Screens: Still the Center of Human–Machine Interaction after Display Week 2025
When graphic-designer Christopher Butler writes that “screens are good, actually,” he’s pushing back on the idea that displays are a diminishing technology. I couldn’t agree more, especially after three days at SID Display Week 2025.
What Display Week 2025 proved
- The industry is very active, it was the most exhibitors we have seen for many years.
- New display technologies are still being developed.
- Automotive applications for displays are an industry driving force. Manufacturers continue to innovate and improve.
Why screens keep winning
From foldable phones to reflective e-paper dashboards, new form factors emerge faster than designers can retire them. For every “screen-less” development, another application, safety-critical control, outdoor digital-signage, immersive collaboration, demands a brighter, faster, more connected display.
The takeaway for product teams
If you’re rethinking the HMI in an industrial, medical, or retail device, a screen is still the most versatile, information-dense interface. Pair it with the right controller board and you unlock real-time analytics, edge AI, and cloud-ready content delivery.
