ILDA's 2003 Fenning Awards For Technical Achievement in Laser Displays ILDA renamed its award program honoring technology in 1998 to commemorate the late Fred Fenning, who pioneered many laser display developments during his 21-year career in the laser field. No first place awards were made this year. Although the technologies honored were innovative and noteworthy, the judges felt they did not represent groundbreaking new developments in the industry.
