Xerox spins off dpiX for TFT sensors and displays
Xerox (Stamford, CT) has launched its dpiX company to develo¥and market high-resolution thin-film-transistor (TFT) based image sensors and displays. The operation is a spin-off of the electronics and imaging laboratory of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC, Palo Alto, CA). Researchers at PARC have demonstrated page-size flat-panel displays with 7 million pixels; displays on current lapto¥computers have roughly a half-million pixels. The company is using the same TFT technology for two
Xerox spins off dpiX for TFT sensors and displays
Xerox (Stamford, CT) has launched its dpiX company to develo¥and market high-resolution thin-film-transistor (TFT) based image sensors and displays. The operation is a spin-off of the electronics and imaging laboratory of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC, Palo Alto, CA). Researchers at PARC have demonstrated page-size flat-panel displays with 7 million pixels; displays on current lapto¥computers have roughly a half-million pixels. The company is using the same TFT technology for two-dimensional image-sensor arrays and is supplying x-ray imaging panels for the medical-diagnostic market as its first products. Such digital image capture allows direct data transmission to a radiologist at a distant consulting institution. The dpiX operation will introduce its first display product late this year--an active-matrix liquid-crystal display (AMLCD) for military aircraft cockpits. The firm has an AMLCD marketing and development agreement for defense applications with display-maker Planar Advance (Beaverton, OR).
