SBIR Phase I: Ultra High Definition Color Projection Display

这一小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将展示光束控制系统的可行性，该系统将使光阀上的每个像素变成四种颜色像素，从而使光阀在两个方向上的分辨率翻一番，并在没有条带影响的情况下增加颜色。任何显示设备的目标都是创建用户正在观察真实对象的引人入胜的错觉。这在仿真应用中尤其如此，其中真实感是最重要的，或者需要逼真和准确地再现物理对象，例如在医学成像中。这些应用需要超高清晰度。DTI已经构思出一种光学技术，它可以使用最先进的130万像素光阀，并在两个方向上将分辨率翻一番，以产生520万像素分辨率的显示器。到目前为止的研究表明，为了在技术上可行，需要一种有效的机制来将光点照明引导到多个聚焦良好的光点，并具有光学上提高光阀分辨率的精度。这一创新将使显示产品能够达到传统方法无法达到的分辨率，以满足最苛刻的数字显示要求，包括数字乳房X光摄影、模拟器、高清晰度电视和数字电影。这项研究产生的超高清产品显示器可以在许多市场上商业化，这些市场需要高质量的图像，具有精细的细节和更好的真实感。这些设备包括数字电影、多媒体演示、穹顶模拟器、数字乳房X光照相和放射学以及高清晰度电视。

This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of a beam steering system that will enable each pixel on a light valve to become four color pixels thus doubling the light valve's resolution in both directions and adding color without banding effects. The goal of any display device is the creation of a compelling illusion that the user is observing a real object. This is particularly true in simulation applications where realism is paramount or where faithful and accurate reproduction of a physical object is required, as in medical imaging. These applications require ultra high definition. DTI has conceived an optical technique that can use a state-of-the-art light valve with 1.3 million pixels and double its resolution in both directions to produce a display with 5.2 million pixel resolution. Research to date indicates that to be technically viable, an effective mechanism is needed to direct spot illumination to multiple well focused spots with the precision to optically increase the resolution of the light valve. This innovation will enable display products to achieve resolutions not possible though conventional means to meet the most demanding digital display requirements including those for digital mammography, simulators, HDTV and digital cinema. Ultra high definition product monitors resulting from this research can be commercialized in a number of markets demanding high quality images with fine details and improved realism. These include digital cinema, multi-media presentation, dome simulators, digital mammography and radiology and HDTV.
