Syscan Imaging has announced the first product from the nanotechnology company they acquired last fall. The 0.7-inch microdisplay claims to deliver 1920x1080 images at a lower cost than competing technologies. They also hope to overcome some of the problems that have hamstrung LCoS technology so far by increasing yields and having a lower operating temperature. Finally, its designers are optimistic they'll be able to reach even higher resolutions in the future. Looks like D-ILA and SXRD may have some competition, although HDTVs based on the technology are not expected to hit until 2007.
what percent of all the video you watch is 1080p? These displays can display incredible detail, but we have nothing practical to watch on them. am i wrong?
Yes, you are wrong. You have to think about the future. Everything is going to be 1080p, from regular broadcast, to IPTV to cellphone video-conferencing. This is just the technology to get us there.
I agree content providers will not make the move from 720p/1090i until they khnow there is enough support on the hardware side to justify this move to pumping out 1080p content.
hey, this is just about interlaced and progressive. It can do 1080 guys!!!!
I know that the broadcasters dont broadcast in 1080p...but i have to know: are they recording everything in 1080p? I pretty sure they do with prerecorded shows like lost, csi, etc., but I'm wondering about live broadcasts.
