2018 IMID “Display Industry Forum”

Thursday, Aug 30, 2018

Room E(#311~312), BEXCO, Busan

The purpose of the IMID “Display Industry Forum” is to explore business issues facing the display industry. We believe there is always uncertainty regarding the outlook for the cyclical display supply chain. In addition, there are numerous technologies currently impacting the near and long term outlook of the display supply chain which also warrant significant attention including large sized OLEDs, quantum dot color filters, micro LEDs and more. As a result, we are proposing the following agenda, which is subject to change, which addresses the near term display supply chain outlook as well as looks into emerging technologies and materials which could significantly impact the display market outlook. It will also examine where there are opportunities for elevated growth and profits in the display supply chain as a result of these emerging technologies.
