The Society for Information Display (SID) announced the winners of its popular People’s Choice Awards and the I-Zone (Innovation Zone) competition at its 60th International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, known as Display Week 2023. Display Week 2023, held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, May 21-26, is the premier event for the global electronic display and visual information technology industries.
The People’s Choice Awards are decided by display enthusiasts from around the world who vote for their favorite technology, components, demonstrations, and interactive booths on the show floor. Voting was conducted through a survey in the Display Week app May 23-24. Each winner was honored with a blue ribbon.
“The People’s Choice Awards were designed for Display Week attendees to choose the products they like most – and the people have spoken,” says Harit Doshi, SID’s Conventions Chair. “We congratulate all of the Display Week 2023 People’s Choice Awards winners, which represent a wide range of exciting technologies and demonstrated innovative thinking and creativity in their booth presence.”

This lively showcase has helped launch some of the most exciting concepts in the industry. Twenty-four exhibitors participated in this year’s I-Zone exhibition.
“Thousands of attendees flock to Display Week each year to find out what’s new and what’s next in emerging technologies,” says Casey Kang, interim chair of SID’s I-Zone Committee. “And the I-Zone provides the perfect opportunity to see, touch and test innovative prototypes rooted in next-gen concepts. It’s also the perfect opportunity for smaller companies, start-ups and universities to share their ideas and products with a wide range of audiences and potential partners.
