The SID (Society for Information Displays) conference is the leading Display trade show, and SID 2010 will take place towards the end of May (23/5 till the 28/5). What can we expect from this show?
SID is not a consumer oriented show, and usually companies do not show new products - so we don't expect any new phones or an OLED TV. But we do hope that some companies will show us new medium/large OLED panels that are ready for production.
Several companies are working on white-OLEDs as a backlight for LCD TVs - this old idea seems to be coming back to life. LG Display will be showing a 15" TV using such a design, which they say have a 130,000 hours lifetime (at 1000 nits).
Other interesting technologies discussed will include 3D Displays, Pico-Projectors and e-paper displays.
