 So we're here at the display week 2023. Please introduce yourself. Steve Nivesen from Real Fiction. We are presenting here today. It's my colleague Richard from our Taipei office. Directional pixels for 3D without any optics. So what we can achieve here is you can observe different images from different directions. This can be used to create 3D images without having to wear glasses. And we eliminate the optics which make it potentially a much simpler mass production method. And also we eliminate some of the restrictions that you normally have in optics like color aberrations and limited viewing angle and limited angular resolution. So we do it all in electronics. We have here a micro LED in the back. If you lift the camera a little bit up you can see there's a micro LED behind this. This is just a very simple small proof of concept with a monochrome small micro LED display. In front of that we have a special ferroelectric liquid crystal modulator, a light modulator. And they are multiplexed, time multiplexed together in a scheme that makes pixels look different from different directions. And here we have created 10 different directions and you see different letters from each of the 10 different directions. Is it for holograms? It is holographic experiences. Basically it's an autostereoscopic system intended for being connected to an eye tracking system. So you can have a full 3D holographic experience. How is it compared with what people are talking with the light fields? Yeah, it's basically the same experience. You move around and you get different perspectives. In this prototype demonstration you don't get perspectives, you get different letters. But in the next coming versions we will have different perspectives of images. When you move around you see objects from different angles. When I see the light fields people talk about, it's kind of like, for example, dividing the display resolution by the number of views. Yes, we don't do that here. We conserve the resolution of the display. We put a light modulator in front and then we time multiplex between in this case 10 different letters. So we are showing 10 different letters time multiplexed very fast. It's operating very fast. We have a response time of the liquid crystals set up below 50 microseconds. So these are special liquid crystals with very, very fast response times. How much is 50 microseconds? Is that 200 frames per second? 50 microseconds is 20,000. 2000? Is it 200,000? This is 20,000. But it's very high refresh rate. It's absolutely very high refresh rate. The highest in the world. It is. And this way we're not doing spatial multiplexing but time multiplexing. And because we're not doing spatial multiplexing we're not losing resolution. So this is a big challenge with... Can you make this for AK? Can you make it for a big display? Yeah, our plan is to make an 85 inch 4K display. We're working on... Every angle has a full 4K resolution. Yes, we're working on that. Nobody else does this, right? Only the real fiction. It's like putting the fiction into real life. Is that your idea? That's the idea. How old is the company? The company itself is maybe 10 plus years, a little 11. The real fiction lab is a spin-out of real fiction. And we are 4 years old now. We are dedicated to developing this technology. Is this the future? How it's going to be? It's going to be... People are going to feel like they are there. Yes, this is different applications. One is 3D holographic experience. The other one is that you can watch different movies on the same display. That's another application of directional pixels. Do you want to introduce your colleague? This is Richard Ouyang from our senior development engineer at our Taipei office. Hi, I'm Richard. Just click here. No, just to have only one at the same time. So please introduce. What are you working on? Here, I'm responsible for all this directional pixel technology here. So here you can see we are using a time division here compared to other companies that are using lentic lens with space division. Here now we have no resolution loss here. So each image here that we are showing is for 130 Hz. So actually we are sending out 10 different images here at the same time. So that means we can reach 1300 Hz at this moment. And we will increase this. Maybe next step we will make 4HD or 4K or 8K resolution display that could be very nice for multiple users at the same time. How far are you from this one? I think... How much work do you need to do? Do you get it in a big... Yeah, tons of work. Because currently just we choose the technology that is using the time division here. So that means, yeah, we can make that really different and no limitation for whole agreement display, yeah. All right. Just as a little message for the people watching the live stream, it's going to come back. Maybe the signal is not so good in the US. All right, yeah. Yeah, and if I can grab the microphone. Yeah, so you're based in... Taiwan. Taiwan, yeah. So what is the role of the Swedish office or the Swedish... Are you all in Taiwan or... How would you say? Yeah. We are in Copenhagen in Taiwan. Copenhagen. Okay. Let me put it right here. Okay. Like that. Hi. Yes, hello. I'm Tom Muggles. I'm the CFO of Ref Fiction. I'm based in Denmark and Richard, that was just speaking, was based in Taiwan at our lab facilities there. Stain is based in Denmark as well. I work alongside with Stain on this project. And I heard one question was, when are you ready to present something like the display we have to the next, left to the right of our proof of concept. And basically, we are working on a model that will be presented later this year, a 17-inch LCD model. It's a slightly different technology than what we're seeing here, because this is proof of concept based on microLED and FLCs. The up and coming 17-inch display, which is, you could say somehow similar to this, but it's a 3D display, is coming out later this fall. And we're looking very much forward to presenting that at a public demonstration this fall. And you can switch at 50 microsecond too, in a bigger size? No. That one is based on a slightly different technology, so it's not going to be capable of the same number of viewers as the microLED version and FLC version is. However, it is going to be impressive for more than one user. So basically, several users can be able to see 3D, and you can also have dual view at the same time for different persons. So, yeah. What part of your technology goes into the holographic feeling? Because you want to have both eyes get something different. Is that what is happening? Yeah. All the angles, both eyes is getting two views. Two different ones. But the number of views that we can distribute using this technology that we're presenting today, the number of views that is much greater than the number of views we can do on the one that we come out with in the fall. However, the one we come out with in the fall does have multiple viewing for a couple of persons, but we are not able to create individual views as we are with this one. We can take the number of views on the LCD version up to at least two and also higher. But that's going to be the first display. So it's going to be much more, you can say, than what is out there today, because most displays out there are one user 3Ds. And the resolution has a loss because of the spatial situation there. Does it use a lot of power to refresh so quickly? No. Actually, it can set power if that just only... Sorry, I just need to power you on again. Let me hope. Yeah, because if you are just one user here that we could just send out only two images to your left and right eye, so that could be safe powers for the future. So I think that because that in current display you can see that there is sending out all the rooms. So that actually weighs some of the powers. Well, currently that based on the electronic technology that here we are using, that means only the light going through your eyes that is needed. It only works as micro LED? It could be micro LED, it could be OLED. Yeah, we have several technology... OLED can refresh so quickly also? Yeah, yeah, we can decide. We can decide that for our new back plan. So that's... What's the best? What's the best? Is it micro LED? The future? If the performance that I was in micro LED is current that I would suggest use or leave. Yeah. Maybe also has bright, high brightness? Peak brightness. Do you need big brightness for this technology? Peak brightness. But the average brightness that could be just operation of normal display here that because you can see that here we send out 10 different images here and we have scanning sequence here and so that... Yeah, that we need higher peak brightness but that could be operation of current technology. Right. Can you describe a little bit? So what happens in Sweden? What's happened in Denmark? And what's happened in Taiwan? Well, basically we have a... We're listed in a stock exchange in Sweden on 1st North in Stockholm and then we have our operational headquarter in Copenhagen, Denmark and that's where we have the majority of our employees working. Then a couple of years ago we started the company Rare Fiction Lab which is a subsidiary of the Swedish listed company and that company has recently started a... a branch office in Taiwan where Richard and James are working and we are working alongside one of our large shareholders, Amtran who is one of the investors in the... in the parent company in Sweden. So you can see we have our operational headquarter in Copenhagen and then we have our development lab both in Denmark and also in Taiwan. We work alongside with large institutional governmental facilities such as IMEG and Fraunhofer and we work alongside with other collaboration partners as well. So the front part and the back part is synchronized? Yes, correct. Is that how it works? It's synchronized at very high speed. How do you do that? Actually that is pretty simple. You just use some signals and clocks and you can just synchronize all these contents together and you just need the algorithm calculated in the correct way so that you can have the image just in the right position. You can see we are dividing all the images in 10 zones but it could be more. Alright. And previously I asked already like how far is the big one? Is there any way to speed this up if there is like big investment or something? Of course there is. If there is a big investment in creating a display based on this technology it will speed up the process and as I said we have a 17-inch ready which is based on an LCD technology which is capable of doing 3D for more persons so this fall we will be presenting something new. Alright, thanks a lot. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Wow. Check out the WISE. WISE is such a smart system. I think I'm saving over a thousand euros every year because I use it everywhere when I pay for stuff. You want to pay for stuff in the world so you can check out my longer video form where I explain some more why I think this is amazing and it's free. You can just sign up with my link down here and you can use it on your Android pay your Apple pay it's like a prepaid Visa debit card so you need to put a little bit of money on it and you can just put money on it from your local bank account and there's zero fees. The fees are so tiny. It's like 5-10 times cheaper than your bank. Don't use PayPal anymore. Don't use Western Union when you send money to a whole bunch of countries around the world. WISE is way faster and it's 5-10 times cheaper. So really check it out. It's cool and I appreciate if you use my link below. Thanks for watching.
