Jimmy Thielen, product development specialist of 3M Display Materials and Systems Division, will present “Bringing the Color of Tomorrow Closer to Reality Today” at the SMPTE 2014 Annual Technical Conference at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood, CA on Octo. 22 at 3:00 p.m.
“The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has recommended a television broadcasting standard (Rec. 2020) for ultra-high definition (UHD) television that is aimed at providing a better visual experience,” Thielen said. “They recommend a color gamut that exceeds previous broadcasting standards and is currently only achievable by laser-based display technologies.
“Quantum dot enabled LCDs provide one alternative with potential to meet Rec. 2020’s standard color gamut while taking advantage of existing manufacturing capacity. We examined how existing quantum dot and LCD technology could be optimized to meet the Rec. 2020 color standard. Our analysis revealed that up to 94% gamut coverage can be achieved,” Thielen said in conjunction with 3M co-authors James Hillis, John Van Derlofske, Dave Lamb and Art Lathrop in an abstract for his presentation.
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), the worldwide leader in motion-imaging standards and education for the communications, media, entertainment, and technology industries, will host the SMPTE 2014 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition at the Loews Hollywood Hotel Oct. 20-23, 2014.
