LCD 2.0: How Azumo is Keeping LCDs Relevant for the Future

LCD technology has dominated the display industry for the past few decades and today represents over 3/4ths of the display market. Billions of square feet of fab capacity exists, most investments have been fully capitalized, and product managers and OEMs are familiar with how they operate. However, the continual growth of OLED and the potential of MicroLED and other emerging display tech, the looming question remains -- How will LCDs stay relevant in the future? Azumo's unique light guide system enables more out of LCDs, including best-in-class front lit Reflective LCD (RLCDs) and flexible backlights for flexible LCDs. In this talk, CEO Mike Casper will discuss how Azumo's technology is enabling these exciting developments to help LCD differentiate into the future.
