Introduction:
The Laser Display and Lighting Conference (LDC) is an international conference on laser displays, laser lighting, and related technologies. The 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th-8th LDC were held in Yokohama, Japan in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017-2019, respectively, and the 3rd in Taichung, Taiwan in 2014, the 5th in Jena, Germany in 2016. The 9th, 10th and 11th LDC were held hybrid. The 12th LDC was held on-site.

The LDC2024 is intended to provide a central forum for the update and review of scientific and technical information on laser display and lighting covering a wide range of fields from fundamental research to systems and applications. The conference is sponsored by the Optical Society of Japan in cooperation with several academic societies and associations.

Scope:
LDC2024 covers the laser display and lighting technology in the following majortopical fields;

A. Light Sources and Components
Visible lasers, LED, solid-state light sources, phosphor, wavelength conversion materials, for displays and automotive applications. Optoelectronic components, such as spatial light modulators, high-speed scanners, MEMS, projection components, display drivers and interfaces are also included.

B. Imaging / Lighting
Physical display unit (projection, holography, light-field), Sensing and Imaging technologies (3D imaging by scanning, ghost imaging, imaging algorism), Image acquisition by new technologies (Raman/ Nonlinear scattering, Photoacoustic imaging PAI…). Illumination and lighting including LIFI. Imaging Evaluation and Image processing for speckle reduction. Color management and image quality control. Laser safety and standardization.

C. AI and DX analysis for Smart Systems
Intelligent Display and IoT systems for smart society, which are integrated with other functional devices or technologies, such as AI analysis / control, digital transformation (DX), signal processing, various sensors (e.g., cameras, TOF and LiDAR), human interfaces, wired / wireless microwave / millimeter wave / optical communication devices or interfaces, or wired / wireless optical power supplies. Design, algorithm, or components particularly applied for the above smart systems are also included.
