Summary Over 10 discs around Herbig Ae stars were directly imaged in scattered light with <0.1 (<14 40 AU) resolution with 8-m class telescopes. Most discs with large (>10 AU) gaps show distinct non-axisymmetry, suggesting presence of companions probably with extreme mass ratio. Non-gapped disks are variable with time in scattered-light, suggesting that their dust discs are already settled. Formation of planets/(sub)stellar companions may occur before 1 Myr. Important to observe discs at < 1 Myr. Companion search in 1 30 AU with mass ratio < 0.1 will be important.
