Preliminary research on large-size optical polymer image transmitting fiber faceplate

Abstract

Preliminary research on large-size optical polymer image transmitting fiber faceplate is carried out by the stacking-heated fusing method with commercial low-loss optical PMMA fiber which is arranged in a home-made mold by hexagonal packing. A fiber faceplate sample with 2 mm in thickness, 500 μm in pixel diameter and 59052 in pixel number, is manufactured by cutting and stitching the preforms The fiber faceplate sample has a good image transmission capacity. The resulting large-size optical polymer fiber mosaic faceplate screen has the role that cannot be replaced for large-screen LCD protection and elimination of display seam.
