DuPont Displays launches Olight products

APRIL 4--DuPont Displays (Wilmington, DE;olight.Dupont.com), a developer and manufacturer of organic-light-emitting-diode (OLED) technology, has introduced DuPont Olight, a new identity for its OLED display products. The name Olight is derived from "OLED" and "light." The superior brightness and contrast ratio of OLEDs create a crisp, sharp image. OLEDs also support moving images with fast response times and offer wide viewing angles without image inversion or loss of contrast ratio, all of which contributes to a screen performance claimed to be better than that of liquid-crystal displays.

DuPont Displays is assembling a portfolio of intellectual property, process know-how, and manufacturing partnerships aimed at providing a comprehensive roadmap of Olight technology that will meet the needs for new kinds of flat-panel displays. With a pilot line in Santa Barbara, CA, and a full production line with RiTdisplay in Hsinchu, Taiwan, DuPont Displays has the manufacturing know-how and capacity to serve the OLED market. Initial applications for Olight are expected in consumer, industrial, and medical applications. Full-color displays with video capability and eventually flexible displays on plastic substrates are expected to target future product opportunities.
