Since commercial introduction in 2003, Universal Display’s technology and materials have been used in a number of applications, including:

  • AU Optronics Corporation introduced the first AMOLED cell phone display using one of our red PHOLED materials in 2006. This marked the beginning of the AMOLED wave with phosphorescence.
  • Samsung SMD introduced AMOLED products using our technology and PHOLED materials in early 2007. These displays have been built into a number of consumer products, including the Spinn multi-media player and the Nokia N85 cell phone.

    Universal Display is distinguished not only by our relationships with a number of leading OLED manufacturers, but also by governmental agencies that have awarded research contracts to support our development of state-of-the-art OLED technologies. These include research for:

  • U.S. Department of Defense through the Army Research Laboratories (ARL), the U.S. Army Communication Electronics Research and Development Engineering Center (CERDEC), the U.S. Naval Research Laboratories (NRL) and U.S. Air Force Research Laboratories to develop flexible OLED displays using our proprietary FOLED® technology.
  • U.S. Department of Energy through its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Solid-State Lighting (SSL) programs to develop our proprietary OLED technologies for energy- and cost-efficient white lighting.
