Leuven.Inc Visionary seminar: Display technologies of the future

Since a few years, the traditional cathode ray tube or CRT, has been replaced largely by flat panel displays. It started with laptops, followed by displays for desktop computers and now flat-panel televisions are starting to become mainstream. Thanks to the flat-panel display technology, high-quality screens can be integrated in applications where size, weight and power consumption dominate. New technology developments are not limited to TFT-LCDs, but include plasma screens, projection imaging for home theaters, flexible displays for electronic newspapers and bi-stable displays got ultra-low power applications. During this seminar the speakers will give an overview of these new technologies and their opportunities for new applications.
