Welcome to the Tenth Cross-Strait Postgraduate Workshop on Displays and Young Leaders in Displays. This year marks the Tenth Year Anniversary of PGWS. This Workshop was started ten years ago by Professor NS Xu of SYSU, Professor David Shieh of NCTU and myself. The first one was held in HKUST, and has been rotating between various locations across the Taiwan Strait. It was organized entirely by PG students with help from the staff.

The idea of the Workshop is to have young researchers sharing their results and experiences. Over the years, this goal has been achieved remarkably and many students from different Universities started collaborating after the Workshop. Quite a few projects have resulted in joint publications. Many of the students maintain contacts with each other after their graduation, especially for those who remain in the display research and manufacturing industry. It is very satisfying for us to see the younger generation taking over the baton. Since five years ago, we have included students from other Universities. We are glad to see that this year, more Universities are involved and we have a record breaking attendance of over 200 people. Overall, 13 Universities are represented, including, SYSU, NYCU, SusTech, SCUT, SZU, PKU(SZ), FZU, IMECAS, SEU, JNU, HBU, SHU and HKUST. Since last year, we have started a Young Leaders in Displays Symposium. Each University is requested to recommend one speaker to the Symposium.

Since this is the Tenth Anniversary, the students have arranged an interesting social program for their celebration. It includes a friendly soccer tournament, and a boat trip around Hong Kong harbor. We are sure that everyone will enjoy these events. As always, the academic exchange will surely be enlightening and rewarding. We are sure that many research collaborations and ideas will be stimulated by this Workshop, resulting in joint publications and research proposals and research grants. Collaborative research is becoming important and much funding opportunities have been created in the newly recognized Greater Bay Area. This PGWS will surely grow into a platform for research collaborations. We wish all the participants best of luck in their future endeavors.
