CPIP Graduate Students Fushan Zhou and Ye Yin were recently awarded a one-year Samsung Scholarship increasing their stipends to $20,000 per year. This scholarship will be awarded each year to two Kent State graduate students who will be supported by the annual stipend.

Samsung is asking these students to develop new LCD technologies for 2D and 3D displays. The new LCD technologies will be used in support of the Samsung's next generation display and manufacturing. Student proposals addressed being able to provide new materials, design concepts and display simulations.


Fushan Zhou		 Zhou will work with his advisor, Professor Deng-ke Yang on a project entitled "Polymer Stabilized Electrically Controlled Birefringence Trans-reflective Displays."

Ye Yin		 Yin will work with his advisor, Professor Oleg D. Lavrentovich on a project entitled "The Improvement of Switching Speed by Using Nematic Liquid Crystal with Frequency Dependent Dielectric Permittivity."

Both students will write a technical report at the end of each semester for submission to Samsung.

Congratulations to both students!
