Three points in the future of Yokohama optoelectronic display

According to the topology Research Institute (TRI) for the Japanese Yokohama Exhibition (FPD International) photoelectric observation pointed out that in 2008 the theme of the show "Displaying the Future" around the world, point out the future display will be omnipresent, and then change the human life style; on the other hand, the future of the panel industry towards the three main materials development, respectively environmental protection, interface humanization and real picture.

Affected by oil price and environmental issues, energy saving and carbon reduction issues in Yokohama last year has continued to spread from the photoelectric exhibition. In the most market attention LED, although LED is still high in the large-scale application of panel manufacturers in the price, but no mercury, small power consumption, thin degree under consideration, the panel back light NB and Monitor have begun to abandon the CCFL instead of LED, such as the 15 inch XGA panel LGD and Samsung (Samsung) the 12.1 inch WXGA panel. In addition, in order to reduce the amount of material used in the process, the panel industry also strive for breakthroughs in technology, such as the driver IC reduced, originally are required to use unilateral bilateral soft plate evolution, even the process also produced printing mode, reduce pollution.

The import of LED backlight panel color is more abundant, manufacturers in addition to the use of white LED, but also into the RGB LED display light source, to enhance the color saturation to 126%. The 16 inch display screen panel Samsung which uses RGB LED as the driving frequency; TV panel, has been increased from 120Hz to 240Hz, the picture of the objects displayed more clearly, the technology of Taiwan, Korea has launched a panel factory. In addition, including odd crystal Optoelectronics (CMEL), Samsung SDI, LG Display, TMD and other industries are displayed using AMOLED panel technology.

In addition, AUO, CMO (AUO) (CMO), Samsung, LG Display, CPT (CPT) and other manufacturers display 3D display technology. One of the more LG Display 42 inch panel to form a public billboard, with large size display its 3D display technology capabilities, and Chi Mei also did not fall, showing a 22 inch and 47 inch 3D display.

In order to make the future life more convenient, the display will not be limited in the founder of crust, topology research industry researcher Li Qiuwei pointed out that from the display technology can be seen in the future, special size or non regular display will be popular, and round or oval exhibition display also appears in succession, even can do surface. With the NEC manufacturers to design the most special heart-shaped display.

In the electronic paper technology gradually mature, with energy saving, and can display the characteristics of irregular too much market expectations, is currently widely used, such as watches, price tags, e-books, the future can also be made in the clothing, SHARP (Sharp) and exhibited a variety of paper products in the sub venue.

In outdoor billboards, to meet the outdoor billboards display in bright light, manufacturers have actively developed strong public panel visual and portable products using panel manufacturers use light source brightness adjustment or transflective display technology, because these two technologies are quite mature, we also further in the energy-saving direction, which is the light sensing component to determine the amount of ambient light to control the backlight brightness change.

Started the touch panel technology in iPhone, the touch panel is one of the research focus of each panel factory, and to not only from a single point touch the past to multi touch, more from the resistance, capacitor touch technology, optical sensors, gradually to the embedded type touch technology development, explore the reasons. Mainly due to the large touch panel trend to AUO as an example, the touch panel technology has up to 4.3 inches to 15 inches, including pressure, condenser, optical, and embedded to the panel, and the use of multi touch technology, and in addition to friends up outside, Samsung, Sharp, LG Display and other manufacturers also have related technical exhibition.
