Laser phosphor display

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A laser phosphor display (LPD) is a screen composed of a matrix of UV - laser diodes which each have on their drawing area of the screen with the aid of movable mirrors an image section.

Structure and functionality

The screen is made of a plastic-glass hybrid material coated with colored phosphor strips. The laser draws the image section (analogous to the electron beam in a cathode ray tube ) line by line from top to bottom. The different phosphor layers are excited by the ultraviolet laser light and photons are emitted as a result.
