For Displays, we feature a Q&A examining how 2020 has shifted the technology curve for industrial displays (p10 digital issue or web version); and we review how one of the pioneers of e-paper displays scaled up from small scale manufacture of a disruptive innovation to mass production of a mature technology (p12 digital issue or web version).
For Communications, we include a tutorial exploring the outlook for legacy 2G & 3G cellular networks, before considering the viability of current 4G LTE networks as 5G networks mature (p15 digital issue or web version); and we review the application of wireless technologies in industrial environments, particularly LoRa, through a number of IIoT case studies (p20 digital issue or web version).

Our bi-annual Electronics Outsourcing supplement (p25 digital issue) opens with a review of how COVID-19 is impacting outsourced contract electronics manufacturing (p26 digital issue or web version).
