Full Speed AheadDisplay Week 2018 is putting the pedal to the metal back in L.A. this year, May 20-25, at the L.A. Convention Center. Those 7,000+ who joined us at last year's star-studded event in the City of Angels will experience even more of the dynamic, interactive excitement of all things display - and those of you who are joining for the first time will experience an eye-popping extravaganza that blends today's technological advancements with tomorrow's vision of the electronic display industry. AR/VR, AI, quantum dots, micro-LEDs, OLED, LCD, LEDs, wearables, sensors, devices, auto tech, foldables, flexibles, 3D tech, materials - and more: With over 200 exhibitors - if it's a part of the display industry, you'll see it at Display Week 2018. |

 |
"Display Week is where stars are born," said Aris Silzars, chair of Display Week 2018 Conventions Committee. "When OLED first came on the scene, people didn't know whether it could succeed, but look at where it is now. You never know what's going to be the next enduring technology - but if you see it at Display Week, you'll know it's leading edge." |
 |
See all the technology that was introduced last year. |
|
Display Week is where the world's display industry meets to show, see, touch and test next-generation products, and connect with the entire supply chain spectrum. Nowhere else will you find the world's preeminent scientists, inventors, researchers, developers, designers, manufacturers and investors all in one place. Whether you're a spectator, creator, buyer or seller, and whether you're seeking to advance your professional career or checking out the competition - Display Week 2018 is the place to see and be seen. |
|
 |
 |
"It's no secret that technology is ubiquitous," Aris continued, "but what is fascinating is the never-ending impact of display technology in every area of our lives. Like AR/VR discoveries and applications, the automotive display frontier, or how OLED has impacted the smart phone and TV sectors, and that the entertainment industry now really can't function without enhanced display technology and its enabling applications." |
