| All eyes will be on the Display Week annual Technical Symposium, one of the most highly respected and anticipated forums in the field that brings together hundreds of scientists, researchers and other experts for both oral and poster paper presentations. For 2017, the Symposium focuses on emerging technology in four special topic areas: augmented and virtual reality, digital signage display solutions, display materials and processes and wearable displays. Check out the presentations.
This year we saw a 15% increase in submissions, which translates to an exciting opportunity for you to understand these rapidly moving technologies. Whether youre interested in any aspect of motion image technology, including device technology (e.g., LCD, OLED, projector), or the emergence of wearable and vehicle displays and the technology that enables lower-power-consumption and higher performance displays for mobile devices (such as smartphones, tablets and E-books) the four-day Symposium is the place to be. |
|
 |
| Augmented and Virtual Reality sessions will cover the newest technologies, systems and applications, including 3D sensing and imaging; spatial tracking, localization, mapping and navigation; immersive audio technologies; human factor considerations; and biometrics and user authentication. |
|
 |
| Digital Signage Display Solutions will focus on technologies that create new markets through increased capabilities, covering new enabling innovations and applications, such as controller solutions optimizing color space use and high-dynamic-range implementations; new LED implementations leveraging flip-chip and chip-on-board solutions; down-conversion materials (phosphors, quantum dots); e-paper; reflective displays; and unique visualization solutions (compound curves, circles, fiber light guides). |
|
 |
| Display Materials and Processes will focus on enabling novel applications, as well as advancing fundamental understanding of how innovative materials and processing contributions improve all types of displays and components. Topics include OLED materials processing; advances in electronic and optoelectronic materials; nanomaterials and nanofabrication for large-area substrates; and reducing environmental impact during fabrication. |
|
 |
| Wearable Displays will cover a wide range of topics related to this mobile computing revolution, including wearable product design and concepts; low-power, flexible, stretchable and textile wearable display advances; direct-view wearable displays; and micro-display design suitable for wearable applications like head-mounted displays. |
