Micropixel Suspension Matrix Display™ (or simply MSM Display™), is an innovative concept which visually depicts information in true three dimensions.

This apparatus does not simply simulate 3-D images on a two-dimensional surface. Rather, it creates real three-dimensional objects out of illuminated pixels.

Observers of MSM Display perceive depth and spatial orientation much as they do in real life. Moreover, images created within the physical housing continuously change with real-time data inputs.

MSM Display™ revolutionizes the way people create and experience images. Applications include:

• Air Traffic Control
• Battlefield Management/Military Ops
• UAV/Missile Control
• Avionics
• Surveillance/Security
• Medical Diagnostics
• Cartography
• Architecture
• Industrial Modeling
• Computer Gaming
• Cinema/Television
• Consumer Electronics
• Robotics/Artificial Vision

Product Details & FAQ

What is MSM Display?
Micropixel Suspension Matrix Display is a unique and useful way of displaying still and moving images in true three dimensions. It does not create representations or simulations of three-dimensions. This apparatus creates images that are experienced by the viewer in true three dimensions. Images exhibit width, height, and depth in much the same way as any ordinary physical object. The MSM Display "sculpture" is achieved exclusively with light.

Why is MSM Display needed?
Until now, there have been only two ways in which to depict images: as two dimensional representations or as three dimensional models. We live in a three-dimensional world, where virtually every known object has volume. One and two dimensional objects only exist in concept, and do not actually translate into anything "real" to our senses.

Only models and sculptures convey information in actual three dimensions. Such models are necessarily fixed in time and dimension. Computer simulations of three dimensional objects only yield two-dimensional representations of three dimensional objects.

The creation of MSM Display allows imaging of information in true three dimensions, and allows that information to change in "real-time". The purpose of MSM Display is to ultimately change the way we experience, interpret, and share information.

What are the applications for MSM Display Technology?
The ability to create true three-dimensional information with the MSM Display opens up exciting opportunities for new products from companies with varying interests. It will allow the transfer of information in new, realistic, and appealing ways.

Products that will benefit from MSM Display technology include defense applications, battlefield management, aerospace, avionics, air traffic control, GPS interface, security and surveillance, medical imaging, computer games, television and movies, law enforcement product modeling, employee management, stockroom mapping, industrial modeling, engineering, architecture, robotics and synthetic vision, cartography, forestry, mining, teaching and educational aids, toys, and more.

How does it work?
This devise consists of an optically clear housing, into which precisely controlled laser light is introduced. The interaction between the laser light and chemically active elements suspended within the housing creates three-dimensional images. Computer driven articulating lenses allow generated images to change with real-time inputs.

The embodiment of the MSM Display represents a fundamental departure from how information is currently shared. Using a combination of readily available materials with newly emerging nanotechnology, this device can be fabricated by manufacturers currently engaged in the development of opto-electronic products.
