Seamless Display wins a UK Government Grant of 45,000
Seamless Display Ltd is currently using technology initially developed by the Oxford University's Department of Engineering to produce a continuous display across a 2x2 array of LCD screens. The first prototype will produce a display across both horizontal and vertical screen borders, as well as internal corners, and represents an important step towards creating seamless display screens of unlimited size. Reflecting this step forward in the technology, the company has been awarded a Smart Feasibility Study Award of 45,000 from the UK Government's Department of Trade and Industry. The technology works by digitally compressing a portion of the image near the screen border and then using specially designed lenses to spread this compressed image over the inactive borders between adjacent screens. At the unveiling of the first working demonstrator, Dr. J. Norman Bardsley, Director of the US Display Consortium, remarked on the technology's importance: "Eliminating the seams between [LCD] modules without the introduction of image distortion has been attempted unsuccessfully by many groups and has become the 'holy grail' for developers of tiled display systems. Seamless Display has an innovative approach and has made remarkable progress towards achieving this goal in a very short time. Their technique could provide a low-cost solution to this important problem facing the display industry." The company's three-panel demonstrator is currently on view at the Sa Business School (SBS) at the University of Oxford. Still images and a video of the demonstrator are available on the company's website, located at: http://www.seamlessdisplay.com.
