The 2014 Printed Electronics Conference featured an entire session on the important topic of Barrier Films and Encapsulation. Effective barrier films and encapsulation are a long-standing challenge for the production of long-lived devices including OLED displays and lighting, flexible displays, as well as printed electronic devices in general. The Barrier Films and Encapsulation session included … Read more
3Dperception has a unique approach to the alignment of multi-projector systems that it calls Northstar. The solution embeds LEDs into the screen that are invisible until turned on. Then, a precision 3D scanner and camera capture the pattern very accurately to determine the exact geometry of the screen to create a warp mesh for the … Read more
Lotus Applied Technology presented on its development of “High Speed Low Cost ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) Ultra-Barrier on Sheets and Rolls”. Eric Dickey of Lotus began his talk by providing a description of the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. He described ALD as being totally a surface limited reaction that can yield a (nearly) perfect … Read more
Data Modul is based locally, in Munich. It is the largest distributor of specialist displays in Germany. At the 2014 show, the company had divided its stand into several different areas, varying by applications. A particular highlight was sunlight-readable displays from several of Data Modul’s partners.

From 2016, the definition of household and non-household waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is to be amended in the UK, to better match European policy. The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) says that the definition of ‘dual-use’ EEE – that is, items that could potentially be used by consumers and businesses – … Read more
3rd Dimension (Knoxville, TN) gave a paper and had a small demo in the AVT Simulation booth at I/ITSEC that showcased its second generation display technology. The company called it a “holographic” display, which is partly true as it uses a holographically-defined screen. 3rd Dimension calls its approach “an electronic form of holographic stereography”. But … Read more
A new industry milestone has been reached by 3LCD Technology. 100 million 3LCD projection chips have been shipped since the technology’s introduction in 1998.
Fraunhofer had a large stand divided into several different sections, each of which was dedicated to a different branch of the institute. LiFi technology was being shown by Fraunhofer IPMS. Two units, roughly 2m apart, were sending data to each other (bi-directionally) at 1Gbps, using IR light. A 10m distance is possible, though. The module … Read more
Kyocera has several divisions, with many display distributors located around hall A3. However, the company did have its own stand, where it was showing materials worked on by its Fineceramics division – as well as more displays. The highlight of the stand was a 3D-printed 1:3 scale model of an Aston Martin DB5; one of … Read more
3DFF (3D Film Festival) is organizing the next one day 3D film show in Los Angeles on December 6. If you are a 3D fan and in Los Angeles that day, this may be a good way to spend a whole day. The program is heavy on 3D content but also adds 4D content. This … Read more
