发明名称 Fiber optic display with direct driven optical fibers
摘要 An image transfer system includes a display (10), which has associated therewith a plurality of pixels formed by optical fiber ends (12) which provide the terminating end of a plurality of optical fibers disposed in a fiber optic bundle (14). The opposite end of the optical fibers in the fiber optic bundle (14) are disposed on a display module (16), which is operable to generate a transferred image through the fiber optic bundle (14). Each of the optical fibers associated with the display module (16) have associated therewith a light emitting diode (LED) (20). Each of the LEDs (20) are operable to directly drive each of the associated optical fibers. The LEDs (20) are arranged in a display array (30) and are controlled to generate information associated with a given pixel. The optical fiber ends (12) are fabricated with a tapered configuration such that the end of each of the associated optical fibers tapers from a narrow dimension to a wider diameter, this being a linear taper on the end thereof. This provides an expansion of the optical fiber along its length.
