Professional series of personal displays (PD-18)
Lumus products for the professional market offer full see-through, full color, high-brightness and SVGA resolution. Their frameless, monocular top-down design enables unobstructed peripheral vision and is particularly suitable for mounting on professional head-gear, while their superior performance makes them the optimal wearable display solution for augmented reality applications. Lumus' current model of its professional personal display is known as the PD-18.
Unique LOE technology
Lumus professional personal displays employ a Light-guide Optical Element (LOE) - a patented, disruptive technology which breaks the tradeoff between the physical size of traditional optical systems and their performance, by offering high image quality with unprecedented compactness. The LOE is an ultra-thin, transparent element that collects image components from a micro display and projects them into a large, high-quality virtual image. Highly compact but still enabling a large Field-of-View, the LOE is in a class of its own.
Unmatched benefits for mobile display viewers
Lumus professional personal displays offer a range of advantages, including:
- Frameless design, ensuring unobstructed peripheral vision for improved ambient perception and environmental operation safety
- See-through optical element offering full see-through viewing
- Full color and high quality SVGA resolution
- High brightness enabling use outdoors
- Super compact and lightweight
- Enhanced eye motion box enabling easy operation with no eye-strain, and sustained image visibility even when vibrating in airborne or other unstable environments
- Eye safe LED illumination
- Convenient to use - the combination of the frameless design, large Field-of-View, distant focal plane, full peripheral vision and large eye-motion-box ensure no eye fatigue, even with prolonged use
Typical applications
- Computer-aided maintenance and service: provision of hands-free operation for service and maintenance personnel, together with direct visual access to data and instructions which can be optionally overlaid on the components being serviced
- General aviation: combination with an angular positioning sensor enables use as a pilot navigation aid and to provide flight information
- Emergency services: provides security and emergency service personnel with hands-free, visual information such as maps, suspect photographs and navigation data, while on the move
- Medical: permits the display of critical information or images while maintaining eye-contact with the patient/area being treated
- Military applications: personal displays for combat soldiers, where the difference between keeping their head up and looking down at a PDA or map can mean the difference between life and death; similarly, personal displays offer augmented reality capabilities which can significantly improve effectiveness
- Interactive information delivery: professionals and organizations seeking enhanced interactive information delivery, such as museums, tourist organizations and educational associations
