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 per-
formance functions of brightness and contrast to optimize image quality, in a more
compact housing that maximizes affordability. New Optical elements were incorpo-
rated 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 (
SX6,
SX60
and
X600
models) resulting in a new standard in bright, beautiful,
high-contrast projected images.
