From 23rd to 25th of July, the Flower City Science and Technology Forum and the 23rd International Symposium on Advanced Display Materials and Devices (ADMD) was organized by SCUT in Guangzhou.. The symposium focused on the frontiers and the fundamental academic problems of display, including OLED materials and devices, liquid crystal materials and devices, QD materials, TFT materials, electronic paper materials and devices and so on, covering contents like characterization and synthesis of materials, computational models and display technology. ADMD is held alternately in China, Japan and South Korea. It was held in Guangzhou by SCUT for the first time. The symposium was chaired by Junbiao Peng, Dean of SMSE, SCUT, with Professor Yanlei Yu at Fudan University and Professor Jianhua Zhang at Shanghai University as co-chairs.

Conference site
The symposium included plenary lectures, invited talks and poster shows, where participants could share the most advanced research achievements in heated discussions.
The topics of the nine plenary lectures varied. Professor Xiaogang Peng, the well-known scholar in nanomaterial from Zhejiang University, reported on the applications of semiconductor nanocrystalline materials-colloidal quantum dots in display. Professor Kazunari Domen from Tokyo University introduced a newly-developed photocatalyst that could decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen under sunlight. Dr. Hyun-Chui Choi from LG Display of South Korea gave an outlook for the development trend of white OLED display technology from the prospect of display industry. Additionally, there were 24 invited talks and 87 posters during the symposium.
Poster Exhibition
Well-known and high-level academicians, experts and scholars in the field at home and abroad were invited to the symposium in Guangzhou, which was condusive to enhancing the influence of both Guangzhou and SCUT, promoting collaboration among Guangzhou, SCUT and all participants ,and providing the most advanced information and development trends to the attendees in related fields.
During the symposium, delegates visited universities, research institutes and related enterprises in Guangzhou, which promoted the establishment of collaborations. In the meantime, such tours helped show the cultures of Guangzhou, which could greatly facilitate attracting talents to the city. A collection of papers would be published by the organizing committee of ADMD for participants for reference after the symposium.
