Location: Rehabilitation Oasis on the Desert
The new MD Anderson Cancer Center is located on the Banner Gateway Medical Center campus and features state-of-the-art medical equipment.
In 76 rooms, more than 300 staff members are dedicated to cancer treatment. The 133,000-square-foot facility is designed to provide patients with personalized, comprehensive treatment. The three-story cancer center houses medical clinics, medical imaging, radiation oncology, perfusion therapy, and other major patient care services.

The metal construction is about 30 by 30 feet in size and is designed with green leaves and branches to symbolize the healing power of the tree.
During the day, patients and visitors can relax on the balconies on the second and third floors, soak up the sun, and the siding in the tall buildings serves to isolate the sun. At night, customers want to create a more inspiring experience through the look of tall buildings, illuminated with a flame that represents eternity. The eternal flame is a symbol of endurance and hope, both universal and popular.
Challenge: Turning tall buildings into lighthouses at night
The goal of the lighting designer was to design this tall, metal-built building into an inspiring beacon. When the sun goes down, the lighthouse shows the rehabilitation and hope to the patients and staff.
The design concept of the project itself has been conceptualized before the customer decides to illuminate this symbolic high-rise. However, as the design progressed, the image of the tall building as a lantern became more and more clear, so the concept of "the lantern of hope" came to life.
When the final design goal is clear to the brain, the unique construction and natural environment of the building bring countless design challenges and difficulties to this lighting project.
The high temperature and dryness of the desert are the main factors, which requires all materials to be hard enough to withstand large temperature differences and prevent sand intrusion.
The unique construction of the building also poses design and technical obstacles to the installation of the luminaire. The luminaire must be installed in the right position to adjust the correct illumination angle to achieve the desired lighting effect. The lights are hidden inside the grid structure, while each wall panel illuminates the same color of light.
The post-maintenance situation must also be taken into account. A low-cost repair solution and luminaire that is easy to apply when needed is also critical.
The last factor to consider is the dark night sky in Arizona. The lighting design requires a suitable brightness and contrast limit to avoid glare.

High resolution
In order to realize a large-area high-resolution Liquid Crystal Display, it is usually necessary to use low-impedance metal materials, high-performance switching elements, and high-precision processing techniques. Aluminum is the most researched and used material for making TFT buses with low-impedance metals. By solving the problems of easy formation of hillocks, chemical corrosion and oxidation of aluminum, alloy methods (such as Al-Cu, Al-Si, Al-Nd and Al-Ti, etc.) and interlayer methods (such as Mo/Al/Mo) have been reported successively. , Cr/Al/Cr and Ti/Al/Ti, etc.), the alloy method is relatively simple in process, but the material has a higher resistivity. In May 1998, IBM developed a 16.3-inch ultra-high resolution (200ppi) a-Si TFT Display using Al-Nd alloy as the gate electrode, and mass production has been achieved. In April 1999, Toshiba introduced the 20.8-inch 16-SVGA (3, 200 × 2, 400) a-Si TFT-LCD, which can be said to represent the highest level of a-Si TFT-LCD in terms of high resolution and high capacity. .
According to Display Search in the third quarter of 2011, the global flat panel display research report "QuarterlyWorldw ide Flat Pane l Dis play Fore cas t Re port" pointed out that the average pixels per inch (ppi) in large-size LCD panels (>9.1 inches) ) Will grow from 88ppi in 2010 to 98ppi in 2015. The ppi of small and medium-sized LCD panels (<9.0 inches) will grow from 180ppi to 300ppi in the same period. With the rise of smart phones, mobile phones will be the most obvious application product for ppi's growth.
Another important way to realize high-resolution liquid crystal display is to develop LT p-Si TFT technology. The resolution of published p-SiTFT-LCD products is generally around 200ppi. Compared with a-Si TFT-LCD, LT p-Si TFT-LCD has a smaller volume of thin film transistors and storage capacitors. Therefore, it has a larger penetration area per inch, resulting in a brighter display. , And save more power. When the market demands higher ppi, low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology becomes the best choice for manufacturing high-resolution thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays.
Contrast
The control ICs, filters and oriented films used in LCD manufacturing are related to the contrast of the panel. For general users, a contrast ratio of 350:1 is sufficient, but such contrast in the professional field does not satisfy users. Demand. Compared with CRT monitors easily reaching 500:1 or even higher contrast, only high-end LCD monitors can achieve this level. The first-tier LCD monitors on the market, such as Samsung, Asus, LG, etc., can reach a contrast ratio of 1000:1. However, because the contrast is difficult to accurately measure with instruments, you have to go and see it yourself when you pick it.
Tip: Contrast is very important. It can be said that the selection of LCD is a more important indicator than bright spots. When you understand that your customers buy LCDs for entertainment and watching DVDs, you can emphasize that contrast is more important than no dead pixels. We When watching streaming media, the brightness of the source is generally not large, but to see the contrast of light and dark in the scene of the character, the texture change from gray to black hair must be shown by the level of contrast. The 256-level grayscale in the test software In the test, more small gray grids can be seen clearly when looking up, which means that the contrast is better!a
