IDS to sponsor UK hardware developers' conference

IDS was established in 2001 by a team of display industry experts. Over time they have built up a great deal of knowledge about both the technical approach and the user interface approach to designing displays using LCD, TFT and OLED technologies for many applications. IDS have helped develop innovative displays, enabling customers to enhance their products, with some even receiving awards for design and application.

"We are very pleased to support this Conference," said Adrian Amor, Director, IDS. "For us, H/WExpo will be an ideal opportunity to discuss and demonstrate the very latest display and touch technologies for embedded systems."

"We are delighted to have IDS on board for this Conference," said Richard Blackburn, Conference Manager. "IDS will bring a lot of expertise and experience to this event, as they are constantly working with their OEM customers to employ leading edge display and touch technology within embedded systems and devices."

Covering such topics as silicon choice, PCB and circuit design tools, ASIC and FPGA design, test equipment, display technology and reference design platforms, the H/WExpo conference will include a vendor exhibition, a stream of presentations from industry experts and a series of half day workshops. H/WExpo will be co-located with the Device Developers' Conference, an event for engineers that develop solutions based on embedded systems and realtime software.

Attendance at H/WExpo, including the technical presentations, will be free for engineers and technical managers, although there will be a modest charge for places on the half-day workshops. Over 30 technology companies are expected to exhibit at the joint two-day conference. There will be 24 expert technical presentations and series of half-day workshops.
