Samsung SDI and Universal Display Corporation (UDC) announced today that Samsung SDI will present a technical paper at the 2003 Society for Information Display International Symposium in Baltimore, MD, and demonstrate an OLED display highlighting important breakthroughs in OLED technology. Samsung SDI and Universal Display have been working together for more than two years in joint efforts to commercialize OLED technologies.
Samsung SDI has fabricated and will present a 2.2 inch QCIF full color, transparent, active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display using Universal Display's transparent OLED (TOLED(TM)). This display is transparent so that it emits light from both the top and bottom using innovative transparent cathode technology. In addition to novel uses in consumer electronics, transparent OLED displays can create significant new markets for displays in automotive windshields, architectural windows and other vision-area applications.
"We are very pleased that our colleagues at Samsung have been able to rapidly incorporate Universal Display's technologies into their groundbreaking OLED displays. Samsung SDI is one of the leading manufacturers of OLED displays. These papers and displays are a demonstration of the outstanding success of our joint development agreement with them," said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of UDC.
