    Next Gen Projectors Why choosing laser projection makes sense for churches Summary Our existing lamp based projector was failing and was not really bright enough to serve our needs as we anticipated transitioning to IMAG (image Projection for use during Sunday morning church made its rather quiet debut magnification), where a pastor’s—or vocalist’s—live image can be projected in the 1980’s. Today, projection has grown to become a multimedia staple of onto a screen to provide an up-close experience for those in more remote the modern worship experience. seating. In the eighties, both slide and overhead projectors provided a way for song In our research to find the best solution we looked at, and priced, three different lyrics to be projected during services. In the nineties the technology graduated options; lamp based projection, LED walls and the latest technology to grace to video projection and the use of PowerPoint software, which ruled the this realm—laser projection. presentation landscape. Our church’s screen is 9’x16,’ and like many churches, we have ambient light In the early 2000’s data projection and the exponential advances of presentation issues to deal with. To make a purchase decision we looked at four areas: life software have made their mark.

    W575-Templier.qxp_Layout 1 01/07/2014 09:02 Page 1 ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING SERIES We have now embraced the ‘Digital Age’, in which both our François Templier Edited by professional and leisure activities involve more and more communication devices, requiring displays of many types to play an increasing role. Within this context, a growing number of display types and sizes have emerged, currently generating a market in excess of $100 billion, which is in the same order of OLED Microdisplays magnitude as that of the semiconductor industry. Microdisplays, namely displays so small that they require an optical magnification to be seen, have a significant share of this Technology and Applications market. Over the last decade, OLED microdisplays have reached a wide industrial and commercial market and promise to expand further in the digital age, in which they provide unique and unrivalled features for portable and wearable devices in particular. OLED Microdisplays The authors of this book provide a review of the state of the art on OLED microdisplays. All aspects, from theory to application, are addressed in a comprehensive way: basic principles; display design, fabrication, operation and performance; present and future applications. This is of interest to a wide range of readers, from industry professionals (engineers, project managers etc.) engaged in the field of display development/fabrication, through display end-users (integration in display systems) to academic researchers, university lecturers and students. Overall, the book aims to offer easy access to OLED microdisplay details for all readers seeking to further their understanding of the subject. François Templier works at CEA-LETI in Grenoble, France.

Brawn & CTSJonathan Brawn CTS, ISF, ISF-C, DSCE, DSDE, DSNE Principal, PrincipalsBrawn of Brawn Consulting Consulting [email protected] [email protected] Advanced Display Technologies • The central focus of the commercial industry is (and perhaps always will be) displays. • The topic of displays is broad, encompassing many elements built in to the final products that we buy. • This course is intended to take a detailed look at the technologies that go into each type of displays that are commonly available today. • To place it all in context, we will examine the operation and construction of the technologies themselves, and advances and trends that will characterize where we will be going in the future. • We hope you enjoy the journey! Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Technology LCD Made Possible • There's far more to building an LCD than simply creating a sheet of liquid crystals. • The combination of four principles makes LCDs possible: • Light can be polarized. • Liquid crystal can transmit polarized light or change the plane of polarization. • The structure of liquid crystals can be changed by electric field. • There are transparent substances that can conduct electricity. Polarization of Light • Light is made up of electromagnetic waves, that can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed by materials. • These waves will naturally have an axis, or a plane that they follow as they move through space. • When light is said to be polarized, all of the waves of light are following the same axis and orientation of the plane. • A polarizing filter is designed to block out light of certain planes, while allowing specific orientations through the filter.

ID 360876); published 6 September 2019 For 3D imaging and shape measurement, simultaneously achieving real-time and high-accuracy performance remains a challenging task in practice. In this paper, a fringe-projection-based 3D imaging and shape measure- ment technique using a three-chip liquid-crystal-display (3LCD) projector and a deep machine learning scheme is presented. By encoding three phase-shifted fringe patterns into the red, green, and blue (RGB) channels of a color image and controlling the 3LCD projector to project the RGB channels individually, the technique can synchron- ize the projector and the camera to capture the required fringe images at a fast speed. In the meantime, the 3D imaging and shape measurement accuracy is dramatically improved by introducing a novel phase determination approach built on a fully connected deep neural network (DNN) learning model. The proposed system allows performing 3D imaging and shape measurement of multiple complex objects at a real-time speed of 25.6 fps with relative accuracy of 0.012%. Experiments have shown great promise for advancing scientific and engineering applications.
