This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project, matchbox projection systems, addresses a major opportunity in the multi-billion dollar projection display market. . The main goal for the phase II project is to develop a Matchbox projector based on one liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) panel using the field sequential color (FSC) method. The development includes the fabrication of full custom and mixed signal integrated circuit (IC), LCOS panel, optical light engine, and mechanical assembly. The silicon backplane will contain 1280 x 768 frame buffer pixels that remove charge sharing and charge inducement noise, increase charge storage memory time, enhance display brightness, and increase image contrast ratio. The data loading will use frame-at-a-time approach, allowing an image to be displayed at full contrast while the next image is buffered onto the backplane. LCOS panel assembly process will be developed for implementing panels with high thickness uniformity, high contrast ratio, fast switching, and high reliability. The optical engine design will focus on compact FSC system. The display market is multi-billion dollar market with a wide range of products. The commercial and military markets rely on highly specialized display products such as microscope and head mount displays. The LCOS system hopes to enable low power, high-resolution products in the market place.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目，火柴盒投影系统，解决了数十亿美元投影显示市场的主要机会。第二阶段项目的主要目标是使用现场顺序显色（FSC）方法开发基于单面液晶（LCOS）面板的火柴盒投影仪。开发包括全定制和混合信号集成电路（IC）， LCOS面板，光学光引擎和机械组件的制造。硅背板将包含1280 x 768帧缓冲像素，消除电荷共享和电荷诱导噪声，增加电荷存储记忆时间，增强显示亮度，提高图像对比度。数据加载将使用一帧一帧的方法，允许图像以完全对比度显示，而下一个图像被缓冲到背板上。将开发LCOS面板组装工艺，以实现高厚度均匀性、高对比度、快速切换和高可靠性的面板。光引擎的设计重点是紧凑型FSC系统。显示器市场是一个价值数十亿美元的市场，产品种类繁多。商业和军事市场依赖高度专业化的显示产品，如显微镜和头戴式显示器。LCOS系统希望在市场上实现低功耗，高分辨率的产品。
