SiliconCore Emissive Image Surface for Flight Simulators
Related Solicitation
Abstract
The goal of SiliconCore's technical effort is to develop an emissive image surface (EIS) for flight simulator wide-angle collimated display applications that significantly increases the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) contrast performance with an objective to support night vision goggles (NVG) stimulation. SiliconCore Technology is uniquely positioned with its various proven technologies, to simultaneously improve performance in a variety of areas including resolution, frame rate, and near infrared integration. SiliconCore will collaborate with subcontractor, Vice Chief, LLC, an expert display engineer, on this project. SiliconCore's main technical effort is to create a large-scale (5.5' radius) curved emissive image surface (EIS) based on direct view LEDs. Direct view LEDs have the potential to unlock new levels of visual performance in collimated displays. SiliconCore can create custom LED packages containing both near infrared (NIR) LED and RGB LEDs while also driving them on a separate image generator channel. The key display performance parameters can be improved by a carefully designed, large EIS. SiliconCore has thoroughly reviewed the specifications set forth by the Navy in the solicitation and responded to each point mentioned. SiliconCore recognizes that the main challenges include development of an emissive image surface, high-contrast and high-luminance display, with large vertical FOV, NVG stimulation, calibration, maintenance, and use with motion platforms. The challenges specific to SiliconCore's direct view LED technologies include compound curved PCBs and RGB+NIR integration. SiliconCore addresses each point with a plan to overcome these challenges in the Phase I award period. The expected outcome of this Phase I award is a scaled-down prototype and an identified end-user and stakeholder for a Phase II award and Phase III commercialization.
Research Objective
The goal of phase I is to establish the technical merit, feasibility, and commercial potential of proposed R&D efforts and determine the quality of performance of the small business awardee organization.
