LCOS better known as Liquid Crystal on Display is a technology that is used in display system. LCOS has got some features common to LCD and DLP so in this way we can say that this technology is not that new today. This new technology is all set to launch and take over LCD’s.Features that it has got are enough to take over LCDs and make it stand out of the rest.

Let’s discuss LCOS technology in brief. LCOS is you can say a reflective technology that uses liquid crystal in place of individual mirrors.Usually LCOS-based projectors use three LCOS chips.Basically Technology of LCOS is of very high resolution. LCOS is light in weight round about 12 pounds. LCOS Technology is not for cheap projectors. This technology is for those who always go for stylish home theatre solutions. LCOS has got unique mix of performance that no other LCD provides. Apart from discussing its features, let’s go through functioning of LCOS. In case of LCOS light beam passes through condenser lens. This lens directs the beam and ensures that only light which is visible can pass through it. In this technology white light is separated into VIBGYOR colour by using light beam splitter. Here single light gets split into 3 standard primary colours which is Red, Green, Blue. LCOS uses dichroic mirrors in order to detach different coloured beam lights. Such mirror reflects or blocks some wavelength of light and allows rest to pass.This device has a layer of liquid crystal that is between silicon semiconductor ad Thin Film Transistor also known as TFT. Such coloured light passes from polarizing filters and strikes micro device. Liquid crystals manage the amount of light hitting reflective surface of silicon semiconductor. Amount of light passing through pixel depends on amount of voltage received by particular pixel. Light reflected from micro-device is passed through a prism. Now from here main work of prism actually starts. Prism merges light and generates full-colour image.Just because of high inbuilt resolution and visible pixilation video image appears as smooth as silk.A pixel edge is smoother and gives you natural feel.

It’s hard to believe but Sony has decided to stop further using of LCOs technology as this technology is directly affecting its current hot-selling Bravia LCD. Sony has decided to move its production more towards LCD TV as there is more demand of this product in the market. Not only Sony, Philips, Toshiba and Hitachi have stopped production of rear-projection sets. Due to high demand of Sony Bravia flat-panel LCD TV, Sony has decided finally to stop producing rear-projection televisions. Manufacturing cost of rear-projection sets could be another reason for discontinuing. Manufacturing cost of rear-projection is too high as compared to flat panel TV. Also if we check or study current market situation, more number of customers are going for Bravia flat-panel LCD television so in order to avoid distraction of its customers, Sony has to take the decision of discontinuing production of Silicon display technologies and rear projection sets.

2. Another known toxin which may be found inside a monitor comes in the form of phosphors. These are encased within the glass envelope.

Although phosphors are a dietary requirement too much of it can cause osteoporosis and kidney damage.

3. Plastics & PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) make for the casing of the monitor and the cabling. It has been proven that these can cause cancer.

4. Barium is used in the front of the front panel of the monitor to protect computer users from radiation. No known long term effects are known from chronic exposure to this toxin however there is known of short term effects to the brain, heart, liver, muscle and spleen.

5. Mercury is found as well in the light of flat panels display. When exposed to high amounts of mercury kidney and brain damage can appear or even central nervous system damage based on the type of exposure.

6. Beryllium is used for thermal connectivity and is found on the connectors. This toxin causes skin diseases and was recently discovered to cause cancer.

7. Cadmium, another toxin, is used as a plastic stabilizer. Causes kidney and bone structure damage as well as cancer.

8. Brominated flame retardants are used in the plastic casings.

9. Hexavalent chromium is used to protect steel plates from corrosion. This toxin can cause damage to the DNA.

Basically these are the major toxins found in your computer monitor and each of them tends to have major health impacts on people as well as plants and animals. When these are incinerated or disposed with regular waste in landfills the toxins in the monitors leak out into the environment eventually finding their way into our bodies as well as those of animal and in plants. As long as the monitor stays in one piece you are well protected from the dangers these possess.

Do no panic because having such a big number of devices you will have also many offers and prince ranges. We have gathered here some information about the top rated computer monitors, so that you will know some information about the best rated monitors on the market and maybe you will decide on one.

Going back to out presentation, researchers tested the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 and its DVI connection and its display scored a 96 on the CNET Labs, beating the P2370 but being under the Dell G2410’s points of 97.

If we move to America, we even have a recent news report, coming from AFP. The study they mentioned found that adult Americans spend an average of over 8 hours/day facing some TV, monitor, or other device having a screen! Considering that this is an average, I don’t even want to think about the extremes…
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Unfortunately, the study didn’t include anyone below 18, but it’s interesting to mention that it also found out “that people aged 45 to 54 averaged the most daily screen time at just over nine-and-a-half hours.”

Below you have some of the highlights of this study:

“- computer video consumption tends to be quite small with an average time of just over two minutes a day.

- Adults spend an average 20 minutes a day engaged with mobile devices with the highest usage — 43 minutes a day – among the 18-24 age group”

I think a study about watching the sunrise, the full moon in the sky, and maybe even about the use of handwriting would be a really interesting one, although I don’t think anyone would be interested into doing it…
