Fiber Optic Options
Fiber optics expand the utility of eMagin's OLED microdisplays, enabling custom face plate designs, custom sizing, and custom configurations of tiled microdisplays. Effectively, these fused bundles of fiber optic strands provide a method of magnifying or reducing an image with minimum distortion. They can be fabricated to customer-specific requirements and can be machined into custom surface configurations for applications with specific optics. Magnification ratios can range up to 3:1.
For many applications tapers provide a cost-effective approach to configuring various sizes of microdisplays without creating custom integrated circuits. Using custom tapers
enables configuration of non-planar image surfaces for use with specific optic and system designs.
eMagin offers fiber optic face plates and a fiber optic taper configuration as standard products, and the company has demonstrated custom-tiled displays at UXGA (1600 x 1200 pixels) and double-UXGA (1600 x 2400 pixels). Custom sizes, surface designs, and tiled configurations are available.
