Projection Displays

Informationen zum Autor Matthew S. Brennesholtz, Insight Media, Pleasantville, NY Dr Brennesholtz is currently a Senior Analyst at Insight Media in the USA. In this position, he works on a variety of topics relating to display systems, including supply chain issues, emerging display technologies and new applications for microdisplay technology. He has also headed research projects on illumination systems for projection displays, covering lasers and conventional lamps, and on a new type of liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) backplane. In addition to this, he has authored 18 conference and journal papers, and the first edition of Projection Displays (Wiley, 1998) with Edward Stupp. Previous to his employment at Insight Media, Dr Brennesholtz has had positions at Philips and General Electric, and he currently holds 23 patents. Edward H. Stupp, Stupp Associates, Display Consultation, Jackson, NJ Edward Stupp currently runs his own consulting company, advising on display technology for industry. He authored the first edition of Projection Displays (Wiley, 1998) but is not directly contributing to the revision of the second edition. He will be listed as a co-author due to his involvement in the first edition. Klappentext 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 [start italics]Projection Displays[end italics] 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.
