LG Electronics Introduces New, High-Performance LCoS HDTVs (31/1/2006)

SpatiaLight, Inc. (NASDAQ:HDTV) , a leading manufacturer of state of the art liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) microdisplays, announced today that LG Electronics has officially introduced its 2006 line of high-performance microdisplay rear projection television models -- led by a series of 1080p rear-projection HDTVs powered by SpatiaLight's LCoS microdisplay technology.

Demonstrated at the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the two widescreen LCoS Digital Cable Ready HDTVs, highlighting LG's six-model microdisplay HDTV family for 2006, bring premium cable programming to the screen without the need for a separate set-top box, offering a cost-effective alternative to flat panel technology.

LG's microdisplay HDTV family includes proprietary XD Engine(TM) technology that takes low-resolution analog signals to near high-definition levels, enhancing overall picture quality and providing a more pleasant viewing experience. These products were on display from January 5th - 8th in Las Vegas at CES.

The flagship model is LG's 71-inch LCoS HDTV (71SA1D). Built around SpatiaLight's three-chip LCoS technology, this model provides powerful, high-quality HDTV viewing experiences and includes the Gemstar TV Guide Onscreen interactive program guide, allowing viewers easier program navigation. Additional features include HDMI, IEEE 1394 DTV link and 9-in-2 memory card slots. This 1080p set and LG's 62-inch 1080p LCoS Model 62SA1D are planned for first-quarter 2006 availability.
