HP Lab Leia team works with RED to provide technical support for holographic smartphones

When RED first announced its Hydrogen smartphone, which sells for as much as $1,200, many people are curious as to how the "holographic display" on this device actually works. Now Jim Jannard, RED's executive director, revealed that they are working with a company named Leia to develop display screens (yes, just like Star Wars's Princess Leia). Leia was born in Hewlett-Packard and they claim to be "a leading supplier of mobile light field holographic display solutions." The key word "light field" here gives us an overview of how it works.

The light field display uses a multi-layer LCD to “direct backlight,” allowing the user to obtain two different views of the same object for each eye, resulting in a 3D effect. In fact, when you rotate the monitor, objects like buildings appear to be projected from the screen, as shown in the picture. This kind of effect shows a series of potentials of virtual reality and augmented reality. However, for external monitors, there are still some limitations in the perspective.

Leia said that they "use the latest breakthroughs in nanophotonics design and manufacturing to provide a complete light field 'holographic' display solution for mobile devices. The company pointed out that this technology can create the effect of a holographic image, "while maintaining the normal operation of the monitor." In other words, if you turn off "4D display", it will become the screen of a general smartphone. RED has not shown this technology to too many people, but the famous digital evaluation staff Marques Brownlee has already experienced and said that this left him a "very deep impression." He added that because there is a certain amount of light leakage and karting in the "4D game", the technology is not yet perfect.

In order to make content for the "holographic" screen in the form of .h4v files, Jenaud told Red users: "You can shoot with 4 cameras (we are building solutions from consumers to professionals) to generate .h4v (holographic 4D view); either by translating 3D to .h4v (very easy); or by first converting 2D to 3D (very difficult) and then converting to .h4v."

It is understood that RED has established a "strategic partnership" with Leia. The former has also invested in the unannounced amount of the latter. Jenner will join Leia's board of directors. In addition, this "holographic" smartphone will be available in the first half of 2018, and functional prototypes should be ready within the next few months.

Mercury Slip Ring

A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows electricity and data to pass through a rotating assembly. A mercury slip ring uses liquid mercury as the electrically conductive element inside the rotating assembly, as opposed to traditional carbon brushes. Mercury is a better conductor of electricity than carbon, and it also has a very low contact resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high-speed data transmission or where reliability is critical. Mercury slip rings are used in a variety of industries, including medical technology, aerospace, and defense.


Why do we choose a mercury slip ring?

A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows electrical current to pass between rotating objects. Slip rings are often used in applications where a cable or connector would otherwise twist and tangle as the object rotates. There are many different types of slip rings, but one of the most common is the mercury slip ring. Mercury slip rings offer several advantages over other types of slip rings, including high reliability, low maintenance, and long life. Here are three reasons why we choose a mercury slip ring:


1. Reliability: Mercury is an extremely reliable material, and mercury slip rings are among the most reliable types of slip rings available. Mercury has a very low failure rate, and it is not affected by changes in temperature or humidity. This makes mercury slip rings ideal for critical applications where reliability is essential.


2. Low Maintenance: Mercury slip rings require very little maintenance. Because mercury is a very inert substance, it does not corrode or generate any corrosive gases that would affect its reliability. Mercury slip rings do not require any lubrication, and they can operate in a wide range of temperatures and environments.


3. Economical Mercury slip rings have a lifetime cost advantage over other types of slip rings as well. Generally speaking, mercury slip rings are approximately 25% more expensive per kilowatt than other types of slip rings. However, because they require less maintenance and have a greater degree of reliability than other types of slip rings, they will save you money over the lifetime of your equipment.
