{"title":"SID Japan Chapter Celebrates 50th Anniversary","authors":"Masanobu Mizusaki","doi":"10.1002/msid.1620","DOIUrl":"10.1002/msid.1620","url":null,"abstract":"<p><b>THE SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION</b> Display (SID) Japan Chapter (JC) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and credits much of its success to the strong support of the Society and its members. Established in 1975, SID-JC was the first chapter founded outside the United States.</p><p>In the 1960s and early 1970s, research and development related to various technologies, such as electrophoretic, vacuum fluorescent, and large-sized video displays, had been conducted in Japan. Around this time, the development of LCD and plasma display panel (PDP) technologies also begun, with similar research in the United States. In 1972, Dr. Akio Sasaki and several Japanese engineers visited Zenith LLC laboratory in the United States and exchanged information regarding various display technologies.<span><sup>1</sup></span> Dr. Sasaki and the engineers felt that this collaboration was significantly important to advance technologies. This led to a discussion on founding a display technology organization in Japan. In 1974, the Japanese scientists and engineers asked SID to participate in their meetings for the purpose of exchanging information. Shortly thereafter, the Japan Chapter was founded through great efforts by Dr. Sanai Mito, who was the first chair of SID-JC in 1975<span><sup>2</sup></span> (<b>Fig</b>. 1). Other significant founders include Dr. Toshio Inoguchi, Dr. Chuji Suzuki, and Dr. Sasaki.</p><p>While celebrating its 25th anniversary, SID-JC held several commemorative events, and we have continued these activities and traditions by hosting several display technology seminars, discussing trends, and providing an annual report at Display Week for Japanese scientists, engineers, and students.</p><p>To commemorate the milestone anniversary of SID-JC in 2025, committee members held meetings to plan a series of celebratory events. Committee members created a SID-JC anniversary logo (displayed on the first page of this article) to honor the chapter's legacy, recognize contributions from its members and the broader SID community, and to foster a sense of unity between SID and SID-JC. Dr. Toshiaki Arai and Dr. Reiji Hattori, the 24th and 25th chairs of SID-JC, suggested the logo type. Then the committee members refined the color tone and shape before finalizing the design. During Display Week 2025, the SID committee prepared a special cake featuring the logo, and all the SID-JC participants were deeply impressed (<b>Fig</b>. 2).</p><p>Five commemorative meetings were held between May 2023 and July 2025 in Tokyo. The first meeting focused on the development of LCD. In the late 1970s, the development of an alignment layer treatment was important to elevate LC device technology to a product level. The rubbing treatment—a technique used in the fabrication of LCDs to control the orientation of LC molecules—was a crucial innovation. The first rubbing machine has been preserved in the Memory Room of RIKEN in Japan to celebrate RIKEN's 100-year anniversary (<","PeriodicalId":52450,"journal":{"name":"Information Display","volume":"41 5","pages":"71-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sid.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msid.1620","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145129178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its fields of study included mechanical engineering, construction, metalwork, drafting, and applied physics. With the industrial revolution in full swing, the school prepared its students to enter the workforce directly with a solid foundation in both practical and theoretical knowledge. It also prepared students to pursue further education at universities in Germany and beyond.</p><p>Early in the 20th century, the school expanded its scope to become the Stuttgart Institute of Technology (Technische Hochschule Stuttgart) and evolved from there into a full-fledged university in 1967, the University of Stuttgart (Universität Stuttgart). It has become one of the top learning institutions in Europe, with a strong focus on advanced and applied technology.</p><p>With nearly 21,000 students enrolled in 62 bachelor's and 99 master's programs, the university employs 269 professors, 34 junior professors, and hundreds of other scientific staff, including PhD and postdoctor candidates.</p><p>The University of Stuttgart has gained a solid reputation for its interdisciplinary approach, which combines engineering, natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences. This helps to build not only specialists in niche areas of study, but critical thinkers who can solve complex problems by drawing from multiple disciplines.</p><p>The school has 10 distinct faculties that oversee approximately 150 different institutes, each with specialized fields of study. One example is the Institut für Großflächige Mikroelektronik (IGM), known in English as the Institute for Large Area Microelectronics. Since 1990, IGM has been operating a 500 m<sup>2</sup> clean room fully equipped for producing active-matrix displays and sensor array demonstrators using near-industrial processes (<b>Fig</b>. 1).</p><p>The IGM focuses on the implementation of microelectronics—very small, sometimes microscopic, electronic devices and components—on large surface areas. Its specific fields of commercial application include flat-panel display devices and “smart surfaces,” as well as modulators and filters for optical signal processing. Smart surfaces include any engineered surface that can sense and respond to various stimuli, such as touch, light, proximity, pressure, humidity, and temperature. This technology is not limited to traditional display screens or smart glass, but can be integrated into virtually any solid surface, such as walls, floors, control panels, or even pavement or sidewalks.</p><p>Norbert Fruehauf attended the University of Stuttgart, earning his PhD (Dr-Ing.) in electrical engineering.
