Liquid crystal on silicon is like a miniaturized reflective active-matrix liquid crystal display. Lcos was generally designed for projectors, but it is now wide range of usage areas such as structured illumination, optical pulse shaping, near-eye displays and wavelength selective switching. Some LCD projectors use transmissive LCDs which permit light to get through the liquid crystal. The lcos products provide more precise and high-quality results, which has not provided by other technology. Some of the main products which has based on this technology include head-mounted display, microscopy SLM, head-up display, and many more.
