The International Display Research Conference (IDRC) is the premier annual international conference covering fundamental technologies for advanced electronic displays. This forward-looking conference rotates yearly between North America, Asia (where it is called "Asia Display") and Europe (where it is called "Euro Display"). The 2006 IDRC will take place September 18-21 at the Liquid Crystal Institute at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, U.S.A.

Compared to Asia Display and Euro Display, IDRC offers a more intimate look at topics being actively researched across North America in universities and the display industry as a whole. This year, the conference will be broken up into 14 technical sessions focusing on some of the most relevant display research topics of today and tomorrow:

• AMLCD Devices
• Flexible Flat-Panel Displays
• Electronic Paper and Reflective Displays
• Advances in OLED/PLED Devices
• Advances in AMLCD Materials and Alignment
• AMLCD Compensation Films/Backlights/Color Filters
• Advances in Projection Devices
• Active Substrates
• Nano-Science and Technology in Displays
• New Display Materials and Applications
• Advances in Plasma, FED and CRT Devices
• MEMS
• Ink-Jet Processing of Displays
• Research in Medical Displays
• 3D Displays
