Chinese Displays, Light-Field Displays, and Automotive Technology Lead Trends at Display Week 2015

摘要

One of the best aspects of Display Week is discovering how much progress has been made from one year to the next. Sometimes this progress is expected or hoped for -remember when the big OLED TVs finally hit the show floor a couple of years ago? Sometimes it is surprising - be sure to read about micro-LEDs in contributor Ken Werner's Display Week review on materials in this issue. This year, the editors of Display Week compared notes after the show about what really impressed us. We came up with three major themes: working light-field demonstrations, an aggressive ramp-up in the area of vehicle displays (they were everywhere at the show), and, last but not least, some major demos of large-area displays from Chinese manufacturers. Our team of roving reporters blogged from the show about what they saw: Tom Fiske alerted us to what was going on in metrology; Steve Sechrist covered microdisplays, near-to-eye, and 3D; Ken Werner looked at new materials; and Geoff Walker wrote about touch. If you missed these blog entries before, you can read them again. And you can read their full articles on metrology, microdisplays and 3D, and materials in this issue.
