M-1: The State of the Flat-Panel Display Market: New Era, or Just a New Cycle?
by Paul Semenza
Director of Communications, NextFlex
Flexible Hybrid Electronics Manufacturing Institute
San Jose, CA, USA
|
|
Driven by growth in TV screen sizes and solid demand combined with changes in supply, flat-panel prices increased by record amounts in the second half of 2016, driving panel makers to levels of profitability they have not seen in years. But is this sustainable, or will the cyclicality of supply and demand swing the pendulum back? There are indications that panel makers will continue to make big investments in production, particularly around Gen 10+ LCD as well as OLED fabs. While a big increase in production may put pressure on weaker suppliers, the key to success remains making the right product selections. In addition, there is increasing adoption of in-house/group supply for TV brands, which will impact competition. In terms of technology, OLED has transitioned from an emerging display technology to the mainstream. The ability to achieve flexible form factors holds great promise, but additional factors need to be brought into place in order to achieve that promise.

M-4: Computational Near-Eye Displays with Focus Cues
by Gordon Wetzstein
Asst. Professor, Electrical Engineering Department
Asst. Professor (by courtesy), Computer Science Department
Stanford University, CA, USA
|

Immersive visual and experiential computing systems, i.e. virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), are entering the consumer market and have the potential to profoundly impact our society. Applications of these systems range from communication, entertainment, education, collaborative work, simulation and training to telesurgery, phobia treatment, and basic vision research. In every immersive experience, the primary interface between the user and the digital world is the near-eye display. Thus, developing near-eye display systems that provide a high-quality user experience is of the utmost importance. Many characteristics of near-eye displays that define the quality of an experience, such as resolution, refresh rate, contrast, and field of view, have been significantly improved over the last years. However, a significant source of visual discomfort prevails: the vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC). Further, natural focus cues are not supported by any existing near-eye display. In this seminar, we discuss frontiers of engineering next-generation opto-computational near-eye display systems to increase visual comfort and provide realistic and effective visual experiences.

M-8: Light-Field Imaging and Display Systems
Nikhil Balram
Head, Display R&D for AR/VR

Light fields provide a natural way of representing the information that is captured and processed by the human visual system. Light fields can be acquired using compact imaging systems, and the information can be used for a variety of applications including analysis, interpretation, and display. Light-field-display architectures enable true 3D displays that provide a natural and comfortable experience. In both imaging and display, the system design has to consider a complex set of tradeoffs. This seminar will provide an introduction to light fields, followed by an in-depth discussion of state-of-the-art light-field imaging and display systems, some interesting applications such as AR and VR, and the key tradeoffs that have to be considered during the design process.
