Taipei, July 2 (CNA) The largest flat panel display exposition in Taiwan and an international display manufacturing conference will be held July 3-6 in an attempt to examine and discuss the latest technology in the industry, organizers said in a press conference Monday.
The Flat Panel Display (FPD) Expo Taiwan 2007 and International Display Manufacturing Conference (IDMC) 2007 will be held in Taipei World Trade Center Hall I and the Taipei International Convention Center. More than 150 exhibitors will display the latest FPD technology in 460 booths, the organizers said.
The global electronic display market is expected to surpass US$100 billion in revenue this year, said Terry Tsao, president of Semiconductor Equipment and Material International (SEMI) Southeast Asia, which is the main organizer of the exposition.
TFT-LCDs represent some 73 percent of all displays and Taiwan is the world's largest producer, with a 2006 market share of over 40 percent, Tsao said.
The government is promoting the display industry, along with the semiconductor industry in the hope that between them they can reach revenue of US$30 billion before the end of the year.
In addition to the expo, a workshop and dozens of technology sessions will be held at the IDMC 2007. A total of 260 theses on information display will be presented to more than 1,000 attendees.
