Empowering display industry professionals with cutting-edge insights and analysis
In his thought leadership keynote, (OK, they are supposed to be thought leadership talks) Visionox CEO Dr. Deqiang Zhang took us down the path of the OLED golden era that will introduce display ubiquity to the world. We can’t really blame his views for being a bit one-sided as Zhang spent the last 22 years … Read more
By placing a first order and being the first corporation worldwide to invest in “The Wall Professional”, LANG substantiates the cooperation with Samsung. The Wall Professional is an indoor Micro LED product for professional use. The display’s self-emitting Micro LED pixel modules produce brilliant imagery in UHD resolution free of colour filters or backlighting. Two … Read more
Lang of Germany, a wholesale rental company (that rents equipment to AV installers) has placed what is believed to be the first order of Samsung’s The Wall Professional indoor Micro LED product for professional use. The display, available in sizes up to 146″, incorporates self-emitting Micro LED pixel modules and supports Ultra HD resolution, with … Read more
Asus’ sub-brand Republic of Gamers (ROG) recently hosted a press event at Computex 2018, unveiling a new line-up of gaming products, including the first ROG gaming smartphone. The ROG Phone features a GameCool 3D vapour-chamber cooling system and ultrasonic AirTrigger touch sensors, with side-mounted ports optimised for landscape-mode, a 6” AMOLED display with 1080 x … Read more
At InfoComm 2018, Valens, the developer of HDBaseT and co-founder of the HDBaseT Alliance, will be showcasing how the VA6000 HDBaseT integrated circuit, originally developed for the Automotive market, is benefitting the audiovisual sector, with its transmission of 1Gbps Ethernet, Audio, Serial Control, and USB over unshielded single twisted pair lightweight and lower cost cables … Read more
A hot topic at the SID Technical Symposium this year, and last year too, was Near Eye Displays (NEDs) for Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) that included accommodation for the eye. There are two circumstances that are said to need this accommodation. First, in stereoscopic AR or VR systems, they provide a solution … Read more
Multiple improvements in AR and VR HMDs are required before they can really become mainstream products for either the consumer or enterprise applications. Image quality issues that need to be fixed include brightness (especially for see-through AR displays), resolution (especially for VR displays), contrast, haze, etc. In addition, of course, the HMDs need to be … Read more
The human factors of VR and AR HMD systems are not well understood. The results of the studies presented at SID’s Display Week just scratch the surface and a lot more human factors research is needed before HMDs can reliably be used without problems such as VR sickness. The experimental setup for testing eye-tracking for … Read more
Coretronics was in the i-Zone with a near-to-eye light field display. The idea is to create a multi-focal plane display to avoid conflicts with vergence and accommodation. This approach can also use a microlens array to adjust for myopia or hyperopia (-10D to +3D) in the wearer’s eyes so they don’t have to wear their … Read more
Jon Karafin from Light Field Labs gave a symposium paper (25-2) and a presentation in the Immersive Conference that was very similar to presentations we have reported on recently (TS03 The Future of Cinema is Holographic). He continued to hammer on the theme of identifying displays that are not true light field images. This list … Read more
Japan Display Inc. (JDI) was showing an upgrade to an 8K based glasses-free 3D monitor that they said used light field technology. It is based on a 17.3” 8K panel. At last year’s SID, JDI showed the prototype with a static image. This was shown again this year but a second version was shown with … Read more
FOVi3D was in the i-Zone showing their latest version of the integral imaging type light field display. There were two versions on display – one optimized for spatial resolution and one for angular resolution. Optimizing for angular resolution increases the FOV and the depth volume, but sacrifices resolution. The image appeared to be about 3-4 … Read more
