Wavien, Inc. Demonstrates a Low Cost 3D LED Projector Using Proprietary ...

Wavien's low cost 3D projector combines the left and right polarized images from two TFT-LCD panels using a reflective polarizer, and projects the combined images onto a polarization-preserving screen through a single projection lens. The 3D image can then be viewed using low-cost polarizing eyeglasses. This system allows use of a "home-made" polarization-preserving screen, produced with off-the-shelf metallic spray paint, which further reduces the total cost of ownership. Wavien is working with manufacturers in . Performance, pricing, and delivery details for these new projectors are now available from Wavien.

"Our goal is to provide a low-cost, maintenance-free 3D projection system for home and classroom uses. Wavien's RLT technology utilizes a low-cost, street-lamp type of LED, and costs are reduced even further by using large area TFT-LCD panels to simply the light engine architecture. The two-polarization system permits the use of low-cost, passive polarization eyeglasses, instead of expensive LCD shutter glasses. A further innovation is to project the images onto a simple metallic spray painted screen, which is polarization preserving and has high gain," stated Dr.

"Olens Technology is excited to work with Wavien, a global leader in projection technology with the RLT technology," stated Mr. Meritt, who was featured in many media outlets including the cover story of Forbes Magazine. "We are very optimistic that Olens Technology will be able to introduce this 3D projector as a leading product into the market using Wavien's technology," added Mr. Meritt.

First, let’s understand why a fiber optic connector needs cleaning.

You may never need to clean the RJ45 connector for your computer’s Ethernet network connection, then why do you need to clean a fiber optic connector if it serves the same purpose as a networking connection?

While, the answer lies in how optics work differently than electronics. In electronics, as long as you have a contact between two connectors, they work perfectly; or at least most of the time.

But for optics, light beams travel in straight lines, they bounce off whenever they hit anything and thus loss their energy.

So in order for a light beam to carry the information signal and travel thousands of miles of optical fiber, its path must be kept crystal clear, including fiber optic connectors in the network.

What part of a fiber optic connector should be cleaned, exactly?

OK. Now comes the critical part. What part in the fiber connector needs cleaning, exactly? The short answer is the ferrule’s body and its end face. But what exactly is a ferrule?

Ferrule is a cylindrical and also the most critical part in an optical fiber connector. It is usually made from stainless steel or Zirconia.

Zirconia is a type of white colored ceramic which is an extremely refractory material. It offers chemical and corrosion inertness to temperatures well above the melting point of alumina. Zirconia is the preferred material for high quality fiber optic ferrules.

Ferrules have a tiny hole in the center which holds optical fiber in place. Then the fiber is scribed and precisely polished to flush with the end face of the ferrule.

Two fiber connectors can then mate to each other with a mating sleeve. When mated, two ferrules’ end faces contact each other perfectly and thus pass light from one fiber to another.

Ferrules get dirty from dust, stain and debris made by constant plugging and unplugging after having been used for a while. These contaminations will block the light path and thus seriously reduce the light power and may disable the network connection.

To get a better sense of how a fiber optic connector could be contaminated, look at this tutorial: http://www.fiberoptics4sale.com/Merchant2/fiber-optic-cleaning.
