Microdisplays--miniature picture-quality active-matrix electronic displays--provide a solution to the limitations presented by the size and immobility of some traditional displays. Though small, their benefits are great, for they deliver high-quality images in a variety of applications.

Dr. Ian Underwood, co-founder and director of strategic marketing at MicroEmissive Displays Ltd. (Edinburgh, Scotland), sees two main markets for microdisplays: projection and personal. Projection microdisplays, he told AI, "transmit light through or reflect light from a miniature display, pass it through magnifying optics and project it onto a wall or screen." Products of this type, which include data projectors and rear-projection domestic TV, have several key performance criteria--namely, high resolution, brightness, uniformity and color correctness.
