When I started this blog, I intended to write about more than displays and include some of my personal IC history. Today’s story is about Derek Roskell of Texas Instrument’s who led the UK-based design teams I worked with between…
Back around 2007, when I was at Syndiant, we started looking at the pico projector market, talked to many of the major cell phones and several PC companies, and almost everyone had at least an R&D program working on pico…
This blog was the first to identify that there was a Himax panel in an early Google Glass prototype and the first to identify that there was a field sequential color LCOS panel inside Google Glass. Due to the connection…
A reader, Doug Atkinson, asked a question about meeting extended temperature ranges with LC based microdisplays, particularly with respect to Kopin. He asked the classic “car dash in the desert and the trunk in Alaska” question. I thought the…
I’m curious what people think will be the near eye microdisplay of the future. Each technology has its own drawbacks and advantages that are well known. I thought I would start by listing summarizing the various options: Color filter transmissive…
After posting my discovery of a Himax LCOS panel on a Google Glass prototype, I received a number of inquiries about Kopin including a request from Mark Gomes of SeekingAlpha the give my thoughts about Kopin which were published in…
The conventional wisdom is that eventually OLEDs will become inexpensive and they will push out all other technologies in near eye because they will be smaller and lighter with a simple optical path. But in reading ‘Steve Mann: My “Augmediated”…
I’m going to have to eat some crow because up until Saturday night, I honestly thought Google was using a transmissive panel based on the shape of the newer Google Glass headset. I hadn’t seen anything that showed it used…
I usually just talk technology on this blog, but the recent events involving my blog on Google Glass using Himax’s panel caused some fascinating movement in Himax’s stock price. There have been several moves of over one hundred million…
As a follow-up to my last post, I though I would show why Google Glass is most likely using a transmissive panel. It all comes down to size and shape. Shown to the left is a Kopin transmissive panel more…
