Table 1. Main characteristics of the telescopic pixel display.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Backlight transmission efficiency | The experimentally demonstrated high fill factor (78%) multiplied by the single pixel transmission efficiency (61%  0.75 = 45%) yields an improvement in the backlight transmission efficiency—36% compared with 10% for the LCD. It can be further increased to 56% with design and fabrication optimization. |
| Contrast | Finite-difference time-domain simulations show that a contrast of at least 800:1 is possible. It will require further optimization of the design parameters and the fabrication process. The current prototype has an experimentally measured contrast ratio of 20:1 due to non-collimated backlight. This is a limitation of the prototype but not of the technology, which is justified by the simulations. |
| Resolution (pixel size) | 100- m-diameter pixels have been demonstrated experimentally. |
| Response time | The response time was experimentally measured to be less than 1.5 ms. The rise time was measured at 0.625 ms and fall time at 0.61 ms. |
| Colour gamut | Three LEDs can be used as a backlight that can provide high-quality colour performance (this is not demonstrated in the current prototype). |
| Fabrication cost | The fabrication process is compatible with existing LCD production lines and may involve significantly fewer fabrication steps and lower cost materials, which may decrease the overall fabrication cost. |
