HDMI 2.1 features coming to Xbox One X (VRR and Auto Low Latency Mode)
HDMI 2.1 brings auto low latency mode (ALLM) and variable refresh rate (VRR) gaming here demonstrated on a Samsung QLED TV with a new firmware update to add that functionality support to the Microsoft Xbox One X. For more information about HDMI 2.1 features for gaming see my other video. That VRR functionality of HDMI 2.1 can be considered similar to dynamic refresh rate technologies like AMD’s FreeSync and NVIDIA’s G-Sync which are now popular for gamers buying new gaming PC monitors and new graphics cards, but the target market here for the HDMI 2.1 is also for gamers to be able to enjoy those features on the 4K TVs in the future. So expect upcoming 4K TVs to support it, if not it even being added to the firmware of existing 4K TVs on the market (like possibly as part of an evt firmware update for this Samsung QLED 4K TV), and here also updated with the firmware of gaming consoles like the Xbox One X.

Oculus Research of Facebook Keynote at SID Display Week 2018
Posted by – June 25, 2018
Douglas Lanman, Director of Computational Imaging at Oculus Research, give his keynote address: “Reactive Displays: Unlocking Next-Generation VR/AR Visuals with Eye Tracking” at SID Display Week 2018, the world’s largest exhibition for electronic information display technology.
As personal viewing devices, head-mounted displays offer a unique means to rapidly deliver richer visual experiences than past direct-view displays occupying a shared environment. Viewing optics, display components, and sensing elements may all be tuned for a single user. It is the latter element that helps differentiate from the past, with individualized eye tracking playing an important role in unlocking higher resolutions, wider fields of view, and more comfortable visuals than past displays. This talk will explore the “reactive display” concept and how it may impact VR/AR devices in the coming years.
Douglas Lanman, Ph.D. is the director of computational imaging at Oculus Research, where he leads investigations into advanced display and imaging technologies. His prior research has focused on head-mounted displays, glasses-free 3D displays, light-field cameras, and active illumination for 3D reconstruction and interaction. He received a B.S. in applied physics with honors from Caltech in 2002 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Brown University in 2006 and 2010, respectively. He was a senior research scientist at NVIDIA Research from 2012 to 2014, a postdoctoral associate at the MIT Media Lab from 2010 to 2012, and an assistant research staff member at MIT Lincoln Laboratory from 2002 to 2005.
Visionox OLED Keynote at SID Display Week 2018
Posted by – June 25, 2018
Display Week is the world’s largest exhibition for electronic information display technology. Watch Deqiang Zhang, CEO of Visionox, give his keynote address: “OLED Leading to the New Experience of Display”.
Thirty-one years ago, Dr. Ching W. Tang and Steven Van Slyke from Kodak made a historic technology breakthrough, building the first practical organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device. Today, advancements in OLED have made it possible to construct flexible displays, ushering in an era of “Ubiquitous Screens.” As the rapidly developing Internet, IOT, 5G, cloud computing, etc., have already made the “Internet of Everything” become a reality, displays (especially flexible OLED displays) will play a significant role in this technological revolution.
Deqiang Zhang, Ph.D. is a graduate of Tsinghua University and held various management roles at Visionox before becoming the company’s CEO. His field of research is organic optoelectronics. Dr. Zhang has devoted himself to the research and development of OLED process technology, the construction of OLED mass production lines, and product planning in China for 22 years, promoting the industrialization of OLED. He has published over 20 OLED research papers and holds over 30 OLED patents. He received first place in China’s coveted “National Award for Technological Invention” in 2011.
Display Week is held annually and organized by the Society for Information Display.

Holst Centre IMEC fingerprint sensor in display, organic photodiode frontplane, IGZO backplane
Posted by – June 22, 2018
Holst Centre demonstrated next-gen technology that integrates the fingerprint sensor into the display. Using flat-panel display (FPD) compatible processes, Holst Centre researchers created a 6×8-cm, 200 ppi active matrix imager with a solution-processed, ultrathin organic photodiode frontplane and an IGZOTFT backplane. The imager was demonstrated in a biometric palm print and multiple-finger detector. They believe the palm print is a more secure biometric than fingerprint scanning; and the processing of all building blocks in the palm print imager is compatible with existing FPD technology platform.

ITRI shows microLED full-color microdisplay on PCB board vs. glass
Posted by – June 22, 2018
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) demonstrated a full-color microdisplay with microLED on PCB board vs. the widespread practice of placing microLEDs on glass substrate, which is much flatter than the PCB . The significance of this technology pertains initially to indoor and outdoor signage because most signage is on PCB board, and not glass. IRTI projects that the industry will prefer PCB board because it can be produced at higher quantities and lower-costs than glass. They can also tie multiple modules together to create a modular display. Future applications include AR/VR and wearable.

UNC Chapel Hill deformable beamsplitter for full focus in a wide field of view
Posted by – June 22, 2018
The University of North Carolina (UNC) showed a display prototype based on its patent-pending deformable beamsplitter, which is able to provide a full range of focus in a wide field of view (FOV). The display inherits the wide FOV from traditional beamcombiner displays but by dynamically changing the curvature of the half-silvered membranes, researchers are able to set the focus at any depth within the viewing range of a typical 20 year-old. This single optical element technology is designed to make augmented- and mixed-reality displays feasible in the near future by enabling comfortable viewing experiences in a simple design.
