Trends in image display systems

Today, with large volumes of data, high throughput requirements, and more complex image processing algorithms, the emphasis is on interactive image processing. Consequently, image displays are beginning to occupy a central role in image processing architectures. This paper presents some historical background on image displays and identifies the functional capabilities required in today´s displays. Provided next is a summary of current image display architectures and system design philosophy. The paper concludes with a projection of technology and indicates what impact these technologies will have on future display systems.
