The second Edition of this remarkable Handbook offers readers a comprehensive overview of the science and technology of visual displays and the economic and human interface factors associated with the displays industry. Unique in the displays field, the Handbook serves as a single reference source with expert contributions from over 150 international display professionals and academic researchers.
The Handbook contains extensive coverage of established and emerging display technologies, with discussion of physical principles, materials science and processing, device technologies and particular areas of application. The wide-ranging content also encompasses the fundamental science of light and vision, image acquisition and manipulation, display materials and processing techniques, TFTs, display driving and metrology. Prominence is given to liquid crystal displays, with later chapters devoted to emerging technologies including flexible displays, electrophoretic, electrowetting and electrofluidic displays and MEMS-based displays. Other sections consider 3D display solutions, projection systems and head-worn displays.
Updated and extended throughout, major changes in the 2nd Edition include:
- Significantly expanded section on touch and human-computer interaction
- Reworked and updated chapters on OLEDs
- Revised and extended coverage of mobile display technologies
"...no engineering or science library can be without this book. It will be an asset for all companies engaged in display and display-related business." - extract from the Foreword of the 1st Edition by Dr M Anandan, President, Society for Information Display.

About the author
Dr. Janglin (John) Chen is a Vice President of Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan, and the General Director of ITRI s Display Technology Center. Prior to his present assignment, Dr. Chen was a Research Fellow of Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York, where he held many research, product development, commercialization and managerial positions from 1982 to 2006, and is the author of sixty technical reports, and 31 issued US Patents. A native of Taiwan, Dr. Chen holds a B.Sc. degree from National Tsing Hua University (1975), and a Ph.D. degree from Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, New York (1982). In ITRI, Dr. Chen and his staff scientists and engineers are focusing on new display and enabling technology research, including flexible displays, substrates, inorganic and organic TFTs. Dr. Chen currently also has the appointment of Adjunct Professor with Display Institute of National Chiao-Tung University, and is the Chairman of Taiwan Display Material & Device Association (TDMDA).
Dr Wayne Cranton, Reader in Visual Technology at Nottingham Trent University has been working in displays research since 1991, is the head of ICT in the School of Computing and Informatics and is a founding partner of the UK DisplayMasters Programme. As the Head of the Displays Research Group at Nottingham Trent, he has developed a novel high intensity electroluminescent technology for use in near to eye displays, and is working on laser processing techniques for use in flexible display fabrication. Building on the technological research, Dr Cranton has an interest in information visualisation techniques and has recently been working on the use of 3D immersive environments.
