Forth Dimension Display is the world’s leading high resolution near to eye (NTE) microdisplay supplier.

We provide a range of microdisplay solutions optimized for the best performance in demanding NTE applications.

Our microdisplays are used by a global customer base to display video and visual information in:
> Training and simulation systems;
> HD Video camera viewfinders;
> Medical imaging systems and microscopes;
> Virtual reality and head mounted displays.

We supply the same microdisplays for specialist projection applications such as:
> 3D Optical Metrology/CMM;
> 3D and Holographic imaging systems.

As a full service solution provider, we do not just sell products. We offer customers access to Forth Dimension Display’s extensive microdisplay expertise by undertaking technical feasibility studies, design implementation and product realization. Forth Dimension Displays’ world leading products and technical services are backed by our ISO9001 approved microdisplay design and manufacturing site which includes a microdisplay fab and supporting assembly and test facilities.

Forth Dimension Displays’ microdisplay product contains our proprietary, high speed, liquid crystal on silicon Time Domain Imaging (TDITM) technology. Our fast, all digital, software configured, technology delivers high quality, full colour, images on a single high resolution microdisplay.

To provide the best solutions to our customers, we manufacture and supply:
> Chipsets (microdisplay and ASIC) for use in high volume applications;
> Development kits (fully functional, plug and play system) for use in development and low to medium volume applications.

Forth Dimension Displays’ is a privately owned company focused on organic growth in the markets that benefit the most from our (TDITM) technology. We are based in Dalgety Bay, Fife, Scotland and were formed in September 2004 (as CRLO Displays Ltd).
