.Juri 2 4 Bg7The Polyplanar Optical Display (POD) is a unique display screen which can be used with any projection source. The prototype ten inch display is two inches thick and has a matte black face which allows for high contrast images. The prototype being developed is a form, fit and functional replacement display for the B-52 aircrafl which uses a monochrome ten-inch display.In order to achieve a long lifetime, the new display uses a 100 milliwatt green solid-state laser (1 0,000 hr. lie) at 532 nm as its light source. To produce real-time video, the laser light is being modulated by a D i g i t a l Light Processing @LPTM) chip manufactured by Texas instruments. In order to use the solidstate laser as the light source and also fit within the constraints of the B-52 display, the Digital Micromirror Device (DMDf") circuit board is removed fiom the Texas Instruments DLP light engine assembly. Due to the Compact architecture of the projection system within the display chassis, the DMDm chip is operated remotely fiom the Texas Instruments circuit board.We discuss the operation of the DMDm divorced &om the light engine and the interfacing of the DMDW board with various video formats (CVBS, YIC or S-video and RGB) including the format specific to the B-52 aircraft. A brief discussion of the electronics required to drive the laser is also presented.

In order to produce real-time video, the laser light is being modulated by a Digital Light Processing @LPm) chip manufactured by Texas Instruments, Inc. A variable astigmatic focusing system is used to produce a stigmatic image on the viewing face of the POD. In addition to the optical design, we discuss the DLPm chip, the optomechanical design and viewing angle characteristics.
