Description

Universal Display Corporation (UDC) is a leading innovator specializing in the research, development, and market introduction of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technologies and their constituent materials. These innovations primarily find application in advanced display screens and energy-efficient solid-state lighting solutions. The company holds a substantial global intellectual property portfolio, encompassing roughly 5,500 patents that are either granted or awaiting approval, which it either owns outright, exclusively licenses, or maintains sole sublicensing authority over. UDC supplies its specialized UniversalPHOLED materials to a diverse clientele, including manufacturers of displays and lighting components. Beyond its material offerings, Universal Display Corporation is actively involved in the advancement and commercialization of various other OLED device and production methodologies. This includes FOLEDs, which are flexible OLEDs designed for fabrication on pliable substrates; OVJP, an organic vapor jet printing technology; and thin-film encapsulation technology, vital for packaging flexible OLEDs and similar thin-film devices, while also serving as a protective barrier for plastic materials. The company also develops UniversalP2OLED, a type of printable phosphorescent OLED. Additionally, UDC provides comprehensive technological development and support services, frequently collaborating with external partners to facilitate the market launch of their own OLED products. Its service offerings also extend to contract research in chemical materials synthesis, covering the investigation, creation, and commercialization of such materials for non-OLED applications. Established in 1985, Universal Display Corporation maintains its corporate headquarters in Ewing, New Jersey.
