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.
