It's an Interactive Visual World at FPD International

Applied Materials’ is at FPD International in Yokohama, Japan this week from October 26-28, presenting the theme “Enabling an Interactive Visual World.” Prominently featured at this year’s show is the AKT-20KPX PECVD system for high mobility backplanes driving smartphones and tablet PC’s and the Aristo Twin PVD for touch panel applications.

It’s an exciting time to be in the display industry and I want to give a quick overview of the new offerings at this year’s show. Devices are larger, thinner, higher resolution, smarter, touchable and more energy efficient. Smartphones and tablet PC’s are high resolution and everything is touch! 3-D TV’s are larger and interactive, and public information displays are dual sided.

Applied Materials enables this new interactive world as a leading supplier of manufacturing equipment to the flat panel manufacturing industry. We enable the display industry by lowering the manufacturing cost of production and bring exciting new equipment processes and technologies to market for everything from TFT-LCD TV to smartphones and tablet PC’s – both OLED and LCD.

I’ll be blogging this week’s activities from the show including the presentation at the touch panel technical session titled, ”The Manufacturing and Material Technologies that can Evolve Panels” by John Busch, Display PVD, general manager.
