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.
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?
Ross Young is the co-founder and CEO of DSCC. Previously, he started, ran and sold DisplaySearch which he started with less than $500 in capital and grew to over $10M in revenues. He has also worked throughout the display supply chain including at a TV brand, panel supplier, multiple equipment suppliers and a materials supplier.
Shortly after completing graduate school at UCSD and Japan’s Tohoku University in International Management, Young published a book on the semiconductor industry called Silicon Sumo: US-Japan Competition and Industrial Policy in the Semiconductor Equipment Industry published by the University of Texas.
Young also completed 12 IRONMAN triathlons including the World Championships in Kona in 2016.

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
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.

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“.
