Dr. Shunpei Yamazaki discovered the Indium–gallium–zinc oxide (IGZO) crystalline structure material for transistors to have a higher mobility than amorphous silicon transistors, and an extremely low off-state current. C-axis aligned crystalline (CAAC) IGZO enables aggressive down-scaling, high reliability, and process simplification of transistors in displays and LSI devices. Listed on over 4,000 US utility patents, Dr. Yamazaki was named in the Guinness Book of World Records as holding the most patents in the world; hailed the most prolific inventor in history by USA Today. His most notable work is on the thin-film transistor — a significant discovery being a crystalline structure in Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) material, which he discovered “by chance” in 2009. Today Dr. Yamazaki is President of the Semiconductor Energy Laboratory (SEL), where he and his team pioneered the unique development of ultra-low-power devices using CAAC-IGZO technology. A joint venture with the Sharp Corporation manufacturing smartphones using crystalline oxide semiconductors (IGZO) is a global first. In 2015 Dr. Yamazaki received the SID (Society for Information Display) Special Recognition Award for “discovering CAAC-IGZO semiconductors, leading its practical application, and paving the way to next-generation displays.” His paper on CAAC-IGZO ranked in the top 15 most downloaded papers of Wiley Electrical Engineering and Communications Technology journals, 2014. Dr. Yamazaki is also an IEEE Life Fellow.

Chairman and CEO of AU Optronics Corp., Hsinchu, Taiwan, this is the Keynote by Mr. Paul Peng entitled “The Warring States Era of Display Technologies”. Over the past two decades, TFT-LCD has been the most dominant flat panel display technology among other technologies such as PDP, FED and OLED displays. With strong competitive advantages and ongoing technology enhancements, TFT-LCD continues to make breakthroughs, providing timely solutions and affordable luxury performance for fast-emerging display applications. In the warring states era of display technologies, will TFT-LCD continue to evolve and sustain its continuing dominance in the next decade? Pau Peng’s Current Positions is to be Chairman and CEO of AU Optronics Corp. (AUO), Chairman of Taiwan Display Union Association (TDUA), Chairman of Taiwan TFT LCD Association (TTLA), Executive Director of Taipei Computer Association (TCA). His Previous Experiences include President of AU Optronics Corp., President of AUO’s Display Business Operation, Executive VP of AUO’s Global Business Unit, General Manager of AUO’s IT Display Business Group, General Manager of AUO’s Suzhou module plant, the Company’s first overseas manufacturing facility, Vice President of AUO’s Supply Chain Management, Head of the Material and Production Department at BenQ’s plant in Malaysia. You can also watch my video filmed at the AUO Booth at SID Display Week 2017 featuring foldable AMOLED, comformed displays, fast response time, small bezel displays and more.

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.
