From: Harry Fearnhamm Subject: `Improved' quality of small LCD displays. Date: Tue, 4 Jun 91 09:44:09 BST There was a feature on `Tomorrow's World' (UK) last week about a special plastic that can be used to improve the quality of small LCD displays; it consists of thousands on tiny lenses that defocus the image on a small scale, so that the overall picture remains intact - just the localised graininess is removed. They demonstrated it, and it did have a significant effect. As always, they gave no information on how to get it; I can try to find out if noone out there already knows. -- Harry Fearnhamm, ,---.'\ EMAIL: loki@harlqn.co.uk Harlequin Ltd, (, /@ )/ ...!ukc!cam-cl!harlqn!loki Barrington Hall, /( _/ ') VOX: +44 (0)223 872522 Barrington, \,`---' FAX: +44 (0)223 872519 Cambridgeshire, DISCLAIMER: Nothing is True.

[MODERATOR'S NOTE: I've heard it referred to as a "laminate diffuser" or words to that effect, which essentially means a plastic layer on the LCD which blurs the image so that the pixels are less individuated. I believe John Waldern uses this method with the W Industries arcade system. -- Bob Jacobson]
