Projection is a technology for generating large, high resolutionimages at a price point end users can afford. This allows it to beused in a wide variety of large-screen markets such as televisionand cinema. In addition, there are emerging small screen marketswhere a pocketable miniaturized projector can display images frommobile information devices such as smart phones or portable mediaplayers.
Fully revised, this second edition of Projection Displaysprovides up-to-date coverage of the optical and mechanical systemsin electronic projection displays. It takes into account major newdevelopments in the many technologies needed to manufacture aprojector display system. It presents a comprehensive review ofprojector architectures, systems, components and devices. Key newand updated features include:
* new material on light sources for projection displays;
* updated information on the human factors of projection displaysincluding color gamuts, resolution and speckle;
* coverage of new image generating systems including LCOS andscanned laser systems;
* up to date information on front and rear projectionscreens;
* practical examples of projection display applications;
* models for predicting the performance of optical and mechanicalsystems
This book is aimed at practicing engineers and researchersinvolved in the research, development, design and manufacture ofprojection displays. It includes key aspects from the manytechnologies contributing to projection systems such asillumination sources, optical design, electronics, semiconductordesign, microdisplay systems and mechanical engineering. The bookwill also be of interest to graduate students taking courses indisplay technology and imaging science, as well as students of themany other engineering, physics and optics disciplines that leadinto the field of projection displays.
The Society for Information Display (SID) is an internationalsociety, which has the aim of encouraging the development of allaspects of the field of information display. Complementary to theaims of the society, the Wiley-SID series is intended to explainthe latest developments in information display technology at aprofessional level. The broad scope of the series addresses allfacets of information displays from technical aspects throughsystems and prototypes to standards and ergonomics
