Greetings from the President
Dear Members of the Korea Information Display Society (KIDS),
Greetings.
We stand today at an inflection point where artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping industries across the globe.
With the widespread adoption of generative AI and large-scale foundation models, displays are evolving far beyond simple output devices. They have become the primary interface through which AI-driven experiences are first brought to life visually - the essential bridge connecting users and technology. In addition, the growing presence of AI-powered edge devices is accelerating the expansion of the display market at an unprecedented pace.
Amid these changes, the role of KIDS is clear. As the central hub for industry-academia-research collaboration, we must serve as a guiding force - closely connecting a rapidly evolving industry with cutting-edge scholarship, and ensuring that no opportunity for innovation and growth is missed.
To this end, KIDS will further strengthen its position as a platform for cooperation across industry, academia, and research institutes by expanding cutting-edge research and networking activities. We will also actively contribute to national R&D strategies and science and technology policy discussions to enhance the Society's role and standing. Furthermore, we will broaden our educational programs and international training opportunities to cultivate future talent, while expanding support for graduate students and early-career researchers.
In addition, we will reinforce KIDS's global presence through greater participation in international conferences and by expanding our international collaboration networks.
Building upon the strong foundation established by our members, I hope KIDS will continue to lead the direction of the display industry and serve as a starting point for innovation-nurturing the next generation of key talent that will shape the future.
I sincerely hope that 2026 will be a year of significant progress and new breakthroughs for both our Society and the display industry. I kindly ask for your continued participation, support, and encouragement.
Sincerely,
Chung Yi
President, Korea Information Display Society (KIDS)
