3M's industry-leading Vikuiti (TM) Films are found inside LCD TVs, notebook computers, cell phones, PDAs and many other electronic devices. They improve the display's visual appearance by making it brighter, whiter, more colorful and sunlight readable. As a result, images are easier to see in different lighting conditions. Vikuiti films are widely used by key global display manufacturers. Look for the Vikuiti brand mark on electronic devices to know you will be getting superior display performance.

Liquavista has developed and patented an innovative electro-wetting technology for mobile device display screens. This technology has the same range and ability to show videos and full colour images as current LCD screens, while also addressing two main problems inherent in today’s displays: poor readability in bright lighting conditions and high power consumption that drains batteries quickly. Liquavista’s electro-wetting displays (EWDs) are reflective rather than transmissive and so offer the potential for clear viewing in all lighting conditions, from a dimly lit office environment to the bright light of a sunny day, while consuming a tenth of the power of similar sized LCD screens. The company’s first product platform – ColorMatch – offers world-beating brightness, with a reflective performance of more than 50% over an unlimited viewing angle. Products for which Liquavista’s EWD technology offers real improvements in visibility and power consumption range from watches, mobile phones and digital cameras to ATM screens and large flat panels.

SeeReal Technologies is 100% focused on developing 3D enabling display technologies exclusively aiming at licencing to display manufacturers.

The company holds a large number of patents and patent applications for current and future 3D display technologies.

SeeReal Technologies has a long history of successful developments in the field of auto-stereoscopic displays. Tracked and non-tracked displays of the C-series are known in the professional world of 3D visualization and last year SeeReal presented a world-class technology for simultaneous full-resolution 2D and 3D auto-stereoscopic display with freedom of movement for the viewer.

At SID 2007 SeeReal will present a new disruptive technology with the potential to revolutionize the market for computer displays and TV as well as other display types.

The new technology is based on holography, which, as is well known, is the only alternative to perfectly substituting natural viewing.

Although Holography was invented over 60 years ago, computer-generated real-time holography is still generally believed beyond the limits of feasible technologies due to a requirement for extreme-resolution displays and super-computing.

SeeReal Technologies has eliminated these historic limits and has developed solutions for real-time holography based on new, patented technologies and known components.

Licensing and partnering of SeeReal's 3D display technologies is managed by SeeReal Technologies S. A., Luxembourg. Development of the technologies takes place in Dresden, Germany.

Today more than 30 highly skilled and experienced employees of SeeReal are working in the fields of technology development and patenting.
