International Symposium on Advanced Display Materials and Devices (ADMD) is a continuous International Conference on the basic research and development of applications of display materials and actuators. It has high academic standards and represents international academic frontier and dynamic of the display materials and actuators. This symposium has been held for many years; it was organized by Japan or South Korea before. And it was supported by the Korean Information Display Society, Korea Display Industry Association and High Touch Industry Association, Korea. We will hold the 17th International Symposium on Advanced Display Materials and Devices (ADMD 2013) on June 27th-28th, 2013, Shanghai, China. ADMD2013 is the first of the series to be held in China. We are striving to make it a successful conference, with strong support from the scientists in related fields.
