However, delivering immersive, high-quality and sustainable visual experiences remains a key challenge for the industry. This presentation will focus on the system-level value and emerging application scenarios of next-generation displays and will share practical insights into how Visionox intelligent Pixelization (ViP) technology drives disruptive innovation and ecosystem collaboration.</p><p><b>Julia Yan</b> is Co-President of Visionox Technology and has more than 20 years of experience in the electronic display industry. She joined the OLED project team at Tsinghua University in 2000 and was a member of Visionox's founding team, contributing to the establishment of China's first mass-production of the PMOLED line. She has since played a key role in advancing AMOLED industrialization and the early development of next-generation display technologies, such as microLED. Dedicated to building an open, collaborative, and sustainable display ecosystem, she is guided by the long-term vision of “displays everywhere” and continues to promote the expansion of display technologies into broader application scenarios and better experiences.</p><p>Explore how human vision, sound, and recognition shape perception through real-world IMAX case studies, presented by the leader who oversees global technology strategy for the cinematic pioneer.</p><p>Immersion is <i>not</i> a technology, and immersive experiences are not defined by devices or formats.

One path to fortune for many came by the way of nascent motion picture technology and the people who mastered it. The stimulus was the city's abundant year-round sunshine and wide variety of landscapes—beaches, mountains, deserts, and farmland—making it possible for studios to create experiences seemingly from all over the world.</p><p>As the industry grew, this rare combination of great weather and spectacular scenery incubated an entertainment capital capable of creating truly magical experiences. Today, that legacy continues in new forms. With the infusion of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), and contributions from the global display community, visual and immersive experiences are expanding beyond previously imagined limits. It is my hope that your experience also has no limits, and you start taking in Los Angeles's creative energy the moment you arrive at Display Week 2026.</p><p>As noted before, Display Week is so much more than an exhibition, although the exhibition itself showcases one of the broadest arrays of foundational display technologies you will find anywhere. Alongside the exhibition, you will find an amazing collection of technical programs, seminars, and special events throughout the week.</p><p>At the heart of this technical content is the SID International Symposium, which serves as the centerpiece and features 118 sessions with eight parallel tracks that consist of more than 450 oral presentations and 250 poster presentations covering all aspects of display research and development. It begins on Sunday, May 3, with a valuable array of short courses to bring you up to speed on the latest technologies, and continues throughout the week with seminars and the business conference (May 4), the exposition (May 5–7), Honors and Awards banquet (May 5), symposia (May 5– 8), Display Industry Awards (DIAs) luncheon (May 6), and so much more. Friday includes a full day of symposium sessions, so don't leave early!</p><p>So how do you navigate it all? First, it helps to come with a team, because no single person can see and do everything.

KSF narrowband phosphor technology delivers on all four, resulting in significant market penetration across all major sectors by enabling high color quality, energy-efficient displays with on-chip reliability at an excellent price. In 2023, we demonstrated the role of potassium silicon fluoride phosphor (K<sub>2</sub>SiF<sub>6</sub>:Mn<sup>4+</sup>, KSF or PFS for potassium fluorosilicate) in providing a narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) red emission for wide color gamut (WCG) LCD and microLED applications, with an addressable market estimated as double that of quantum dots (QDs).<span><sup>1</sup></span> This revenue-based market also included QD OLED displays at full module value that compete with KSF-enabled open-cell LCD TVs, so our shipment-based impact multiple far exceeded the revenue impact.</p><p>This article will update both the market and technical analysis on KSF phosphor technology and demonstrate its ongoing and expanding role as the color converter of choice for WCG displays. What differentiates KSF technology is the breadth of applications that use it across major LCD market sectors because of its narrow red emission, on-chip reliability, and high brightness. We visited an electronics store, car dealerships, the Display Week 2025 exhibit hall, and a casino to measure the screens of more than 500 displays with a spectrometer. The five narrow emission bands, peaking at approximately 631 nm, serve as a unique fingerprint to identify KSF-containing displays. More than 40 percent of car displays on American showroom floors and more than 70 percent of all LCD automotive displays exhibited at Display Week 2025 were KSF-enabled. In video slot machine cabinets, 50 percent use KSF phosphor to generate bright, saturated red colors for immersive displays.</p><p>We also present an update on the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of a small-sized type of KSF as a function of film thickness<span><sup>2</sup></span> and show that these have now surpassed the profile of typical indium phosphide (InP) QDs, with EQEs of 42 percent at a 12-micron thickness (a typical depth for color converters in QD OLED applications). KSF narrowband phosphors are highly effective color converters, which are bright and capable in high-flux environments, and they work well in power-sensitive applications. Moreover, very small amounts of material can be applied on-chip, which makes for a cost-effective color enhancement solution.</p><p>While the business of licensing KSF phosphor technology into the display market has transitioned from GE to Edison Innovations,<span><sup>3</sup></span> key brands continue to move KSF development into real-world applications.
