The Journal of the Society for Information Display (JSID) is proud to announce that some of the best papers that will be presented at Display Week 2016 are already available as full-length papers in the Journal. The DW16 Program Committee selected a limited number of outstanding contributions and the corresponding authors were invited to submit a full-length paper of their work to JSID. An expedited peer review process with strict deadlines was installed and the first accepted papers are now available in a virtual online issue. Access to these papers is free until June 30, 2016.

PRODUCT ENGINEERING/APPLICATIONS

Attention Manufacturers and Suppliers: These sessions contain information on the practical aspects of display technology such as design, manufacturing, and testing of displays and display-related products. Papers are generally product or process oriented and deal with how something was engineered, how it works, what to use, how to use it, and what to avoid. Emphasis should be technical, not marketing. Abstract, paper submission, and presentation requirements are the same as for the Symposium papers, although the content does not have to be original. Applications Sessions will be conducted in parallel with the Symposium sessions. Applications papers are welcome in all areas of display technology previously listed under the applications symposium topics.

TIMETABLE

The deadline for receipt of technical summaries/abstracts is December 1, 2015 (January 20, 2016 for Late-News Papers). Notification of acceptance will be e-mailed by February 8, 2016 (February 15 for Late-News papers). Authors of accepted papers will be directed to an online “Authors Kit” with instructions for the preparation of the paper to be published in the Symposium Digest. The paper shall consist of four pages, including all illustrations and is due March 1, 2016 (March 15 for Late-News papers).
