A thinner Liquid Crystal layer (right) means fewer LC molecules to twist
and more available power to twist each molecule. The result? Faster
response.
In practice, response time decreases dramatically as you reduce the LC
layer thickness. So reducing the panel thickness by 50% means cutting the
response time by more than 75%.

Reduce the Liquid Crystal layer thickness and you reduce the response
time dramatically. A typical operating temperature of 50° C equals 122° F.
At less than 2 micrometers, the SXRD panel's liquid crystal layer is not
only thinner than in a transmissive H-LCD; it's also thinner than in the typical
LCoS device. As a result, the SXRD panel responds much faster than
transmissive H-LCD panels. So the picture remains crisp and clear, even during
the fastest action.
