DSCC has announced its new virtual event, the AR/VR Display Forum, it will take place on November 3-4, 2021. This virtual conference and exhibition will be fully dedicated to the advanced display technologies for Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality.

“AR and VR applications will be growing at a fast pace in the coming years,” according to Guillaume Chansin, Director of Display Research at DSCC. “The display engine will be critical to the success of any AR/VR headset or smart glasses. However, the technologies that have been developed for flat panel displays in smartphones do not meet the requirements for AR/VR. This is why AR/VR is an opportunity for the display industry to bring more innovation to market.”

Annual revenues for AR/VR displays will grow at a CAGR of 51.6% to reach $4.2B in 2026, according to a recent report by DSCC. Several technologies are competing in this space, including LCD, AMOLED, LCoS, DLP, LBS, MicroLED and OLED-on-Silicon (SiOLED).

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, several events have moved online, ensuring that industry professionals can continue to exchange ideas and promote new products. As a result, the digital tools enabling these meetings, have improved considerably. DSCC will use a state-of-the-art platform, allowing all the modern features that participants expect from a virtual event, including live interactions, Q&A with speakers and on-demand replay of presentations.

Call for speakers

The conference will discuss the latest progress to manufacture and commercialize the displays that will enable immersive AR and VR headsets with high resolution, wide field of view and longer battery life. DSCC is currently looking for speakers covering the following topics:
