Light Secure, See-Through Display

Providing Marines with enhanced situational awareness through the real-time display of night vision imagery, thermal vision overlays, or waypoint and navigational cues, to name a few options, must not also compromise their position or force disorienting transitions in focal point or sudden changes in brightness. Producing a low SWaP full-color light-secure display with a large FOV that also transmits the majority of incoming ambient light can leverage emerging augmented reality technology geared at the commercial sector, but ultimately requires innovative elements to achieve the requisite metrics. Nanohmics proposes to develop a real-time transmissive display technology that provides high ambient light throughput and prevents light leakage, capable of day and night operation.
