Waveguide Panel Display Using Electromechanical Spatial Modulators

摘要

A novel micro‐electro‐mechanical system (MEMS) approach in waveguide panel displays (WPD) is described. High efficiency electromechanical spatial modulators, based on the use of frustrated total internal reflection, were demonstrated. Potential applications of the new display in HDTV using solid‐state light emitting diode (LED) as a light source are discussed.
