This is the guts of the report without the pictures. Maybe some techno wiz can let us know how good this all is and what it may mean for the price of SYN in the future.

Panorama Labs has reached a landmark in its magneto-optic (MO) research program by declaring the successful testing of a small display prototype.
A representative 12x12 array, within a much larger MO-module was subjected to stringent testing at Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Perth Australia.
A number of operational parameters were monitored and recorded using two specific facilities. Firstly, a custom built photo receiver based high-speed testing station was employed to monitor individual pixel performance, as illustrated schematically in Figure 1.
To support the monitoring of test patterns, a polarising microscope was employed to visually observe the switching of individual and groups of pixels, as illustrated in Figure 2.
Of particular note was the very fast switching speed of the MO material, which was in the region of 15 nanoseconds. This figure is far superior to any competitive projection system (at least 1,000 times faster than DLP and 1,000,000 times faster than LCOS). We anticipate this exceptional switching speed will permit the development of anti-piracy features for Digital Cinema, improved color depth, no motion artefacts, virtual reality improvements, gaming goggles, 3D displays with applications into fast read/write holographic memory.
Best Switching Times:
• LCOS: 10 ms (~1,000,000x slower)
• Texas Instruments - DLP: 10 µs (~1000x slower)
• SONY - GLV: 20 µs (~1000x slower)
• Panorama Labs’ MPC-MOD: 16 ns
Power consumption for the light module has been drastically reduced. A comparison of the module power requirements using a DC supply demonstrates a power saving ratio up to 1,000,000 times.
Measurements of Faraday rotation and transmission in the red, green and blue were as expected. Improvements to these values will occur once Magneto Photonic Crystals (MPC) films are fabricated in the second generation prototypes.
In summary, a 12x12 array within a much larger MO module was subjected to stringent and closely controlled testing. The results obtained clearly demonstrate the validity of Panorama Lab’s technology for display and memory devices.
