Hi fellow hobby freeks.
I need to make an LCD cube with 100x100x100 LCDS' and I know that a KEIL CX51 is the best processor for the project.
BUT how can I wire the LCDS' to the processor.
A 3D cube with internal displays would require each LCD panel to be mostly transparent (stacking them 100 layers deep would not be meaningful if it isn't possible to see at least 50 layers deep, but it would be better if you could see through the full 100-layer stack.
An easier way of getting a 3D display would be to have a rotating screen that you draw on with a laser beam. The beam would then be able to write a dot at any X,Y,Z by a two-dimensional deflection of the laser beam and adjusting the time until the screen surface is at the intended Z.
"... a rotating screen that you draw on with a laser beam..."
And done with an KEIL CX51, because as we all know:
"...a KEIL CX51 is the best processor for the project."
"...a KEIL CX51 is the best processor for the project." You know I feel silly for suggesting an FPGA to handle all this, it's so obvious an C51 should do it! Ok now I feel better, maybe one can make a 3d terminal instead? I'm still baffled by the number of segments, 100 is such a difficult number with systems. 64 or 128 would be much simpler.
Ahh well it's not about practical or simple, it's about COOL looking.
With 2 million LED's a 128x128x128 system might be a trite big (let us say 8x8x8 mm per pixel) so the display would be about 1mx1mx1m . Then comes power, .1W per pixel, with one plane active at any time. 1.64kw is quite a bit of juice. Then comes heat ... the whole thing might be a bit impractical with a normal budget.
Ahh well enough speculation for one day ;)
Hopefully the original troll has had there fun.
