Luminaries From Display Industry And Academia Take Center Stage At Display Week 2018CAMPBELL, Calif., May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for Information Display (SID) has announced further details regarding exciting programming for its upcoming Display Week International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, in Los Angeles, Calif. During the keynote session on Tuesday morning, May 22, a prestigious group of industry visionaries will delve into forward-looking topics including OLEDs' role in the "Internet of Everything," reactive display technology for advanced AR/VR systems, and how new display materials can help enable a more sustainable world. On Wednesday, May 23, an invaluable glimpse into the mindsets of top industry leaders will be provided in two dynamic back-to-back afternoon panels: "CEO Forum: Lessons Learned" and "Taking on the World: Women in Tech." "Display Week, now in its 55th year, is nearly unparalleled in its longevity. The electronic information display industry has seen more change in the last decade than in the last 50 years, contributing to the event's ongoing appeal to the global value chain/ecosystem," said Sri Peruvemba, chair of marketing for SID. "Each year, the keynote session taps into subjects that are top-of-mind for attendees, who represent companies throughout the electronic display ecosystem. For 2018, we are bringing back our Women in Tech Forum, which debuted last year to rave reviews, with a dynamic new group of participants. In addition, we are unveiling our first-ever CEO Forum featuring lessons learned from industry leadership. These sessions – together with the exhibition, seminars, symposia, and targeted-topic conferences scheduled throughout the week – will be sure to spark attendee interest and discussion." Keynote Session – 8:20-10:20 a.m., May 22 VIsionox CEO Deqiang Zhang will kick off the keynotes with a talk titled "OLED Leading to New Experience of Display." Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) made their debut 31 years ago thanks to the pioneering work of Eastman Kodak engineers Ching Tang and Steven Van Slyke. In the three decades since this breakthrough, advancements in OLED have enabled construction of flexible displays, helping make screen truly ubiquitous. Dr. Zhang will touch on these advancements, including the role that OLED displays will play as the "Internet of Everything" era continues to advance. Next, Douglas Lanman, director of computational imaging for Oculus Research/Facebook, will turn the discussion toward the growing augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) markets in his address, "Reactive Displays: Unlocking Next-Generation VR/AR Visuals with Eye Tracking." Today's head-mounted displays offer superior personal visual experiences compared to past direct-view. In particular, sensing elements with individualized eye tracking are helpin improve fields of view and offer greater possibilities to designers. Dr. Lanman will discuss the concept of reactive displays and how they may impact VR/AR technology going forward. The third keynote, "Blue LEDs and Transformative Electronics for Developing a Sustainable Smart Society," will be delivered by Nobel Laureate Hiroshi Amano, director of the Center for Integrated Research of Future Electronics at Nagoya University and a professor in the university's Institute for Materials and Systems for Sustainability. Dr. Amano will explore how gallium nitride (GaN) and related nitride-based materials can contribute to reductions in greenhouse gases, and will discuss the opportunities these materials afford for replacing conventional semiconductors in new display systems. Afternoon Forums – 2:30-5:30 p.m., May 23 CEO Forum – 2:30-3:30 p.m. Moderator: Sri Peruvemba, Head of Marketing, SID
