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.

03/05/2003  Eastman Kodak Co. is releasing what it calls the world's first digital camera with an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display.

12/16/2002  DuPont Displays and Universal Display Corp. (UDC) said they plan to jointly develop a new generation of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials and technology.

12/11/2002  Dec. 11, 2002 - Wilmington, DE, and Ewing, NJ - DuPont Displays, a business unit of DuPont and a developer and manufacturer of polymer OLED displays, together with Universal Display Corp. (UDC), an innovator of OLED technologies, have signed a joint development agreement to create a new generation of soluble OLED materials and technology.

10/02/2002  NanoVia LP said it has developed an optical system design for making organic light-emitting diode display devices.

09/20/2002  Philips, like GE, Intel, IBM and Samsung, is a large company that has adopted a small tech R&D program because it sees huge market potential. But Philips is mixing in a healthy dose of skepticism as it prepares small tech-enabled products for market. "We are not working on small tech because everybody else is," explained a Philips spokesman.

08/29/2002  Small tech is heading to the small screen. Displays made of glowing plastic molecules called OLEDs promise brighter and cheaper alternatives to liquid crystal displays. Made of nanostructured polymer films, OLED screens based on technologies developed by companies such as Cambridge Display Technology and Kodak are beginning to hit the market.

Germany has long considered itself a loser in the flat panel display industry, since about 97 percent of all flat panel displays are produced in Asia. Now the country is ready to steal some of that business away from the Far East and it sees the current development of new flat screen technology as the ideal time to strike.

10/16/2001  An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display technology has been developed that exhibits up to 16 million colors. Based on Kodak patents, the full-color active matrix OLED developed by eMagin Corp., Hopewell Junction, NY, contains more than 1.5 million individually addressable picture elements.
