Referred to as Light-Touch-Matters or in short, the LTM materials, the composition is proposed by materials scientists, integrating the two smart materials of flexible thin-film Organic Light-Emitting Diodes and piezo-electric polymers. In a project funded by European-Union, materials scientists and designers joined forces to further develop such smart material composites through early design input. In order to introduce and represent the LTM materials to designer’s prior their actual development, materials scientists mainly used abstract descriptions, ‘key’ physical properties and sensing/actuating function. Such representations, however, hardly capture the experiential qualities of LTM materials, which concern how they gratify our senses and what meanings, emotions and actions they elicit. This paper has conducted four design case studies to identify the design approaches and representational tools used and developed by designers for understanding, exploration and communication of the experiential qualities of these underdeveloped smart materials. Discussing the limitations of the identified tools in terms of capturing the dynamic and performative qualities, the paper draws further implications towards a future design Tool Kit.","PeriodicalId":15588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Display Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77986395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a need leads to a method, called Design Thinking, the process of creating new and innovative ideas to solve a particular problem. The aim of this paper is to show how design thinking affects Product, Process and Organizational Innovation. The objective of design thinking is to involve consumers, designers and businesspeople in an integrative process which can be applied to product, service or even business design. Based on the information and literature, the conceptual framework of the research was designed and hypotheses were developed. Data from 95 organizations in science park of Tehran, Iran provided empirical evidence for this survey. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using Smart PLS 3.0 computer software was used to analyze the data. The results of this study suggested that: Design thinking could be applicable to Product, Process and Organizational Innovation. Using the various Design Thinking tools, techniques and templates, organizations can apply them to make their innovations come true.","PeriodicalId":15588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Display Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"49-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88621067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to keep up with global competition, design thinking has proven to be a valuable concept for assisting companies to innovate their products, services and processes. Therefore, business schools worldwide have introduced design thinking courses with the aim of preparing the future workforce. Scholars debate about the appropriate approach to teach design, with this paper trying to identify how a design thinking course should be arranged to teach non-designers the processes, methods and mindset of design thinking. It deals with the question of which form of knowledge conversion is more effective for bringing non-design students closer to the design thinking mindset. To answer this, it reviews current studies on design thinking in education. In particular, the research refers to Simon’s and Schon’s concepts of science of design and reflection-in-action, along with Nonaka and Takeushi’s SECI model. The research involves an experiment with two similar one-week design thinking courses, each having different teaching approaches. The courses are then compared through analysis of reflection reports by students, semi-structured interviews with them and a survey. This research shows that applying design thinking knowledge to real-life projects should be a core element in design thinking curricula, as it plays a crucial role in successfully imparting design thinking. Further, co-teaching and co-learning modes, where designers and non-designers work together and socialization takes place, is more appropriate for imparting design thinking than instructional teaching and learning modes, where design thinking coaches instruct non-designers to internalize design thinking.","PeriodicalId":15588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Display Technology","volume":"181 1","pages":"35-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73608024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improving the electrical conductivity of AgNW film without scarifying optical transmittance is a technical challenge. In this work, an effective route for reducing sheet resistance of AgNW film with maintaining optical transmittance is proposed. By adding silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) around the intersections of AgNWs, sheet resistance of AgNW film is dramatically decreased more than 78.7%. Meanwhile, transparency of the as-prepared AgNW film maintains the same level. The mechanism of conductivity improvement is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":15588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Display Technology","volume":"79 11 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87932647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the design concepts are different for 2D/3D and 3D/2D displays, the switching characteristic of BLU with two confronting illuminating sets, was applied to build 2D mode into 3D display, and 3D mode into 2D display. A design based on the 2D concept required a uniform bilateral prismatic structure with a cross-section of isosceles triangle on the back surface of the functional light-guide plate (LGP). This structure led to an increase in double-sided uniformity, i.e., for double-sided illuminations (2D as primary function of the 2D/3D display), and a decrease in single-sided uniformity, i.e. for single-sided illumination. However, a design that was based on the 3D concept required an angle gradation for the unilateral prisms with a cross-section of a scalene triangle on the back surface of the functional LGP that led to an increase in single-sided uniformity and a decrease in double-sided uniformity (3D as primary function of the 3D/2D display). Both switching concepts were used to display 3D and 2D on the LCDs of small size handheld game devices and still cameras.","PeriodicalId":15588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Display Technology","volume":"51 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74728394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
