Microsoft Envisions The Next-generation LCD

[Guest]

Seattle (WA) - Scientists from Microsoft Research and the University of Washington claim to have developed a new display technology that could be four times as efficient in terms of backlight transmission as today's LCDs and display perfect black color.

Great, except that this technology has a current contrast ration of 20:1, that's right t-w-e-n-t-y.

Why the industry is still spinning their wheels with this eye-sore of a technology, is beyond me. Let's move far past LCDs, quickly!

i would like to know where you got that info from bf2
not trying to put you down, just interested

"The opening in the membrane is smaller than the secondary mirror to minimize diffraction leakage through the pixel. The first prototype's contrast ratio was 20:1, mainly due to the use of non-collimated back light. This was a limitation of the current prototype, not of the technology. This is supported by simulations (see Supplementary Information, Fig. S5), which show that a ratio of at least 800:1 is possible. The software used for the simulations was a finite-difference time-domain program (OptiFDTD, Optiwave)."

its the link ,to the paper published in nature , in this article.

I still love the response time :O

For your edification you should get into the habit of reading the source articles, especially when they are conveniently hotlinked.

I do, see how smart it makes me look?
