TEN THOUSAND PARTICIPANTS—THAT WAS ONE OF MY THREE commitments when I made my opening remarks during Display Week 2020. Honestly, I thought it might be too ambitious of a goal when last year's attendance was about 5,700, and the past record was approximately 8,500. But to my surprise, the actual number exceeded my expectations and marked a new record! I would like to thank all the contributors who made this happen. This is truly a wonderous feat! Twelve years ago, SID faced a difficult situation. Influenced by world events at the time—namely, the financial crisis and the bird flu—only 3,700 people attended Display Week. Also, during that time, people had a sense that the progress of flat-panel display technology's evolution might be complete. Large, bright, and thin LCD televisions were in every living room, and it was hard for people to imagine room for improvement. But now, people are hearing about improvements in display gadgets every day, with much excitement. New smartphones, smart watches, tablets, and personal computers allow millions to work and learn from home and have become a necessity to everyday living. The sales of high-speed GPU boards, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) devices, brilliant microLED displays, and foldable displays are on the rise, and these devices are in high demand. The paradigm shift has happened—from TV displays for families to display gadgets for individuals. People are investing in man-machine interfaces and display gadgets to access ultrahigh-speed computing. As our Vision Statement goes, SID is the world's most prestigious forum that attracts the brightest minds and innovations in visual information technology. We need to continue to transform displays so that the vast computing capability can bring more benefits and improvements to everyday lives. In that sense, we have lots of work to do! SID would like to collect all of this wisdom to help change the world. We always welcome everyone who has the passion and creativity to do so. Clearly, this is an immensely satisfying time to be in our industry. Display Week 2021 was a great event, with many insightful presentations that will remain available online through September. Thank you to everyone who attended, and it is my great pleasure to work with everyone to pursue continued innovation. Takatoshi Tsujimura is the president of the Society for Information Display.
