Display Week 2011 event in Los Angeles jointly by SID and DisplaySearch

The Society for Information Display (SID) together with DisplaySearch has unveiled the final agenda for this year's SID DisplaySearch Business Conference. The conference presentations will focus on market and investment trends in the Chinese display business, regional and investment trends in the display supply chain, 3D technology, and mobile devices.

This year's event is once again part of Display Week 2011-SID's annual International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition-which will be held May 15-20, 2011, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, Calif. Taking place on Monday, May 16, the one-day event will be anchored by DisplaySearch analysts presenting in-depth market analysis and the latest forecasts. In addition, the SID DisplaySearch Business Conference will feature information-rich presentations from top executives of leading companies throughout the display supply chain.

"We are pleased to collaborate with DisplaySearch again this year. The topics to be covered reflect the ongoing expansion of the display industry, both in global reach and in technological applications. China is a fast-growing market, particularly for TV displays - not only is it entering the flat-panel TV era, but we also expect it to be the largest market for LCD TVs this year. In the meantime, 3D technology continues its steady growth, while mobile devices remain a primary driver for innovation throughout the display arena. This event promises to deliver interesting insight into the next wave of developments in our industry," noted SID President, Dr. Munisamy Anandan.

"Each year, the SID DisplaySearch Business Conference sets the stage for Display Week-providing an in-depth look at the market trends and outlook for the technologies that will be showcased and discussed during the SID exhibitions," noted Paul Semenza, senior vice president of analyst services for DisplaySearch. "Covering topics such as the growth of display manufacturing and demand in China, 3D, and the impact of mobile devices on the PC market, this year's event will be no exception," Semenza added.
