Meet Forth Dimension Displays at Laser – World of Photonics 2023

Posted on by Henning Molsen

At Laser – World of Photonics in Munich, Germany (27 – 30 June 2023, Messe München) Forth Dimension Displays will present its range of high resolution Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) and microdisplays. The SLMs are based on ferroelectric liquid crystal technology and offer a high frame rate of several kHz binary images. Interface options exist for each SLM model. 

The high resolution SLMs are known for their fast and stable structured light applications using binary phase modulation or binary amplitude modulation.

Please visit Hall B2 – Booth 137 to see our new WQHD, 2560 x 1440 pixel microdisplay intended for high-end Near-To-Eye applications applying the unique Time Domain Imaging technology.

The 2K x 2K, 4.1 MegaPixel microdisplay integrated into a monoviewer will be demonstrated. The high refresh rates make the microdisplay a prime contender for HMDs with multiple focal planes avoiding the accommodation vergence conflict.

A structured light projector demonstrates the superior applicability to 3D metrology like 3D Automated Optical Inspection. ForthDD is a leading supplier into this industry.

Using binary phase modulation allows laser beam steering without phase ripple at visible wavelengths.

The ITE on Image Technology takes place at the Pacifico Yokohama from 7 – 9 December 2022. Forth Dimension Displays with its partner Forte Solution Asia present its expanding range of Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) and microdisplays at booth #35 in Hall D.

The SLMs are based on ferroelectric liquid crystal technology (FLCOS) with resolution up to 4.1 Megapixel. Optical systems for fast and stable structuring of light use the binary amplitude modulation of ForthDD’s SLMs. 3D optical metrology with sinusoidal grey patterns is one of the main applications where the structured light is synchronized with the camera. 3D Automated Optical Inspection and other in-line quality control steps benefit from the experience of Forth Dimension Displays.

Please discuss your application idea with our East Asia representative Alex Bird of Forte Solution Asia.

Forth Dimension Displays Develops 2560 x 1440 FLCOS Microdisplay for Rugged Applications

Forth Dimension Displays Develops 2560 x 1440 FLCOS Microdisplay for Rugged Applications

Breakthrough 0.95-Inch Display using Wide-Temperature Range Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal

Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a leading provider of innovative wearable computing technologies and solutions, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Forth Dimension Displays (ForthDD) has developed a new WQHD (2560 x 1440 resolution) full-color Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal on Silicon (FLCOS) microdisplay for use in extreme temperature and shock environments. The new display incorporates ForthDD’s proprietary Wide Temperature Range Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (WTR FLC) material to operate over extended temperature ranges, which enables it to be used in a variety of previously unsupported rugged applications such as automotive, defense and avionics.

“FLCOS displays provide superior fill factor, color purity, and fast switching speeds which produces very high quality imagery, but historically ferroelectric liquid crystals have been restricted to limited temperature range applications,” said Greg Truman, Forth Dimension Displays’ Managing Director. “The breakthrough provided by our WTR FLC performance together with the very high resolution of the our WQHD display allows us to support resolutions that exceed the limits of our Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays (AMLCD) and brightness levels that exceed the capability of Organic Light Emitting Diode displays (OLEDs). The innovation provided by our WTR FLC, which has passed environmental and reliability tests, opens up many new applications and markets including high volume US defense product applications.”

The WQHD display with 8.2-micron pixels utilizes ForthDD’s patented Time Domain Imaging (TDI™) technique to produce superior full color imagery and no perceptible motion artifacts. The specialized ultra-fast ForthDD FLCOS overcomes the motion artifacts of standard Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) displays. The display is generally available as a Board Level Product with fully integrated driver and optional illumination subsystem later in 2020. WQHD displays have now been fully tested and are undergoing system qualification with the first defense customer as a part of fully integrated Kopin display systems, which incorporate the display with Kopin electronics, optics and system packaging elements.

“The availability of the new WQHD display gives us another microdisplay technology in our defense and enterprise product offerings and is ideal for use in systems needing cutting-edge high resolution and bright full color video images without color breakup,” said Bill Maffucci, Kopin’s Vice President/General Manager of Government and Professional Products. “The unique WQHD display is an excellent complement to our AMLCD displays which are primarily for soldier centric systems. As a result, it provides Kopin with the opportunity to open up new markets such as ground vehicle platforms. These market segments have been largely supported by CRT technology and represent a significant potential growth area facilitated by the new WQHD display.”

Forth Dimension Displays sponsors the FLC Conference 2019 in Boulder, Colorado

Posted on by Henning Molsen

4th July 2019 – Forth Dimension Displays is pleased to be sponsoring this years FLC conference in Boulder, Colorado.

Due to be held between 4 – 7 August 2019 at the University of Colorado in Boulder, the conference brings together leading experts in the field of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals (FLC). Boulder has been one of the hotbeds of research into physics, chemistry and applications of FLCs for over 30 years. Forth Dimension Displays’ microdisplays and spatial light modulators (SLM) are based on the electro-optics of FLCs. Therefore, it is very befitting to support continuous research into the fascinating properties of this material. At this conference Forth Dimension Displays will be sponsoring the Best Student Poster Award.
