CALL FOR PAPERSLaser Display and Lighting Conference 2020(LDC2020)

Laser Display and Lighting Conference 2020
Introduction
The Laser Display and Lighting Conference (LDC) is an international conference on laser displays,
laser lighting, and related technologies. The 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th to 8th LDC were held in Yokohama,Japan in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 to 2019 respectively, and the 3rd in Taichung, Taiwan in 2014, the5th in Jena, Germany in 2016. The 9th Laser Display and Lighting Conference (LDC2020) will be heldon April, 21st – 24th, 2020 in Yokohama, Japan, at Pacifico Yokohama.
The LDC 2020 is intended to provide a central forum for the update and review of scientific andtechnical information on laser display and lighting covering a wide range of fields from fundamental
research to systems and applications. The conference is sponsored by the Optical Society of Japan incooperation with several academic societies and associations.

Co-located conferences
Optics and Photonics International Congress (OPIC) 2020 is a FIVE days event, including FIFTEEN
cutting edge conferences.

OPIC 2020 provides access to the very latest products, research andinitiatives in the optics and photonics sector.

It also offers you the opportunity for face-to-faceinteraction with those driving the future of optics and photonics technology.

And Optics andPhotonics International Exhibition (OPIE) 2020, an exciting trade and technology exhibition
featuring leading players from across the globe, will be held at the great hall next to the conferences
place. That may bring you good opportunities to touch the state of the art products and technologies
in the sector. By registering for LDC 2020, you can participate in all international conferences.

Important deadlines
Regular Paper Submission: 28th January 2020

Scope
LDC 2020 covers the laser display / lighting technology in the following major topical fields;
A. Light sources and components
Visible lasers, LED, solid-state light sources, phosphor, wavelength conversion materials, for displays
and automotive applications. Optoelectronic components, such as spatial light modulator, high-speed
scanner, MEMS, projection components, display drivers and interface are also included.
B. Imaging / Lighting
Display, projector, lighting, and 3D imaging including light field, integral photography, andholography. Evaluation and reduction technologies of speckle and color speckle. Color management
for laser based display and lighting. Laser safety and standardization are also included.
C. Smart Systems
Display, projector, lighting, 3D imaging, holography, and IoT systems for smart society, which areintegrated with other functional devices or technologies, such as AI analysis/control, signal processing,varioussensors(e.g.,

camera,TOFandLiDAR),

humaninterface,

wired/wirelessmicrowave/millimeter wave/optical communication devices or interfaces, or wired/wireless opticalpower supplies. Design, algorithm, or components particularly applied for the above smart systems
are also included.
D. AR, MR, VR, ... XR technologies
AR (Augmented Reality), MR (Mixed Reality), and VR (Virtual Reality)... These concepts arecollectively called XR (eXtended or “X” Reality). XR technologies opening a new market and having agreat impact on life style. New platforms using XR technologies (relevant hardware, software
technologies and their applications).
E. Visible light communication (VLC) technologies and systems
Principles, devices, components, systems and sub-systems for VLCs. Consumer and industrial
applications such as 5G, IoT, mobility, LiFi and underwater. VLC technologies with sensing and powertransmission are also included.
F. Laser Technology for Automotive Applications
Automotive laser applications, including lighting, displays, and sensing. Lighting applications include
headlights, rear lights, as well as other functional lighting devices for use in adverse weather
conditions. Applications involving both lighting and displays include road surface projectors. Sensing
applications of particular attention are those for use in autonomous vehicles, such as ToF-based

LiDAR, as well as FMCW LiDAR. Light-based vehicle-to-vehicle communication will also be featured
in this session.
G. Novel and emerging technologies and applications
Novel and emerging technologies and applications of laser lighting and display. Components andoptics. Entertainment, education, medical, social applications and others.
Joint session
The session is held with cooperation of the other committees. The detail will be determined.

Plenary Session
Under negotiation
Basically, TWO talks are planned, one is focused on the light source and the other on the system.

Invited Talks
Under negotiation

LDC 2020 Abstract Book (Free Access)The abstract book of LDC 2020 will be published in SPIE. Digital Library on June to August 2020.
The book is free access for convenience of all researchers in this field.

LDC 2020 Special Issue of Optical Review
The special issue on Laser Displays will be published in Nov/Dec, 2020 issue of OPTICAL REVIEW,
the journal edited by the LDC committee and is distributed by Springer. All the authors of LDC 2020are strongly encouraged to submit the original papers to the special issue. Please note that allsubmissions will be peer-reviewed following the editorial policy of OPTICAL REVIEW. The
submissions from invited speakers are also welcome. Manuscript should follow Optical review
submission guidelines "Instructions for Preparation of Manuscript" and be submitted in the electronic
form on the internet.
