The 2010 Taiwan Display Conference on April 29th Invited Prof. Shin-Tson Wu of University of Central Florida
Tainan, Taiwan, April 29th, 2010
The 2010 Taiwan Display Conference (TDC), organized by SID Taipei Chapter, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) and Chimei Innolux Corporation, began on April 29th in Electrical Engineering Building, Tzu‐Chiang Campus, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, and attracted more than 400 participants.
On behalf of NCKU President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai, Prof. Andy Y. G. Fuh, the Chairman of 2010 Taiwan Display Conference and Dean of College of Science, expressed his sincere gratitude towards national and international scholars and industrial personnel who have come to attend the conference.
“As the Chairman of the program and the organizing committee, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organization and individuals who have contributed to this conference. Without you, the conference will not be a success. Display panel is one of the key industries in Taiwan. Through the Taiwan Display Conference, we can work together to promote our national capability in flat panel display,” said Prof. Andy Y. G. Fuh.
Dr. Shin-Tson Wu, an expert in the field of optoelectronic display and a professor from University of Central Florida, USA, revealed, “After decades of active research and development, the film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) industry has taken off. LCDs have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Their wide-spread applications include cell phones, video games, notebook computers, desktop monitors, large-screen televisions and data projectors. The most critical issue of viewing angle has been solved to an acceptable level using multidomain structures and optical film compensation. The second critical shortcoming, response time, has improved to less than 5ms through low-viscosity LC material development, overdrive and undershoot voltage methodology and thin-cell-gap approach.”
Prof. Shin-Tson Wu further explained, “The next promising advancement of TFT-LCD is blue-phase liquid crystal (BPLC) displays. In comparison to the conventional LCDs, BPLC has advantages such as faster response speed and wider angle of view. The manufacturing process simplified and the production cost is lowered. The grey-to-grey response time is in the submillisecond range, minimizing the motion picture image blurs. Under the same display brightness, the elimination of color filters helps enhance optical efficiency and device resolution density by 3 times and reduce the production cost.”
Prof. Fuh emphasized, “Prior to the widespread applications of blue-phase liquid crystal, some technical challenges remain to be overcome. The on-state voltage is too high, the transmittance is relatively low and the hysteresis needs to be suppressed. However, in the near future, by elevating materials with a large Kerr constant and device configuration with horizontal electric fields, the operating voltage can be lowered. Samsung has already done prototypes to validate the theories and it plans for mass production in 2011.”
The 2010 Taiwan Display Conference has invited 20 experts from the related fields of display technology to give lectures and share the latest activity of display technology research and industry. It has also collected paper publications on organic light-emitting diode (OLED), polymer light-emitting diode (PLED), thin-film transistor (TFT), emissive display, backlight, liquid crystal display (LCD), flexible display, 3D display, projection display, etc.
The purpose of the 2010 Taiwan Display Conference is to provide an exchange on the research achievements of the theories, techniques, processes, designs, components, materials and equipments in display technology industry, academia and research, cultivate international talents, promote mutual visits, elevate the capability of national research and development, establish research cooperation platform, encourage the development of national display technology industry and meet the international standards.
