Emerging Display Market Overview

9:50 AM - 10:55 AM |
Session I: Touch Demands and Applications
The growth in touch screens over the past few years has been driven by smartphones and tablet PCs. While these two applications will continue to account for the majority of touch screen unit demand, there are other applications that could become significant in terms of area and revenue. The PC market – both mobile and desktop – has been held up as a good example, especially with the release of Windows 8. Other large screen applications such as digital signage and kiosks, are also candidates. This session will explore how touch screen applications will evolve.

Session II: Touch Sensor Technologies and Developments
Driven by physical, performance, and cost requirements, as well as the development of new materials and technologies, touch sensor structures are evolving rapidly. In addition to the reduction in number of sensor layers (in some cases to full integration with the display or cover glass) and the shift from glass to film, a variety of transparent conductor materials are being developed to replace ITO. Various approaches to sensor structure and implementation will be presented in this session.

Session III: Mobility and Wearable Computing
While wearable devices are not new applications for displays – watches were one of the first applications for LCDs and near-eye devices have come on and off the market several times over the past few decades – the advent of cloud services, instant messaging, and social networks have created new demand for the ability to provide instant access to data and information. Wearable devices, in conjunction with advanced-generation cellular and broadband communications, can enable access to data without having to pick up a device or put one’s hands on a keyboard. Is this time different for such devices? This session will provide a view into this developing category.

Session IV: Materials and Manufacturing
The shift in market demand to high resolution displays, in terms of total number of pixels and pixel density, as well as wide viewing angles and low power consumption, highlights the need for improved materials and manufacturing processes. Other technologies, such as AMOLED and integrated touch, also pose manufacturing challenges. This session will explore new developments in processes for high performance display manufacturing.

|
4:25 PM - 5:40 PM |
Session V: Novel Display Technologies
With the exception of AMOLED, LCD continues its reign as the dominant flat panel display technology. As has always been the case, however, LCD is not a perfect technology. New types of flat panel displays are being developed that could enable better performance, lower cost, or can be made in forms that are not possible for LCDs. This session will highlight several new approaches.
