The goal of the course is to allow the student knowing the basic electro-optical parameters related to emissive and non-emissive displays and acquiring the ability to select the optimum display for each specific application in the scope of new industrial and multimedia systems. To achieve this goal, the following competences related to the program outcomes will be acquired: - A knowledge of how different display technologies work and their main applications (PO: a, b, k) - A knowledge of electrical and optical modeling/characterization for each kind of technology (PO: a, b, k) - An ability to select the best technology for specific applications (industrial systems, portable systems, among others)(PO a, b, i, k):.

- State-of-the-art and new trends in displays technologies - Quality parameters of displays: brighness, contrast ratio, color gamut, response times, etc. - Emissive displays (CRTs, LEDs, OLEDs, PDPs, ...): electrooptical characteristics and applications - Non Emissive displays (LCDs, e-ink, ECs, SPDs, ...): electrooptical characteristics and applications - 3D Technologies, HUD & e-books - New high-end applications

The training activities are organized as following: - Lectures (1 ECTS) where the main concepts are presented on the basis of mathematical tools and basic optic's Laws/Theorems (PO a). The learning materials include the lecture notes, the classroom documentation, and the basic bibliography that is used as a reference for completing the themes and study them in depth. - Practical classes (1 ECTS) that are focused on solving exercises and practical cases related different displays technologies. These classes are completed with the exercises and practical problems that are solved by the students at home. The methods of solving this cases are complemented with the use of computer simulation tools (PO e,k) - Laboratory sessions (1 ECTS) where the students work in groups (couples). They set up practical optoelectronic circuits to characterize and and measure the main quality electrooptical parameters of different kind of displays (PO b, k).
