ASIA Display '95

Abstract The ultra-modern ACT City Complex of Hamamatsu was this year's venue for Asia Display' 95. Formerly known as Japan Display, the renaming of the series of International Display Research Conferences recognizes the growth of the display industry in Asia, and the increasing importance of the region to the world economy. More than 40 per cent of a total of over 200 talks and poster presentations were specifically concerned with liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and following the Conference were whole day workshops on Advanced LCDs and LCD colour filters. Without being biased it is fair to say that LCDs dominated the Conference, although advances in multicoloured Electroluminescent Displays, large area Plasma Displays and Field Emission Displays showed that the LC Display Industry cannot afford to be complacent about rival technologies.
