DISPLAY/PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES Albuquerque Symposium Explored Recent Advances In A Wide Range Of Display And Printing Technologies Five sessions of the symposium, "Materials for Display and Printing Technologies," were devoted to materials for displays, including liquid crystals, flat panel phosphor displays, PLZT displays and imaging devices, electrophoretics, electrochromics, and thin film electroluminescent displays. Liquid Crystals The field of liquid crystal displays was surveyed with respect to display element resolution in three excellent papers. New developments in conventional liquid crystal displays and in liquid crystal-photoconductor optical data processing and large screen projection displays were discussed in two of these papers, and the third described new high-resolution, thermally writable, electrically erasable smectic liquid crystals for display and optical memory applications. Two papers were presented on flat panel phosphor [Continued on Page 13]

DATA STORAGE MATERIALS The Albuquerque Symposium On Optical And Magnetic Materials Demonstrated Great Vigor In This Exciting Area The symposium, "Optical and Magnetic Data Storage Materials," at the 1984 Spring Meeting, began with the problem common to sessions at this conference—there were more participants outside the meeting room than could be accommodated inside. Fortunately, additional space was quickly arranged and exciting series of talks got under way. In the introductory session, D. Speliotis reported that heightened interest in magnetic data storage is pushing forward research in density and performance, especially with vertical recording. G. Bate followed with an instructive—and amusing—complexity diagram of magnetic recording, and drew the symposium's attention to the seemingly ordinary problem of the media substrate. J. Lemke reviewed particulate media showing impressive results of isotropic particulate coatings. New process technologies will provide extremely fine and uniform particles. Optical Recording The session on "Optical Recording I" began (in a more [Continued on Page 13] PAGE 4, MRS BULLETIN, MARCH/APRIL 1984
