Best Auto-Stereoscopic 3D Systems for Small Displays
[The Hunt for Perfect 3D: Glasses Free Solutions for Handheld Electronics]
Art Lathrop
Marketing Manager
3M’s Optical Systems Division, New Components Group
3D captured the attention of the public and marketers in 2010, extending its reach outside the movie theater and into the home. While the hype of 3D has calmed somewhat, the drive to move from the big screen into the mobile space remains. With the promise of glasses free 3D, small displays promise consumers their first opportunity at an unencumbered, natural 3D experience.
During the presentation, Mr. Lathrop will reflect on the challenges and opportunities for achieving a glasses free 3D experience in handheld and requirements of handheld device manufacturers. In addition, he will provide an overview of 3M’s autostereoscopic glasses free film for handheld devices.

AMOLED vs. Hi-Res LCD for Premium Cell Phones
Candice H. Brown Elliott
CEO, Nouvoyance, Inc.
www.nouvoyance.com
Abstract:
Unprecedented high pixel densities appearing in TFT_LCD and AMOLED smart phones in 2011, and will appear in tablets and notebooks in 2012. A crucial enabling technology for high-resolution LCDs and AMOLED displays is Pentile subpixel rendering, but each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses. The two technologies will be explored and contrasted with conventional RGB Stripe to help product designers make informed display selections, and future capabilities and directions will be presented.

LCD 2.0: The Next Generation
Versatility of electro-wetting display technology
Johan Feenstra
CEO, Samsung LCD Netherlands R&D Center
Abstract:
The author coined the expression “LCD 2.0” to describe the class of emerging full-color, video-rate, and low power display technologies that may challenge not only electrophoretic displays for eReaders, but also LCD displays in tablets and other high-functionality devices. The main focus will be on the highly versatile electro-wetting technology, which is suitable for a wide variety of applications. Recent technical developments and current commercial status will be presented.
Bio:
Johan Feenstra received his PhD in Solid State Physics from the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in the Netherlands in 1997. After that he spend 1.5 years as a post-doc at the university of Maryland working on microwave microscopy. In 1999 he moved to the Philips Research Labs in Eindhoven, the Netherlands where he worked on electro-wetting technology and its applications. He is co-inventor of electro-wetting displays and in 2006 founded Liquavista. He was CTO of Liquavista and after the recent acquisition of Liquavista by Samsung, he became CEO of the Samsung LCD Netherlands R&D Center BV (SNRC).
Johan Feenstra is the author of more than 50 papers in internationally refereed journals, various book chapters and a large number of patents pending and granted.
Oxide TFTs
Both High-pixel-density TFTs and virtually all AMOLEDs require that their pixel switches be made from low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS). But the melting and recrystallization of amorphous silicon (a-Si) to make LTPS is a tricky process with uniformity issues, and it doesn’t scale readily to large substrates. Metallic oxide TFTs combine much of LTPS’s electron mobility with the uniformity and fabrication ease of a-Si. Most of the technical barriers have been overcome, but a couple remain. Sharp and LGD have promised forthcoming products with oxide backplanes, but some researchers think their promises are premature. The speaker will explore these issues.
