The I-Zone at SID Display Week 2017 was sponsored by E Ink, returned for its sixth year, and showcased cutting-edge demos and prototypes that will lead to the products of tomorrow. I filmed 29 of these startups which you can see in the playlist over all the SID Display Week 2017 videos that I have published here This year’s winner of the “Best Prototype” is IGM, University of Stuttgart who I filmed here, who partnered with Hella KGaA Hueck & Co. to develop a novel headlamp with fully adaptive, driving beam technology that incorporates both active-matrix LCD and LED technologies. For the first time, there are also two honorable mentions at I-Zone, those went to:
– Jasper Display Corporation and glō for its megapixel silicon backplane (4k x2k) and spatial light modulator technology for microdisplays
– Turtle Beach and Nepes Display for its HyperSound Glass, the world’s first highly directional and transparent parametric speaker
