29.1: On the Display Technology Trends Resulting from Rapid Industrial Development

Abstract

With the massive investment of display industry in recent years, and advancement of the display technologies, the displays have entered our daily life extensively and this will become even more important in the future. The status of major technology trends for TV, mobile phone and flexible AMOLED, that are associated to current display industry are discussed. In order to enhance the user experience, the form‐factor, viewing area and quality of the display have been the common drivers behind different display applications. With the maturity of the technology and supply chain, the emissive display technology, e.g. AMOLED, has grown in market share and become more important in future displays. Innovation of QD and backlight technologies have closed the performance gap between LCD and AMOLED TV. In the mobile space, the trend of display with increased active areas and the rapidly increasing adoption of the flexible AMOLED have become the major trends and have sped up intensive development associated to these directions.

Study on the Effect of Gaze Position and Image Brightness on Peripheral Dimming Technique

“…In particular, displays are remarkably used for mobile devices. Although long battery life is an important issue for mobile devices [1], unfortunately, the display is one of the most power-consuming parts [2,3].…”

Using Amorphous Silicon Gap-Type Thin Film Transistor as Ambient Light Sensors and Proximity Sensors for Smartphones

“…With fixed body size, everyone likes the display area to be maximum. Thus, pursing high screen-to-body ratio is a clear trend [1]. Some necessary functions of smartphones must be implemented on the front side of the smartphone by some discrete components, which can occupy the upper and lower parts, as shown in Fig.…”

“…In the modern phones, these functions are collectively put in the upper part area called notch, which makes irregular shaped display, as shown in Fig. 2 [1]. The notch area is not so welcome by users and the driving force to hide the components away continues.…”
