Nooree Na presented her recent study entitled, “Will Curved Displays Become Mainstream in Electronics? Appraisal for Aesthetic and Usability Aspects of Various Curves and Sizes” on SID Display Week 2015 in San Jose, CA. Kyeongah Jeong, Sung-Wook Ju, and Kyungah Choi have co-authored the paper. The study investigated the benefits of a curved display compared with a flat display, and discovered the optimal radius of curvature for large-size curved television based on the subjective judgment on aesthetics and usability. The experimental results showed that the display with radius of curvature equal to 2000 mm is optimal for a 55-inch television, and the display with a radius of curvature ranged between 2000 mm to 3000 mm is appropriate for 65-inch and 75-inch televisions.
