The 1995 Society for Information Display (90) International Symposium is the premier international gathering of scientists, engineers, technologists, manufacturers, and users of flat panel displays, where virtually all aspects of information displays are presented. The organizers, Richard H. Bruce (Symposium Chair) and Hugo Steemers (Programme Chair) of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, did a magnificent job in arranging a programme that covered a wide range of technology and applications' from high definition flat panel displays of both emissive and liquid crystal display (LCD) technology t o the latest in CRT development and large area display projection systems. The symposium featured over 180 papers from around the world in 45 technical sessions; the conference papers are published in the SID International Symposium Digest of Technical Papers Vol. XXVI. It is very apparent just by paging through the Digest of Technical Paper that LCDs have entrenched themselves in the flat panel display community, and as the need for high information content continues t o grow, LCDs are expected to play an even bigger role. From the liquid crystal materials perspective, the conference was heavily weighted towards reflective displays, polymer dispersed liquid crystal displays for projection, alignment and viewing angle issues, and active matrix technologies.
