COMMUNICATION CONTINUUM BY MEANS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE DISPLAYS
The main topic of Martin's presentation was an overview of electronic and non-electronic displays, presently available or available in the near future.
Some of today's display technologies:
LCD / TFT
+ cheap, life span- backlit, sensitive to angle, expensive in large sizes
Plasma
+ cheap in large sizes, contrast, response- burn in, life span, power consuming
CRT
+ cheap, response- burn in, cumbersome, life span, power consuming
OLED
+ thin, respone, viewing angles, power consumption- life span, price (so far)
LED or lamp arrays
+ large sizes, works in daylight- low resolution, expensive
LCD/DLP projectors
+ large sizes, safe mounting- life span, light path required
Some emerging display technologies:
SED
+ response, contrast, viewing angles- cost
Electronic paper
+ low power, works well in daylight, large sizes- color is difficult
Laser imaging
+ 3D possible- expensive, difficult to set up, does not work in daylight
Holographic technologies
+ 3D possible- complex technology
other interesing bits of technology:
- Various LED applications- Creating collective images Photosynth
- Interactivity, motion sensors, paired with 3D technolgy
For those of you who read Swedish, Martins text "Så väljar du rätt lcd-skärm - vi reder ut begreppen" from Techworld provides good further reading.
