A Compact Silicon Microdisplay for VCD/DVD Goggles
Details
We have developed a highly integrated liquid-crystal-on-silicon microdisplay for virtual reality applications. The silicon panel of 704 × 576 spatial resolution was designed and fabricated by a custom 0.35μm CMOS technology. The pixel pitch was 9.6μm and the fill factor was 88%. A three-dimensional(3D) video stream in interlaced format was generated by a 3D modeling code for test and demonstration. A color sequential and control logic was implemented to obtain full color and extract video frames for the display. With two silicon microdisplays and eyepieces for each eye, we have demonstrated a 3D stereoscopic display.
