LCoS的核心——显示芯片既不同于普遍的IC芯片，又非传统的TFT-LCD驱动电路与显示矩阵简单组合的芯片，而是一块多功能、多结构、与现代CMOS制造工艺息息相关的片上系统(SOC：systemonchip),即整个显示系统集成到一个芯片上，因此SOC类芯片的设计必须全盘考虑整个系统的各种情况，也正是因为如此综合周全，与普通IC组成的系统相比，SOC可以在同样的工艺技术条件下，实现更高性能的系统指标.以新型的系统芯片方式设计生产的新一代微型显示器－LCos应用前景预计将非常广阔。

The core of the LCoS——display die is neither the same as a piece of general IC, nor the simple assembly of traditional TFT-LCD drivers and its display matrix, but a piece of multifuncted, multi-architecture SOC (System On Chip) which is tightly relatied with modern CMOS process. i.e. the whole display system would be integrated into a small piece of die. Therefore we have to analyze all the case for the system before designing the SOC die. Because of synthesizing clearly, the SOC would show the better function than the general IC under the same fabricating condition. LCoS, a new type of microdisplay that is designed by the mode of SOC, would be applied widely.
