So far, we have focused mainly on today’s display technology, with a short glimpse back into the past and an evaluation of some technologies that are at our doorstep. The interesting question certainly is: What can we expect in the future? Making short-term predictions based on new findings in physics, optics, mechanics, and electronics is relatively straightforward. Many novel display technologies already exist as prototypes in laboratories, but simply haven’t made their way to the market yet. Thus, an outlook for the next five to ten years is certainly feasible, but predictions of what displays will look like in ten to twenty years from now, or even later, would be presumptuous.
