The Breadth–Depth Dichotomy: Opportunities and Crises in Expanding Sensing Capabilities
Authors: Wigdor Daniel
Published: January 2019

A simple touch is not simple. What we think of as “touch” actually includes a variety of object‐sensing technologies and an even wider variety of information that can be detected about the sensed objects. This wide range of capabilities forces developers to choose between designing once for a “lowest‐common‐denominator” platform (breadth) or significantly redesigning their software for each hardware capability (depth). This dichotomy threatens the future of touch computing as a platform for innovation.

Can Advanced Assembly Techniques Alter the Dynamic of Display Manufacturing?
Authors: Semenza Paul
Published: January 2019

The mass production of flat‐panel displays has been dominated by the use of TFTs, deposited via vacuum lithography, to drive LCD or OLED panels.

Micro‐LED Technologies and Applications
Authors: Lee Vincent W. , Twu Nancy , Kymissis Ioannis
Published: January 2019

Light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) offer extraordinary luminance, efficiency, and color quality, but to date are largely used in displays as backlights or packaged pixel elements in large‐area LED billboard displays. Building high‐performance emissive displays in a smaller form factor requires a new micro‐LED technology separate from what is used for large LED billboards. Several approaches have been proposed to isolate micro‐LED elements and integrate these micro‐LEDs into active‐matrix arrays. Technologies that use micro‐LEDs offer the potential for significantly increased luminance and efficiency, unlocking new possibilities in high dynamic range, augmented/mixed reality, projection, and non‐display light‐engine applications.
Visible Artifacts and Limitations in Stereoscopic 3D Displays
Authors: Johnson Paul V. , Kim Joohwan , Banks Martin S.
Published: January 2019

Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) displays send slightly different images to our two eyes and thereby create an additional sense of depth compared to conventional non‐stereoscopic displays. Nearly all direct‐view S3D displays accomplish this by using either temporal interlacing, which alternates the images of the two eyes in time, or spatial interlacing, which alternates the images on a row‐by‐row (or column‐by‐column) basis. The two methods each have limitations, but it is possible to design S3D displays that minimize these.

Reduction of Cortical Bone Turnover and Erosion Depth After 2 and 3 Years of Denosumab: Iliac Bone Histomorphometry in the FREEDOM Trial
Authors: Chavassieux Pascale , Portero-Muzy Nathalie , Roux Jean Paul , Horlait Stéphane , Dempster David W , Wang Andrea , Wagman Rachel B , Chapurlat Roland
Published: January 2019

Denosumab, a RANKL inhibitor, reduced the risk of vertebral, hip, and nonvertebral fractures in the Fracture REduction Evaluation of Denosumab in Osteoporosis every 6 Months (FREEDOM) trial of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis compared with placebo. Previous bone histomorphometric analysis in FREEDOM showed decreased bone resorption and turnover in cancellous bone after 2 and 3 years. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of denosumab compared with placebo in the cortical compartment from transiliac bone biopsies obtained during FREEDOM. A total of 112 specimens were evaluable for cortical histomorphometry, including 67 obtained at month 24 (37 placebo, 30 denosumab) and 45 at month 36 (25 placebo, 20 denosumab). Eroded surface, osteoclast surface, erosion depth, and wall thickness were measured on the endocortical surface. Cortical thickness and cortical porosity were also measured. Dynamic parameters of bone formation were assessed for endocortical, periosteal, and intracortical envelopes. Endocortical osteoclast surface, eroded surface, and mean and maximum erosion depth were significantly lower in the denosumab group versus placebo at months 24 and 36 (p < 0.0001 to p = 0.04). Endocortical wall thickness and intracortical measures (cortical porosity and cortical thickness) were not different between the two groups. Dynamic parameters were low with tetracycline labels in cortical bone observed in 13 (43%) and 10 (50%) of denosumab biopsies at months 24 and 36, respectively, reflecting a marked decrease in bone turnover. In conclusion, our data reveal the mechanism of action of denosumab on cortical bone: inhibition of osteoclastic resorption and reduced activation of new remodeling sites. In addition, reduced endocortical erosion depth with no change of wall thickness may contribute to increased bone strength by reducing the bone loss and fragility associated with deep resorption cavities and may likely contribute to the greater BMD gain with denosumab than with other antiresorptive agents. © 2018 The Authors.
