8 ID TOC Issue1 p1_Layout 1 1/10/2018 2:23 PM Page 1 Lighting the Way into a New Yearby Stephen P. AtwoodWelcome to 2018. Once again we embark on a new yearwith great hopes and many new technical innovations onthe horizon. It s an extremely fertile time in our industry,with many rapid advancements in fields such as augmentedreality, artificial intelligence, wearable technologies, quan-tum dots, and of course OLEDs. In this issue we turn ourattention to lighting, including new advances in OLED lighting, new understanding of how the spectrum of light affects our health, and new ways in which traditional display technology can be leveraged to shift the paradigm of automotive lighting technology.

9 This and much more await you in this first issue of Information Displayfor ambient lighting technology is a topic of interest for me for personalreasons. I have always found harsh and direct task lighting uncomfortable for with bright beams that point directly at my work surface produce glare thataffects my eyes ability to focus and causes headaches. To avoid this I tend to use a lotof bright light around the room, which is inefficient. As I have aged, I notice that I need even more light to focus on small things, and I sometimes resort to using flash-lights at specific angles that I can control.

10 But the angle needs to be just right, and if I can see any part of the beam directly, this method doesn t help me. For the abovereasons, I now prefer the even lighting of digital screens to paper and tend to use mytablet much more than books. Apparently I m compensating for existing lighting equipment that is neitherergonomically designed nor well suited for my use. And I suspect my experience isn tunique. I find this discomfort with lighting also affects my mood. Spending time insmall spaces, such as airplanes, with poorly designed or dingy lighting only makes the experience less appealing.
