Title: Portable & IoT Display Challenges & Opportunities, Looking Ahead 1~5 years

Abstract: The display industry has experienced significant growth, in technology, applications, and recently: even profitability. But as new applications and content arise, the compromises we’ve come to accept as part of nature of modern systems with displays, are/will-be facing very difficult challenges. The presentation will cover some of the key issues, market dynamics, and reasons why customers and consumers will be expecting better for portable & IoT (Internet of Things) devices with displays. As well as some of the key areas, with opportunities for successfully adapting display applications, to embrace the revolution.
