Life in the Fast Lane: Universal Display Corp.
If one Princeton technology company — GeePS.com — is
helping wireless
devices deliver advertisements, another is totally revolutionizing
the wireless device itself. Last week at a meeting in London,
Universal
Display Corporation announced new developments in its flat panel
displays
with Organic Light Emitting Device (OED) technology.
The company, which was incubated at Princeton University and also
has research from the University of Southern California, develops
and makes flat panel displays using the technique of organic
light-emitting
diodes (OLEDs).
According to Michael S. Weaver, UDC’s senior scientist, UDC can mass
produce high-resolution, full-color display panels that use less
power.
Soon OLEDs could replace cathode ray tubes and liquid crystal displays
in the $40 billion annual electronic display market (U.S. 1, February
25, 1998).
UDC can put these display panels on flexible, differently shaped
devices
at a relatively inexpensive cost. "OLEDs are beginning to enter
the market place as a competitive display technology," says
Weaver.
They will have bright colors, wide viewing angle, and can deliver
full motion video.
On November 1 UDC gave stock to PPG Industries in exchange for PPG’s
agreement to develop and produce proprietary chemicals that OLED
manufacturers
need. Last month, also in exchange for stock, UDC bought the rights
to the OLED patent portfolio of Motorola and now has the exclusive
license to 103 US patents associated with OLED technology, plus it
has 50 patents pending in the United States and others world wide.
UDL trades as PANL on the Nasdaq National Market. It has 11,000 square

On November 14 UCCnet took a major step toward synchronizing the
catalogs
of global companies. It helped to launch an international standards
system, EAN.UCCC, which has interoperability with systems in Austria,
the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, and Canada —
all connecting with UCCnet Global Registry. This will let
international
business-to-business trading partners communicate with synchronized
data according to the same standards.
