Above, the Display Week 2014 exhibit hall is opened by display industry luminaries, including Display Week Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Guest of Honor Dennis Kish of Qualcomm and SID President Amal Ghosh.
This year is being particularly well-attended, with preliminary figures indicating attendance has already increased 25% over 2013. Display Week has impressive business track and technical programs, while one of tomorrow's highlights is the 11:30 am I-Zone announcement of the best prototype. The I-Zone is another example of how Display Week shows shows not just future technologies, but the evolving products of tomorrow, to better inform the systems integrators of today.
Sample copies or proofs or the following books are available for review in the SID membership booth in registration at Display Week.

Key features:
- Explores analytical solutions and approximations to important cases in the matrix treatment of different LC layer configurations, and the application of those results to improve the computational method.
- Provides the analysis of accuracies of the different approaches discussed in the book.
- Explains the development of the Eigenwave Jones matrix method which offers a path to improved accuracy compared to Jones matrix and extended Jones matrix formalisms, while achieving significant improvement in computational speed and versatility compared to full 4×4 matrix methods.
- Includes a companion website hosting the authors' program library LMOPTICS (FORTRAN 90), a collection of routines for calculating the optical characteristics of stratified media, the use of which allows for the easy implementation of the methods described in this book. The website also contains a set of sample programs (source codes) using LMOPTICS, which exemplify the application of these methods in different situations.
