Electronic information displays touch nearly all
aspects of modern life. Display Week's 2012
Keynote addresses will provide a vision of how the
evolution of display technology will change the
shape of displays in the future.

"Recent Breakthroughs for Larger-Sized OLED Displays
and Their Application to OLED TV" |
| |
|
|
This year will mark the launch of
larger-sized OLED TVs. This talk will highlight
recent advances made in OLED technology and reveal
the manufacturing breakthrough that led to the
production of larger-sized OLED panels. Dr. Ahn will
also describe the core technologies behind this
breakthrough. Dr. Ahn led the development of the
mass production of the first 5-in. OLED TV in 2009.
In addition, he recently has been involved in the
commercialization of LG’s 55-in.
Full-High-Definition (FHD) OLED TV. |

"Display Transformation for Continuous Growth of the
Display Industry" |
| |
| |
|
Three waves of display evolution have
been responsible for the continuous growth of the
LCD market -- notebook PCs in 2001, monitors in
2005, and LCD TVs in 2008. However, during the past
few years, the display industry has become saturated
due to stagnation in market growth, low panel prices
as a result of oversupply, and stagnant investment
after Gen 8 production, even though new
applications, such as 3D, smart TVs, and tablets,
have entered the marketplace. This talk will
describe the next wave of display evolution --
Display Transformation – that will stimulate healthy
growth in the industry. Here, Display Transformation
means the multi-purpose use of displays, such as in
smart windows, smart e-Boards, and digital art
displays, that will deliver various online content
and services for the “Smart Society.” The talk will
also describe what types of future technologies will
be needed for this display transformation and the
prospects of the display industry of the future.
Finally, Samsung’s vision and strategy of the next
display world will be introduced. |

Ramash Raskar, Associate Professor of Media Arts and
Sciences, and Co-Director, Center for Future

"Computational Displays: New Optimization for
Interactive Lighting-Sensitive 3D Displays" |
| |
| |
|
Dr,
Raskar will focus on the development of novel
displays by the Camera Culture Group at the MIT
Media Lab that (1) respond to ambient illumination
(lighting-sensitive displays), (2) support intuitive
multi-touch and gestural interaction (interactive
displays), and eliminate the need for 3D glasses (automultiscopic
3D displays). At their core, these architectures
exploit both the design of optical elements (e.g.,
lenslet arrays and layered light-attenuating masks)
and the development of the associated light-field
encoding/decoding algorithms. Some of the novel
displays to be described include the High-Rank 3D
(HR3D) display, which contains a stacked pair of LCD
panels rather than heuristically defined parallax
barriers; the Bidirectional (BiDi) screen, an
example of a new type of I/O device that possesses
the ability to both capture images and display them;
and a 6D optical system, which responds to changes
in viewpoint as well as changes in back-lit
transmitted illumination.
