Description

Information display has been evolving from CRT television, bulky and heavy, to flat panel display, thin, light-weight, and flexible. This evolution is being accelerated by the development of AMOLED technology, first on rigid glass but now on flexible plastic, and stretchable for the future. This talk will discuss the evolution of AMOLED and present the development of roll-to-roll AMOLED manufacturing technology, including TFT backplane using A-SAIL (Advanced Self Aligned Imprint Lithography) and Hybrid OLED for large size TV.

Biography: Dr. Chung is currently Chair Professor of Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nanoscience and Technology (SAINT) at Sungkyunkwan University. He was previously the Executive Vice President and CTO of Samsung SDI from 2006 to 2008. Dr. Chung led the R&D for Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) since January, 2000 and is a world leader in bringing the AMOLED technology into the commercial market.
