Intel said today it has shelved plans to design a LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) chip for flat-panel televisions. Intel first touted the chip nine months ago, saying it would drop the price of flat-screen TVs to under $2,000. Intel’s exit from the digital television chip market is a sign of internal turmoil that must be fixed, observers say. “They have had a number of slip-ups this year,” according to analyst Rob Enderle. “They are in the middle of leadership transition that can lead to mass turmoil inside a company.”
