Global TV Market
Outlook, Ross Young, Founder and
President of DisplaySearch, an NPD Co.
Ross Young, founder and president of DisplaySearch, will discuss the
latest global and regional TV results and outlook, paying particular
attention to LCD vs. PDP competition. Both LCD and PDP TV shipments
have soared, but who in the display supply chain is benefiting? In
addition, he will discuss the technology and cost reduction roadmaps
for both LCD and PDPs, current and future costs, prices and channel
margins and HD household penetration. |

The Impact of LED
Backlighting, Michael C. Holt, President, Lumileds Lighting
U.S. LLC
High- and medium-power LEDs are transforming the science of image
projection, the way that people interact with their visual media,
and even the media themselves. From LED-based PC monitors and TVs to
a new breed of "pocket imagers" for small groups,
high-power LED technology is setting new standards for color
reproduction and enable never-before-possible applications. The
impact of LED backlight units on the growth of the TV market will be
discussed. |

Analysis of Cost
Competitiveness of Large FPD TV and Full-HD TV Prospects, Peter
Kwon, CEO, Display Bank
A comparison of cost competitiveness of large-sized (over 40 in.)
LCD TV and PDP TV and a forecast cost trend for large FPD TV will be
presented. A detailed analysis of the advantages between TFT-LCD and
PDP manufacturers will be given. A discussion of the increased
demand of full HDTV in the Northern American market and how this
fact will influence the large-sized-TV market will be given. |

A Revolution in Display
Technology: Enabling Next-Generation Wireless Communications, Dr.
Jeffrey Sampsell, Vice President of Technology, QUALCOMM MEMS
Technologies, Inc.
The mobile phone is becoming a tool not only for voice
communications, but also the most personal device for entertainment,
computing, and information access. As consumers continue to actively
use mobile devices for more hours per charge and for more
graphically compelling applications, displays must evolve to be
visible in a wider range of lighting conditions while using
significantly less power. Current displays are not up to the task. |
| 4:00
pm |
OLEDs: A Broad
Perspective on Their Market Potential
Steve Abramson, President, Universal Display Corp.
As OLED technology attempts to make headway in the market, what
challenges and hurdles must be overcome in order for OLEDs to become
a mainstream product? The material science and manufacturing issues
as well as the ultimate industrial landscape will be discussed. |

Interaction of Display
and Applications Markets
Paul Semenza, Vice President, iSuppli Corp.
The electronic display is fundamentally dependent upon the
development and growth of applications markets. As a technology,
displays can drive the development of such applications, but often
at the price of profitability. With the increasing dominance of
TFT-LCDs, the development of new applications is critical to the
commercialization of new technologies. This talk will explore the
interaction of display technologies and applications markets and
will examine the prospects for emerging display technologies. |

AMLCD Substrates:
Trends in the LCD TV Era
Peter L Bocko, Vice President, Display Futures, Corning
Incorporated
This presentation from arguably the largest and most successful
infrastructure provider will discuss the four key themes that have
characterized the history of AMLCD substrates and are expected to
extend into the future fueled by continued evolution of the LCD-TV
platform and emerging portable applications. First, the
substrate-size innovations that have created capability for
large-sized panels and are changing the TV landscape will extend to
the practical 3-m limit. The invention of high-value
aluminosilicates, culminating in EAGLE XGÔ for AMLCD-TV can be
further expanded in innovative compositions optimized for the
polysilicon and OLED platform. Capacity expansions will continue to
deliver reliable supply aligned and paced with regional demand.
Finally, progress against the so-called LCD legacy issues will drive
increased attribute performance. |
