MATRIX CONTROLLED DISPLAY DEVICE.

Abstract

A discription is presented of the work accom plished to develop a feasibility model of a matrix controlled display device using techniques called in-air surface deformation recording and TIRP (Total Internal Reflection Prisrojec tion. To introduce the reader to these tech niques, a brief description of their basic principles is given. The test setup to provide an elemental portion of the large screen display at 20 to 30 foot-lamberts brightness by optical readout of deformations on a thermoplastic or oil medium is discussed. Circuitry to implement the deformation recording technique using X-Y matrix control is given. A basic mechanical con figuration is considered. Information is pro vided on the preparation of artwork and a photo graphic mask necessary to fabricate matrix elec trodes at 5, 10, and 20 line pairs per millimeter with three electrode widths. The results of initial experiments in etching of transparent, conductive coatings to form the electrodes are given. (Author)
