The classical theory of diffraction at plane apertures illuminated by normally incident light is modified so that diffraction on the source side of the screen is taken into consideration and the energy transport across the aperture plane is described by continuous functions. The PSD is a single element detector that converts incident light into continuous position data. Capable of flagging each individual pixel of up to 1000:1 of the total incident light before it hits the DMD's correspondent mirror, precise black to 50% grey shading and absolute blacks are obtained while not affecting the above 50% to 100% white areas of the image, providing a new dimensionality and wide grayscale image gradation never before achievable, with true-to-life contrast ratios from pure white to the deepest blacks, well in excess of 1,000,000:1. |
