Redefining the “I” in SID

Since the founding of Society for Information Display (SID) in 1962, we've witnessed decades incredible innovations display technology. Following early proliferation cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, new waves visual technologies materialized with advent plasma panels (PDPs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), electronic paper (EPDs), and other inventions. Emerging technologies, such as microLEDs, have potential to disrupt field, especially because applications also continue evolve. Today, enable nearly every aspect human life, including entertainment, communications, transportation, education, productivity, healthcare, beyond. Yet there is another important consider terms progression—displays are becoming primary interface user interaction a broad range devices. Whether it's computers, mobile devices, augmented virtual reality (AR/VR) headsets, medical equipment, smartwatches, or automotive infotainment systems, no longer only screen showing content. It represents that facilitates interaction. The system which play crucial role include image capture, processing, storage, transmission, display, well additional human-interface audio haptics. Recent advances computer graphics vision, aided by breakthroughs artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning techniques, enabling exciting intelligent interactive systems applications. ecosystem SID serves increasingly includes these end-to-end imaging vision technologies. This what this article's title means, “Redefining ‘I’ SID.” As landscape industry enabled technology evolve, now time move beyond focusing narrowly on “information” (the original “I” SID) toward rich world “imaging” In way, we an opportunity broaden scope our impact value consumers. According DSCC's Quarterly Flat Panel Forecast Report, represented $128 billion 2022 expected reach $141 2027.1 Add market sensors, $31.4 20272—and AI software, hardware, services, predicted be more than $500 20233—and opportunities clear. evolution means providers can deliver greater vendors offer top-of-the-line products added algorithms, capabilities enhance user's experience. enhanced processing deeper immersion, anticipate intention intuitive interactions. has been society since always will at its heart.
