The rapid growth of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens in the FPD industry punctuates the increased need for high-tech materials, the company asserts.
”We are excited about the recent industry developments in FPD,” says Dmitry Shashkov, president and CEO of H.C. Starck’s Fabricated Products business segment. “New technologies such as ultra-high resolution displays and OLED demand different performance levels from all display materials and components."
