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.
