Announcing a Special Issue of the IEEE/OSA Journal of Display Technology in association with the 8^hInternational Thin Film Transistor Conference (ITC 2012)

Submission Deadline: May 1, 2012

The IEEE/OSA Journal of Display Technology (JDT) invites submissions of original full-length manuscripts of abstracts accepted for presentation at the ITC 2012 for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Display Technology.  Submissions are open on TFT-related topics ranging from materials and technologies to circuits and systems with focus on flat panel displays. Contributed papers on all aspects of TFT technology for display applications are welcome, including but not limited to TFT materials, processes, TFT circuits and systems integration, and novel technologies including nanostructures.

The Guest Editors for this issue are: E. Fortunato, Arokia Nathan, Jin Jang, Rodrigo Martins, Pedro Barquinha

The deadline for submission of manuscripts is May 1, 2012 and publication is tentatively scheduled for the January 2013 issue.  Manuscripts should conform to requirements for regular papers (up to 8 double-column, single-spaced journal pages in length, keywords, biographies, etc.).  All submissions will be reviewed in accordance with the normal procedures of the Journal.  

The IEEE Copyright Form should be submitted after acceptance.  The form will appear online in the Author Center in Manuscript Central after an acceptance decision has been rendered.

For all papers published in JDT, there are voluntary page charges of $110.00 per page for each page up to eight pages. Invited papers can be twelve pages in length before mandatory overlength page charges of $220.00 per page are levied.  The length of each paper is estimated when it is received.  Authors of papers that appear to be overlength are notified and given the option to shorten the paper. 

Authors may opt to have figures displayed in color on IEEE Xplore at no extra cost, even if they are printed in black and white in the hardcopy edition.  Additional charges will apply if figures appear in color in the hardcopy edition of the Journal.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically through IEEE’s Manuscript Central:

http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jdt-ieee .  Be sure to select “TFT Special Issue 2012” as the Manuscript Type, rather than “Original Paper.”  This will ensure that your paper is directed to the special issue editors.  IEEE Tools for Authors are available online at:
