SID Mid-Europe Chapter (SID-MEC) Online-Meeting

SID-MEC Spring 2025 Online Talk "Holography in Displays"

The Mid-Europe Chapter of the Society for Information Display (SID-MEC) invites you to its online conference in April 2025. Under the title "Holography in Displays" experts from the display industry and research institutions will discuss current developments and challenges. The event will take place online on April 14 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m. CEST and offers a platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

The meeting will focus on holographic approaches in displays, highlighting topics such as materials science, backplane and frontplane technology, optics and system integration, manufacturing, and applications.

Keynote Speaker

Xavier Bonjour

(MICROOLED, Marketing & Partnerships Director)

Bonjour has over 25 years of experience in consumer electronics technologies, having previously held several senior executive positions with Technicolor, LG, and Philips, and has served as a board member at Movea, a start-up focusing on motion-sensing data fusion, (successfully sold to TDK). Prior to MicroOLED, Xavier was the Founder and CEO of 3D Sound Labs, a startup company that launched the first 3D audio headphones and provided other personalized audio solutions to the VR/AR market. Bonjour holds a Master of Science degree in digital technology from Heriot-Watt University, and a Master of Engineering from ESIEE. He also graduated from the Entrepreneurship Program at ESCP.

Andreas Erik Gejl Madsen, PhD.

(SDU Centre for Photonics Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark)

Andreas Erik Gejl Madsen is a recent industrial PhD graduate from the SDU Centre for Photonics Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark, specializing in digital holography and complex light shaping. He is currently pursuing a translational postdoc, working alongside Professor Jesper Glückstad to mature the HoloTile technology.

“HoloTile RGB: Unlocking Ultra-Fast, Speckle-Free, Multicolor CGH”

Single-shot, full-color holography: The HoloTile method enables high-fidelity RGB hologram reconstructions in a single shot — no temporal averaging required — making it perfect for real-time applications like AR/VR and dynamic displays.
Ultra-fast computation and real-time video playback: By leveraging sub-hologram tiling and point spread function shaping, HoloTile achieves over 100x speed improvements in hologram generation, allowing live, high-contrast video CGH.
Versatility and future applications: The technology is adaptable to any wavelength combination, unlocking new possibilities for bio-photonics, optical communication, and even volumetric additive manufacturing with multi-wavelength control.

Hagen Stolle

(HOLOEYE Photonics AG):

Hagen Stolle holds a MS Degree in Industrial Engineering. His background is in technology development and manufacturing. He was CTO of SeeReal Technologies, leading holographic 3D display development for projection and flat panel applications. Currently he is working in Holoeye Photonics' microdisplay development team.

Dr. Peter Dürr

(Fraunhofer IPMS, Senior Scientist)

Peter Duerr studied Physics at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany and got his degree in theoretical physics. At Karlsruhe University he also did his PhD in the field of photon statistics of thermal light. In 1997 he joined Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden, Germany, to develop micro-mechanical inertial sensors. Since mid-1998 he has managed many projects of research on and development of micro-mechanical spatial light modulators at the same institute. The key features of Fraunhofer IPMS micro-mirror arrays are a precise analogue control of each pixel's deflection (piston and/or tilt, not only binary) and a wide range of operation wavelengths. Typical applications include very high resolution DUV micro-lithography for mask-making or direct writing, adaptive optics, wavefront control and holography.

Background

The SID-MEC is the Mid-European branch of the Society for Information Display (SID). Founded in 1962, SID is one of the largest associations of scientists, developers, and companies in the field of electronic and information displays worldwide. Embedded in SID, the SID-MEC acts as a Mid-European branch covering a wide geographical spectrum from Eastern to Western Europe.

With a primary focus on displays, the association's forward-looking work encompasses all devices that enable image display, such as smartphone displays, projectors, AR/VR smart glasses, televisions, or display devices in automation technology. The SID-MEC is organized by four board members.

New SID Mid-Europe Chapter (SID-MEC) Officers

The SID-MEC is organized by four officers. The previous officers have handed over the organization to the next generation in April 2024. The new Officer Board consists of

Chair: Dr. Uwe Vogel

(Fraunhofer IPMS)

Portraitaufnahmen für gewerbliche Zwecke — Vice-Chair: Dr. Mark Goebel (Merck Electronics KGaA)

Secretary: Prof. Dr. Rigo Herold (Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau)

Treasurer: Dr. Yohan Kim (Fraunhofer IAP)
