SID Releases 2006 Final Call for Papers
SID has issued the final call for papers for the 2006 SID
2006 Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition. The deadline for
abstract submissions for the SID 2006 is December 1, 2005.
SID 2005 saw the technical symposium extended from three
days to four after a record-high 450 papers were accepted for
oral and poster presentations. This year's symposium will
again be a four-day event. SID 2006 Program Chair Amal Ghosh
speculated that approximately 700 papers will be submitted
this year, and that about 400 would be accepted.
"Typically there are a lot of papers on OLEDs and LCD
technology," Ghosh said. "And I would think that
large-screen technology would be another topic that generates
a lot of paper proposals."
The Society will consider papers addressing any of the
conference's 12 symposium topics: Active-Matrix Devices;
Applications; Applied Vision/Human Factors; Display
Electronics; Display Manufacturing; Display Measurement;
Display Systems; Emissive Displays; FEDs and CRTs; Organic
Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs); Projection Displays; and
Liquid-Crystal and Other Non-Emissive Displays.
To download the final call for papers, which contains more
specifics on these categories as well as instructions for
submission, visit www.sid.org/conf/sid2006/call.pdf.
The 2006 SID Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition will take
place June 4-9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco,
California, USA. For more information on the conference, visit
www.sid2006.org.
SID 2005 Monday Seminars Now Available
on Interactive CD
For the first time, the SID 2005 Monday Seminars are now
available for purchase on CD. The CD features synchronized
audio and PowerPoint presentations from all* of the 2005
conference seminars, which explore the technical foundations,
recent technical advances, current state-of-the-art and future
trends in critical sectors of the display industry.
The 2005 seminar topics were: Small-Molecule OLEDs; AMLCDs
for Television; Flexible Displays; Light-Emitting Polymer
Technology; LCD-TV Electronics; Organic TFTs for FPDs*;
Advances in OLED Materials; Paper-Like Displays; LED and OLED
Backlights; OLED Manufacturing; Digital Cinema; and FEDs and
CNTs.
The CDs cost $400 for SID members, $450 for
non-members, $50 for seminar attendees. To
order, contact SID headquarters at (408) 977-1013, visit www.sid.org,
or e-mail to office@sid.org.
*The Organic TFTs for Flat-Panel Displays seminar is not
included on the CD.
Reminder: Nominations Being Accepted for
2005 Display of the Year Awards
Don't forget to send in your nominations for the 11th SID/Information
Display Magazine 2005 Display of the Year Awards (DYAs),
the industry's most prestigious awards. To be eligible, a
product must have been introduced and been commercially
available at some time between November 1, 2004 and December
31, 2005.
The awards categories have been tweaked for the 2005 DYAs.
Gold and Silver awards will be handed out in each of the
following three categories:
Display of the Year Award
This award is granted for a display with novel and outstanding
features such as new physical or chemical effects, or a new
addressing method. Examples of appropriate nominations are:
LC, plasma or OLED displays, bistable displays, or HDTV
displays with novel means of rendering fast-moving pictures.
Display Application of the Year Award
This award is granted for a novel and outstanding application
of display, where the display itself is not necessarily a new
device. Examples of appropriate nominations for this category
are: a camera with a display used as a view finder, a display
used as an electronic book, a mobile phone with a display or
displays used for still or moving pictures, or a novel
projection system with known display components.
Display Component of the Year Award
This award is granted for a novel component that has
significantly enhanced the performance of a display. A
component is sold as a separate part destined to be
incorporated into a display. A component may also include
display-enhancing materials and/or parts fabricated with new
processes. Examples of appropriate nominations in this
category are: a polarizer, an electrophoretic laminate, or an
LED used as a backlight.
To nominate a product, component or application for a 2005
Display of the Year Award, visit www.sid.org/awards/dya.html
and download the nomination form. The forms must be completed
entirely (including supporting documentation) and submitted by
December 31, 2005. Complete instructions for submitting
nominations are provided on the Web site.
The 2005 DYAs will be announced and presented at the 2006
SID International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, which
will take place June 4-9, 2006 in San Francisco. For more
information on the conference, visit www.sid2006.org.

UPCOMING SID EVENTS
IS&T/SID's 13th Color Imaging Conference
November 7-11, 2005
Scottsdale, Arizona
The 13th Color Imaging Conference (CIC13), co-organized by
SID and The Society for Imaging Science and Technology
(IS&T), will take place November 7-11, 2005 at The Caleo
Resort and Spa (formerly known as The SunBurst Resort) in
Scottsdale, Arizona. Color scientists, engineers,
technologists and others interested in color imaging will
gather to discuss its theoretical concerns and industrial
applications.
For more information on CIC13, including the preliminary
program and instructions on how to register, visit www.imaging.org/conferences/cic13.
12th International Display Workshops/Asia Display 2005

LEDs In Displays
One Day Technical and Business Conference
Organized by SID LA Chapter
January 13, 2006
Costa Mesa, California
SID's Los Angeles chapter will host a one-day focused
technical and business conference on the use of LEDs in
displays. The conference will take place on January 13, 2006,
at the Costa Mesa Country Club in Costa Mesa, California.
The conference will examine the state of the art and
fundamentals of high-brightness LEDs and non-imaging optics (NIO);
provide background for further technical papers that will
cover the latest information in the use of LEDs (White &
RGB) in applications ranging from microdisplays to large-scale
non-emissive displays. Display applications that will be
covered include microdisplays (goggles to RPHDTVs/LCoS to MEMS),
LCDs (from small-diagonal color STN to large-screen AMLCD
panels with expanded color gamut); and direct view and
projection, including color field-sequential imaging (CSFI).
To view the Advanced Program and for information on how to
register, visit http://www.sidchapters.org/la.
