SID
Symposium and Show Returns to Boston
Big
display technology event to feature OLEDs, less expensive
projection displays, displays for portable devices, display
interfaces, plasma
display panels, really big LCDs, and much more.
January 18,
2002 – After four years on the West Coast, The Society for
Information Display’s Annual Symposium, Seminar, and
Exhibition returns to Boston’s Hynes Convention Center from
May 19 to 24 for its 33rd incarnation. The symposium is
recognized as the international display industry’s leading
event. With well over 500 booths reserved to date, the SID 2002
exhibition promises to be the largest display show ever held in
North America.
Display Week will
kick off with half-day short courses on Sunday May 19 and a
program of 90-minute seminars on Monday May 20, which will
continue the successful format that stresses tracks keyed to hot
industry trends, including OLEDs, projection technology, plasma,
and LCDs. The seminars, which continue on Friday May 24, are
being taught by an impressive group of instructors, including
David Mentley (Stanford Resources), who leads off with a display
technology and market overview, Tatsuo Uchida on reflective
displays, Nobuki Ibaraki on polysilicon
TFTs for active-matrix displays, Larry Weber on color plasma
displays, Bob Meyers on digital interfaces, Terry Scheffer and
Juergen Nehring on STN-LCDs, Kimberly Allen on microdisplays,
Mark Leadbeater on OLED technology, and many others.
A rich
multi-track menu of technical symposium papers, vendor exhibits,
application tutorials, and special events held from Tuesday May
21 to Thursday May 23 will provide designers, manufacturers,
marketers, integrators, and end users of displays with rewarding
choices, whatever their technical interests. The technical
sessions, which are likely to contain over 300 papers, will be
anchored with 25 invited papers.
At the Wednesday
luncheon, the Seventh Annual SID/Information Display Display of
the Year Awards will be presented. The winners of this year’s
Gold Awards are Rainbow Displays’ large tiled LCD display,
Minolta’s DiMAGE 7 digital still camera with microdisplay
viewfinder, and Alien Technology’s fluidic self-assembly
process.
