Awarded for contributing to the development of the display field through accomplishments such as the world's first organic TFT*1-driven rollable OLED display and flexible electronic paper*2
The title was awarded in recognition of
*1 Organic Thin Film Transistor (TFT): a thin-film transistor that uses organic materials (compounds with acarbon skeleton) as the semiconductor layer material.
*2 Electronic paper driven by thin-film transistors formed on a resin substrate.
*3 An OLED display that can be bent and rolled up. In recent years, this technology has been increasingly applied to smartphones and large-screen TVs.
*4 A small OLED display driven by a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), which is increasingly being used in electronic viewfinders for digital cameras and for AR/VR headsets.
*5 A display consisting of an array of micro-LED chips made of compound semiconductors.
