The second most expensive single component in Google Glass is also its most defining feature: its head-mounted liquid-crystal on silicon (LCOS) projector display. IHS said it estimates the cost of the Himax Technologies LCOS projection element made by Taiwan's Himax Technologies at US$20, accounting for 15% of the total Glass BOM.
"The LCOS display is the sine qua non of the Glass," Rassweiler noted. "Just as e-readers wouldn't exist without their e-Ink screens, Glass wouldn't be possible without the LCOS display. The display is pretty slick, providing a near-eye viewing experience that must be seen to be believed."
