DepthCube Z1024 is a 3D display sold by LightSpace Technologies, an American company, in about 2004.

The original DepthCube technology was developed by Dimensional Media Associates.[1]

It uses a stack of liquid crystal shutters.[2] It has 20 liquid-crystal layers.[3]

The DepthCube 3D display is a solid-state multi-planar volumetric display system in which a DLP high speed projector projects slices of a 3D scene onto a stack of liquid crystal scattering shutters.[1] The scattering shutters are based on polymer stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT) material.[1]

It is a rear-projection based system.[1]

Initial research was funded by DARPA.[1]

It uses an FPGA.[1]

Construction[edit]

A prototype system used a 3-chip SVGA DLP video projector whose electronics were replaced with custom electronics that reduce the projector's bit depth to 5 bits per color while increasing its speed to 800 frames per second.[1]
