synopsis of screenless display
Screenless video describes systems for transmitting visual information from a video source without the use of a screen. Screenless computing systems can be divided into three groups: Visual Image, Retinal Direct, and Synaptic Interface.Visual Image screenless display includes any image that the eye can perceive. The most common example of Visual Image screenless display is a hologram. Arguably, virtual reality goggles (which consist of two small screens but are nonetheless sufficiently different from traditional computer screens to be considered screenless) and heads-up display in airplanes (which display images on the clear cockpit window) also are included in Visual Image category.[1] In all of these cases, light is reflected off some intermediate object (hologram, LCD panel, or cockpit window) before it reaches the retina. In the case of LCD panels the light is refracted from the back of the panel, but is nonetheless a reflected source. Google has proposed a similar system to replace the screens of tablet computers and smartphones.
Screenless displays are a part of an emerging technology in the field of displays that are likely to be a game changer and would change the way displays are used. The screenless display technology is used to transfer or display information without using a screen. The advancement in the field of screenless displays would lead to the replacement of touch screen displays by screenless ones in the near future. In due course of time, hardware component is expected to become economical. This technology is not developed fully till now and is available in a limited range of products.
Screenless displays are used mainly in medical holography for medical imaging applications. They are expected to find applications in commercial, consumer, aerospace & defense, and automotive sectors. They are currently used in holographic displays, head mounted displays, and head-up displays.
The total screenless display market was valued at USD 242.1 Million in 2014 and expected to reach USD 1,242.3 Million by 2020. The global screenless display market is expected to register a CAGR of 31.44% between 2015 and 2020.
Space constraint and portability issues associated with screen-based displays and the need for complete privacy, especially to view confidential information are some of the factors that would drive the screenless display market. However, high cost of this technology is the major restraint for the growth of this market. The fast growing gaming market and the demand for products consuming less power are expected to create a lot of opportunities for the growth of the market.
