What They Say

“Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) technology is emerging as a leading next-generation technology for electronic displays and lighting. Universal Display Corporation, a leading technology developer, has spearheaded numerous breakthroughs in this field, as described throughout this Web site.

OLEDs can provide desirable advantages over today’s liquid crystal displays (LCDs), as well as benefits to product designers and end users. OLEDs feature:

Vibrant colors High contrast Excellent grayscale Full-motion video Wide viewing angles from all directions A wide range of pixel sizes Low power consumption Low operating voltages Wide operating temperature range Long operating lifetime A thin and lightweight form factor Cost-effective manufacturability

Universal Display Corporation’s proprietary technologies promise to bring performance to monochrome and full-color displays in ways previously unimagined. Envision thin, lightweight displays that are bright and easy to read, that consume less power, that are flexible and, when turned off, even transparent. Or, think about a bright-white light panel that can replace today’s bulky and fragile incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes. These are a few of the possibilities that Universal Display Corporation’s proprietary OLED technologies may bring to light.”

What Others Say

“Made of nanostructured polymer films, OLED screens emit their own light and are lighter, smaller and more energy efficient than conventional liquid crystal displays. To marketing and branding experts, the fact that three Fortune 500 heavyweights are vying to make OLED technology a consumer proposition suggests that the market for next generation nano-powered displays will be a real contest. According to research firm DisplaySearch, the market for OLED displays will grow from $112 million worldwide in 2002 to $3.1 billion by 2007.”
