Display Technology Market Size

• Displays are key components in most electronic
  systems

• Display component market is expanding rapidly
• Top tier display companies expect to grow have
  40 revenue growth in 2004

Introduction to Display Technology

• Display technology is extremely multidisciplinary
• Displays are not devices, each is an integrated
  system
• Display technology requires extensive RD and
  manufacturing infrastructure
• Diverse applications, variety of device
  technologies

Role of IEEE in Display Technology

• IEEE member societies do not have a highly
  visible role in Display technology
• No major IEEE conferences on display technology
• Little emphasis on display related research in
  IEEE Journals
• Several IEEE Societies have technical committees
  with displays as a theme
• CES and BTS Advanced Television Systems
  Committee
• LEOS Displays Committee
• EDS Displays, Sensors and MEMS Committee
• SSCS Display Electronics
• Multidisciplinary nature of display technology
  makes it difficult to have a single IEEE entity
  which could support our member needs

On the Need for a New IEEE Journal

• Large number of IEEE members work in the display
  industry
• Display technology is multidisciplinary,
  difficult to have a single IEEE entity such as a
  technical council
• In addition, Society for Information Display
  (SID) is well established to represent display
  industry
• SID mainly focuses industrial and marketing
  audience
• SID Conferences are well managed, SID 2003 6
  days, 500 papers, 5700 attendees, 451 booths
• Same can not be said about SID publications
• J of SID and Displays (Elsevier) are not well
  recognized
• Development of a new IEEE Journal of Display
  Technology presents opportunity to create 1
  journal
• Opportunity to attract large number of display
  researchers to the institute

9
Competition J. of SID
Papers from sourced from conferences 3-4 issues a
year

• SID membership grew 400 in 10 yrs vs. 500
  growth in the display industry
• J. SID does not reflect growth in society
  membership or display industry
• J. SID - few library subscriptions
• Few citations, ISI Impact Factor of 0.357 (2002)

10
Competition - Displays (Elsevier)

• Elsevier has been publishing Displays for over 15
  years
• Displays focus is on application of displays
  technology and human factor issues

• 2002 Statistics
• Published 29 papers in 4 issues
• ISI Impact Factor 0.357
• 152 citations

11
Prospects for a New IEEE Journal

• Display industry is going through tremendous
  growth
• 100B industry, expected to grow rapidly over the
  next ten years, 40 growth in 2004
• A large number of IEEE members work in the
  display industry
• Journal provides for retaining and increasing
  membership
• Prospects for new members from the Far East and
  Europe
• Potential to create 1 display technology journal

12
Logistics for a new IEEE Journal

• LEOS BoG voted to support the new journal
• TAB - New Technology Breakout in Seattle
  discussed the topic and supports the idea
• Participation from EDS, CES, IAS, SSCS, CPMT
• EDS, CES Publications Committees support the new
  journal, planning for AdCom vote
• CPMT, SSCS, IAS, CS initiating contacts
