Light Source and Screen (Proposal)
Enclosed is an extra copy of proposal to STATINTL
develop a new approach to a projection screen and
light source. Three copies of the proposal are be.
ing sent to for ction and an additional
copy is being sent to for information. STATINTL
When first discussing with the concept STATINTL
of ultraviolet energy impingement on a screen to
cause visual fluorescence, I had in mind a general
purpose type viewing situation. I think now though
that it is probably more applicable to special
purpose exploitation techniques.
The concepts appear to be fundamentally sound and. do
not require new invention, In view of the potential
advantages, I believe implementation of the feasibility
study is urgently needed.
In paragraph 3.2 page 6, I think is hedging STATINTL
unnecessarily in his comments on a dispersive screen.
The real power of this approach is to be able to use
a transparent screen in full ambient room light.
Flicker fusion and color perception (page 3) will be
fall out benefits and it may turn out that they are of
greater importance than the main objective. The main
objective however is to obtain a screen without the
resolution limitations and directional problems of the
dispersi
