One-Day Conference
SAVE the Date: February 10, 2023

 

2023 Registration Now Closed


The annual SID LA Chapter One-Day Conference returns to LIVE presentations, a luncheon, and exhibitors for 2023!  It’s an excellent opportunity to meet display experts in person, see some old friends, and learn about crucial display technologies and market trends.  Will we see the rise of near-eye displays? Will we see improved and novel Micro LEDs? How have lasers revolutionized projection displays? How will a larger color gamut and improved HMI enhance viewer experience?  This year's One Day Symposium will update you on these technology areas and help you assess when we can expect to see them in commercially available products.

Although the venue has changed – at the DoubleTree in Buena Park – the conference objectives are the same: in-person presentations by respected experts in pertinent areas of display technology, with an expanded opportunity to ask questions and engage them directly during breaks and at lunch.  The topics include:

1. Display Market Analysis
2. QDOT TV
3. Projection Displays
4. Wide color gamut and HDR
5. Micro LEDs
6. Near-eye displays (AR/VR) 

Speakers

1. Ross Young, Co-Founder & CEO, DSCC
2. Pete Palomaki, Chief Scientist, Palomaki Consulting
3. David Eccles, Consultant, Display Systems
4. Phillip Warren , Research and Development in Image Technology
5. Seth Coe-Sullivan, Co-founder and President, NS Nanotech
6. Bernard Kress, Optical Engineering - AR hardware, Google

The presentations are followed by an extended Q&A time for interacting with the speakers and attendees, networking with your display colleagues, and opportunities to discuss your design and test challenges with exhibitors.  In all, a refreshing change from your virtual conferences and Zoom meetings!

Please save the date and join our panel of display experts at the SID LA Chapter One-Day Symposium.  We look forward to seeing you on February 10, 2023. Here is the program schedule.
 
 
Abstract
 
This talk will feature DSCC’s latest display market and technology outlook. It will focus on:
•    The latest results for 2022 display revenues and shipments by market and technology;
•    DSCC’s latest long term forecast through 2027 by technology, market, fab schedules, capacity, etc.
•    How display technology performance and market share is likely to evolve as OLED, MiniLED LCD and MicroLED competition heats up. OLEDs will keep getting better with tandem OLED stacks, phosphorescent blue OLED emitters, G8.7 high mobility oxide backplanes and G8.7 fine metal mask vacuum thermal evaporation boosting display brightness, efficiency and lifetimes while lowering cost. In the LCD camp, MiniLED backlights bring premium performance with costs that are expected to fall rapidly. While LCDs and OLEDs continue to improve, the emerging threat of MicroLEDs looms. Which technology is best positioned for long term success?

Abstract

Quantum Dot enabled displays have become a mainstay of modern display technology, especially in the TV segment. QD-films are the most commonly utilized form factor used to convert blue LED light to red and green for wide color gamut and high brightness. However more recently QD-OLED has become a top-tier display using QDs to convert from blue OLED at the sub-pixel level, providing an amazing viewing experience. We take a peek inside TVs that contain QDs, from the basic QD-film approach, through the newest QD-OLED approach. Using in-depth optical and spectral analysis and complete video teardowns we will start with the entire display and drill all the way down to the details of the QDs themselves, learning a bit along the way about how these materials are utilized now and into the future.

Abstract 

 

The state-of-the-art of projection technology and applications will be covered. It will start with a brief history of significant developments in projectors and components and explain how they have led to the current-day projectors and applications. Technology will cover DLP, LCoS and LCD imagers; light engines; and light sources including LED and laser. Applications will include consumer, cinema, flight simulator and industrial products. Industry leading projectors products will be reviewed as well as what the future holds in store. 

Biography

Dave Eccles has 47 years of experience in display systems including projectors and flat panel displays for consumer, industrial, and military electronics. He has extensive experience developing projection technology and applying it to products, systems and aircraft flight simulators. 

Dave served as SID Vice-President for the Americas 2002-2004; most recently he was responsible for updating the Projection Milestone Technology chart for SID Display Week. He continues serve on the peer review committee evaluating projector and display system technology papers. He has served on industry boards and standards committees. Dave has authored papers for technical journals and magazines and has presented at display conferences.

His roles in displays have included VP of design engineering and manufacturing at Sony where his team developed the first HDTV to market in the USA. His career has taken him from Hughes Aircraft Company with the development of the precursor of LCoS projectors, to Sony, to international consulting, then to Colins Aerospace for projector-based flight simulators.
 

Abstract

High Dynamic Range, or HDR, holds an intense promise with the stunning imagery it offers- yet is not perfectly understood by consumers.  Here we define HDR through specs and standards, discuss what HDR can be when appropriately implemented, reveal why it can fall short of expectations, and emphasize why it's so important that we hold content creators to a higher standard to prevent viewer disillusionment.  We'll cover broadcast, streaming, and cinema applications.

Biography

Abstract

Mass adoption of AR,VR and MR headsets as gateways to Metaverse use cases and smart glasses for contextual displays is contingent on solving all three immersive displays comfort pillars: wearable, visual and social. To do so, novel display architectures need to be developed and implemented, a step beyond the traditional direct view and/or display engine + optical combiner concepts which ruled the past decades of product developments in this field. Novel multifunctional display building blocks integrating both image generation, image combining as well as sensing in a monolithic transparent hybrid optoelectronic component are key to designing effective all-day use forgettable smart glasses. Such hybrid functional integration on a transparent substrate require major developments in display technologies, micro-optical engineering as well as in novel computational display algorithms based on multi-path planar architectures“.
