Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Larry Weber, President SID, said, "With a strong education system, India is emerging as a leader in technology development. And holding an event of this magnitude in India will propel it to achieve more in display development".
Sharing his vision on Display Technologies, R Chidambram said, "Till date India has built a strong science and technology platform but a coherent synergy between academia and industry needs to be created to put India on the path of growth". "To close the gap between these two segments, directed basic research would be imperative in the selected areas of importance keeping in mind the global perspective", he added.
