New Vision is a startup spinning out of the South China University of Guangzhou China showing their plastics based flexible AMOLED technology using an oxide TFT backplate, enabling entirely new designs of electronics as new categories of products with flexible unbreakable displays can be made. Nuvision currently shows 400ppi Flexible AMOLED but they will also be able to soon present Flexible OLED with pixel densities of up to 1000ppi.

Deepak Kumar Dubey, Research scholar at the Nano Organic Photonics Devices Lab, Dept. of Material Science & Engineering at the National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan presents their Blue hazardous free Candle light-style organic light emitting diode based lamp. Increasing studies report that blue light to possess a potential hazard to the retina of human eyes, secretion of melatonin and artworks. To devise a human and artwork-friendly light source and to also trigger a "Lighting Renaissance", they demonstrate here how to enable a quality, blue-hazard free general lighting source on basis of low color-temperature organic light emitting diodes. This blue-hazard free candlelight OLED desk lamp (2,000K) is made by the collaborative effort of National Tsing Hua University and WiseChip Semiconductor Inc. It is presumably 20 times safer in terms of retinal protection and 10 times better for melatonin generation as compared with the 5000K blue light-enriched white light. It is friendly to human eyes, physiologies, artifacts, ecosystems, the environment, and night skies, besides being free from UV, flickering and glare etc.

Floating image displays can provide a tactile response in the form temperature transmission. For example an image of a fire can make you feel heat while an image of a snowflake provides a cold feeling. Infinity mirror air provides project light source vertically and horizontally using a small strip of light. Yamamoto university also has technology for projecting 3D objects into its hologram.

Lincoln Technology has the brightest display in the world at 7000 nits. 7000 nits is possible, but isn't always necessary. Brighter displays are better for digital signage, general visibility and outdoor usage. Filmed at the SID Display Week.

Touchscreen film technology from Synaptics and Guardian industries enables more transparent and responsive displays. Using a continuous silver film makes the glass of the display more visible and makes it easier to see objects. One potential application  is vending machines. Filmed at the SID Display Week.

SID Head of Marketing Sri Peruvemba interviews Dr. Qun (Frank) Yan at Display Week 2017 in Los Angeles. Dr. Yan heads up the China Chapter of SID, one of the fastest growing SID chapters worldwide. Dr. Yan has been very active in SID for many years. He currently serves as committee chair of the Display Technology Training School at SID and has also served since 2009 on the SID Symposium Program Committee. Currently, he is the chief scientist of Changhong Electric Group, one of the largest consumer electronics conglomerates in China. Filmed at the SID Display Week.
