The mobile display industry has witnessed rapid growth, in both volume
and diversification, in recent years. This trend is expected to persist
with continued consumer demand for mobile communications and computing
applications. Mobile displays are now integral to a wide range of
devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, PDAs, GPS map readers,
portable DVD players, and electronic books, as well as the ubiquitous
mobile phone and laptop computers. This proliferation of products has
fuelled a significant investment into the research and development of
the mobile display, with key research laboratories across the display
industry and academia producing many exciting technological
advancements.
With contributions from well-known experts, in both industry and
academia, this book presents a comprehensive coverage of the mobile
display in a single volume. Ranging from an in-depth analysis of the
requirements that the displays must meet, through current devices, to
emerging technologies, the text features:
- mobile environment and human-factor considerations for the display;
- advances in the incumbent active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD)
technologies;
- backlighting and light manipulation techniques;
- mobile display driver electronics and interface technologies;
- emerging technologies including active matrix organic light emitting
diode (AMOLED), electronic paper displays, and system-on-glass (SOG)
developments;
- application developments in eyewear, mobile projector, and 3D
displays.
Mobile Displays: Technology and Applications presents, in addition to
the fundamentals, a detailed update on state-of-the-art advancements. It
is an invaluable resource for practicing electronics and display
engineers working on the development of mobile displays and their
applications. It is also an extensive reference for graduates taking
special courses in display technologies.
The Society for Information Display (SID) is an international society,
which has the aim of encouraging the development of all aspects of the
field of information display. Complementary to the aims of the society,
the Wiley-SID series is intended to explain the latest developments in
information display technology at a professional level. The broad scope
of the series addresses all facets of information displays from
technical aspects through systems and prototypes to standards and
ergonomics
