In the 21st century, digital networks will become
a fundamental infrastructure of our society. We will see the rapid
development of smart devices with built-in chips, related software
and development tools, all of which will soon be indispensable. A
case can be made that digital advances will help determine the future
of industrial development in Japan.
Electronic displays are already playing a vital role as an interface
with advanced electronics technologies. As the flow of information
grows more sophisticated, the applications of these displays will
span the breadth of industry, economics and society, becoming a ubiquitous
addition to the daily lives of people everywhere.
Just as with cellular telephones and PDAs, the integration of chips
with display devices is producing new market leaders in every field.
The results of this technological merger will be the focus of increased
attention in the future.
It is against this backdrop that the Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association (JEITA) will hold EDEX 2004. In
addition, by holding SEMI FPD Expo 2004, sponsored by Semiconductor
Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), concurrently with EDEX
2004, the organizers aim to establish a specialty exhibition providing
opportunities for industry experts to diffuse state-of-art information.
By publicizing the latest technologies, the fair will contribute to
the growth and prosperity of the system LSI and electronic display
industries, as well as to the development of electronics technologies.
In this way, the fair will make a valid contribution to society as
a whole. |
