Information Display World:  Liquid Crystal Displays and Electronic Paper-like Displays

Speaker: Prof. Seung Hee Lee

School of Advanced Materials Engineering

Chonbuk National University, Korea

Abstract:

Nowadays we are living in information world and especially, flat panel displays (FPDs) which play an important role in interfacing between human beings and machines as well as information communication are becoming popular, replacing the bulky CRT. In this talk, electronic information displays such as LCD, PDP and OLED and their future will be commented at first. Secondly, basic device structures, switching principles, image qualities, and applications of LCDs which is dominating FPDs will be reviewed. Finally, a future display called electronic-paper like display will be introduced.

Biography:

Seung Hee Lee received his B.S. in Physics from Chonbuk National University in 1989, Korea and Ph.D. from the Physics Department of Kent State University in 1994. In 1995, he joined the LCD division of Hyundai Electronics. Since then, he was working on the development of liquid-crystal devices and TFT-LCDs. Especially, he invented and developed a wide-viewing-angle TFT-LCD called “Fringe-Field Switching (FFS)” mode which was commercialized in some of the TFT-LCD products we are using today. Prof. Lee was awarded “King of the Invention” twice in Hyundai. In September of 2001, he became a professor at School of Advanced Materials Engineering of Chonbuk National University in Chonju, Korea. He has published more than 90 SCI papers and filed over 100 patents in the display area. His research fields are LC devices, understanding of interaction between nano-particles and LC, flexible display devices, and exploring new devices for light modulation. At present, he is a visiting professor in Prof. S. T. Wu’s group at CREOL of UCF.
