This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to undertake feasibility study of design and fabrication a full-color, transparent, emissive display technology with pixel-pitch of 20m (or smaller), and an area which exceeds the image intensifiers 18mm circular effective area for use in a multi-imaging plane system. This includes identifying the technology utilized; detailing the technical challenges relevant to the implementation within the deployment environment; quantifying the limitations to the system relative to the information input/output of the display; detailing achievable performance metrics; describing integration process, system-level challenges; and a thorough business plan describing the Non-Recurring Costs, minimum rate of production, units per year required to achieve sustainable production of a transparent emissive microdisplay, and market analysis. The goal is to achieve a fully operational proof-of-concept demonstration of the key components and functional systems in a bench-top / PC-board scaled prototype along with all the design documents and complete specifications along with documentation of committed sources and service providers for the fabrication of the device to be produced in Phase II.
