SBIR Phase I: Ultra High Definition Color Projection Display

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将证明光束转向系统的可行性，该系统将使光阀上的每个像素成为四色像素，从而使光阀在两个方向上的分辨率加倍，并在没有条带效应的情况下添加颜色。 任何显示设备的目标都是创建用户正在观察真实的对象的令人信服的错觉。 这在仿真应用中尤其如此，其中真实性是至关重要的，或者需要真实和准确地再现物理对象，如在医学成像中。 这些应用需要超高清晰度。DTI设想了一种光学技术，可以使用具有130万像素的最先进的光阀，并在两个方向上将其分辨率提高一倍，以产生具有520万像素分辨率的显示器。迄今为止的研究表明，为了在技术上可行，需要一种有效的机制来将点照明引导到多个良好聚焦的点，其精度能够光学地增加光阀的分辨率。这一创新将使显示产品能够实现传统手段无法实现的分辨率，以满足最苛刻的数字显示要求，包括数字乳腺X射线摄影、模拟器、HDTV和数字电影。从这项研究中得到的超高清产品监视器可以在许多需要具有精细细节和改进的真实性的高质量图像的市场中商业化。这些包括数字电影，多媒体演示，圆顶模拟器，数字乳房X光检查和放射学以及HDTV。

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.
