24_163	In 1998, Wes Anderson '87 directed the loosely autobiographical Rushmore, based on a screenplay
24_164	co-written with Owen Wilson. In directing the film, Anderson based the fictitious Rushmore Academy
24_165	on St. John's. As reported in The Atlantic, "When Wes Anderson scouted locations for the all-boys
24_166	prep school..., he looked as far as the U.K. in search of the perfect location. It wasn't until he
24_167	saw some photos of St. John's, his own high school, that he realized the places he had been
24_168	imagining were the ones he knew from going to school there." Like protagonist Max Fischer,
24_169	Anderson as a child had staged numerous epic action plays, with titles like The Five Maseratis and
24_170	The Battle of the Alamo. Seen in Rushmore are the North Campus's Quadrangle and circle driveway,

25_0	Forth Dimension Displays (ForthDD) is a British optoelectronics company based in Dalgety Bay, Fife,
25_1	United Kingdom.
25_2	Company overview
25_3	Founded in 1998 as Micropix and known later as CRL Opto and CRLO Displays, ForthDD makes high
25_4	resolution microdisplays and spatial light modulators (SLM). The microdisplays are used in
25_5	near-to-eye (NTE) applications for the military training and simulation, medical imagery, virtual
25_6	reality and high definition image processing industries. The SLMs are used for structured light
25_7	projection in 3D optical metrology and 3D super resolution microscopy. Headquartered in Dalgety
25_8	Bay, Scotland, ForthDD also operates sales offices in the United States, Germany and Japan, and a
25_9	customer support office in Germany. Previously funded by venture capitalists, in January 2011
25_10	ForthDD was acquired by Kopin Corporation, a NASDAQ listed company based in Taunton, Massachusetts,
25_11	USA.
25_12	Technology
25_13	ForthDD's microdisplays and SLMs are based on a proprietary, high-speed, ferroelectric liquid
25_14	crystal on silicon (LCOS) platform, protected by a number of patents. For the generation of colour
25_15	and greyscale, ForthDD's microdisplays use a process called Time Domain Imaging (TDI™). This
25_16	process involves rendering the red, green and blue colour components which make up an image
25_17	sequentially over time at high speed. This happens so fast that the human visual system integrates
25_18	the components into a single, full colour image. This enables the microdisplays to use the same
25_19	pixel mirror for all three colour components, and avoids the artifacts associated with sub-pixels.
25_20	LCOS Technology History
25_21	The first LCOS device originated in 1973, followed by a development of a liquid-crystal light valve
25_22	ten years later. It was not until 1993, that a microdisplay with a resolution sufficient for use as
25_23	a display was reported by DisplayTech (now Citizen Finedevices). It was capable of full
25_24	red–green–blue image generation, enabled by the use of a fast-switching ferroelectric liquid
25_25	crystal.
25_26	During the early part of the 21st century, many microdisplay manufacturers focused on applying the
25_27	technology to rear-projection-based high-definition television (HDTV) systems. However, due to
25_28	developments in the manufacturing process of large-panel Liquid Crystal Display Televisions (LCD
25_29	TVs) and resulting drops in the cost of components, LCD based TVs matured into the more popular
25_30	consumer choice. By late 2007 almost all microdisplay Rear Projection Television (RPTV)
25_31	manufacturers had withdrawn their TVs from production.
25_32	As a result, a number of microdisplay manufacturers either disappeared completely or started
25_33	working on other technologies. Some companies diversified, whilst others concentrated on a niche
25_34	market instead.
25_35	Products
25_36	ForthDD is a supplier of microdisplays for Near-To-Eye (NTE) applications and spatial light
25_37	modulators for fringe projection systems.
25_38	ForthDD supplies full colour, all digital QXGA (2048 × 1536), SXGA (1280 × 1024) and WXGA (1280 ×
