Society for Information Display Announces Display Industry Award Winners

  • The Society for Information Display has selected the winners for Display of the Year, Display Component of the Year, and Display Application of the Year.
  • Display of the Year goes to AU Optronics’s 55-inch, 4K x 2K, 2D/3D switchable glasses-free TV. According to Information Display: “AUO’s proprietary display made its debut in Japan in December 2011 and is currently the world’s first 4K x 2K TV display, as well as the largest glasses-free 4K x 2K 3-D TV display commercially available.”
  • “The display features a 4K x 2K (or ‘quad-HD’) resolution of 3840 x 2160 for vivid and lifelike 2-D images,” notes the article. “Meanwhile, a simple switch by the viewer converts the image instantly into 3D format, with 3D support for up to nine positions based on the TV’s built-in face-tracking camera.”
  • Qualcomm’s Mirasol Display Technology earned the silver award for Display of the Year.
  • Display Component of the Year was awarded to Nanosys’s Quantum-Dot Enhanced Film (QDEF), which uses quantum dots to create a pure-white backlight for LCDs. The backlight produces a wide color-gamut resulting in vivid colors that are more true-to-life.
  • Samsung’s Galaxy Note took Display Application of the Year. The Galaxy Note is a portable communication device that combines a smartphone and a tablet. The device includes a 5.3-inch, 800 x 1280 pixels AMOLED display that can handle deeper blacks than LCDs and 95 percent of natural colors.
  • The silver award for Display Application of the Year goes to Perceptive Pixel’s 82-inch Projected-Capacitive Unlimited Multi-Touch and Stylus LCD.
