Want to learn more about them, see the latest hardware, and hear about current research? Come join us in Seattle this May for SID'93! The principal activities listed immediately below are described in the advance program. SUNDAY SHORT COURSES EXHIBITS SEMINARS TUESDAY EVENING PANEL DISCUSSIONS KEYNOTE SPEAKERS WEDNESDAY CONFERENCE LUNCHEON SYMPOSIUM WEDNESDAY EVENING SOCIAL EVENT "HOW-TO" COURSES SPOUSE TOURS AWARDS DINNER ADVANCE REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS SESSIONS This posting is intended to call your attention to the Seminar Program, which includes the Sunday Short Courses, the Seminars on Monday and Friday, and the How-To Courses on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Mornings. ============================== SUNDAY AFTERNOON SHORT COURSES ============================== Four 4-hour short courses will be held on May 16. They are characterized by technical depth and small class size, and advanced registration is required. The topics are: 8:30 AM * Display Phosphors (Aron Vecht, Aron Vecht & Associates) * Human Interface Design and Multimedia Applications (Christopher D. Wickens, University of Ilinois) 1:30 PM * TN- and STN-LCDs and LC Materials (Martin Schadt, F. Hoffman - La Roche) * Fundamentals and Applications of Video Image Processing (M. Ibrahim Sezan, Eastman Kodak) These courses are an excellent way to spend your time on Sunday, particularly if you arrive early to qualify for a Saturday night stay- over fare! ======== SEMINARS ======== These 90-minute lectures are the best possible introduction to the display field. They also help established workers maintain a broad awareness of technical issues and recent progress. The instructors provide notes that SID binds up into two volumes and distributes with Seminar registration. The easist way to build up a reference library on display technologies is to accumulate these books for a few years. Monday, May 17 8:30 AM * Overview and Status of Information Displays (Walter F.
