After Intel in October abandoned a "liquid crystal on silicon" (LCoS) development project, a company called SpatiaLight is set on rubbing in Intel's misstep a little more at CES in Las Vegas.

SpatiaLight will display its LCoS technology in solutions by several manufacturers including LG Electronics USA and Konka Group.

LCoS is technology for projecting an image onto a screen that competes with existing technologies such as LCD (a far better, and more complicated explanation can be found here). Because it uses silicon, the technology can piggyback ride Moore's Law, promising a 50 pct price drop every 18 months.

CES last year was the venue where Intel talked up its push into the arena of LCoS based televisions, promising $1800 high definition LCoS television sets. But after a year filled with missteps, the project was axed last October because Intel feared that the market wouldn't be able to deliver the desired return on investment.
