A NEW 3-DIMENSIONAL DISPLAY TECHNIQUE

Abstract

A new dynamic volumetric display technique is described in which a vibrational membrane mirror is used to form a three-dimensional image of a time varying, two-dimensional pattern. This technique offers certain simplifications over existing volumetric display systems of the electromechanical type. Among its advantages are reduced costs and increased reliability; two of its many areas of application are air traffic control and signal analysis, including radar signals. The report describes the operation and characteristics of the basic device, the various forms it can take, and its possible applications in modern display technology.
