Symposium Topics
The Society for Information Display (SID) presents original papers on all aspects of the research, engineering, application, evaluation, and utilization of displays. Display Week 2013 will feature topical sessions that focus specifically on selected issues or key developments.
The Society will include coverage of every aspect of display technology and applications, especially the emergence of 3D TV. Special attention will also be given to all aspects of novel input technologies for displays. Areas include all aspects of motion-image technology, including device technology (LCD, OLED, PDP, projector, etc.) and related system technology. Papers on technology development that enables lower-power-consumption and higher-performance display devices for battery-powered applications (mobile phones, tablets, e-books, etc.) are scheduled for presentation.
Active-Matrix Devices: Advances in the innovative development and implementation of active-matrix electronics into displays and other devices. Active-Matrix Devices focus on TFTs themselves, their circuit design and application, including TFTs electrical/optical characteristics, reliability, new structures, and processing.
Applications: Papers discuss unique and innovative applications of all varieties of display technologies for consumer, industrial, commercial, and military fields.
Applied Vision / Human Factors: All aspects of vision, perception, and human factors as they apply to the design, image quality, and usability of all types of visual display systems.
Display Electronics: Circuits (integrated or otherwise) for displays, image- and video-processing algorithms, and electronic components for displays.
Display Manufacturing: Materials, process, and equipment developments for the manufacturing and assembly of display panels and display components.
