"The emission time of the laser pulse light is on the order of a nano-second (10-9 sec). Our device uses 1 pulse for each dot to that the human eye can recognize plasma emission by utilizing the after-image effect, and enables a 100 dot/sec display."

Still not quite ready for prime time. 100 dots/sec isn't enough to make a display, but rather, a skeletal dot array.
