SID Display Week is the biggest and most important conference in the area of Display Research. The SID Display week has a special section for the innovative technologies for displays called the I-Zone where the leading Industries and Universities get a chance to showcase their latest technologies. This year 50 companies were selected to showcase their prototypes at the I-Zone. From among these, the I-Zone committee, which is composed of many experts from various areas of displays, selected the Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Display to receive the award.
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 motion-image technology, including device technology (LCD, OLED, projector, etc.) and the emergence of Wearable and Vehicle Displays. Papers are also solicited in the area of technology development that enables lower-power-consumption and higher-performance displays for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, e-Books, etc.).
