LG Display Buys Rights To Use New OLED Technology
LG Display has signed a new OLED Technology license agreement with Universal Display Corporation, a move that will enable the Korean company to create energy-efficient OLED isplays and lighting using the UniversalPHOLED technology and materials.
Under the license agreement, Universal Display has granted LG Display non-exclusive license rights under various patents owned or controlled by Universal Display to manufacture and sell OLED display products. In consideration of the license grant, LG Display has agreed to pay Universal Display license fees and running royalties on its sales of these licensed products over the term of the agreement. Additionally, Universal Display will supply phosphorescent materials to LG Display for use in its licensed products.
"We are excited to enter into these agreements with our long-term partner LG Display, a global technology innovator who is leading the charge for OLED TVs, evidenced by its recent CES showcase of new 4K models ranging from 55", 65" and 77" in flexible, curved and flat form factors," said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display Corporation. "The growth of our relationship demonstrates the continued acceptance of our OLED technology and phosphorescent materials by the display industry for cutting-edge, high performance, energy-efficient commercial OLED displays.
