Progress in CRT display technology has been limited. Consequently, new technologies are being examined (e.g. solid state "flat-panel" displays) that might be applicable for a large scale, high resolution, multi-color software display. In this proposal, a "new" approach to very large screen display technology is suggested, based on the unique piezo electric properties of stretched polyvynlidene fluoride films. That objective of this Phase I program is to demonstrate that individual picture elements can be developed, yielding the necessary gray-scale range, to form the basis for large screen display and that these elements can also easily be modified to incorporate full-color display.
