Title: Maximilan Ott: Innovator in Optical Luminescent Display Technology
Introduction
Maximilan Ott is a notable inventor based in Pennington, NJ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of optical display technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on innovative methods to enhance visual displays using luminescent materials.
Latest Patents
One of Maximilan Ott's latest patents is an optical luminescent display device. This invention utilizes a luminescent material, such as phosphor, which is energized by radiation propagated from the side of an optical fiber. This process causes the luminescent material to emit visible light. The invention also includes a coincidentally-excited type of luminescent material that requires the absorption of two wavelengths of radiation to emit visible light. In this case, two side-emitting optical fibers are employed, with each fiber providing one of the necessary radiation wavelengths. One embodiment of this invention features a matrix of optical fibers that form an optical display panel made with coincidentally-excited phosphors. The design allows for the simultaneous stimulation of a phosphor pixel located between the two fibers, enabling individual matrix addressing of each pixel. The optical display panel is constructed solely from optical components. Another embodiment involves an optical switch that utilizes coincidentally-excited luminescent material, where one radiation is supplied by a side-emitting optical fiber and a second radiation is provided by a laser diode to activate the switch.
