01/25/2006  January 25, 2005 - Edmund Optics Inc., Barrington, NJ, has unveiled an illumination delivery technology to increasing illumination brightness in LEDs as well as their lifetimes.

11/03/2005  November 4, 2005 - Officials from the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have agreed to eliminate duties on multichip packages (MCP) beginning in January 2006, praised by industry associations as a gesture of support for fast-growing technology areas.

04/12/2005  Ecology Coatings of Akron, Ohio, announced a licensing deal Monday with DuPont Performance Coatings allowing DuPont to manufacture and sell Ecology Coating's products for use in North American automotive applications.

02/01/2005  Two river routes lead to Wall Street in lower Manhattan. Sailing down the Hudson provides a wide, smooth ride, not to mention breathtaking views of the wooded cliffs of New Jersey – in short, a classy way to sail downtown. The East River, by contrast, is a narrow, bumpy ride. The water is dark and oily from barge traffic. The stretch past LaGuardia airport is deafeningly noisy.

VTE has been the leading technology for OLED production, but OVPD, IJP and LITI have the potential to drive display performance and manufacturing efficiencies in future device generations. For OLED technology to advance in FPD applications, its production technology must continue to achieve device performance advances and manufacturing cost reductions.

09/14/2004  When Nanosys withdrew its initial public offering in early August, the debate over what its withdrawal meant was so loud and vociferous that it effectively drowned out the news that Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) Corp., a developer of organic molecules for display applications, had filed to go public just a few days earlier.

08/23/2004  August 23, 2004 - Praxair Chemax Semiconductor Materials Co. Ltd., a joint venture between Praxair Inc. and China Petrochemical Development Corp., has been awarded a contract by LED manufacturer, Luxxon Technology Corp.

06/24/2004  If Dresden-based Novaled has its way, many of the displays of the future will have a "Made in Germany" label somewhere on them. The firm is now entering the final stages of getting its second-generation OLED technology ready for the market. By mid-2005, it plans on having its OLED display screens on store shelves.

06/09/2004  You don’t have to be a professional futurist to see that the days of conventional film are numbered. Sales of digital cameras now outpace those of film. Digital cameras are increasingly cheaper, easier to use and often take better pictures. Nice for consumers, but nothing short of scary for a company like Kodak that generates enormous revenues from film sales.

04/05/2004  As the world goes mobile and cellular phone manufacturers jockey to get their gizmos in your pocket, a nanotechnology-based innovation is going along for the ride. OLEDs, or organic light emitting diodes, are poised to make cell phone displays brighter, faster and perhaps one day even cheaper than current technology – enough so that Kyocera Corp., launched a new subsidiary for OLED R&D.

12/22/2003  "See the light!" declares a sign in the company's entryway. Universal Display Corp. expects its screen technology to see the light of commercial day sometime in 2004. OLED stands for organic light-emitting device, and screens based on UDC's technology are composed of several ultrathin films of special molecules that glow when excited by an electric current.

11/18/2003  Seiko Epson Corp. has developed a controller chip for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays designed for car electronics and other consumer devices, according to a news release.

10/06/2003  John C.C. Fan always likes to have a few dishes cooking at the same time. That’s why he divided up the workings of his company, Kopin Corp., into several different product lines. First came low-power transistors for wireless devices; next came miniature display screens for camcorders, cell phones and other handheld devices. Last summer Fan introduced Kopin’s latest entrée: a light-emitting diode that exploits nanotechnology to generate more light with less power.

07/17/2003  Made of nanostructured polymer films, OLED screens emit their own light and are lighter, smaller and more energy efficient than conventional liquid crystal displays. To marketing and branding experts, the fact that three Fortune 500 heavyweights are vying to make OLED technology a consumer proposition suggests that the market for next generation nano-powered displays will be a real contest.
