLCoS), nematics LCoS (NLC), and wavelength selective switching (WSS). End-users of this market include consumer electronics, aviation, automotive, medical, optical 3D measurement, and military.
