The future of displays? |
I remember years ago when colour LCD displays were just equations being
worked on. I'm wondering what I can expect in the next 15-20 years.
Will it be more of the same, but bigger, lighter, and flexible? LCD
monitors seem good enough, now, for just using a computer. LCD
projectors seem good, but need bulb replacement so how about LEDs
instead?
I am more thinking about displaying extra information other than
intensity, like holographic displays (colour or monochrome) and
possibly reflectivity so you can get good metallic colours. This would
go down well, I believe for shopping channels.
Capturing information to display a hologram is another issue.

Get lost ego tripper, you bring in nothing in this discussion on displays.
PLONK
I think I was the second person to respond to the OP, with my
predictions.
I get plonked for saying that I WOULDN'T make an unkind joke about
someone? That's a bit hard. I'll cry in a minute.

Seems to me that someone who had a serious interest should go check
out the SID proceedings for the previous 5-10 years, then (maybe) come
back with questions about specific emerging technologies.

What are the SID proceedings? Google is your friend.

You might not get enough of a spread of wavelengths from white LEDs to
be able to reproduce colours well; I'll do a little internet searching.

The advance of technology (both direction and speed) is rarely
predictable. Futurists are almost always wrong.
Note however that the primary factor in determining whether something
happens or not is usually economics; and (for comercial products) that
usually depends much more on manufacturing technology than on the
technology of the end product.

The display of the future will be electrophoretic - it has been for
some thirty years now.
In principle, using electrically charged black and white particles
suspended in a fluid is a great way to make "digital paper", with the
same sort of reflective contrast as you get from the printed page, and
since the particles tend to stick around when the writing field is off,
power consumption is pretty low.
I suppose someone will get the bugs out eventually, as they finally did
with ink jet printers ......
