Law, Total Internal Reflection (TIR)• Applications of TIR: fiber optics, retro-reflectors, guiding
film • Frustrated TIR – applications to “real” black and white
reflective display. Electronic paper?• New Developments in Solar Lighting Systems
based on Prism Light Guides will be presented by Alex Rosemann
• New concept of electronic display – High Dynamic Range Display from our Spin-off company Brightside Technologies - will be presented by Helge Seetzen

Snell’s Law:When light passes from the medium with
refraction index n1 into another with refraction index n2:
n1sin(θ1) = n2sin(θ2)

The critical angle for total internal reflection is
αc = sin -1(n1/n2) = 38.7°.
The angle of incidence, 45°, is larger than critical, thereforea total internal reflection occurs and the light is reflected atthe angle 45°. The same happens on the second face, so thelight is send back and leaves the film at 180° to the originaldirection.

The light comes from the medium with a smallerso there is no total internal reflection. Therefracted angle is
αr = sin -1(sin(45°)n1/n2) = 26.2°.
The incidence angle on the bottom surface is
45 - 26.2 = 18.8
which is less than critical angle so there in nototal internal reflection and we have an otherrefraction:
αr2 = sin -1(sin(18.8°)n2/n1) = 31°.

Overcoming the 8-bit Barrier
Requirements:1. High Dynamic Range
2. CompatibilityNew devices need to function in 8-bit environment and still deliver significant benefitNew devices need to be usable in stand-alone mode
3. CostIdeally no extra cost compared to 8-bit devicesIf extra cost is necessary then in line with benefit

Image Capture – 8-bit to 16-bit CCDs
Shutter is closed
Shutter opens and light hits the CCD.
CCD shifts charges under shadow-mask
More light hits the CCD (causing a second pattern)
Shutter closes (transfer to register and readout)
Compatibility• existing CCD• can output 8-bit image
(ignore second exposure)
Cost• firmware change only• zero incremental cost
