Keynote #2: From Image Formation to Video Playback: Signal Processing for Color Electronic Paper
Abstract: Electronic paper (E-Paper) has been widely adopted in electronic readers and a broad range of consumer electronic devices. In recent years, continuous advances in next-generation materials, device architecture, and signal-processing chip technologies have significantly expanded its application scope, enabling integration into intelligent interactive systems and large-area advertising displays.
This talk reviews recent research progress in color E-Paper technologies. Owing to fundamentally different image formation mechanisms compared with conventional display technologies, color E-Paper introduces a range of new research challenges. The talk will further highlight potential future research directions and development opportunities, including the integration of artificial intelligence into color E-Paper systems, with particular emphasis on image quality optimization, video display, and intelligent interactive applications.
Speaker: Prof. Wen-Chung Kao
Research Chair Professor and Dean with the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan Normal University
