1. FlexEnable (UK)
  The low temperature processes of organic electronics (<100°C) allow low Tg flexible substrates, such as TAC (Tri acetyl Cellulose) Tg < 150°C) to be used in place of glass, unlocking many new properties including biaxial curvature. We will show a demonstration of a switchable flexible LC cell on TAC film that has been biaxially thermoformed into a spherical cap. Both LC cells and OTFT arrays on TAC film can be biaxially thermoformed in this way. Such complex curvatures are needed for AR/VR active optics (ambient dimming, lensing), smart windows and active surface OLCDs.

*Hiroshi Kaga1, Kotaro Hasegawa1, Koji Miyauchi1
1. ADVANTEST CORPORATION (Japan)
  Performance wise, Micro-LED display has excellent characteristics comparing with others, but its higher manufacturing costs are the biggest issue for its commercial use. In the current micro-LED testing, electroluminescence (EL) test and diode-characteristic test are performed serially.  With the urgent needs to reduce test costs, the most critical issue is how to realize parallel EL test since the existing EL test should be single unit test. To solve this matter, we developed super-cost-effective test method (PEMPTM) embedding massive parallel EL and diode-characteristic test. We will demonstrate the actual measurement on sample device and show the system and software environment.

  We are going to demonstrate N3D display system, which can handle DICOM data and displays high performance 3D images because of its high space and angular resolution. Besides calculation speed is fast enough to show the 3D images without any delay even if we use normal-performance PC (Intel core i7 and GPU: Nvidia GTX1080 or RTX3060 in Windows10). Eye tracking camera is also embedded and an accurate 3D image can be seen from wherever you are. We think this is applicable for medical application and you can experience 3D images of organs you have never seen before (see fig.1).
     
3Dp1-6L Moiré Reduction Method for Visually Equivalent Light Field Display Using Special Barrier Aperture Structure
*Munekazu Date1, Tokinobu Mitasaki1, Ayumi Matsumoto1, Masaki Kitahara1
1. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (Japan)
  A visually equivalent light field 3D (VELF3D) display is a parallax-barrier-type autostereoscopic 3D display. Since stripes of the barrier and pixels are in parallel, moiré occurred, when the barrier is placed on the screen. We suppressed moiré by only providing unevenness in the aperture shape of the barrier. In this demonstration, we’ll show moiré suppression using our proposed aperture structure, which is difference of two error functions, and drastic effect of optimized parameter σ=0.375. Moreover, we will demonstrate tablet type VELF3D display that is made only putting our proposed barrier on the touch panel of the screen.
     
VHF2-3L Comparison of Super-Resolution Effect by Sub-Frame Division Method of Subjective Super-Resolution Aerial Display
*Shoya Kawaguchi1, Akinori Tsuji2, Toyotaro Tokimoto1,3, Masaki Yasugi1, Shiro Suyama1, Hirotsugu Yamamoto1
1. Utsunomiya University (Japan), 2. Tokushima University (Japan), 3. XAiX, LLC (Japan)
  This is a demonstration of an aerial display with subjective super-resolution method. This method switches sub-frames generated from the original image at high-speed, and the observer perceives a higher resolution than actual resolution of the display. As shown in the figure, our device forms subjective super-resolution display in the air, by using AIRR (aerial imaging by retro-reflection). Aerial image makes the non-light emitting pixels unnoticeable and improves the apparent resolution. The high-resolution display can be achieved with a small number of pixels, which reduces the number of pixels on the LED panel and thus reduces the cost of the display. 
     
PRJ7-2 T-Glasses: Light-Weight High Efficient Augmented Reality Smart Glasses
*Soon-gi Park1, Kiman Kim1, Jeonghun Ha1
1. LetinAR (Korea)
  T-Glasses are stylish and affordable AR smartglasses. With its own pin mirror technology (PinMR™), OLED micro-display is reflected onto tiny mirrors inside the lens, delivering clear images. As these mirrors are small enough to be perceived by human eye, they not only offer complete privacy, but also provide clear artificial images and real world vision at the same time without any interference. This unique technology helps achieve a wider field of view and brighter colors in a small actual glasses type form factor. As T-Glasses are less complex to manufacture, these are smartglasses that the masses can afford.
