3D Printed Color Nipkow Display
Переглядів 162 тис.2 роки тому
This video is about my 3D-printed Color Nipkow Display project. The Nipkow disk was used in early television systems and can mechanically scan or create an image. The disk contains several holes on a spiral which will form in my case 32 lines. At any given moment in time, only one hole passes the LED which changes it's brightness and color to create separate pixels on the lines. I wanted to cre...

    I just wonder, if you made a really large disc, and you put like many holes in it, would you then be able to reach 500 lines, for instance?

    • @makermac70
      @makermac70 День тому

      The problem with this is that you can't make the disk as big as you want it to be without running into significant mechanical difficulties. Increasing the resolution automatically increases the disk diameter, because you cannot make the holes as small as you want. But the speed at the outer edge of the disk at 1m is already almost 100 m/s at 30 revolutions per second! So this quickly becomes very challenging for the material and the motor.

    Pepper's Ghost always impresses. Here's an idea for tuning your sensors: Light up a box and record the sensor data as you repeatedly "push" it. Use that resulting data as your paramater range for that button/area, kind of turning that fine-tuning process inside out.

      Thanks for the recommendation, I hadn't heard of the Early Television Foundation. The museum is not exactly around the corner, but it would certainly be interesting to have a look. But I'm not sure if my setup is really interesting, though, since it's not an authentic replica of an old TV.

    Ever thought of making a barrel version of the nipkow disk, like instead of a plate what if you used a spinning barrel that covers over the whole assembly. I'm wondering if that would make a bigger screen based how wide the ring was and how fast it traveled

    • @makermac70
      @makermac70 17 днів тому

      Thanks for the suggestion. I had actually thought of this before and even built a prototype. However, the construction was quite bulky, so I discarded it. Balancing the drum also caused problems at high speeds. But the advantage is that there is less distortion in the image.

    can you use a lens on this to make a projector?

    • @makermac70
      @makermac70 Місяць тому

      The brightness of the Nipkow display is not sufficient. Usually only a few percent of the light from the LED can be used, the rest is simply absorbed by the disk. This is a fundamental problem and makes it virtually impossible to use as a projector.

  • @Ryan.Lohman
    @Ryan.Lohman Місяць тому

    I'm wondering if you could actually make a lenticular areal display similar to the Looking Glass Factory with this sort of technology. I'm just not sure if it would have the brightness for the material.

    • @makermac70
      @makermac70 Місяць тому

      Thanks for the idea. I also thought of it once and tried a simple lenticular picture some time ago to display it in the air. Unfortunately, the effect is barely visible in my case. The resolution is probably too poor and due to the limited viewing angle only a few partial images are recognizable, which then do not allow the 3D effect to be recognized enough. This is a real pity, because I had hoped to be able to use the aerial image as a 3D display.

  • @captheobbyist6434
    @captheobbyist6434 2 місяці тому

    this is so cool. if you add more sensors, you can make a full range of input. im wondering, why is the light not projected onto the ceiling? light will keep on traveling until it meets a certain point, does the beam splitter slow down the photons so they stop at a certain point? or is it intersecting light particles? i dont really get how this works, if the beam splitter just splits the light in half... if it does split it in half, then why doesnt it appear on the wall next to it? the second question i have, can this be made more compact? if it's basically a light stopping at a certain point, can you make a tiny display and then make it appear larger with a lens? sort of like AR glasses where you can interact with it but instead it's physical if this can be made as compact as those new glasses (im talking about apple vision pro or glasses from meta), and the input will be reliably enough, it can be used commercially!

    • @makermac70
      @makermac70 2 місяці тому

      Thank you for your questions. The reason why there is no image on the wall is because it is not a projection principle. Rather, the impression of an image in space is created by the convergence of light rays. To understand this better, you might imagine that a real display would emit the same light rays at exactly this point. To make the application more compact, there are already concepts with optical elements that combine the beam splitter and the retroreflector. The design becomes much more compact, but still a box, and not really minimal.

    Would there be a way to use some form of lenticular material to create a kind of 3D version? I feel like it should be possible but not sure how you’d specifically go about it. Perhaps even just using a 3DS-type lenticular display would do the trick.

    0:32 you rly need to adjust your compressor. it is not pleasant having the background music ramping up to full volume and back down over the course of a 200ms pause. you need much less compression overall (lower ratio, higher threshold), and much slower release. if your software provides a lookahead compressor you could do use that to soften the attack as well. It's in the name, background music, it doesn't need to take every possible opportunity to occupy the foreground. some amount of compression could be nice for listenability, but the only time you want the background music to get really noticeably louder if you're not talking for maybe 10 sec or so at a minimum. and at that duration you just manually ramp the gain.

  • @kenjinks5465
    @kenjinks5465 3 місяці тому

    I have a theory: If you moved the real screen back and forth and had a sensor telling the CPU where the monitor was, you could create a cross section of a 3D object on the screen to match the position. Then with persistence of vision, the floating image would appear 3D. (going about moving the screen precisely is too much work, you got to just measure where the monitor is and update the image)
