Filed under: by:


HOLOEYE Sytems is a professional integrator of microdisplay technologies for specialty applications and markets and offers complete solutions and development services. Primarily developed for HDTV rear projection TVs, LCOS (Liquid Cristal on Silicon) microdisplays offer high resolution with small pixels and high contrast. HOLOEYE Systems offers LCOS microdisplays components for the development of HUDs, Near-to-Eye applications and all other applications where high resolution with high contrast is needed. All LCOS microdisplay components are available including all hardware and engineering support. LCOS microdisplay technology can compete and in some cases even outperform all other display technologies with respect to resolution, size, ease of use, quality and price. HOLOEYE Systems's OEM LCOS microdisplay service includes basic implementation assistance and performance specification for specialized applications. HOLOEYE Systems offers modification of driver parameters for customer specific requirements resulting in low-cost intelligent driver boards ready for mass production. This positions HOLOEYE Systems to be a key-supplier accross numerous markets and to be the very first company to market a "complete solution" to the end-user, whether they are in the defense, medical or aerospace industry. Even the highly cost-sensitive automotive industry is able to develop HUD systems based on high resolution HDTV LCOS microdisplay technology.

HOLOEYE Systems provides LCOS microdisplay technology to military & civil defense, aerospace, automotive, optical 3D measurement, medical, and biotechnology industries and market. HOLOEYE SYSTEMS can provide LCOS microdisplays for versatile applications in the sector of civil defense. The technology is applicable for various augmented reality implementations, e.g. policemen and fire fighters may be equipped with helmet mounted display (HMD) devices, projecting digital data directly in front of their eyes and providing them with mission critical, real-time information (such as maps, navigation or temperature information) at a glance. This technique is also applicable in diving masks, allowing the diver to keep his eyes focused on the dive while presenting critical dive data. The applicability of HOLOEYE's LCOS microdisplays in the aviation industry is virtually unlimited. Applications increase security of air travel and range from helmet displays (to provide the pilot with essential information while keeping his eyes focused on navigating the aircraft) to HUD cockpit applications. One of the most widely-spread optical measurement techniques for 3D-digitizing, 3D-surface inspection, 3D metrology and even etch depth measurement is the fringe projection method: The surface of an object is illuminated with a sequence of fringe patterns. A camera observes the illuminated object and its surface shape is calculated according to the resulting displacement of the fringes. The required fringe patterncan be realized with ultimate precision by using HOLOEYE LCOS microdisplays. This 3D scanning technique has been efficiently used in industrial and life science applications, such as rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, medical imaging etc. HOLOEYE's LCOS microdisplays are ideal for the most advanced medical applications as the new displays provide high-definition images for medical professionals in many fields including endoscopy, radiology, neurology, microscopy and surgery. LCOS displays are ideal for surgeons since they take up so little space but deliver ultra-sharp imaging. In medical equipment HOLOEYE's LCOS microdisplays are also implemented in Near-To-Eye information displays. The surgeon may continue to view the patient anatomy while selected information is superimposed. Examples of such overlays are tumor contours or navigational cues indicating the location of key pathology. Key applications for HOLOEYE's LCOS microdisplays in biotechnology are optical, or laser tweezers and microscopy. Optical Tweezers use a holographic device, such as a LCOS based spatial light modulator (SLM), to sculpt the light from a laser into hundreds of independently controllable optical traps that function like microscopic "tractor beams" to grab any micro- or nanoscale objects, which can then be positioned and moved in three dimensions.
