Power Guzzler :
Virtual retinal displays properly convert electrical energy into light energy more efficiently than its counter-parts, such as back-lit FPD's and CRT's ( bulky casing monitors, not the "flat panel" monitors we are used to seeing these days ...) The reason for this being that these two types of monitors draw incredible amounts of power which results in lower brightness levels. VRD technology differs on that basis that they generate light onto the human retina, making it possible to generate images with little or minimal power requirements.
A cheaper alternative:
Virtual retinal displays prove to be a cheaper alternative than other display sources. The reason for this being that the current flat panel displays are costly to design and produce. The materials needed in order to make a functional monitor are way more expensive than those needed in order to produce a virtual retinal display. The easy design of the VRD consists of smaller subsystems. When looking at the production aspect of a VRD, no specialized manufacturing equipment is required. VRD's can be mass produced at lower costs.
A Brighter Picture:
The average monitor cannot put out enough light energy and, as a result, are used only in controlled lighting environments. For example, we would not be able to face a monitor directly against beams of sunlight given that this would cause or create glare. VRD's once again come out victorious in this situation. In a see-through mode, the VRD can be controlled in order to allow the end user to see according to the level of brightness they are subject to.
Corporations will thrive using this newly founded technology. As Swatijaininst.com mentions in their paper some in deph advantages can vary from:
1. Small exit pupil which gives large depth of focus.
2. Beam size which minimizes optical aberrations at cornea .
3. Laser light penetrates mild to moderate media opacities with minimal scattering .
4. High luminance and high color contrast .
5. Collimation and coherence of the light.
6. Decreased flicker sensitivity.
7. No perceptual laser speckle.
A higher resolution:
Virtual retinal displays produce very high resolution images. The resolution associated with VRD's are limited only by defraction of optical aberrations in the light source and not by pixels. CRT's work with pixels , in the sense that small pixels or individual pixels make up a bigger picture using a large array of pixels. VRD's do not.
Contrast ratio:
A VRD's brightness can be augmented to high levels or lowered to lower, more minmal levels. The results that come from this is called a contrast ratio, because it is inherently high and far larger than standard flat panel displays or CRT monitors.
Color range:
Virtual retinal display technology gives out highly saturated and purely colored images. VRD's can produce a wide range of possible colors, far superior to any other electronic display.
Scalability:
VRD's are able to improve performance faster and with lower R&D than competing technologies.
Range of Application-
Since Virtual retinal displays deliver a general-purpose solution without any tradeoffs or opportunity costs, it can potentially gain greater economies of scale in order to bring costs down and increase its marginal utility rate with its end users than other technologies.
VRD's are better than anything ever created and will give you the best and clearest picture. There is no margin of error when this image is implanted on ones eye because it is visible despite a lack of concentration. Your brain will immediately be drawn to this picture and does not need attention. As mentioned previously, many organizations will benifit and can use it to their advantage. Police can use this for more realistic training and simulation and can this can head towards a more reputable performance. Hockey players can use this to simulate certain situations on the ice and the coach can use this on his players to recreate particuliar situations that occured during the game. Last but not least, news anchors can use this instead of telepromters for an easier read and less prone to error. Even the president of the U.S can read a VRD while making his speeches ie.George Bush! :)
