Sounds like it would be a perfect microdisplay -- simple, robust, and
almost impossible to throw out of alignment -- the slit produces the
sync pulse!
I think I could even build one of these -- at least the mechanical part.
The electronics, however, are beyond *my* abilities.
Rehmi, you mentioned a series of prototypes -- did they ever get
produced? Or at least the custom chips...that's the electronic part
of it anyway.
