Like the idea of science-fiction movie: office worker does not need to look at the traditional screen because computer-generated image is sent to him directly to the retina. Perhaps in the future we will need a huge monitor for viewing materials in large format. In addition, technology that provides full protection of privacy may be used, for example, on the road.

Japanese company Brother, known in Europe primarily as a supplier of printers and multifunction devices, decided to realize this idea and presented a display type of Retinal Image Display (RID), which emits almost directly to the image of the retina - reported in the online edition of the magazine 'Technology Review'.
Although non-direct approaches based on the projection of images on the retina have long existed, the Brother is the first company has managed to construct a reliable device that supports full color and small enough that they could be comfortable to wear. Japanese people here use laser diodes that create the image based on three primary colors: red, green and blue. Applied Solid State Technology here has been miniaturized by the corporation to the extent that the entire RID is twenty times smaller than earlier prototypes. The image is directed to the retina via micro-electromechanical mirrors, and the size is about 16-inch monitor widzianemu from a distance of one meter.
