SID's Sunday Short Courses offer a thorough introduction to topic fundamentals for students, scientists, and engineers looking to expand their technical breadth into a new area.
The four-hour Short Courses differ from SID's 20-minute Symposium talks and 90-minute Seminars, which generally focus on the latest developments in specific technical areas,
adding technical depth. By having these introductory courses at the start of Display Week, attendees can learn the fundamentals first, before absorbing advanced presentations on focused topics in the Seminars and Symposium.

S-1: Fundamentals of OLED Displays
|
|
The commercial production of OLED TV and flexible OLED devices began in 2014 with great excitement. LG Display announced that they will produce 600,000 OLED TVs using a white OLED and oxide-TFT backplane in 2015. Also, plastic OLED technology has been applied to Samsung's Galaxy Note 4-Edge and smart watches. Professor Chung will review the technical challenges of large-sized OLED TV and flexible OLED devices and will discuss the future opportunities of OLED technology. Professor Park will address the basic structure of OLEDs, their operational principles, fluorescent and phosphorescent materials, fabrication methods, evaluation technologies, top-emission technologies, tandem technologies, etc. In addition, the current technical status of OLED materials and devices will also be discussed.

S-2: Fundamentals of Organic Transistors for Flexible Displays and Electronics
|
|
This short course will firstly address the basic operation principle of organic transistors, including conventional field-effect transistors (FETs) and various types of vertical-channel transistors. Then, with an emphasis on solution-processed organic transistors, key issues such as the control of hysteresis, bias-stress reliability, carrier mobility, and grain growth will be investigated. Finally, recent progress on large-area solution processing will be introduced. .

S-3: Fundamentals and Applications of Oxide TFTs
|
|
Amorphous-oxide semiconductors (AOSs) have large electron mobilities > 10 cm2/(V-sec) and is employed for thin-film transistors (TFTs) in high-resolution LCDs and large-sized OLED displays. This lecture will first provide a review of the current applications of amorphous-oxide-semiconductor displays and other applications. This will be followed by a discussion on how to grow device-quality AOS films and TFTs in relation to the atomic structure, defect structure, and impurity issues, which can be controlled by the deposition and annealing conditions. More fundamental aspects, the origin of the large mobility, and the material design of amorphous- oxide semiconductors will also be discussed.

Color standards are used to specify the colors of paints, fabrics, dyes, pigments,
and colors captured and reproduced by cameras and displays and to gauge the quality of
artificial light. All standards used today are traceable to the CIE 1931 XYZ Standard Observer and the Photopic Luminosity Function that preceded it. This short course will provide the foundation for reproducing color on displays and for the Monday Seminar on Device Color Management.
