SID takes place in Vancouver, BC, Canada, from May 19 to 24 at the Vancouver Convention Center. The technical symposium will focus on the technologies of touch and gestures, Display week will again have the very popular I-Zone to provide live demonstrations for emerging information display technologies. It allows researchers to show off prototypes that will be the products of tomorrow.
The annual symposium at Display Week features hundreds of papers carefully chosen for technical rigor and state-of-the-art research. Some highlights from the 2013 technical program include: “A 9-in. flexible color electrophoretic display with projected-capacitive touch panel and integrated a-Si gate driver”; “High-transmission VA-LCD with a 3-D shaped pixel electrode for 4k x 2k displays”;and “A 55-in. AMOLED TV using InGaZnO TFTs with a WRGB pixel design.”
The plenary session begins Tuesday, May 21, at 7:45 a.m., followed by the keynote at 8:35. The first keynote, presented by Kinam Kim, president and CEO of Samsung Display, will be about “Displays and innovations: An exciting future.” The second keynote, from Bill Buxton, Principal Researcher for Microsoft Research, will be “The social life of devices.” The last keynote presenter, John Wager, Professor at Oregon State University, will talk about “Exciting developments in oxide TFT technology.”
SID will also collaborate with HIS Conferences for the Business Conference and Market Focus. The Business Conference will take an integrated view assessing the current health of the industry, while the Market Focus Conference Series will specifically concentrate on two critical segments, touch and high-performance display technologies. The conferences will feature high-level speakers and panelists from key players in the industry. Attendees will learn about important trends and hear ideas about options for the display industry.
