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.
Gregory B. Raupp, (B.S. ChE with Distinction Purdue University, 1976; M.S. Ch.E. Purdue University, 1978; Ph.D. University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1984) is Professor of Chemical Engineering at Arizona State University and Director of the Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University. His research expertise and experience in chemical reaction engineering and chemical reactions at surfaces span interdisciplinary application areas from processes and novel materials for flexible displays and electronics, microelectronics and packaging, to biocompatible and "smart" responsive coatings. He has published more than 115 technical papers and is the holder of three U.S. patents. Prior to assuming the Director's position at Center launch in spring 2004, he was ASU's Associate Vice President for Research, and from 1999-2002 he was Associate Dean for Research in the Fulton School of Engineering.
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).
