Projection displays comprise a multibillion‐dollar market, served by four distinct technologies. This market is driven by sales of high‐volume consumer products and high‐value business systems, with different technologies covering various application markets. The consumer market is dominated by rear‐CRT technology, especially in the large‐screen TV segment, but rear LCD, DLPT, and LCOS projection TVs are now emerging as competitors to rear CRT projectors. Front CRT projectors are mostly confined to the high‐end home theater market. While front LCD and the rapidly growing front DLP projectors dominate the business market, front LCOS projectors are obtaining a larger share of the market. Recent developments in projection technology are resulting in improvements in picture quality while enabling a reduction in prices, thus opening up new opportunities in the emerging consumer/home theater market. This paper discusses the trends involving projection technology in the emerging home theater market.
