Scientific and Technical Symposium

The Program of the Scientific and Technical Symposium is international in scope and covers the latest state-of-the-art innovations from around the world in a wide variety of relevant topics on displays and related technologies such as:

• All display technologies including plasma displays (PDPs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs) e-paper, 3D displays, electro-luminescent displays (ELDs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), field emission displays (FEDs) flexible displays, projection displays, LED displays, etc.;
• Touch screens, tablets and other peripherals:
• Solar cells (Si-based, hybrid and dye sensitized, CIGS, etc.)
• Backlight units (BLUs) for LCDs and components (enhancement foils, lamps, inverters, etc.)
• Lighting (LED, OLED, fluorescent, etc.)
• Optical devices
• Thin film devices
• Ergonomics, human factors and visual perception, etc.
• Organic electronics
• Batteries
• Nanotechnology
• Image processing, systems software and display processing hardware (drivers, controller, video processors, digital video format converters, etc.)
• Applications in medical imaging, TV, telephony, automotive, aeronautics, advertising, signage, education, multimedia, electronic cinema, etc.
• Interconnectivity, usability and access to multiple sources of content

For all these technologies the following aspects will be covered:

• Materials
• Chemical and physical processes
• Device and process modeling
• Equipment, instruments and tools
• Electronics and ICs for addressing, controlling, testing, etc.
• Packaging, printed circuit board, assembly, display backplane electronics, connections and metallization, etc.
• Measuring, calibration, standards and metrology, testing, qualification and reliability
• Manufacturing encompassing: processes; process and equipment integration; data mining; yield management; cluster tools; supply/value chain management from component/instrument/software to process equipment; modeling; sensors, control and support technology; contamination-free manufacturing; etc.
• Environmental issues
• Commercialization, end-consumers, retailing, distribution, etc.
• Market overview and forecast
• Strategic and economic evaluation of technologies; business strategy analysis and recommendations

The Symposium will consist of invited lectures and contributed paper presentations (oral and poster sessions).
