Of course the traditional display applications were
being shown as well. The ultra-thin “Wall Paper OLED TV” was very impressive to
see. When the TV is mounted, it almost looks like a picture hanging on the
wall.
There were less curved displays this year
compared with the previous years, but some exhibitors showed them for gaming
and digital signage applications. Overall, there was a lot of energy at the
show, and we could meet some old and new customers there.
The big highlight of Display Week for me personally
was the location. The LA Convention Center is located next to the Staple Center
Arena. The Staple Center is the home of the Los Angeles NBA professional
basketball team, the Lakers. I have been a Lakers fan for
over 40 years, which may be odd since I grew up in Pennsylvania not California.
It was very cool to see the life size statues of former Laker great players in
front of the Staple Center every morning as we entered the Display Week Show.
It was “almost heaven in the City of Angles”
for me all week!
