Universal Display’s Borderless Flexible OLED Panel Named Best in Show at SID Display Week 2013

Universal Display Corporation won Best in Show, Small Exhibit Category for its borderless flexible OLED lighting panel at the 2013 Society for Information Display (SID) International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition.

The all-phosphorescent OLED lighting panel, built on a plastic substrate system, uses Universal Display’s proprietary single hybrid-layer UniversalBarrier encapsulation technology to meet the demanding packaging requirements for OLED displays and lighting. Universal Display’s encapsulation also provides complete perimeter coverage for nearly edgeless or “bezel-less” packaging, increasing the panel’s active area and creating myriad new product design possibilities.

“We are honored to be recognized by the Society for Information Display for our recent advances in and the demonstration of our proprietary single-layer encapsulation technology in an OLED lighting panel. With our UniversalPHOLED technology and materials in commercial use in OLED displays and lighting, this innovation is an excellent example of one of the OLED technologies under development at Universal Display,” said Steven V. Abramson, president and CEO of Universal Display. “I am proud of our team’s ability to identify and develop a high-performance, cost-effective encapsulation technology that addresses a long-standing challenge for OLED packaging and can provide significant added value to our customers’ development of OLED display and lighting products as well as other thin-film electronic devices.”
