Floor Plan
2012 SID Technical Program
to Include Special Technology Tracks
The Society for Information Display's annual Symposium at
Display Week offers a wide selection of presentations on
display technology that simply cannot be found anywhere
else. This year's program consists of 71 technical
sessions with a total of 256 oral presentations and an
additional 138 papers to be presented at the Thursday
afternoon Poster Session. Please join us in Boston
(Tuesday, Jun 5 - Friday, June 8) to share the latest
research and development discoveries of the display industry
and to join in the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of
the Society for Information Display (1962 - 2012).
This year's special areas of focus are 3D, Green
Technologies, Solid-State Lighting, and Printed
Displays and Electronics. Here is just a sampling
of those topics and other innovations you can expect to find
at this year's symposium.
Green Technologies
Display technology continually advances to provide more
resolution, larger size, and better performance – all at a
lower cost. At the same time, environmental, social, and
legislative forces are combining to ensure that
manufacturers use the greenest-possible processes to create
the most energy-efficient displays. What are the anticipated
production and end-of-life issues for the display industry
and how can they be addressed?
3D
Possibly the biggest commercial story in displays in recent
years is the arrival of 3D-ready TVs. Now that they have
arrived, the story is far from over. Researchers continue to
pursue the different approaches of active-shutter vs.
passive glasses technology, and glasses-free viewing is a
major challenge that many experts believe must be met in
order to make 3D displays truly successful. This year's
presentations also cover topics such as autostereoscopic 3D
displays, 3D comfort and perception, volumetric and
holographic displays, and stereoscopic and display
applications.
Solid-State
Lighting
Solid-State lighting has begun to fulfill its promise with
regard to saving energy and providing design flexibility.
However, LEDs have made more commercial inroads in this area
than OLEDs, which are currently available only in high-end
architectural applications. OLED papers therefore form the
bulk of this year's solid-state-lighting sessions, as the
industry pushes to develop higher-efficiency,
higher-performing OLED panels. Other solid-state-lighting
papers will focus on trends in LED illumination.
Touch and Interactivity
Since the
launch of touch-enabled mobile devices several years ago,
touch has become an increasingly crucial component for
numerous display products. Yet, the industry has not found
the ideal touch-technology solution. Touch is in an
evolutionary phase now, and this year's papers reflect the
diversity of approaches: projective-capacitive, optical, and
many more. Which touch technologies hold the most promise
and what is the next application or technology on the
horizon? Make
sure you attend the touch sessions at Display Week to find
out.
Flexible Electronics and
Printed Displays
Recent
advances in the area of flexible electronics and printed
displays have created the potential for lightweight,
low-cost, and flexible devices based on technologies such as
oxide TFT, organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and organic
photovoltaics (OPV). This is the first year that SID
has dedicated sessions to flexible electronics and printed
displays; among the exciting work that will be described at
the Symposium are the printing of organic TFTs and a new way
to use high-temperature processes on low-temperature
substrates.
The four-day Symposium features hundreds of leading display-industry
papers from around the world in myriad technical sessions. It includes a
Plenary Session, presentations in parallel sessions, a Poster Session
organized around selected topics, and author interview sessions each
afternoon (with demonstration models).
The
Society for Information Display presents four 4-hour short
courses on diverse topics related to information display on
Sunday, June 3. The tutorials are characterized by technical
depth and small class size. The four-hour classes covering
the fundamentals of electronic information displays will be
held on the morning and afternoon of the Sunday preceding
the Symposium. Full-color tutorial notes will be distributed
to all participants and are included in the fee. Ample time
will be provided for questions from the audience. The
speakers are leaders in their respective fields and bring an
international perspective to information display.

AVOID THE RUSH!
Registration hours for the Short Courses begin at 8:00 am Sunday
morning.
The SID
Technology Seminars present lectures on diverse topics
related to electronic information displays. These seminars
are tutorial in nature, and an attempt is made to provide
information at three levels. First and foremost, the
technical foundations of the topic are treated in detail.
Next, recent technical advances are discussed, and, finally,
the current state of the art and projection of future trends
are analyzed. The Applications Seminars focus on the
application and evaluation of information displays.
These
seminars can benefit both newcomers and experienced
professionals. Engineers new to assignments in information
display find them especially helpful in getting up to speed
quickly. Experienced professionals attend to keep up with
recent developments in fields closely related to their
specialties. Managers attending the seminars obtain a broad
perspective of the display field and a sense of its recent
dynamics. Attendees will receive an excellent set of
full-color notes, consisting of the instructor’s
presentation slides, replete with references and
illustrations. Ample time is provided for questions from the
audience in each session. The speakers are leaders in their
fields who bring an international perspective to information
display.
