Light On Light Surfaceless Displays (#00002)

Idea has been scratched: The wave-particle duality of light, which was the basis for thinking that a sheet of light could serve as a projecting surface for an image, doesn't apply here. The "particle" property of light is really a misnomer - Einstein said that since light excites electrons to leave a metal's surface, light acts like miniature "particles". But really, this doesn't mean particles in the sense that they can reflect other light, etc. In short, physics just won't allow it. (Ash)

Selling points: Surface displays could prove to be a very valuable technology, especially for advertising space on the road, in shopping malls and many other places. This means that you can have a smaller footprint display technology that is mobile, high resolution, and inexpensive. The idea here is to use wave-particle duality of light so that a sheet of light can serve as surface for projection of an image. That is, we shine coordinated light waves in one direction (as a sheet), and since light displays both the properties of a light and a particle, the light from a projected image should hopefully bounce of the sheet as with typical projection displays.
