Insight Media Launches Mobile Display Report

http://insightmedia.info/mobiledrtrial.phpInsight Media, one of the leading market and technology display industry research firms with a roster of display industry analysts in all areas of display technology, has just released the premiere issue of the Mobile Display Report - a monthly, 40-50 page digitally delivered newsletter covering all aspects of displays and display sub-systems for the rapidly expanding personal electronics sector. "Despite the tremendous interest in personal electronics, there's been no comprehensive coverage of displays and display subsystems for this ecosystem ... until now.", said Mobile Display Report editor Ken Werner.

Mobile Display Report will concentrate on the leading small-display technologies - primarily LCDs and OLEDs, both direct-view and microdisplay types - and we'll also feature new display technologies such as iMOD, E Ink, electrowetting, and small-form-factor 3D. Component technologies will include display drivers, video/pipeline processors, tuners, films and touch panels. And, we'll also cover the infrastructures that make portable electronics so exciting - infrastructures like new mobile-TV distribution systems, content partnerships, and business models - as well as key business, financial and strategic news from industry players. For the most part, Mobile Display Report will report on consumer products, but will also include some professional and vertical-market products as well.

Mobile Display Report will focus on small (less than 10-inch) displays, component technologies for these displays, and the products these displays bring to life, such as:

  • Cell phones
  • MP3 Players
  • Personal Media Players
  • PDAs
  • Portable Game Consoles
  • Digital Still and Video Cameras
  • GPS/Navigation Systems
  • Head-Wearable Displays
  • Nano/Pico Projectors
  • Other Convergence Products

Who should read Mobile Display Report?

  • Product-development managers
  • Engineering managers
  • Designers of display-centric products
  • Developers of small displays
  • Component suppliers
  • Display integrators

"The goal of this newsletter is to offer a single source that provides comprehensive news, analysis and commentary on the displays, display components, products and markets for small direct-view display and non-projection microdisplays," commented Insight Media president, Chris Chinnock. " This is not a collection of press releases, but rather, a high-quality newsletter that Insight Media has a reputation for producing. With our core team of world-class display experts, we can indeed provide the perspective, analysis and useful business information this emerging market needs. I encourage anyone with an interest in this industry to try a FREE trial subscription to verify the value this newsletter offers."
