Abstract

Jiun-Haw Lee Editor in Chief Congratulations! JSID's 2019 journal impact factor, a metric that reflects the average number of times the articles in a journal were cited in a particular period, made a “quantum jump” to 1.645. That's a record high—and what's more, it means JSID's impact factor has increased for five successive years. The jump was driven in part by the Distinguished Papers from Display Week 2017 and 2018, which garnered substantial attention and citations. As a reminder, the Distinguished Papers of Display Week 2020 (which have been published in issues 4, 5, and 6) will remain open access through the end of 2020. Please take this chance to browse through Display Week 2020's best papers for free! The July 2020 and August 2020 issues of JSID each contain three invited papers. Together, they span a wide spectrum of topics, including OLED, augmented reality (AR), liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS), oxide thin-film transistor (TFT), automotive interior lighting and display, and quantum dots (QDs). Papers in the July issue characterized soluble hole-injection materials and used LCOS as the spatial light modulator for AR applications while presenting a new algorithm for enhancing the image quality of dual-plane holographic projection. A review of oxide TFT fabricated with vacuum deposition summarized 370 related works in this field. Further, a new automotive interior lighting that considers safety issues, user experience, and ambient conditions was proposed. This is a highly practical and exciting paper that sheds light on possible interiors for future car models. Next, fabricating and characterizing a fine metal mask is disclosed for high-resolution OLED production, achieving more than 800 pixels per inch (ppi). Additionally, the issue details the latest progress on cadmium-free QD. Invitation to Submit Review Papers The Journal is soliciting review papers on any display-related topic. If you have a great idea for a review paper, please contact the editor at editor@sid.org. Page charges for invited review papers will be waived. Analog LCOS SLM devices for AR display applications | Kuan-Hsu Fan-Chiang et al.| doi: 10.1002/jsid.881 Analog LCOS with precise linearity control is demonstrated using an improved fabrication process and driving technique. The authors also explore how they achieved a fast response time of 2.5 milliseconds full-on-full-off, which can be used as a spatial light modulator for multiplane holograms in AR applications. They propose the multiconstraints angular spectrum algorithm (MASA) to improve image quality for the conventional angular spectrum algorithm (ASA) for dual-plane content, even when there is a long distance between two planes (20 centimeters [cm] and 60 cm to the observer, respectively). High-performance vacuum-processed metal oxide thin-film transistors: A review of recent developments | Hee Jun Kim et al.| doi: 10.1002/jsid.886 In this review, the authors summarized recent developments of n- and p-type oxide TFT fabricated by a vacuum process from different viewpoints of materials, processes, and device structures. N-type oxide TFTs, such as indium gallium zinc oxide, have been applied for the mass production of active-matrix displays, including LCD and OLED with a field-effect mobility of ∼10 cm2/Vs. On the other hand, the p-type oxide TFTs based on cuprous oxide, tin monoxide, and nickel oxide are still in the early stages. Tables of benchmark device performances were summarized alongside channel and insulator materials, fabrication techniques, and device architectures, which provide a fair comparison. Note that this paper cited 370 references, which is quite a complete summary for the oxide TFT field. Information About the Journal JSID is published monthly by Wiley.
