Microdisplays are tiny, high-resolution electronic displays,
designed for use in magnifying optical systems such as HDTV
projectors and near-eye personal viewers. As a result of research
and development into this field, Microdisplays are
incorporated in a variety of visual electronics, notably new 3G
portable communications devices, digital camera technologies,
wireless internet applications, portable DVD viewers and wearable
PCs.
Introduction to Microdisplays encapsulates this market
through describing in detail the theory, structure, fabrication and
applications of Microdisplays. In particular this book:
* Provides excellent reference material for the Microdisplay
industry through including an overview of current applications
alongside a guide to future developments in the field
* Covers all current technologies and devices such as Silicon
Wafer Backplane Technology, Liquid Crystal Devices, Micromechanical
Devices, and the emerging area of Organic Light Emitting
Diodes
* Presents guidance on the design of applications of
Microdisplays, including Microdisplays for defence and telecoms,
from basic principles through to their performance limitations
Introduction to Microdisplays is a thorough and
comprehensive reference on this emerging topic. It is essential
reading for display technology manufacturers, developers, and
system integrators, as well as practising electrical engineers,
physicists, chemists and specialists in the display field. Graduate
students, researchers, and developers working in optics, material
science, and telecommunications will also find this a valuable
resource.
The Society for Information Display (SID) is an international
society, which has the aim of encouraging the development of all
aspects of the field of information display. Complementary to the
aims of the society, the Wiley-SID series is intended to explain
the latest developments in information display technology at a
professional level. The broad scope of the series addresses all
facets of information displays from technical aspects through
systems and prototypes to standards and ergonomics
