Microsoft Research Company, together with the University of Washington said work on a new technology called"telescopic pixel"(telescopic pixel), which will create displays with a response time of less than 1, 5 ms, high-resolution, brightness, contrast and illumination efficiency, as well as the relatively low cost. The word"telescopic"in the title reflects the fact that each pixel represents a miniature telescope, consisting of principal (primary) and auxiliary (secondary) mirrors. Under-voltage main mirror, which in the initial condition is the plane takes almost a parabolic shape. The principle of such a system is simple. When a pixel is off, the voltage is not filed and the main mirror is becoming flat. Thus, both mirrors are blocking the passage of light, resulting in pixel seems black. When it is turned on the main mirror takes shape, as shown below. In such a situation it focuses light on the auxiliary mirror, which are reflected from it, passes through a gap 40 microns in diameter and creates a bright pixel. is not going into too much detail new technology, noting that this theme, we decided to devote a separate article, which will soon appear on our web site. Watch for announcements !
