Corning Astra glass and Quantum Dot on Glass

May 16, 2019, by Jennifer Colegrove Ph.D. Touch Display Research Inc.

I just returned from the SID 2019 DisplayWeek. According to the conference organizer, there were more than 7500 attendees this year, which is a record high in SID’s history.

The Monday seminar at the DisplayWeek attracted record high attendees as well. (See my blog a couple days ago).

On Tuesday morning, Corning hosted a press event and announced its new glass—Astra glass.

Mr. Han Yim, Business Director at Corning first introduced Corning’s history and then he introduced the Astra glass, “Astra Glass meets the precise, high-temperature requirements of oxide processing and joins our portfolio of display substrates, alongside EAGLE XG® Glass and Lotus™ NXT Glass, to cover the entire spectrum of our customers’ needs.”

Touch Display Research visited Corning’s booth and interviewed Mr. Yim about Astra glass. We also interviewed Corning about Quantum Dot on Glass. Detail analysis can be found in the Touch and Emerging Display monthly report.

SID 2019 Monday Seminar attracted record high attendees

May 13, 2019, by Jennifer Colegrove Ph.D. Touch Display Research Inc.

SID 2019 DisplayWeek is held in San Jose, California this week. I taught a seminar on Monday morning, titled “Display and Emerging Technology Market Forecast –LCD, OLED, Micro and mini LED, e-paper, touch screens and smart windows”.

I’m honored to have been teaching Monday Seminar for 5 years at SID DisplayWeek. According to the conference organizer, there are over 1100 attendees for the Monday seminar this year, which is a record high in SID history. (Last year 2018, there were over 800 attendees for Monday seminar, and in 2016, there were over 600 attendees for the Monday seminar, which was a record by then).

More and more people joined the seminar, many of them had to stand for the one and half an hour seminar. From the questions the attendee asked at the Q&A session, I believe many people are interested in 4 areas: quantum dot, flexible OLED display, Micro and mini LED, and touch screen.
