Short Courses

The Society for Information Display presents short courses from speakers who are leaders in their respective fields and bring an international perspective to information display. These five tutorials offer an in-depth introduction to topic fundamentals for students, scientists, and engineers looking to expand their technical breadth into a new area.

Seminars

Our 14 seminars present lectures on diverse topics related to electronic information displays and applications. These seminars are tutorial in nature, and an attempt is made to provide information at three levels.
