Canon’s proprietary AISYS optical system enhances LCOS technology
to achieve crisp, color-rich, intricately-detailed images by efficiently
utilizing and equalizing light from the projector lamp. This unique
technology effectively boosts the performance functions of brightness
and contrast to optimize image quality, in a more compact housing that
maximizes affordability. New Optical elements were incorporated into the
illumination optical system to enhance uniformity of light. The Polarizing
Beam Splitters (PBS) in the color separation and recombination system
were redesigned for more precise light control resulting in a new
standard in bright, beautiful, high-contrast projected images.
