A PCD is a proximity focused diode intensifier, the photocathode of which is close coupled to a monochrome flat panel display. The intensifier is modified to function as a color converter as well as an intensifier. A PCD offers the following advantages over current display technologies:1) High Luminance: 300 cd/m 22) High Efficiency: 30 lm/watt 3) Long Life: >3 years, 4) High Contrast Ratio: 400:1, 5) High Resolution: 50 lp/mm, 6) Color: CRT Quality, 7) Low Cost to Manufacture, 8) Low Weight, 9) Can Manufacture Small, Medium, and Large Area, Displays.
