Forth Dimension Displays share in an active Control 08 show in Stuttgart

Dalgety Bay, Scotland. May 6, 2008

Forth Dimension Displays (ForthDD) have returned from a successful Control 08 in Stuttgart, Germany. Once again, the popularity of this exhibition shows that it is the international trade event for quality assurance. ForthDD exhibited successfully beside companies from many countries marketing their products in areas such as materials testing, coordinate measuring apparatus and 3D metrology.

ForthDD sales staff and applications engineers were busy throughout the four day event discussing the integration of ForthDD's high resolution microdisplay products into 3D surface metrology applications. Of particular interest to a number of our new contacts was the soon to be released SXGA-3DM product.

European Sales Manager David Vettese stated "Our customer consultation exercise for the SXGA-3DM product has produced a product specification which meets the needs of the fringe and line projection application builders perfectly. This new product can now enable further advances in microdisplay based 3D metrology applications as we believe our product to be both technically and commercially closer to the system builder's requirements than any other microdisplay based product currently available".

Background Information

About Forth Dimension Displays - www.forthdd.com

Our Company

Forth Dimension Displays is the world's leading supplier of high resolution displays for Near-To-Eye applications. We develop, manufacture and supply the world's most advanced microdisplays using a proprietary, fast-switching liquid crystal technology.

The Company -- previously named CRLO Displays Ltd -- was formed in September 2004, funded by an "A" series round of $19 M from Amadeus Capital Partners and Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures.

We are located in Dalgety Bay, Scotland across the River Forth from Edinburgh.

In 2007, 87% of our rapidly-growing revenues were from products shipped internationally, to North America, Europe and Asia. Our customer base is global. We may be technology-driven, but we are customer-obsessed.

Our technical team has proven experience in applications integration; product engineering (optics, microdisplays, drivers, liquid crystals) as well as manufacturing and QA.


Our Technology and its Benefits

Our proprietary, high-speed liquid crystal technology has major advantages in performance and cost.

Performance advantages
: our technology is all digital.  There are no RGB sub-pixels, no separate RGB beams, no tilting mirrors.  We process images purely in the time domain – the 4th Dimension.  And we do it on just one chip.

This combination allows both amplitude and phase modulated imaging.  It provides high native resolution, full 24-bit colour for showing high-speed motion. Our technology is well-matched to the new LED and laser diode light sources.

Cost advantages: The single chip has no moving parts, so it is built using standard CMOS wafer processes.  The absence of separate RGB light paths enables our customers to use simpler, lower cost optics in their system integration.  

A portfolio of more than seventy patents protects our unique TDITM technology.


Applications, Market Segments and Products

Forth Dimension Displays has an established reputation as the leading supplier of premium, high native resolution microdisplays in training and simulation systems for military and aerospace customers. We continue to serve this segment with chip, driver and board-level products.

We are expanding our business to customers in emerging segments such as:

Electronic viewfinders for High Definition Video cameras
Confocal microscopy and image injection for medical diagnostic and surgical systems
Digital printing and imaging systems
High-resolution industrial metrology and process systems
Advanced 3D and holographic imaging systems
