14 Up for grabs An interdisciplinary team of plastics specialists, physicists, chemists and materials analysts worked together to devise the precise formulation of the individual layers, their combination and joint effects, in a development cooperation arrangement between Microsoft and Evonik. At the end of this period, the tabletop was ready to face the digital future. "We redefined quality by working on Surface. We're talking about optical technologies fit for the next millennium, which can't be compared with anything we've done so far," says Dr. Alexander Laschitsch. Together with Frank Lerch, he is responsible for the project at Evonik Röhm GmbH. "Our company has had rear projection expertise for some time, and that helped us to handle this huge challenge, where all the components have to be adjusted to each other down to the last detail to provide the optimum result," Lerch adds. With a product like Surface, the feel is important. People have to feel that the screen is pleasant to touch, because it's the only way they communicate with the computer. "We produced ten models with different surface properties. A design team at Microsoft opted for the present material. Various factors play a role when judging the feel of the material, but the important criteria were surface toughness and hardness," Lerch explains. The surface material will be produced in Weiterstadt near Darmstadt, Germany, under clean-room conditions. Surface is to make its way into private households within about five years. Then everyone, with computer experience or not, can dip into the digital world and discover new realms of modern communication. ck
Dr. Alexander Laschitsch, Evonik Röhm GmbH 15 <strong>PLEXIGLAS</strong> ® the basis for this product, is the material best suited for meeting the stringent requirements of the projection screen, thanks to its excellent optical and physical properties. Together, these provide a stable, hard-wearing yet highly sensitive tabletop for the Surface TM . One crucial detail at the heart of Surface TM is a rear projection film specially developed for this application. It provides a clear picture and ensures the information is transmitted without errors. “We redefined quality by working on Surface. We are talking about optical technologies fit for the next millennium, which can‘t be compared with anything we‘ve done so far.“
