Advanced display systems technologies

This paper presents future display systems, such as, bendable flexible display with plasma technologies and a spatial light modulator driven by spin polarized current (Spin-SLM) for 3D holography TV. As a flexible display, a Luminous Array Film (LAFi) with the plasma tube is the world first film type display that realizes a bendable super large area emissive display. Using LAFi, several unique display applications with life size image and a curved display are realized. For holography application, we designed and fabricated ten-pixel array Spin-SLM with a fine pitch of 1 μm, that enables the large viewing-zone-angle of reproduced images, which no conventional SLMs can achieve. Although the number of pixel is not sufficient for reproducing holography images, diffracted light from the SLM was modulated by applying magnetic field. In summary, we have verified that Spin-SLM technology can potentially display holographic images with wide viewing-zone angles.
