I only noticed this technology today, although it has been around for longer. So far, it is only being used in pico projectors, but it is directly compared against "traditional" LCOS, and switches very quickly ("100X faster than LCOS"; can you say motion blur?). It has been implemented to date as a single chip, sequential color device, but that doesn't appear to be intrinsic to the technology; a three-chipper should also be possible. I wonder if this will have any legs in the higher end FP market. Micron has a 800 x 600 pixel device (datasheet attached); the individual pixels are 11.75 um square, and the fill factor is ~92%. As currently implemented, each pixel is either on or off, with greyscale established via PWM.
