PERVASIVE DISPLAYS UPDATE

ConclusionsДЇindings are consistent with intergenerational models positing that parental negative affective behaviors increase risk for adolescent social anxiety symptoms but also suggest that adolescent negative facial affect may exacerbate parental social anxiety symptoms. ResultsД«oth parents and daughters who displayed more frequent negative facial affect at baseline had partners with higher follow-up social anxiety symptoms, an effect that was maintained after accounting for actorsвЂ™ and partnersвЂ™ baseline symptoms. Clinician ratings of social anxiety symptoms were completed at baseline and two-year follow-up. Automated facial affect coding assessed the frequency of negative affect during the discussion. We used actorвЂ“partner interdependence models (APIM) to test whether displays of negative facial affect, assessed individually for each parent and daughter during a conflict discussion, would predict their partnerвЂ™s social anxiety symptoms two years later. This study included 129 parents and daughters (11вЂ“13 no baseline social anxiety disorder), two-thirds of whom were at high risk for social anxiety due to a shy/fearful temperament. By early adolescence, rates of parentвЂ“child conflict rise, and offspring become increasingly independent in their own displays of negative affect, increasing opportunities for hypothesized transactional pathways between parentвЂ“adolescent displays of negative affect and social anxiety symptoms.

Adolescent displays of negative affect may also exacerbate parentsвЂ™ social anxiety symptoms (via FNE of their child or their parenting skills), yet little research has tested transactional pathways of transmission in families. Pervasive displays of parental negative affect may increase adolescentsвЂ™ fear of negative evaluation (FNE), thereby increasing risk for social anxiety symptoms. PDi has already shipped several million of these versatile display units to its lead customer and is now making them available to the wider market.Symptoms of social anxiety rise rapidly during adolescence, particularly for girls. The displays are able to operate over an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees and breakage detection is supported.

PERVASIVE DISPLAYS UPDATE

Although not new in the marketplace, the three-color technology used by Pervasive Displays benefits from the companyвЂ™s ongoing development programme, resulting in better quality, enhanced reliability and improvements to color film variations.Дue to their bistable nature, Spectra EPD panels require very little power to update and use zero power to maintain an image. The embedded waveform can be custom configured to meet the needs of different customers and applications. Accordingly, Spectra EPDs are able to display fine graphics and patterns, maximizing visibility, recognition and impact.Д®xtra thin and very light, Spectra EPD uses a SPI interface and features fine-tuned embedded waveform for exceptional optical performance.

In both displays the pixel arrangement is vertical and the surface of the display features an anti- glare treatment.

Model E2287ES051 is a 2.87вЂќ display providing a resolution of 296 x 128 and pixel density of 112 dpi, and the larger model E2417ES053 is a 4.2вЂќ display with 400 x 300 resolution figure and 120 dpi high pixel density. Two sizes of Spectra EPD are currently available. The Spectra EPD is an active matrix TFT glass substrate display with a super-wide viewing angle of 180 degrees.
