OLED Technology for Mobile, TV, and Future Applications
Ø Brian Berkeley, Vice President of Engineering, Samsung Mobile Display
Although OLED displays only started high volume mass production 18 months ago, they have already achieved broad commercial success in mobile applications due to superior viewing characteristics, thin form factor, and other desirable properties. Compared to LCDs and PDPs, active matrix OLEDs additionally offer the promise of many benefits for television and other applications, including superlative image quality and better 3D performance. However, achieving full sized OLED displays for use in TV and other large screen applications will require scale-up of OLED substrate size and manufacturing volume. This talk will update the status of Samsung’s current OLED display developments, will offer perspective on scale-up requirements to enable high volume large size OLED TV, and will cover other applications for OLED technology, including transparent, flexible, paper thin, and robust displays.

How Mistakes Drive Innovation in Touch
Ø Mark Mendenhall, President, Elo TouchSystems
The integration of touch has exploded, with it being added to nearly every computing device and equipment replacing buttons. History however, shows us how inexperience with touch or incomplete requirements definition can lead to mistakes in integration, resulting in poor touch performance.
This presentation from Elo TouchSystems, the leader in commercial applications of touch, will explore questions such as how important it is to clearly define requirements: how, where, who will be using the device, what considerations are important to keep in mind and provide the examples of both successful and problematic touch integration.
The audience will walk away with a clear understanding that there is no perfect touch technology, how good and bad experiences of past integrations have driven the path for touch innovation and how asking the right questions up front can lead to success.

The Leading Edge of Digital Signage: Multi-touch, Multi-user, Gesture control from a distance
Ø Vincent John Vincent, President and Co-Founder, GestureTek
As users become increasingly comfortable with touch-based and multi-touch interfaces on everything from pc’s to wireless devices, it’s harder than ever to create attention-grabbing digital signage that stands out from the crowd. With advanced gestural and multi-touch technologies, digital signage can create the sorts of ‘free-hand tracking’ user experiences that stop passers-by in their tracks and create memorable brand interactions.
Today, 3D depth camera integration can bring 2-handed and multi-touch control and 360º navigation control to digital signage applications and even onscreen 3D avatar control. 3D tracking can also transform traditional digital signage into an intelligent, interactive billboard, where messages follow a passerby as they walk along the length of a screen.
The trend to large-format multi-touch installations necessitates an increasingly greater level of technological sophistication. Today, systems can uniquely identify the finger of each user to deliver uninterrupted point tracking capability across multiple screens. The best digital signage systems are flexible and compatible across multiple development toolkits such as Win7 Human Interface Device. This allows developers to create and run applications on digital signage networks that have already been proven on other platforms and operating systems. Multi-platform applications; that’s the ticket to an ‘iPod-touch-like’ natural user experience on digital signage.

Touch Technology: Endless Applications
Ø Larry Mozdzyn, Chief Technology Officer, Ocular
The use of touch technology is now expected in every day functions and consumers are requesting products to include this type of user interface in their products. From smartphones to water heaters, consumers enjoy the interaction with their devices due to the touch interface while the touch panel improves functionality and gives products an upgraded look. Clean lines and tight glass enclosures give products an improved visual style while also benefitting from the advanced technologies of touch.
Manufacturers of household items, such as washers and dryers, are requesting the upgraded look and feel of a touch panel, although the product is usually only seen by the immediate owner. This upgraded interface provides a better user experience and can also improve the quality of the technology behind the screen. Incorporating touch panels gives products that previously used keypads more options for the user. Removing the keypad also improves the quality of products by eliminating mechanical failures and the potential for dirt and debris to enter the unit and cause damage.
Additional benefits, such as improved functionality and readability, are present through the use of touch panels. The integration of touch panels is spanning a wide variety of applications and product designers are coming up with innovative ways to incorporate touch every day.
