Optical Trap Display and Printing Technology ID: 2022-026

This technology revolutionizes display and printing systems by utilizing advanced light tube techniques for creating dynamic volumetric images.

Technology Overview

An innovative approach to optical trap displays and printing that employs variations of light tube methodologies, including frozen waves and Bessel beams, to manipulate particles within a display medium. This method allows for the creation of three-dimensional images by trapping and displaying particles with precise control, synchronized with spatial light modulators (SLMs) for dynamic visualization.

Key Advantages

• Integrates trapping, manipulation, and illumination into a single platform, simplifying the hardware required for volumetric displays
• Utilizes frozen waves to achieve rapid image creation and high refresh rates, overcoming the limitations of SLM processing speeds
• Enables the production of high-resolution, three-dimensional images with depth, enhancing viewer experience

Problems Addressed

• Eliminates the need for multiple devices for trapping, manipulating, and illuminating particles, reducing complexity and cost
• Addresses the issue of slow SLM processing speeds that limit image refresh rates and resolution in traditional optical displays
• Improves the capability to create dynamic, volumetric images with high resolution and depth, surpassing the limitations of current display technologies

Market Applications

• Advanced display systems for entertainment and advertising, offering immersive visual experiences
• Educational tools that utilize volumetric imaging for interactive learning and demonstrations
• Medical imaging devices capable of displaying detailed three-dimensional representations of complex biological structures
• Innovative printing solutions that produce high-definition three-dimensional objects for industrial and creative applications
