Custom LCoS & DLPoptical engines.

AAXA's core technology is small LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) and DLP (Digital Light Processing) imagers mated to LED and laser light sources. Those same engines are available to OEM and ODM partners as standalone modules — sixteen platforms from 50 to 1,200 lumens, WVGA through 4K UHD.

LED / LASER LCoS / DLP IMAGER PROJECTION LENS PROJECTED IMAGE
Light from LED or laser emitters is collected, modulated by an LCoS or DLP imager, and thrown through the projection lens — the whole path is what an AAXA optical engine packages into one module.

Four technologies, one supplier


Every engine below combines one imager technology with one illumination technology. Mix and match to fit your brightness, colour, size and cost targets.

LCoS

Liquid Crystal on Silicon

Reflective microdisplay panels giving high fill factor, smooth pixel structure and no colour-wheel rainbow effect. AAXA holds several patents in optical and LCoS design.

DLP

Digital Light Processing

Texas Instruments DMD imagers from 0.2″ through 0.47″ XPR, delivering high contrast, fast response and proven long-term reliability.

LED

Solid-State Illumination

Multi-die and quad-cast LED light sources rated to 20,000–30,000 hours, with low drive voltage and simple thermal budgets.

Laser

RGB & Laser-Phosphor

Wide colour gamut, effectively focus-free projection and instant-on behaviour — the technology behind the world's first laser pico projector in 2010.

How the two imagers differ


Both modulate light a pixel at a time, but they do it by opposite means — which is what decides contrast, colour behaviour and how the engine is packaged.

SOURCE POLARISER s-pol PBS CUBE REFLECTIVE LC PANEL on a silicon backplane LENS to the panel polarisation rotated passes the splitter
LCoS. The panel reflects, and switching a pixel rotates that pixel's polarisation — the beam splitter turns that rotation into brightness. No moving parts and no colour wheel, so no rainbow artefacts.
SOURCE TIR PRISM DMD MICROMIRRORS each mirror tilts ±12°, thousands of times a second LENS illumination in down to the DMD mirror ON → lens mirror OFF → absorber
DLP. Every pixel is a hinged mirror that either throws light at the lens or dumps it into an absorber. Grey levels come from how long it dwells in each state, which is why contrast and switching speed are high.

Engine platforms


Sixteen platforms across LCoS and DLP imagers in LED and laser configurations. Pricing is shown per unit at four volume tiers.
