Abstract

A rotating flat screen fully addressable volume display system incorporates a rotating flat screen upon which is projected a two-dimensional scanned image. The rotating screen serves to decode the image, creating a three-dimensional display of that image in a full cylindrical volume of space. A system of reflectors, rotating in unison with the screen, is positioned between the screen and the two-dimensional image generator to allow the two-dimensional image to strike the surface of the rotating screen at a constant angle throughout rotation. The display is capable of being presented in color and updatable in real time.
