  The presentation schedule for TMD and Toshiba technical papers follows:

  Presentation: "M10: Mobile-Display Technology and Future Trends"

      Session:  Display Technology Seminars - M10 Room 403

      Presentation Time: Monday, May 19 at 3:30pm to 5:00 pm

      Presenter: Tooru Nishibe, Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co.,
      Ltd., Saitama, Japan

      Synopsis:  Recent technologies in mobile displays have been
      introduced, including SOG (system on glass), fast response time,
      OLEDs, and more. Each technology will be analyzed and the
      corresponding applications will be discussed.  Future trends will be
      explored.

Presentation: "Analysis of the Anisotropy of Bend Transition for OCB LCD with Low Initialization Voltage"

      Session 5: Item 5.1 - Petree Hall

      Presentation Time: Tuesday, May 20 at 10:50 to 11:10 am

      Presenter: Yuko Kizu, Toshiba Corp., Kawasaki, Japan

      Co-Authors:  Ray Hasegawa, Yukio Kizaki, Isao Amemiya, Shuichi
      Uchikoga Toshiba Corp., Kawasaki, Japan; Tetsuya Kojima, Kenji Nakao,
      Hirofumi Wakemoto, Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co., Ltd.,
      Ishikawa, Japan

      Synopsis:  To improve the efficiency of the splay-to-bend transition
      in OCB devices, anisotropy in the growth of the bend regions was
      analyzed finding that the growth in the direction opposite to the
      rubbing direction was significantly faster.  Based on a pixel design
      that takes the anisotropy into consideration, 40% reduction of the
      initialization voltage in a 3-inch TFT-LCD has been achieved.


  Presentation:  "Various Ink-Jet Methods for TFT Array Fabrication"

      Session 31: Display Manufacturing: Inkjet Printing; Invited Paper,
      Item 31.2 - Room 403A

      Presentation Time: Wednesday, May 21 at 10:40am to 12:00pm.

      Presenters: Shuichi Uchikoga, Isao Amemiya, Toshiba Corp., Kawasaki,
      Japan

      Synopsis: Fabrication of electronic devices by using a printing
      technique is attracting interest in the expectation of lowering
      production cost. Some of the aspects of printing in terms of
      fabricating TFT arrays is outlined -- such as non-piezoelectric
      ink-jet-printing, ultrasonic ink-jet printing and electrostatic
      ink-jet printing.

Presentation: "An Organic Light-Emitting Diode with Highly Efficient Light Extraction Using Newly Developed Diffraction Layer"

      Session 36: Item 36.3 - Concourse Hall 152.

      Presentation Time: Wednesday, May 21 at 4:10pm to 7:30pm

      Presenter: Hiroshi Sano, Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co.,
      Ltd., Nomi, Japan

      Co-Authors: Satoshi Okutani, Norihiko Kamiura, Takumi Sawatani,
      Daisuke Fujita, Toshifumi Takehara, Kazuyuki Sunohara, Michiya
      Kobayashi, Nobuki Ibaraki, Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co.,
      Ltd., Nomi, Japan; Naotada Okada, Tsutomu Nakanishi, Akira Fujimoto,
      Koji Asakawa, Toshiba Corp., Yokohama, Japan.

      Synopsis: In order to improve light extraction from organic light
      emitting diode (OLED), the novel structure of the top emission OLED
      has been investigated by applying a diffraction layer.  A 1.65 times
      higher light extraction efficiency in the case of electroluminescence
      (EL) and 2.37 times in the case of photoluminescence (PL) has been
      achieved.

Presentation: "Display Architecture Suitable for Multiple Ambient Light-Sensor Integration Using LTPS Technology"

      Session 48: Item 48.2 - Petree Hall

      Presentation Time: Thursday, May 22 at 11:00am to 11:20am

      Presenter: Takashi Nakamura, Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology
      Co., Ltd., Fukaya-shi, Japan

      Co-Authors: Hirotaka Hayashi, Masayoshi Fuchi, Masahiro Tada, Takayuki
      Imai, Hiroki Nakamura, Koji Shigehiro, Shinichi Hirota, Satoshi
      Maruyama, Akihiko Saitoh, Hiroyuki Kimura, Toshiba Matsushita Display
      Technology Co., Ltd., Fukaya-shi, Japan

      Synopsis: A new LCD having multiple ambient light sensors has been
      developed. Counters and a parallel-to-serial converter is integrated
      into the panel. Special clock drivers and data registers are included
      in a source driver LSI. The ambient light sensors perform well even
      for the case when one of the sensors is covered by a finger shadow.
