Projection Displays / Wiley Series in Display Technology (PDF)

Projection is a technology for generating large, high resolution
images at a price point end users can afford. This allows it to be
used in a wide variety of large-screen markets such as television
and cinema. In addition, there are emerging small screen markets
where a pocketable miniaturized projector can display images from
mobile information devices such as smart phones or portable media
players.



Fully revised, this second edition of Projection Displays
provides up-to-date coverage of the optical and mechanical systems
in electronic projection displays. It takes into account major new
developments in the many technologies needed to manufacture a
projector display system. It presents a comprehensive review of
projector architectures, systems, components and devices. Key new
and updated features include:



* new material on light sources for projection displays;

* updated information on the human factors of projection displays
including color gamuts, resolution and speckle;

* coverage of new image generating systems including LCOS and
scanned laser systems;

* up to date information on front and rear projection
screens;

* practical examples of projection display applications;

* models for predicting the performance of optical and mechanical
systems

This book is aimed at practicing engineers and researchers
involved in the research, development, design and manufacture of
projection displays. It includes key aspects from the many
technologies contributing to projection systems such as
illumination sources, optical design, electronics, semiconductor
design, microdisplay systems and mechanical engineering. The book
will also be of interest to graduate students taking courses in
display technology and imaging science, as well as students of the
many other engineering, physics and optics disciplines that lead
into the field of projection displays.

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
