SXGA 0.88″ M249 FLCoS Display

The SXGA microdisplay is a digitally-controlled reflective ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon (FLCoS) spatial light modulator (SLM) suitable for imaging and other light modulation applications.

When coupled to a microdisplay interface product and an appropriate optical system, the SXGA microdisplay can be used to control either the amplitude or phase of light incident upon it.

The microdisplay is an electro-optical device that takes a 2D 1-bit binary array as its input and maps it to its corresponding pixel array. Each pixel can be “on” or “off” according to the value of the corresponding input bit. With appropriate optics and using Time Domain Imaging™ techniques, a diverse range of applications can be served.

High fill-factor (small inter-pixel gap, no sub-pixels), customizable color gamut, no image burn-in of static content and fast refresh make the SXGA particularly suitable for applications requiring high-fidelity image reproduction such as virtual imagers for training & simulation applications, video monitoring, and medical image injection.

A choice of video or flash memory based interface platforms support applications ranging from structured light projection for automated optical inspection (AOI) to ophthalmic diagnostic equipment.

The microdisplay’s ability to function at large angles of incidence makes it an ideal choice for projection systems where off-axis projection is required in order to meet the Scheimpflug condition. We have a long-term supply policy for this product, making it an ideal choice for products demanding long term support.

R3 Interface

The high frame rate of the SXGA-R3 remote single/dual head microdisplay board drive board enhances performance for producers of both display and non-display applications, such as spatial light modulation. This is a simple and instant plug-and-play unit that supports remote connection of either one microdisplay driven from one interface board (single channel system) or two microdisplays driven from one interface board plus daughter-board (dual channel system).

R5 Interface

SXGA-R5 is a compact, direct drive interface suitable for all high-performance monocular, biocular, and binocular imaging applications. The SXGA-R5 system is a fast-switching, all-digital, high-performance reflective microdisplay and interface electronics. Using no color sub-pixels, the proprietary Time Domain Imaging technology provides full-color high-resolution images from one all digital microdisplay.

R12 Interface

The SXGA-R12 is a fast-switching, all-digital, high-performance reflective SLM with the R12 application specific interface and an optional 4.7 A LED driver, specifically designed to meet the demands of optical metrology system builders. The interface allows the system builder to precisely time their images on the device under test. Bi-directional trigger signals (either to the interface or from it) ensure accurate synchronization with other system components. With storage for 768 full resolution 1-bit images, the interface allows offline set up for online optimization with no controlling PC required. The SLM offers digitally precise images in a high fill factor FLCoS package ideally suited for off-axis projector applications in the 3D metrology market.
