Pico-projection Systems

State-of-the-art text introducing readers to the rapidly developing field of pico-projection displays Pico-projection Systems provides readers with a good understanding of all the competing technologies in a clear and accessible manner. The author introduces and reviews the components involved in picoprojectors, including LEDs, lasers, microdisplays, optical components, etc. How all of these components work together as complete systems is then illustrated. A strong focus is put on image quality and system efficacy. The author introduces the history, motivations and applications of pico-projector technology, before exploring the two main pico-projector technologies, LED-based and laser-based projection architectures and within each of these chapters, a comprehensive technical review is provided of the state-of-the-art together with the fundamental characteristics and constraints in order to facilitate objective comparison. * Explains the basic concepts behind pico-projectors as well as exploring both the safety implications and potential markets. * Focus on system level considerations rather than component level issues. * Includes LED-based and laser-based projection architectures, representing the two major candidate technologies currently under active development with comparable sub-sections for each to help highlight the comparative merits of the technologies. Essential reading for product development professionals in the consumer electronics and displays industries
