 High-Resolution Displays
"Breaking the one mega-pixel barrier"


@ UCSD

Hardware 

The display consists of six D-ILA JVC (SX21S model) short throw projector each mounted on a positioner. The screen is a Jenmar BlackScreen. The projectors have been selected so that they have consecutive serial numbers in order to minimise variability.

After mounting the projectors, we discovered that the short thrown lenses (SX-21; throw ratio of 1:1) displayed a pronounced pin-cusshion effect as shown in the picture below.

Currently we are testing two short-throw lenses (2910; throw ratio of 1.22:1).
