FED/SED Technology - Invited Presentation

SID is proud to present Professor Masayuki Nakamoto and his very learned discussion of the prospects for Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display (SED) Technology. This is a rare and exciting 'don't miss' opportunity as Professor Nakamoto is traveling from Japan and visiting the US for a very short time.

Abstract: Field emission displays (FEDs) including Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Displays (SEDs) have been showing tremendous progress and become attractive nanoelectronic technology for a new generation of flat panel displays. However, there are important limitations of their reliability and efficiency in FEDs and SEDs, mainly attributed to the emitters. In this paper, the recent progress and the technical issues on FEDs and SEDs are overviewed.

Biography: Masayuki Nakamoto was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1951. He received the B. S., M. S. from Yokohama National University, and Sc. D. degree from Tohoku University, respectively. He was a Visiting Professor at MIT (1986-1988), and a Symposium Chairman of the Electrochemical Society (1983-1988), where he was the 1st Japanese Chairman in the history of the Electrochemical Society. .He joined Toshiba Corporation in 1977 and has been a professor of Shizuoka University from 2004. Since joining Toshiba Corporation, he has been doing research on the rare-earth phosphors, the infrared sensors, which are commercialized and now widely used for high efficient tricolor fluorescent lamps and human body detecting sensors in the world respectively, the magneto-optical sensors, vacuum nanoelectronics, especially, FEDs and NEMS (Nano Electro Mechanical System). He is a member of the program committee and Chair of FED Sub-committee of the Society for Information Display, the Japan Society of Applied Physics, the Phosphor Society of Japan , the Ceramic Society of Japan, the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, the Illuminating Engineering Society of Japan, The Institute of Electronic, Information and Communication Engineers, and The Electrochemical Society of Japan.
