Forth Dimension Displays celebrates successful SID Mid European Spring Meeting in Jena
Dalgety Bay, Scotland. March 24, 2008
Forth Dimension Displays (ForthDD) have this month celebrated a successful SID Mid European Chapter meeting, this time at the Fraunhofer IOF in Jena, Germany.
At this event, the oral presentation by Mark McCallum of ForthDD entitled "The use of LCoS microdisplays in 3D optical surface metrology systems" was well received by peers and potential new customers alike.
To support this technical presentation, ForthDD demonstrated their "Time Domain Imaging" microdisplay solution at a busy exhibit where new and existing customers were able to discuss their numerous applications with ForthDD engineering and sales staff.
European Sales Manager David Vettese stated "With full colour, high resolution and high fill factor available in a single microdisplay package, the SXGA ferroelectric LCoS display was a star of the exhibition when shown in both Near-To-Eye and projection demonstrators. The fast switching speed of the liquid crystal also lends itself for use in emerging applications including holographic data storage, confocal microscopy and optical correlators".

Background Information
About Forth Dimension Displays - www.forthdd.com
Our Company
Forth Dimension Displays develops, manufactures and supplies 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 2006, 82% of our rapidly-growing revenues were from products shipped overseas, mostly to North America 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
