SID highlights diverse display technologies



...And perhaps a step beyond even electronic paper, Microvision (Bothell, WA) has started to roll out the first commercial products based on its established military-display technology, in which a display is actually painted onto the retina by directing an optical beam off of a MEMS-actuated biaxial scanning mirror (see "2-D scanner promises in-situ diagnosis," p. 47). The scanning engine is about the size of a sugar cube, according to Thomas Sanko, vice president of marketing at Microvision and can thus fit into devices like cell phones. But it produces a high-quality virtual display the size of a laptop screen. "The ultimate endgame is in consumer applications," Sanko said.
