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.
