Journal of the Society for Information Display

Jiun-Haw Lee Editor in Chief In the May issue, JSID will publish a special issue of (part of) “Expanded Distinguished Papers of Display Week 2021.“ Those papers were nominated by the Program Committee of SID Display Week and passed the expedited review, which was somewhat stricter than normal because of time constraints. Those papers will remain open access until the end of 2021. When inviting the authors of the SID-sponsored conference to expand their results to a full paper and submit to JSID, sometimes they ask: “May I use the same context (or figures) of the SID-sponsored conference proceeding in the expanded paper?” In the Editorial published in April, we clarified this issue of novelty and plagiarism from different viewpoints: legally speaking, the author, and the journal. Take “Expanded Distinguished Papers of Display Week“ as an example. These abstracts are nominated by the Program Committee of SID Display Week with a quick review and limited content (within 4 pages). Although the results are interesting, the abstracts sometimes cannot contain all the information that is required for a full paper (typically >6 pages) published in JSID. When preparing the manuscript of JSID, the authors are allowed to use part of or all of the content in the abstracts submitted to SID Display Week by the same authors. However, it cannot apply to the case for expanding the conference papers sponsored by other societies. Evaluation and formulation of the sense of social telepresence in video-mediated communication systems: Contribution of eye contact to enhancing social telepresence | Shinji Kimura, et al. | DOI: 10.1002/jsid.976 There is a strong demand for online meetings, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared to face-to-face communication, the user experience for existing video-mediated communication (VMC) is still not satisfactory, unfortunately, even though we can use high-resolution display, together with high-speed internet. To create the “real” feeling of face-to-face communications, especially in one-on-one situations, the authors pointed out two important human factors: “eye contact” and “life-size image.” A prototype of the VMC system was demonstrated with a large-sized transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display and a camera behind the scenes. Using a large display to achieve a life-sized image is straightforward. A camera behind the transparent display was employed to align the eye gaze with the image and create the feeling of “eye contact.” Early defect identification for micro light-emitting diode displays via photoluminescent and cathodoluminescent imaging | Keith Behrman, et al. | DOI: 10.1002/jsid.985 Micro light-emitting diodes (μ-LEDs) are an emerging display technology that has attracted lots of attention for different applications, such as augmented reality, small-sized displays (∼2 inches), and huge displays (more than 100 inches). In such a display, each LED is driven independently for electroluminescence (EL) emission. However, it is not easy to achieve high process yield for the millions of pixels in one display. Hence, online detection is required during manufacture. In this paper, the authors compare two different measurement methods, photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL), with EL results. It was found that PL is not a satisfactory tool to reveal the defects. On the other hand, CL images can be accurate, up to ∼70%, when mapping to an EL image. Different defect modes during the process flow were also analyzed. JSID is published monthly by Wiley.
