Opening
Address: OLED: From Hype to Business, Gildas Sorin,
CEO, Novaled AG
The recent introduction of the first AMOLED displays on the market
bring the performances and design advantages of OLED to public
notice. These first products reveal in fact that OLED's have reached
a maturity level compatible with a real market start. A review of
technical advances but also the business moves towards an
established industry will be presented. |

Global Display Market
Dynamics and Perspective, Kenny Kim, Executive VP,
DisplayBank
The recent announcement of Sony's collaboration with Sharp
facilitated the Taiwan LCD makers' willingness to partner with major
TV brands. Accordingly, this presentation will focus on the choices
that the Korean display companies like Samsung and LG Display face
in the future; and more so on the attempts to answer the question:
Who could be the leader of the AMOLED, post LCD industry |

Display Technology
Forecasts for Wireless Applications, Michael Lebby, President
Optoelectronics Industry Development Association
Wireless applications are one of the fast growing market segments
for displays, but at the same time impose high demands on
performance, robustness and power consumption. The talk will present
market analyses of both application trends and competing
technologies for these applications. |

The TV Market and its
Impact on the Display Business as Whole, Paul
Semenza, Vice President, Displays, iSuppli Corporation
This presentation will include an analysis of consumer
preferences, an assessment of technology competition, highlight
company strategies, and opportunities in the TV supply chain. The
presentation will draw on several areas of iSuppli's research,
including monthly consumer surveys with TV customers, research on
the global TV market (including the US, Europe, Asia, and BRIC
counties), research on LCD, PDP, and other display technologies, and
tracking of display components, manufacturing, and technology
developments. |

More Behind the Glass,
Lisa Ferrero, Vice President and Deputy General Manager, Corning
Display Technologies
In this presentation, we will discuss how Corning offers more behind
the glass, applying our technology expertise and our long history of
research and development to collaborate with customers on
industry-advancing solutions to market needs. We will review the
progress of recent innovations and discuss several emerging display
technologies, including polysilicon and OLED, green lasers and
silicon on glass. |

The Fast Track for LEDs
into Large-Area LCDs - Leveraging Consumer Valuation of LED Features,
Steve Marsland, Managing Director of the McLaughlin Consulting
Group
LED backlights can deliver improvements in color gamut, contrast,
weight and thickness for LCD notebooks, monitors and TVs. But what
will consumers pay for these improved features? Are the price
premiums enough to pay the added costs? McLaughlin Consulting Group
(MCG) has developed a methodology to forecast consumer adoption
rates for LED-backlit LCDs based on both pricing and forecast
technical performance improvements. Via this analysis the "fast
track" for rapid LED adoption can be determined, and target
markets and price points for fastest adoption identified. |

Reflective
Displays: Enabling Mobile Devices of the Future, Jim Cathey,
VP of Business Development, Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc.
This presentation will discuss how these displays of the future will
allow consumers to enjoy the full range of applications that today's
mobile devices have the potential to offer. The panel will also
discuss barriers inhibiting the adoption of reflective displays into
the consumer market and methods to overcome them. Among these are
metrics that represent display performance under actual viewing
conditions and benchmarks that highlight handset performance
increases due to increased energy efficiency. |

New Era Markets: The
Bright Light in the Front Projector Display Business, Dr.
William Coggshall, President, Pacific Media Associates
Flat panel displays get the headlines, but the big story is in the
front projector market. While forecasts for traditional applications
call for little growth, new applications promise to deliver dizzying
growth rates. Many are drawn to these new markets, but a thorough
understanding of the opportunities and technology roadmaps is
essential for success. |

Patent and Intellectual
Property Issues in Display Technology, Song Jung,
Partner and Head of IP Practive, McKenna, Long and Aldridge
Intellectual Property laws are changing and becoming increasingly
important in display manufacturing. This talk will address issues of
the impending U.S. patent reform oon the display business and steps
companies can take to minimize risk. |

Turning Solution
Processed OLED Displays into Reality, William Feehery, Global
Business Director, DuPont
Recent announcements by many companies have shown the market
interest and technical possibilities for AMOLEDs, but the potential
manufacturing cost advantages of AMOLED displays over AMLCDs has not
yet been realized due to the high costs of manufacturing using
current vapor-deposition methods. DuPont Displays is developing
solution processing technology to address the manufacturing cost
issues seen in the marketplace. By printing OLED displays instead of
using vapor-deposition, we can reduce the use of high vacuum
equipment and shadowmasks, and subsequently scale OLED manufacturing
to a competitive motherglass size. DuPont Displays has demonstrated
performance of solution OLED materials at similar levels to vapor
deposition OLED materials. By using small molecule materials DuPont
has been able to take advantage of many years of industry knowledge
on how to make and purify OLED materials. Our materials breakthrough
has been the development of a set of small molecule materials which
have been tailored for printing and coating processes. |

The Explosion of Touch,
the Critical User Interface, Malcolm Thompson, President MJT
Associates
Following the release of the i-phone, touch has become a very hot
area in a wide range of products like cell phones, other consumer
products, auto displays and computers. There are a wide range of
technologies available, the relative attributes of all these
technologies will be discussed; can any one technology dominate all
applications? |

Going Small AMLCDs,
Dr. Hong Choi, Chief Technology Officer, Kopin Corp.
What are the technical objectives / challenges? If successful, what
markets will you address? What are your entry points? What is the
growth strategy? What can be applied to high pixel count larger form
factor AMLCDs? Where do you see competition and how are you better? |
