Eurodisplay 2024 Brought Timely Topics and Camaraderie

EURODISPLAY IS EUROPE'S MOST IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC conference on information displays and related technologies, attracting scientists and engineers from all over the world. This year, more than 170 attendees gathered for keynotes, technical presentations, exhibits, poster sessions, discussions, and networking.

Following in the footsteps of a fantastic Eurodisplay 2022 in Stuttgart, Germany, the event shifted locations in 2024 (September 18–20) to Grenoble, France, in the heart of the Alps, which also is known as “Display Valley.”

The area lives up to the moniker, with myriad companies focused on displays and related research and development. For example, Thales employs approximately 100 people and has been working for more than 30 years on avionics displays. CEA-Leti employs more than 2,000 people working on micro-nanotechnology, 80 of whom are focused on display systems. MICROOLED, with a team of 100 people, has been working on OLED microdisplays and light augmented reality eyewear since 2007. Finally, Aledia employs approximately 200 people who are developing microLED technologies. They were kind enough to host a tour of their new manufacturing facility for all conference attendees.

On Thursday evening, a gala dinner event at Chez le Per'Gras provided an opportunity for old and new friends to catch up with one another and discuss what they have seen and heard during the conference.

Invited talks included speakers from Columbia University, Yole Group, Barco, Pforzheim University, QustomDot, Nanoco Technologies, Avantama, IMEC, MICROOLED, Sony, HKUST, Embody, XDisplay, VEA-IRIG, and NS Nanotech.

The papers will be made available via the Journal of the Society for Information Display (JSID) shortly.
