Holography partnership will make tiny displays visible

17 Jun 2002

DigiLens and DuPont Holographics have announced a partnership to market and promote display systems including holographic optical products from both US companies.

DigiLens' application-specific integrated lens (ASIL) and DuPont's holographic optical elements (HOEs) both have computer-generated optical characteristics, which are holographically recorded onto the miniature devices. The optical products combine to allow the signals from a microdisplay, an array of tiny pixel-sized mirrors on a microchip, to be seen in high resolution and colour.

DigiLens demonstrated its prototype of the world's first miniature, full-colour, hands-free microdisplay for Internet- and computer-based applications this week at the COMDEX '99 meeting in Las Vegas.

This month DuPont Holographics has bought Krystal Holographics, another manufacturer of holographic optical components. DuPont and Krystal have already worked together for four years developing photopolymer films for applications in electronics, security and graphics.
