SID's annual Display Week Symposium brings together hundreds of speakers for both oral and poster paper presentations. Papers are solicited in all aspects of the research, engineering, application, evaluation, and utilization of displays and visual information technology. The 2021 symposium features many new and expanded topics that reflect the display industry’s growth into fresh areas and emerging technologies. Topics of special focus for this year’s conference are Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality/Mixed Reality (AR/VR/MR), Machine Learning for Displays, HDR in mini, micro LED, OLED and LCD, and IoT and AIot Displays.

Daily content will be published each day at 9pm PDT on the previous day and will remain available throughout the week.
