Finally
- A Silent, Solid State alternative to mechanical, noisy colour wheels.
In a single chip microdisplay projection engine, the white light from the lamp must be separated into sequential red, green and blue wavelengths in order to create a full colour image from the microdisplay. This is ordinarily achieved using a mechanical rotating colour wheel. |
| Colour wheels are noisy, mechanical rotating filters used to separate white light into red, green and blue wavelengths. |
| This approach is used in many of the ultra portable
projectors dominating the market today. The mechanical colour wheel
however is noisy and requires complex (expensive) synchronization with
the display drivers to achieve reliable results. It is also bulky
consuming valuable space. It would be inconceivable to put a colour
wheel in a small microdisplay product for instance.

| The ASIL Advantage | |
| DigiLens technology provides a solid state alternative
to the mechanical colour wheel having red, green and blue diffractive
layers which can be electronically switched on and off with simple
synchronization.
As the different layers of the ASIL are activated in turn, the red, green and blue light is focused onto the display chip. By rapidly switching between the layers, in synchronization with the |

ASIL solutions provide a solid state, silent alternative to colour
wheels allowing single chip systems to be used in desktop rear
projection monitors or TVs where silent, continuous trouble free
operation is critical. |

| display chip, the red green and blue illumination allows the microdisplay to generate a high definition full colour image - just like today's colour wheel based microdisplay based projectors, but without the annoying noise. DigiLens has working demonstrations of this technology and is developing several components for some for the world's leading projection display manufacturers. If you value quiet, especially in rear projection microdisplay based monitors, read on! DigiLens is committed to the future of low cost projection displays. | |
