About Universal Display Corporation

Universal Display Corporation is dedicated to the investigation, advancement, and market deployment of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) innovations and their constituent materials, primarily for use in display and solid-state illumination applications. The company safeguards its intellectual property with a vast global portfolio of roughly 5,500 patents, encompassing both granted and pending applications, which it either owns outright, licenses exclusively, or holds sole sublicensing authority over. Manufacturers of displays, lighting, and other goods procure its specialized UniversalPHOLED materials. Beyond these core offerings, Universal Display actively cultivates and commercializes a diverse array of other OLED device and production methodologies. Notable among these are FOLED (flexible OLEDs for crafting devices on pliable substrates), OVJP (an organic vapor jet printing technique), thin-film encapsulation (critical for packaging flexible OLEDs and other thin-film components, as well as serving as a protective barrier for plastic bases), and UniversalP2OLED (phosphorescent OLEDs designed for printing). The corporation also extends technology development and support services, collaborating with and assisting external entities in launching their OLED products. Furthermore, it undertakes contract research initiatives, delving into the synthesis, development, and commercialization of chemical materials for uses outside the OLED domain. Established in 1985, Universal Display Corporation maintains its primary corporate offices in Ewing, New Jersey.
