The long-term viability of portable and handheld devices,
including smart phones, is dependent upon their providing an easy to use tool
with which people can access information. In the world of displays, like many
other industries, content is king and thus the standard setter. High resolution
or SVGA to XGA is the web and PC content standard of choice — both today and
in the immediate future. To comply, devices must incorporate a display solution
that provides this resolution.
Microdisplays
(tiny high resolution display on a chip) are part of the solution, but without
the critical magnifying and illumination optics, they can't display
high-definition Web content. You simply can't read the microdisplay when it is
the size of a tiny silicon chip - by definition it's microscopic!
In this application, the DigiLens ASIL holographically
encapsulates the prescriptions of multiple lenses within a slim glass
(laminated) solid state ASIL, saving space and decreasing weight, complexity and
cost. The optical characteristics are calculated, computer-generated, and
holographically recorded using proprietary software. When the ASIL is embedded
within a display, any single layer of the multi-layer DigiLens ASIL may be
switched clear momentarily, allowing the next "stacked" layer's
optical properties to become activated. For instance, by switching a layer clear
and synchronizing it with each of the microdisplay RGB sequential display
cycles, the DigiLens is able to solve this complex magnification problem
resulting in a clear big (microdisplay) screen to look at….. all from your
cell phone!
