Fiber optic display systems and related methods

A method of producing a fiber optic display system, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of fiber optics each including a cladding, a core, an input end, and an output end;
• spacing the output ends of the fiber optics from one another and placing the output ends in predetermined positions such that at least a portion of the output ends are positioned in a first plane and another portion of the output ends are positioned in a second plane;
• providing a light-transmissive material containing the output ends and at least a portion of the cladding of the fiber optics, the light-transmissive material having an index of refraction that substantially matches the cladding of the fiber optics, the output ends of the fiber optics terminating within the light-transmissive material and being angled with respect to the light-transmissive material such that light transmitted within the fiber optics emits into the light-transmissive material;
• and
• providing a light source operable to generate a plurality of light beams and operable to selectively control input of the light beams into the input ends for transmission of light in the fiber optics such that an image is formed by the light being emitted from the output ends of the fiber optics.
