Knowledge Foundation Conference: Commercialization Advances in Small Molecule & Polymer Organic Light Emitting Devices

Commercialization Advances in Small Molecule & Polymer Organic Light Emitting Devices

April 26-27, 1999 ~ Loews Coronado Bay ~ Coronado, CA, USA

In-depth coverage of material issues surrounding the commercial applications of small molecule and polymer OLEDs.

[ Background | Agenda | Participants | Documentation | Registration Info ]

Organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices promise a new and exciting form of emissive display technology. OLEDs offer a path to low cost, large emissive displays by view of simple fabrication techniques. The combination of lightweight, flexibility, low power consumption and thin profile provides for an attractive technology. Topics to be covered include synthesis of new materials, fabrication and device development, failure mechanism studies and current limitations. Hear innovative insights into material discovery, fabrication and manufacturing perspectives by researchers from academia as well as industry leaders such as Hewlett-Packard, Universal Display Corporation, IBM and Philips. In addition, participate in an extensive panel discussion where manufacturing concerns will be addressed.

Be part of this unique opportunity to probe the latest advancements in both small molecule and polymer OLEDs. Research is advancing at a rapid pace, and you cannot afford to miss out on the advantages this technology can offer. REGISTER TODAY!
