FLCOS Microdisplays
Transform the way your customers use visual content
with our line of brilliant, low-power microdisplays.
Brilliant Images from a Tiny, Low-Power Package
Based on proprietary FLCOS technology, our microdisplay panels and modules offer the most compelling combination of clarity, brightness, and color fidelity for mobile display applications like camera viewfinders, heads-up displays, and pico projectors. We integrated these impressive display patents into our portfolio through a recent acquisition. Our FLCOS microdisplay technology is built on nearly 25 years of research and development and is already designed in to millions of consumer products.
Microdisplay Modules
Our QVGA module is a compact, fully integrated display—complete with LED light sources. It’s an ideal solution for close-to-eye applications like viewfinders. Learn more.
Microdisplay Panels
Our panels come in a wide range of resolutions (WQVGA, WVGA, VGA, and SVGA) and offer superior quality and brightness. Low-power use and small size make them a great fit for pico projectors and embedded mobile projectors. Learn more.
Built on Great Technology
Incredibly fast pixel switching technology enables us to build sequential color images, producing a stunning display with sharp edge clarity. And we do it all with an integrated solution that—unlike many competitors—works beautifully across a wide temperature range.
To understand why speed is important, you have to know a little about how our FLCOS microdisplays work and where they’re going. For a short video and explanation of microdisplay technology visit our FLCOS innovations page.
Benefits of FLCOS Microdisplays
The ultra-high speed of the proprietary ferroelectric liquid crystals in our microdisplays is the foundation behind several superior performance specs:
Better Color Fidelity
Field sequential color produces brighter, more fully saturated colors.
Better Image Quality
Because field sequential color allows each pixel to show the true color, no precious resolution is wasted on RGB pixel combinations; the result is fine pixel borders and high resolution that make for truly high-quality displays that show text clearly.
Lower Power Use
At less than 100mW, our integrated microdisplay chips use a fraction of the power required by competing display technologies like micromirror.
Smaller Footprint
Because our FLCOS display is built on CMOS technology, we can integrate critical image processing and memory functions onboard—not on three or four separate chips like micromirror technology.
Broad Operating Temperature Range
Our FLCOS technology operates at temperatures as low as –10°C. Competitors’ sequential color LCOS displays only work well at high temperatures, so they require heaters during low-temp startups, which delays boot up and drains battery power.
