edC 2026: Strong conference and seamless transition at the top

This year, Prof. Dr. Jan Bauer from Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences took over the chair of the electronic displays Conference from Prof. Dr. Karlheinz Blankenbach, who shaped the event for many years with great expertise and commitment. The seamless transition underscores the strong scientific foundation of the conference and ensures its continued development in a dynamic market environment. Prof. Bauer is building on the successful work of his predecessor and providing new impetus to further expand the conference's importance as a leading platform for the display community.

“As the new Chairman of the electronic displays Conference, I am particularly pleased with the depth of content in the presentations and the intensive professional exchange within our community. Many contributions have shown that display technologies are currently undergoing gradual development – new momentum is emerging, particularly in energy-efficient low-power displays and sustainability, which will play a central role in the future of the industry,” says Chairman Bauer.
