SID Display Week: Celebrating 60 Years of Innovation

THIS YEAR'S DISPLAY WEEK, THE ANNUAL International Symposium, Seminar, and Exhibition organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), is being held May 21–26 at Los Angeles Convention Center. It's occurring 60 years after first annual event was in same city. On this anniversary, I want to reflect on where we are today. All around us, witnessing transformations ways interact with technologies devices. Today's human-technology interfaces more natural, intuitive, interactive than ever before, visual displays center. We've seen evolution of human inputs from joysticks, mice keyboards, touchscreens. Now voice vision emerging as next wave. With continued developments artificial intelligence (AI), natural based touch, voice, poised become primary that New products markets have been driven innovators who capitalized new interaction paradigms. A driving force widespread proliferation personal computers advent mouse keyboard, modern smartphones were largely made possible because touch interfaces, among other key enabling technologies, including flat-panel displays. virtual augmented reality (VR/AR) devices emerging, benefiting computer innovations inside-out tracking gesture control interfaces. The significance continuing transformation industry SID serves cannot be overstated. no longer about just designing manufacturing a display screen shows information. entire system must considered together—from vision, sensors see, hear, feel inputs, AI algorithms understand intention enable respond through display. Engineers information flow architect integrated systems value provides our members supporting them delivering greater their customers, so owe it expand focus encompass end-to-end imaging technologies. explained drive “redefine ‘I’ SID” last issue (ID). backdrop, would like share some highlights Week 2023 program. well known its expansive exhibition international symposium, year exception.
