Universal Display Corporation’’s proprietary technology promises to bring color to flat panel displays in ways previously unimagined. Envision lightweight, portable, and flexible flat panel displays that provide visual imagery that is easy to read, vibrant in color and less consuming of power.
An OLED is an electronic device made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. OLEDs are lightweight, durable, power efficient and ideal for portable applications. OLEDs have fewer process steps and also use both fewer and lower-cost materials than LCD displays. Universal Display believes that OLEDs can replace the current technology in many applications due to the following performance advantages over LCDs:
greater brightness
faster response time for full motion video
fuller viewing angles
lighter weight
greater environmental durability
more power efficiency
broader operating temperature ranges
greater cost-effectiveness
Universal Display Corporation’’s OLED (Organic Light Emitting Device ) technology is focused on a number of key areas, including:
High Efficiency Materials
Transparent OLED (TOLED)
Flexible OLED (FOLED)
Passive and Active Matrices
Vertically Stacked, High Resolution OLED (SOLED)
Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD)
Stamping
Organic Lasers
OLED technology will not only improve existing products, but will also create exciting, new product possibilities.
