During the event, representatives from key companies in display materials and devices, including LG Display, Dupont, and Idemitsu, gave presentations on topics such as strategies for developing OLED emitting layer technology, industrial applications of Tandem OLED, and strategies for responding to display-related policies. There was also active discussion on-site regarding talent development, technology commercialization, and regional collaboration models.
