Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Ferroelectric microdisplays and light valves can handle data at GHz rates yet will cost little in mass production. We will combine them to make two very high resolution display demonstrators; a 3D video display with a wide field of view, and a low cost laser print resolution A4 video display.The 3D video display will us a large light valve which will be synchronised frame to frame with a microdisplay so that the combination acts as a high frame rate liquid crystal display. Views of a three dimensional image will be screened one by one on the light valve, and each view will be illuminated by rays of light travelling in a direction exclusive to that view, so that when integrated over one sixtieth of a second the whole synthesises a three dimensional image.The A4 video display will be projected from a light valve, itself addressed by a microdisplay. Images of the microdisplay will be replicated across the light valves photosenor, and the photosensor electrically activated under one replicated image at a time so as to time multiplex a high resolution projected image.We plan that such cheap, high resolution video displays will break that IT bottleneck : the human/machine interface.
