Special Topics for 2021

The Display Week 2021 Technical Symposium will place emphasis on four special topics of interest to address rapid growth in the following areas: Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality; Machine Learning for Displays; High-Dynamic-Range Displays; and IoT Displays. Submissions relating to these special topics in the field of information display are highly encouraged.

(1)  AUGMENTED REALITY, VIRTUAL REALITY, AND MIXED REALITY (AR/VR/MR)
This special topic covers the technologies and applications in the emerging areas of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). These sessions will bring together scientists, engineers, business professionals, market analysts, and industry leaders involved in AR, VR, and MR technologies, products, applications, advanced developments, and emerging trends. AR/VR/MR topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

(2)  MACHINE LEARNING FOR DISPLAYS
The evolution of new computing technologies and the availability of big data are boosting machine learning (ML) and deep learning in different fields. The special topic on ML covers the applications of machine learning in all aspects of display technologies and manufacturing. These sessions bring together display experts and ML experts to explore opportunities to solve challenging display problems with the right ML techniques.

(3)  NEW for 2021 HIGH-DYNAMIC-RANGE DISPLAYS
This special topic covers new materials and device technologies for high-dynamic-range (HDR) displays and applications. An HDR display requires high luminance (>1,000 nits), deep black level (<0.005 nits), and bit depth >10 bits. Both miniLED backlit LCDs and dual-cell LCDs, OLEDs and microLEDs can achieve HDR, but with their own challenges. HDR display topics include, but are not limited to, the following

•  MiniLED Backlit LCDs
•  Halo Reduction Techniques
•  Flexible MiniLEDs for Flexible LCDs and Emissive Displays

•  High Ambient Contrast Ratio

(4)  NEW for 2021 IoT DISPLAYS
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an increasingly important paradigm for creating a world of connected devices, with compelling use cases in domains including healthcare, logistics, energy control, and smart cities. In the IoT era, image displays including digital signage are evolving from unidirectional advertising tools to smart display/signage tools that provide bidirectional and interactive services. Smart signage, for example, collects user contexts from various sensors and wearable devices. The smart signage then changes contents on the screen according to the context information. Therefore, users can be served various personalized and targeted services. However, conventional signage systems have difficulty in connecting new sensing devices to the systems because there is no standard to connect signage systems and sensing devices. Moreover, conventional wireless communication systems for small wireless electronics devices suffer from low radiation efficiencies of miniaturized antennas implemented within less-than ideal real estate and locations (e.g., antennas are typically installed in a small bezel of the display device). Displays for IoT also need to have increased communication bandwidth in order to keep up with other media used for computing. Papers are sought to enable bidirectional image displays with topics including the following:

•  Energy-Efficient Invisible Antenna Integrated within a Display Panel
•  Energy-Efficient Miniaturized Antennas that Can Fit into the Small Bezel of a Display
•  Energy-Efficient Display Devices and Algorithms
•  Camera-Under-Display Technologies
•  Visible Light Communication Technologies Integrated on an Image Display Panel
•  Touch Technologies Compatible with On-Panel Antenna Structures
•  Gesture-Control Technologies
•  Presence Sensing
•  Face-Recognition Technologies
•  Sensor Technologies Integrated on an Image Display Panel
•  Edge-Computing Technologies Integrated on an Image Display Panel
•  Increased Bandwidth Technologies for IoT Displays

Abstract/Technical Summary Format and Paper Submission Requirements

General Note: The selection-rejection decision for a paper is based on its originality, quality, relevance, and completeness.

TWO OPTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION (Read carefully)
Two options are available for authors who wish to submit papers. Option 1 is designed to streamline the process and allows authors to submit an initial version of their paper in a format that is already appropriate for final submission, instead of submitting the traditional abstract/summary format. If their papers are selected, authors do not need to do anything further, but have the option of submitting a final revised paper, if they wish. Option 2 is the traditional process of submitting a 4-page Technical Summary for review, with the final paper being submitted later after notification of acceptance.

OPTION 1
Please follow the instructions and templates available on www.scomminc.com/pp/pcm/sid.htm to help in the preparation and submission of the 4-page technical paper. If your paper is selected, this submission will be used as the final Symposium Digest paper unless a revised version is submitted by March 15, 2021. Note that content-wise, the submission must contain the abstract and the information listed in the bullet points (1) – (7) below under Option 2.

OPTION 2
The instructions below outline the submission requirements and can be used instead of Option 1, above. If your paper is accepted, you will receive further instructions for filing your final submission by March 15, 2021. Below are the requirements for Option 2:

Page Headers: Please place the first author’s name and the title of the paper on the top of each page of the submission.

(6)  References: List a few main references covering projects in related areas. We are requesting that authors use the Vancouver citation style.

(7)  Prior Publications: Generally, Symposium papers must be original contributions. If your organization has published or presented material on similar work in English, please explain how the present material differs. The only exception to this rule is that papers submitted to the Emerging Applications subcommittee need not be original.

SUBMISSION PROCESS FOR BOTH OPTIONS
Once the abstract/technical summary is completed, all authors are required to upload it to

www.scomminc.com/pcm/sid/sid.cfm

Additional information must be provided on the online submission form. Authors must:
