As we move deeper into the era of personalized devices that perform with minimal human active input and vast data from mutually interactive devices, the rapid and intelligible display of relevant, sufficient, and precise data is critical. Next-generation personal wearable electronics, such as smartwatches and augmented-reality glasses, will have versatile, although miniature, display panels for communications, social media, navigation, imaging, health monitoring, eye tracking, gesture recognition, etc. The U.S. needs to regain leadership in handling data in diverse and rapidly changing display formats, all the more so because developments in numerous other technologies are affected and promoted by display technology. A 16-graduate-student cohort from the U.S. will visit two different Taiwanese institutions during two consecutive summers for intensive training through two Advanced Studies Institutes (ASI) in display technology and display manufacturing. Along with a cohort of 16 Taiwanese graduate students, the cohort from the U.S. will be immersed in a series of short courses and laboratory projects on various aspects of cutting edge display technologies, novel applications, and wearable devices/systems, as well as key display manufacturing knowledge. The selected students will become natural leaders as public transport systems, personalized vehicles, healthcare, food production, education, and other fields incorporate advanced display systems for monitoring data and controlling operations. The overall goal of this project is to nucleate a scientific workforce to design and manufacture next-generation display products in the U.S. Advancement of future display technologies and technical capabilities has necessitated a collaborative effort between globally engaged researchers in both academia and industry. A cohort of 16 U.S. graduate-students will participate in a week-long Advanced Studies Institutes (ASIs) in Taiwan for two consecutive years devoted to disruptive techniques in display materials and device architectures. This will help to greatly improve American expertise for producing existing display products at reasonable cost as well as for conceiving novel display products for long-term benefits to industry and society in future. Taiwan is a global manufacturing leader in optics and electronics. The ASIs will be hosted by two Taiwanese universities, National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). Grouped among the top three research institutions in photonics and electronics in Taiwan, and having produced industry leaders and entrepreneurs in display technologies, both hosting universities will leverage their manufacturing connections to organize industrial visits for the American students. The first-year ASI hosted by NTUT will cover innovative materials and structures for next-generation display technology, while the second year ASI hosted by NYCU will focus on advanced display devices and systems in the era of wearable electronics. Along with a cohort of 16 Taiwanese graduate students, the American students will be immersed in a series of 41 hours of lectures and 24 hours of laboratory projects on various aspects of cutting-edge display technologies, novel applications, and wearable devices/systems, as well as key display manufacturing knowledge. The Organizating Committee comprises professors from The Pennsylvania State University, University of Dayton, NTUT, and NYCU, as well as personnel from industries in Taiwan and the U.S. Progress towards project goals will be evaluated with a focus on the effectiveness of student recruitment and retention across the two years, professional development, and cross-cultural experiences and competencies developed between students from the two countries.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

随着我们更深入地进入个性化设备的时代，这些设备以最少的人类活跃输入和来自相互交互设备的大量数据执行时，相关，充分和精确的数据的快速和可理解的显示至关重要。下一代个人可穿戴电子设备（例如智能手表和增强现实眼镜）将具有多功能，尽管微型，展示面板用于通信，社交媒体，导航，成像，健康监测，手术，手势识别等。来自美国的16年级学生队列将在两个连续的夏季访问两个不同的台湾机构，通过两家高级研究机构（ASI）在展示技术和展示制造业中进行深入培训。除了由16名台湾研究生组成的队列外，来自美国的同伙将沉浸在一系列简短的课程和实验室项目中，这些课程和实验室项目有关尖端展示技术，新颖的应用和可穿戴设备/系统的各个方面以及关键展示制造知识。选定的学生将成为自然领导者，因为公共交通系统，个性化车辆，医疗保健，食品生产，教育和其他领域都结合了用于监视数据和控制操作的先进显示系统。该项目的总体目的是为美国在美国的进步设计和制造下一代展示产品的科学劳动力对未来展示技术和技术能力的发展，这需要在学术界和行业中全球研究人员之间进行合作的努力。由16名美国研究生组成的队列将连续两年参加台湾为期一周的高级研究机构（ASIS），致力于展示材料和设备架构中的破坏性技术。这将有助于大大提高美国专业知识，以合理的成本生产现有的展示产品，并为未来的新型展示产品构想新颖的展示产品。台湾是光学和电子产品的全球制造业领导者。 ASIS将由两所台湾大学，国家台北理工大学（NTUT）和国家Yang Ming Chiao Tung University（NYCU）主持。两位托管大学都将在台湾的光子学和电子产品领域排名前三的研究机构中，并在展示技术中生产了行业领导者和企业家，两位托管大学都将利用其制造业联系来组织美国学生的工业访问。 NTUT主办的第一年ASI将涵盖下一代展示技术的创新材料和结构，而NYCU的第二年ASI将重点关注可穿戴电子产品时代的高级显示器和系统。除了由16名台湾研究生组成的队列外，美国学生还将沉浸于41个小时的讲座和24小时的实验室项目中，这些实验室项目在尖端展示技术，新颖的应用和可穿戴设备/系统的各个方面以及关键展示制造知识上。组织委员会由宾夕法尼亚州立大学，代顿大学，NTUT和NYCU的教授组成，以及来自台湾行业的人员以及美国对项目目标的进步将进行评估，将重点介绍两年的学生招聘和保留的有效性，并在两年中发展了两年的学生，并跨越了跨文化的经验，跨文化，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化的经历，以及跨文化的培训。认为值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持。
