Asian Symposium
on Information Display Opens Opportunities in Nanjing
November 18, 2003
- The 8th Asian Symposium on Information Display (ASID) will be
held February 14-17, 2004, in Nanjing, China, ancient capital of
the Six Dynasties and one of the key economic cities in modern
China. ASID has become one of the major regional information
display conferences organized by the Society for Information
Display (SID). The purpose of the conference is to provide a
friendly and collegial environment for display researchers to
present their work and exchange information. It covers all
aspects of display science and technology, and their commercial
applications.
Although the
majority of attendees are traditionally from the Asian region,
attendees from other regions are warmly welcomed. Because of the
meeting's modest scale - typically several hundred registrants -
and collegial tradition, it offers an excellent opportunity for
industry representatives from other regions to establish
relationships with Chinese and other Asian display professionals
and business executives.
ASID will have an
extensive technical program of high quality. Among the ASID
keynote addresses will be Opening Dreams in the Display World
with PDP, by Tsutae Shinoda, SID Fellow (Fujitsu
Laboratories); and Recent Developments in OLEDs, by Ching
W. Tang (Eastman Kodak), one of the inventors of the OLED
display. Technology tutorials will be given on PDPs (by Harm
Tolner, PDP Consultant), CRTs (Tsunenari Saito, Tokyo Cathode
Laboratory), TFT-LCDs (Vladimir Chigrinov, HKUST), and OLEDs
(Yong Qiu, Tsinghua University).
In addition to a
full program of contributed technical papers, there will be more
than 20 invited papers. Among them are 20" Color
Printable Field Emission Display Prototype (Tailiang Guo,
Fuzhou University), High Resolution OLED Patterning Using
Laser Transfer Technology (Seong Taek Lee, Samsung SDI), The
Development and Characterization of a New Type 42-inch PDP
Driver and Set (Xiaolin Yan, TCL Corporation), System on
Glass Display Technologies (Setsuo Kaneko, NEC Corp.), High-resolution
Flexible AMLCD on Plastic Substrate (Jin Jang, Kyung Hee
University, Seoul), and The Future of the CRT Industry and
Electron Gun Design (Hsing-Yao Chen, Southeast University,
Nanjing).
An Evening Panel
of eminent industry leaders includes, among others; Samuel S.
Chung (SAIT, Korea); Harm Tolner (PDP Consultant, Eindhoven, The
Netherlands); and Xiaolin Yan (TCL Corporation, Huizhou, China);
Kei-Hsiung Yang (Hannstar, Taiwan); Shoji Shirai (Hitachi,
Chiba, Japan); Daniel den Engelsen (LG.Philips Displays,
Eindhoven, The Netherlands). TCL is China's largest TV
manufacturer and, as a result of its recent Memorandum of
Understanding with Thomson, is slated to be the largest TV
manufacturer in the world. The Evening Panel, moderated by Ken
Werner, Editor of Information Display magazine, will
provide answers to the question, "When will PDP-TV and/or
LCD-TV Overtake CRT-TV in China?" "We expect a lively
discussion that will raise many issues concerning the Chinese
television and display markets, and we anticipate an
enthusiastic session of questions both from audience members and
the panelists themselves," said Werner.
The ASID
symposium and accompanying exhibition will be held at the
Zhongshan Hotel in Nanjing. For registration, hotel, and
