      Hi,

      ich kann mich liese nur anschließen.... gute Vorarbeit Mo!!!!

      Ich habe die ganzen Infos nur kurz überflogen, daher bitte ich Fehleinschätzungen meinerseits nachzusehen.

      Mein erster Eindruck: sehr interessant.........
      Aktie befindet sich gerade in einer Korrektur, die bis 8$ wenn es schlecht läuft auch bis 6$ oder gar 5$ geht. Spätestens aber bei 5$ dürfte der Boden gefunden sein. Mein Eindruck: Der Bericht auf the.street.com hat den Höhenflug bewirkt, da keine fundamentalen Neuigkeiten Ende Nov. Anfang Dez. gekommen sind. Die Nachricht über die Erteilung der Patente dürfte den Höhenflug nur zum Teil erklären, da die meisten Anleger mit der wirklich trockenen Techniksprache in so einem Patent recht wenig anfangen können. Das bedeutet für mich, daß es sinnvoll ist, die erste Euphorie abzuwarten, um sich dann einzudecken. Ich werde versuchen unter 8$ einzusteigen.

      Marktkapitalisierung ca.100 Mio. $ - das ist ok, wenn man bedenkt, was für ein Potential in PANL steckt. Man muß aber berücksichtigen, daß die wirklich nur die eine Geschichte am laufen haben. Wenn das mit den Plastik Displays schiefgeht ist der Laden wertlos- da lobe ich mir unsere OPC, wo wir dann immer noch fast in der Hinterhand haben.

      Dickes Minus im Geschäft- ist nicht so schön, aber auch nicht anderes zu erwarten.

      Anfang 99 private placement von Aktien - Verwässerung hat kein Aktionär gerne, aber nur 10% Verwässerung und zu damaligen Aktienkursen plaziert - die mußten also nicht mit irgendwelchen halbseidenen Varianten den Investoren die Aktie schmackhaft machen. Geld wird für Ausbau der Labor/Geschäftsräume genutzt, was ein akzeptabler Grund ist. Zudem müßten sie jetzt auch genug Cash haben um, eine Weile durchzuhalten.

      Homepage: sehr übersichtlich........... praktisch keine Finanzdaten, sehr viel Technik/Patente. Klarer Eindruck: da sind ausschließlich Wissenschaftler am Werk. Das ist zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ok, aber das muß sich natürlich ändern, schließlich wollen die 2001 sich und ihr Produkt verkaufen.


      Fazit:
      Die Situation von PANL ist durchaus mit der von OPC vor 1-2 Jahren vergleichbar.....sowohl in positiver wie auch in negativer Hinsicht. PANL hat ein riesiges Potential, aber bis jetzt nichts anderes als „nur" ein paar Patente im OLED Bereich und vollmundige Versprechungen. Sie stehen im Moment praktisch allein da, umgeben von großen Firmen, die auch in der Display Technik forschen. Ob sich das OLED Prinzip durchsetzen wird steht noch in den Sternen. Selbst wenn OLED sich durchsetzt steht noch nicht fest, ob dann PANL die Nase vorn hat. Das erinnert mich nun wirklich an unsere OPC. Bei OPC sind wir ja auf bestem Wege, vielleicht klappt es ja auch bei PANL.

      Bis jetzt ist PANL eine Wette. Wenn der Kurs aber noch ein wenig zurückkommt, kann man aber durchaus ein Spiel wagen. Ich würde mich wohler fühlen, wenn unser Patent Spezialist liese sich einmal die PANL Technik anschaut.

      Hi,
      Nagus hat völlig recht mit seinen Ausführungen, das mit der Konsolidierung hätte ich mit natürlich denken können - leider bin ich der Kaufpanik verfallen, nachdem ich einige Tage immer zu niedrig mit meinem (immer wieder erhöhten) Limit lag. Ich sehe PANL auch als hochspekulativ an, mein Einsatz ist daher relativ gering, vielleicht werde ich zur Vebilligung noch nachkaufen, wenn der Kurs tatsächlich auf 5-6 zurück kommt.
      Übrigens: Der letzte Anstieg hatte wie von Nagus gesagt keine "richtige" Begründung, war evtl. wirklich nur der streetcom-Artikel.

      Hi,

      kann sein, daß ich an allem etwas auszusetzen habe, aber die Eröffnung des Technologiezentrums war am Freitag den 10.12.99. Das dort gezeigte führte nicht unbedingt dazu, daß die Teilnehmer wie wild Aktien kauften so das der Kurs durch die Decke ging- im Gegenteil diese Woche gab es eine heftige Korrektur, erst nach der yahoo Meldung stieg die Aktie heute wieder. Das zeigt mir, daß der Kurs dieses sehr engen Wertes im Moment eher durch Emotionen als durch harte Fakten bestimmt wird. In der Meldung stand auch nichts drin, was nicht schon vorher bekannt war.

      Vielleicht bin ich auch nur enttäuscht, daß der Kurs nicht unter 8$ gegangen ist. ;) Wenn aber nicht harte Fakten folgen wird der Kurs sich auch wieder beruhigen und ich bin zuversichtlich, daß ich dann zum Zuge komme. Ich gebe zu bedenken, daß wir bei diesem Wert eine Menge Geduld mitbringen müssen, da noch Monate vergehen können, bis etwas zählbares herauskommt z.B. erster Serienprototyp oder potente Partner. Der Serienprototyp ist zwar 2000 angekündigt worden, aber es dürfte unwahrscheinlich sein, daß dieses im 1. Quartal geschieht, sonst hätten sie es explizit angekündigt. Eine monatelange Warterei dürfte uns bevorstehen, wobei das Warten das geringste Problem sein dürfte, schlimmer dürfte der Kursverlauf sein. Ich erinnere in diesem Zusammenhang wieder an OPC. Was eine monatelange nachrichtenlose Zeit bewirken kann, wissen wir ja auch noch aus leidvoller Erfahrung.


      Fragen:

      Gibt es im Net Möglichkeiten mehr über die technischen Aspekte von PANL rauszufinden?

      Besteht ein Kostenvorteil gegenüber den anderen Verfahren??? Gibt es explizite Aussagen seitens PANL??? Was Seligsohn von sich gegeben hat war doch recht blumig und wenig konkret.

      Auf der Homepage geben sie tolle exotische Anwendungsbeispiele für ihre Technologie an- das ist schön und langfristig eine riesige Sache, aber ist diese Technik auch bei solch „langweiligen" Einsatzfeldern wie PC-Monitor TV-Bildschirm vorteilhaft??? Gibt es diesbezüglich schon irgendwelche Vergleichstests???(vielleicht sogar von unabhängiger Seite) Bevor man neue Anwendungsfelder erschließt bzw. neue Produkte am Markt etabliert (was Jahre dauern kann) muß man sich in den stinknormalen Anwendungen beweisen, um mittelfristig cash zu generieren (macht weitere Verwässerungen überflüssig) und auch potentiellen Kunden zu beweisen, daß man eine ausgereifte verwertbare Technik besitzt. Es würde PANL dann wesentlich leichter fallen weitere Märkte zu erschließen.

      Was ist mit der Aktionärsstruktur???? Wer hält wieviel???

      Gibt es ein Feedback von einem der Teilnehmer der Eröffnung des Technologiezentrums am Freitag????


      Das wären die Fragen die mir spontan einfallen. Nicht das ich mißverstanden werde..... ich finde den Wert hochinteressant, aber bevor ich mein Geld in so einen riskanten Wert stecke möchte ich natürlich möglichst viele Infos.

      Hallo großer Nagus,

      zunächst mal: Beeindruckend was dir alles spontan als Frage einfällt !
      Ich versuche mal ein paar Antworten zu geben...
      a)Gibt es im Net Möglichkeiten mehr über die technischen Aspekte von PANL rauszufinden?
      Ich gehe jetzt mal davon aus, du meinst die technischen Aspekte der Technologie von PANL, nicht ihre technischen Möglichkeiten ?!
      Wissenschaftliche Quelldaten dazu gibt es mehr als genug in naturwissenschaftlichen Zeitchriften, leider sind die Artikel für den Laien nur schwer verständlich, da tiefgehende Kenntnisse sowohl in der organischen Chemie, als auch Physik bzw. Mikroelektronik Voraussetzung sind. Die Forschung auf diesem Gebiet hat das Attribut "interdisziplinär" wirklich verdient. Aber es gibt mittlerweile auch Firmen, die dieses Wissen in etwas "mundgerechtere" Häppchen geteilt haben (und das sogar häufig, ohne allzu grobe Fehler :-) ).
      Ein (gutes) Beispiel: www.covion.com
      Covion ist eine Höchsttochter, die unter anderem mit Cambridge Display Techn. zusammenarbeitet und sich mit der Produktion von PLED (=Polymer Light Emitting Diodes) bechäftigt. Achtung: OLED (--> Univ. Display, Organic Light Emitting Diode) nicht mit PLED verwechseln, da besteht ein Unterschied. PLED setzen sich, wie der Name ja andeutet, aus Polymeren zusammen, zählen also zu den Makromolekülen, während OLED aus niedermolekularen (kleinen) Molekülen bestehen. Stellt sich natürlich sofort die Frage, was ist besser ? Antwort: Das wird sich erst spät zeigen ! OLED sind nach gängigen chemsichen Verfahren sehr einfach herzustellen, oft ist dann aber beim Bau der Displays (oder was auch immer) Vakuum bzw. das Arbeiten mit Depositingtechniken nötig. Häufig sind auch Reinsträume nötig, das macht die Sache teuer. PLED sind in der Displayfertigung klar einfacher zu verarbeiten, machen aber die größere Mühe in der Forschung, da man sog. Precursor (also Vorstufen des endgültigen Polymers) dieser Substanzen designen muß. Diese Precursor sind löslich und man kann das sog. spin-coating zum Beschichten (Dicken bis hinab zu 10 nm möglich !!) von Flächen nutzen (sehr billig, sehr zuverlässig). Insofern ist dies ein großer Kostenvorteil, wenn man das Zeuchs erstmal hat, aber Forschung kann dauern ....
      Was wird sich durchsetzen ? Ich denke, eine friedliche Koexistenz wird hier möglich sein, so daß für den entspr. Einsatz das adäquate Produkt gewählt wird. Entscheidend für die Erreichung dieses Zustands wird die zeitliche Abfolge der Produkteinführung sein.
      Alternativn zu Covion ?
      Camb. Disp. Tech.: www.cdtltd.co.uk (PLED)
      Uniax: www.uniax.com (PLED)
      Kodak/Sanyo: www.kodak.com (OLED) (hier suchen nach OLED, ist etwas versteckt)

      Und jetzt ganz allgemein zur Entwicklung des PLED/OLED-Markts:
      Ich persönlich glaube, dass noch 2 Jahre bis zum Vollfarbdisplay aus Plastik vergehen werden, low-price Applikationen (Panels mit niedriger Auflösung, Hintergrundleuchten für LCD etc werden MItte nächsten Jahres in Stückzahlen verfügbar sein). Daher setze ich mittelfristig auf (Überraschung) FED (PIxtech, die sind ziemlich weit) und langfristig auf organische Displays (aus Kostengründen).

      soviel von mir

      Tja, der liese: technisch versiert wie immer - thanx für den Nachhilfeunterricht.
      Zum fragenden Nagus: Dass die Veranstaltung schon letzten Freitag statt fand, war mit wohl klar, dennoch hatte sie was mit dem steigenden Kurs zu tun. Wie das meistens so ist: Einige wissen schon vorher Bescheid, dazu kam dann noch der Streetcom-Artikel, der einfach dafür gesorgt hat, dass PANL in der (amerikanischen)Öffentlichkeit etwas bekannter wurde. Dass der Kurs nach der Veranstaltung nicht weiter gestiegen ist, wundert mich nicht: ein Hops von 4 auf 12 hat ja wohl einiges vorweg genommen und ausserdem wurde da ja nichts wirklich neues gezeigt. Nagus, wenn Du Reaktionen von Augenzeugen hören möchtest, sieh Dich mal im ragingbull-board um, da gabs 3-4 Beiträge. Tenor: Die Veranstaltung lief vor etwa 300 Leuten reibungslos ab und man konnte einige beeindruckende Anwendungsbeispiele sehen. Im gleichen board gibts ein paar grobe Schätzungen bzgl. der Herstellungskosten für OLED-Displays: Ein farbiges Handydisplay für 50 Cents scheint mir sehr billig zu sein, aber ich bin da kein Fachmann.

      Hi Mo und liese,

      es hat etwas länger gedauert, bis ich mich durch alle Infos gekämpft habe, aber ich habe es dann doch geschafft.

      Mein Eindruck ist, daß die PLED-Fraktion deutlich auskunftsfreudiger ist, wenn es um technische Details und um schon realisierte Anwendungen geht. Bei PANL zählen sie zwar alle möglichen tollen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten auf, nennen aber keine technische Details oder sagen etwas konkretes über den Stand der Umsetzung des Basiswissens (Patente) in mögliche praktische Anwendungen. Uniax hat bis jetzt nur einfache (einfarbige) Displays im Programm, aber selbst da könnte sich ein Mrd. Markt auftun und sie haben wenigstens etwas greifbares vorzuweisen.

      Beunruhigend ist auch die Phalanx der Unternehmen, die im Bereich der PLED arbeiten. Neben DuPont u. Hoechst sind auch Philips und Sanyo als große Partner an der Seite von uniax und cdt. PANL hat da wenig vorzuweisen, neben den Universitäten hängt da irgendwie noch das Verteidigungsministerium und Hughes mit drin. Die jetzigen Partner sind sicher in Ordnung wenn es darum geht, die Technik für sehr spezielle Anwendungen zu entwickeln, aber was PANL und wir bräuchten wäre ein Partner im Massenmarkt.

      An liese:
      Du hast gesagt, daß Du an einer friedlichen Koexistenz von PLED und OLED glaubst. So etwas gibt es in diesem Sinne nicht, da das bessere (billigere) Produkt des guten Produkt Feind ist. Wenn bei vergleichbaren technischen Daten die PLED wesentlich günstiger sind, dürfte das Ende der OLED besiegelt sein, bevor PANL richtig abkassieren konnte.

      Jetzt hat es PANL, nach Deinen Aussagen, vom technischen Ansatz her wesentlich leichter brauchbare Produkte zu entwickeln. Bestehen prinzipiell noch weitere Vorteile gegenüber den PLED, die einen etwas höheren Preis rechtfertigen könnten????
      Liegt der einzige (sehr schnell vergängliche) Vorteil „nur" im schnelleren Markteinführung???
      Kann man abschätzen wie lange die Entwickler von PLED brauchen um full color Displays zu entwickeln???

      An Mo:
      Ein richtiger pull back scheint auszubleiben. Die Kursexplosion scheint gut verdaut worden zu sein. Allerdings sind die Umsätze selbst in den Staaten recht dünn. Ich versuche weiter bei 8$ einen Fuß in die Tür zu bekommen.
      Die Diskussion im ragingbull ist leider auf keinem hohen Niveau. Außer „ich bin glücklich ...die Aktie steigt auf 50$.....wir werden reich....." bietet das board wenig informatives. Die 50 cent für ein Handydisplay waren einfach nur eine Schätzung eines Laien, er hatte auch eine beliebige andere Hausnummer nennen können.



      Ich bitte mir meine kritischen Bemerkungen nachzusehen, ich halte die ganze Plastikdisplay story für eine tolle Sache, bei der man richtig Geld machen kann. Um aber ein bißchen mehr als nur Spielgeld in PANL zu investieren muß ich mir relativ sicher sein, daß PANL das Zeug dazu hat richtig mitzumischen. Schließlich möchte ich in ein Unternehmen investieren, das an der Spitze einer neuen Technologie steht und nicht nur Geld in die Company stecken, weil die anderen (besseren) Unternehmen nicht börsennotiert sind.

      Hi Nagus,
      8,5$ - PANL droht mit Einstiegspreis ;-)
      Deine Bedenken kann ich schon verstehen, ich habe sie teilweise auch. Meine Überlegungen sind folgende:
      Wer kann wissen, was sich am Ende durchsetzt? FED, OLED, PLED oder vielleicht etwas ganz anderes, von dem bisher nur Laborforscher wissen? Also investiere ich gestreut, konkret bisher in Pixtech und PANL, um PLED muss ich mich noch kümmern.
      Natürlich sind die "Big Player" auch alle am Ball, aber wenn die in einem Teilgebiet Erfolge erzielen, wirkt sich das nicht so auf den Aktienkurs aus wie bei einer kleinen spezialisierten Firma. Mein Depot besteht fast ausschliesslich aus kleinen Firmen, Mainstream finde ich langweilig - aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache.
      Ich bin nicht selbstmörderisch veranlagt, darum investiere ich in solche Firmen nur kleine Summen. Wenn dann bei 10 Investitionen 2-3 Volltreffer (bei mir z.Zt. DCHT, Futurelink und Opticom) sind, macht es nichts, wenn der Rest rumdümpelt - mit dieser Strategie bin ich bisher sehr gut gefahren.
      Jedenfalls scheinst Du recht zu haben, was den Einstiegspreis angeht: Ich war mal wieder zu panisch, daß mir der Kurs wegläuft.

      Hi Mo,

      sicherlich macht es wenig Sinn in die großen Werte wie Kodak, Hoechst oder Philips zu investieren. Wenn die Plastik Displays sich durchsetzen wird sich das sicherlich positiv auf den jeweiligen blue chip auswirken, aber die sind so riesig, daß dieser Effekt sicherlich nicht mehrere hundert Prozent ausmacht. Der Kurs der Riesen wird zudem von vielen anderen Faktoren bestimmt, so daß eine Investition in einen kleinen Wert der sich ausschließlich mit den Plastik Displays beschäftigt mehr Sinn macht. Wenn man bedenkt, daß PANL gerade mal mit ca. 100 Mio. $ bewertet ist, dürfte wesentlich mehr Spielraum nach oben sein.

      Ich habe die blue chips in meinem letzten posting auch nicht erwähnt, weil ich in diese Werte investieren will, sondern weil es Partner von Uniax sind und somit die Firma Uniax und deren Produkte/Technologie erheblich aufwerten. PANL steht im Moment völlig alleine da und hat außer Versprechungen nichts vorzuweisen. Ein Einstieg eines großen Unternehmens würde die PANL Technologie adeln, da ein großes Unternehmen sich sicherlich genau mit der Technologie befaßt hat, bevor die auch nur eine müde Mark in so einen kleinen Schuppen wie PANL steckt. Für uns kleine Aktionäre ist es doch sehr schwierig aus der Ferne die Technologie und das Potential von PANL zu beurteilen, zumal sich PANL nicht sonderlich auskunftsfreudig gibt.

      Wenn man aber an die Zukunft von Plastik Displays glaubt, bleibt einem im Moment sowieso nicht anderes übrig als in PANL zu investieren, da die anderen Firmen entweder nicht an der Börse notiert sind oder riesige Konglomerate sind. Spannender ist im Moment eher die Frage wieviel investiert man und zu welchem Kurs?? Da jetzt alle drin sein dürften, die nach dem the.street Artikel die Aktie entdeckt haben, ist ein steigender Kurs eher unwahrscheinlich. Bei einer längeren nachrichtenlosen Zeit dürfte der Kurs noch deutlich abbröckeln. Allerdings würde der Einstieg eines Partners die Aktie explodieren lassen. Ich werde daher nicht warten bis der Kurs vielleicht bis auf 6$ gesunken ist, sondern werde bei 8$ schon mal ein wenig zugreifen.

      Hi,
      der PANL-Kurs hat in den letzten Handelstagen bei hohen Umsätzen einige Kapriolen gemacht (heute in der Spitze über 21$). Die grosse Korrektur ist ausgeblieben, es scheint auch ohne news bergauf zu gehen. Eigentlich wollte ich ja noch billig nachkaufen (meine erste Position habe ich für 10,5 erstanden) aber wenn sich der kleine Posten auf diese Weise vergrössert solls mir natürlich recht sein.
      Mangels aktueller News hänge ich mal einen Artikel aus der ct dran, der die grundlegenden Techniken (und Probleme) ganz gut beschreibt. Universal Display wird darin zwar nicht namentlich erwähnt, sondern Pioneer und Philips, aber ich baue auf den "Opticom-Effect" (Goliath Intel sah sich zur Zusammenarbeit mit David Opticom genötigt). Schliesslich hält PANL diverse Patente und die kürzliche Informationsveranstaltung scheint ja einigen Eindruck auf die Investoren gemacht zu haben.

      Organisch ins nächste Jahrhundert / Polymer-Displays auf dem Weg zum Massenmarkt

      Seit vor gut zehn Jahren die ersten organischen Leuchtdioden hergestellt wurden, hat die Forschung auf diesem Gebiet rasant an Fahrt gewonnen: Schon werden die ersten organischen Displays in Massenproduktion hergestellt.

      Vom 13. Bis 15. Mai trafen sich Vertreter von Wissenschaft und Industrie zur zweiten internationalen Konferenz `Elektrolumineszenz aus molekularen Materialien´ (ICEL2) in Sheffield (Großbritannien). Ein Highlight der dort vorgestellten Displays war der 5,2 Zoll (320 x 240 Pixel) große Farbbildschirm der Firma Pioneer. Er liefert ein brillantes Bild mit über 150 cd/m2 Helligkeit - das ist vergleichbar mit der Helligkeit eines LCD-Monitors - bei nur sechs Watt Leistungsaufnahme. Die Farbwiedergabe ist allerdings noch verbesserungswürdig, da das Bild aufgrund des sehr schwachen roten Farbanteils etwas kalt wirkt. Organische Moleküle, die effizient Strom in rotes Licht wandeln, sind zur Zeit noch nicht verfügbar.
      Nur sechs Watt Leistung benötigt dieser selbstleuchtende organische Farbbildschirm der Firma Pioneer. Er liefert ein brillantes und von allen Seiten betrachtbares Bild.

      Einen weiteren Knaller landete Pioneer mit der Ankündigung, das erste Massenprodukt mit organischem Display ab sofort in Japan auszuliefern: Die Autoradios MEH-P9000 und DEH-P9000 sind mit 88,5 x 21,0 mm2 großen organischen `Multi Colour´-Displays ausgestattet, die die Farben Grün, Gelb, Orange und Blau darstellen können. Die Helligkeit ist mit 45 cd/m2 groß genug für ein Autoradio. Um die Zeit im Stau zu verkürzen, bietet das Display viele animierte Grafiken.
      Organische Displays sind für diesen Zweck besser geeignet als LC-Displays, da sie temperaturstabiler sind und sich von jedem Blickwinkel aus ablesen lassen. Pro Monat sollen zirka 7000 dieser Geräte produziert werden; der Stückpreis liegt bei etwa 1300 Mark. Als leuchtenden organischen Halbleiter verwendet Pioneer keine Polymere, sondern sogenannte `kleine´ organische Moleküle, die im Hochvakuum aufgedampft werden: Dabei wird eine Metallplatte mit Löchern in Pixelgröße als Maske verwendet. Für jedes der drei verschiedenen Moleküle für rote, grüne und blaue Lichtemission muß die Maske um jeweils einen Pixel verschoben werden.

      Philips will demnächst größere Stückzahlen organischer Displays auf Polymerbasis produzieren. Robert-Jan Visser vom Philips Research Lab sprach von einem Output in der Größenordnung zehn Millionen cm2 Display-Fläche pro Jahr in der 1997 gebauten Fabrik in Heerlen (Niederlande). Hier sollen vor allem spezielle kundenspezifische Displays in großen Mengen beispielsweise für Auto-Tachometer hergestellt werden. Kleinere Matrixdisplays für Handhelds oder Palmsize-PCs sind wahrscheinlich erst in vier Jahren als Massenprodukt von Philips verfügbar.
      Die Polymere für die Produktion bezieht Philips bei der neu gegründeten Firma Covion, einem Zusammenschluß aus Aventis (Forschungsfirma von Hoechst) und Zeneca. Man produziert die Polymere bereits kommerziell in großen Mengen und mit sehr hoher Reinheit. Technologische Hilfe holte sich Philips durch Lizenzierung der patentierten Herstellungsverfahren der kalifornischen Firma Uniax.

      Umkehrung
      Da organische Dioden auch als Photodioden verwendbar sind, kann man sehr großflächige und lichtempfindliche Arrays bauen. Die Firma Uniax konnte erste beeindruckende Ergebnisse in dieser Richtung vorstellen: Photodioden-Arrays bis fünf Zoll Größe, 100 dpi Auflösung und 24 Bit Farbtiefe wurden auf Polymerbasis bereits hergestellt. In Zukunft könnte es damit möglich werden, sehr schnelle und kompakte Scanner herzustellen, da das Array so groß sein kann, daß es nicht mehr bewegt werden muß.

      Nach OLED (organic light-emitting device) und PLED (polymer light-emitting device) gibt es nun auch ein SLED (solution light-emitting device). Hierbei wird eine Polymerlösung zwischen zwei transparente Kontakte gebracht, die nach Anlegen einer Spannung leuchtet. Andere Forschungsgruppen versuchen, durch Ausrichten aller Moleküle in eine Richtung Lichtquellen zu bauen, die polarisiertes Licht abgeben, um sie als Hintergrundbeleuchtung für Flüssigkristall-Displays einzusetzen. Auf diese Weise könnte man die lichtschluckenden Polarisatoren einsparen.

      Die technischen Erfolge im Bereich Lebensdauer, Leuchtdichte und Effizienz von organischen Displays sind beeindruckend. Sie beruhen aber oftmals mehr auf hartnäckigem, systematischem Ausprobieren als auf echtem wissenschaftlichen Verständnis: zentrale Probleme, wie etwa der chemische und physikalische Mechanismus, der zur Alterung und Zerstörung von organischen Leuchtdioden führt, sind noch unverstanden. Es dürfte noch einige Jahre dauern, bis das `leuchtende Plastik´ die konventionelle Röhren- und LCD-Technik verdrängt hat. (wst)

      Unterthema: Leuchtendes Plastik
      Seit etwa 20 Jahren ist bekannt, daß spezielle organische Substanzen Halbleiter-Eigenschaften haben. Sie lassen sich grob in zwei Sorten unterteilen: Polymere und `kleine Moleküle´. 1989 (Tang und Van Slyke, Kodak) beziehungsweise 1990 (Robert Bradley, Cambridge) wurden die ersten Leuchtdioden aus organischen Halbleitern hergestellt; nur etwa zehn Jahre später gab es die ersten Polymer-Grafik-Displays. Versuche, die organischen Halbleiter auch zur Herstellung von Plastik-Chips einzusetzen, verliefen etwas langsamer: Im Oktober 1998 stellte Philips erstmals einen 15-Bit-Codegenerator vor, der ausschließlich aus Kunststoff bestand. Im Gegensatz zu LC-Displays gibt es bei organischen Anzeigen keine Beschränkung des Blickwinkels, die organischen Leuchtdioden funktionieren von minus 40 Grad Celsius bis 85 Grad Celsius und haben bis zu 1000mal schnellere Antwortzeiten als LC-Displays. Außerdem können die organischen Bildschirme theoretisch auch auf flexible Trägermaterialien aus Kunststoff aufgebracht werden. (wst)

      Hi Mo,

      das war wohl nichts mit meinem 8$- Limit.....naja Künstlerpech.

      Was ist los mit den Amis???? Im yahoo und bull -board drehen alle durch. Wissen die mehr oder ist da der kollektive Wahnsinn ausgebrochen?????

      Ohne neue fundamentale Neuigkeiten wie Prototyp oder potenter neuer Partner scheint mir der Höhenflug doch reichlich übertrieben, trotz des unglaublichen Potentials der Technologie.

      Bei der jetzigen Nachrichtenlage ist mir PANL deutlich zu teuer. Das Chance/Risikoverhältnis hat sich doch dramatisch verschlechtert. Im Moment bleibt mir wohl nichts anderes übrig, als auf eine allgemeine Korrektur der Technologiewerte in der nasdaq zu warten und die dürfte bald kommen.....

      Da sich hier meiner Ansicht nach viel Fachwissen "trifft" und ich andauernd von organischen Leuchtdioden gelesen habe haette ich mal eine Frage. Das Aachener Unternehmen Aixtron das Anlagen zur Herstellung von Verbindungshalbleitern produziert welche dann auch zur Herstellung von LEDs benoetigt werden sieht als einen ihrer zukunftig groessten Maerkte eben diesen Bereich der Leuchtdioden. Kann mir jetzt jemand erklaeren ob durch die Entwicklung der organischen Leuchtdiode ein Konkurrenzprodukt zur normalen LED entsteht oder ob Aixtrons Technologie auch in dieser organischen Form der Leuchtdiode benoetigt wird? Mein technisches Wissen ist in diesem Bereich praktisch nicht existent, so dass ich mich ueber Eure Einschaetzungen freuen wuerde. Bisher hielt ich Aixtron fuer eine Anlage die ich mehrere Jahre im Depot lassen konnte. Wenn diese neuartigen organischen Formen jedoch ganze Absatzmaerkte dieses Unternehmens wegbrechen lassen ist dies zu ueberdenken. Vielen Dank fuer alle Kommentare

      Hi Leute,

      waehrend meiner Diplomarbeit, hab ich an solchen Materialien gearbeitet. Organische Metalle sind ein faszinierendes Gebiet.

      Wer technische Vorbildung hat, den moechte ich auf die Zeitschrift

      Synthetic Metals (Elsevier Verlag)

      verweisen. Dort wird die Grundlagenforschung auf diesem Gebiet betreiben. Deutschland ist auf diesem Gebiet ziemlich vorne dabei.

      Zentren der Entwicklung in Deutschland sind die Universitaeten
      Stuttgart und Bayreuth. In Stuttgart ist das 3. Physikalische Institut unter der frueheren Leitung von Prof. Dr. Wolf (mittlerweile emeritiert)damit befasst. In Bayreuth wird die Entwicklung von der Abteilung Schwoerer vorangetrieben. Beide haben bis vor zwei Jahren den Sonderforschungsbereich Molekulare Elektronik getragen. Diese Institute stellen natuerlich ihr Gebiet auch im Web dar.

      Der Forschungchef von Aventis (vormals Hoechst) war frueher am 3. Physikalischen Institut in Stuttgart.

      Grundsaetzlich unterscheidet man bei Organischen Metallen, wie oben erwaehnt, zwischen leitenden Polymeren und so genannten Charge-Transfer-Komplexen, bei denen ein Ladunsuebertrag zwischen Komponenten der Substanz stattfindet. Aber das wird jetzt zu komplex.

      OLED (also organische Leuchtdioden) sind aber der Oberbegriff fuer beide Systeme.

      Bisher war das Problem bei OLEDs die Haltbarkeit, also die Anzahl der Betriebsstunden. Dieses Problem ist aber jetzt in Teilbereichen geloest. Und es kommen die ersten Displays in groesserem Umfang z.B. in Autoradios heraus.

      Grosse Vorteile sind die billige Herstellung und die Verformbarkeit, wenn man die OLEDs auf einem flexiblen Traeger erzeugt. Mittlerweile sind OLEDs in allen Farben verfuegbar. Jetzt existieren sogar schon Farbdisplays auf Grundlage dieser Organischen Materialien. Sie sind zwar noch mit einer sehr kleinen Bilddiagonale als Prototypen ausgestattet.

      Uebrigens leitende Verbindungen auf Kohlenstoffbasis, sind nicht besonderes, da braucht man nicht die beruehmten Nanoroehrchen, da reich schon simpler Graphit. Aber auch mit Nanoroehrchen lassen sich tolle Sache machen, z.B. Aktuatoren (z.B. kuenstliche Muskeln, die Viel staerker als natuerliche sind, die Herstellung ist verblueffend einfach), Dioden und Transistoren lassen sich direkt auf einem Molekuel realisieren (Achtung: Das ist noch in Grundlagenforschungsbereich, funktioniert aber schon). Ausserdem lassen sie sich als Schadstoffdetektoren benutzen. Und wie ich schon in einem anderen Thread (Ballard) erwaehnt habe, sollen sie der Wasserstoffspeicherung dienen (fuer Brennstoffzellenanwendungen).

      Hi,
      erstmal dank an pfg für "technischen Hintergrund".
      An Friedhelm Pusch: geh doch mal auf die Webseite von UDC (www.universaldisplay.com) und sieh Dir die möglichen Applikationen an. Vielleicht kannst Du Deine Frage bzgl. Aixtron dann selbst beantworten.
      Ansonsten habe ich noch ein interessantes Posting bei Raginbull gefunden (http://www.ragingbull.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=PANL&read=… :

      One article you may want to check out is the September 1999 issue of Money World. Its section on Tech Trends reports on "The Missing Link: Paper-thin flat panel displays are the future". Granted its not a widely spread magazine, but it was what got me into Panl in early Oct at $3.5 a share (boy I wish I picked up more at that price now). Wasn`t expecting this to take off so quickly - but not complaining either.
      The article is two pages, pretty much all focused on PANL and the technology.

      Some interesting quotes from the article:

      "It`s the missing link," says Steve Abramson, president and COO of UDC. "Industry leaders are observing that the screen is the key to the future of the computer and the Internet."
      "UDC has a similar business model of design, development, licensing and marketing as Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS), a high-tech giant that develops and licenses high-performance, chip-to-chip interface technology," says DeWitt, "With a near term target of $15 million and an upside potential on this technology, UDC is another Rambus in the making."
      "Rambus Inc., has gone from zero to a market cap of almost $2.5 billion. The market is giving it a premium multiple on its anticipated future earnings because this business model inherently carries no inventory risk."
      "I project UDC has the same remarkable potential," says DeWitt. "It`s interesting that the display business is as yet an undiscovered industry in the investment community."
      [Note: DeWitt is president of DeWitt Investment Research & Management Inc., in Wayne, PA]
      The rapidly growing display market, considered one of the largest, fastest-growing industries in the world today, is currently estimated at $40 billion annually worldwide and is projected to experience the same rate of growth as the semiconductor industry. OLED architecture is expected to be the technology of choice in that market.
      Based on industry information, the biggest part of the flat panel display market is notebook computers, which is roughly a $12 billion market. There`s a lot of user demand for the product, but LCDs are very expensive.

      Hi Friedhelm Pusch,

      um Aixtron brauchst du dir mal fuers erste keine Sorgen machen. Die zwei Techniken sind sehr verschieden. Um es mal vereinfacht zu sagen,
      Aixtron arbeitet mit Sand am Meer (Silizium, Halbleiter also), und OLEDs sind wie der Name schon sagt Organische Materialien. Als organische Materialien bezeichnet man in der Regel Substanzen, die Kohlenstoff enthalten, weil Kohlenstoff der Grundstoff allen Lebens ist.

      Aixtron befasst sich zur Zeit auch mehr mit der Herstellung von Laser-Dioden auf Siliziumbasis und anderer kristalliner Systeme wie GaAs.

      Um deine Aixtron-GeldAnlage musst du dir deshalb meiner Meinung nach keine Sorgen machen. Das sind einfach zwei sehr verschiedene Felder, die jede fuer sich Vor- und Nachteile haben, aber auf einigen Gebieten eben auch gemeinsame Anwendungen haben. Die Techniken, die verwendet werden, sind eben, wie schon oben erwaehnt, grundverschieden.

      1000 Dank fuer Eure Ratschlaege und technischen Erlaeuterungen. Werde den Teufel tun und
      meine Aixtrons verkaufen da es ein einmaliger Wert ist am NM. Deine Erklaerungen pfg waren
      aber sehr beruhigend. Durch diesen Thread bin ich auf Opticom aufmerksam geworden und

      Hier ein Artikel aus dem "Hamburger Abendblatt" zum Thema. Namentlich erwähnt wird zwar nur Siemens, aber wer würde von denen schon Aktien kaufen ?-)

      AUFROLLBARE MONITORE / von Barbara Dufner

      Folien, Tapeten oder gar Vorhänge als großflächige, videotaugliche Monitore - hauchdünn und aufrollbar? Ein flexibles Display, der sich aus dem Handy herausziehen lässt wie das Maßband bei der Weitsprung-Messung? Eine virtuelle Zeitung, "gedruckt" auf einer Plastikfofie, deren Information sich via Satellit und integriertem Chip ständig aktualisiert, E-Mails auf dem Ziffernblatt einer Uhr oder selbstständig die Farbe wechselnde Rücklichter!
      "Es wird schon noch einige Jahre dauern - aber wie sind dabei; der Anfang ist gemacht", sagt Dr. Wolfgang Rogler. Er leitet das Projekt "Organische Licht Emittierende Dioden" (OLED) vom Erlanger Forschungszentrum der Siemens-Zentralabteilung Technik.
      Denn der Schlüssel dieser Zukunftstechnologie liegt im Material: den organischen Stoffen, zu denen eben auch der Kunststoff gehört. Und Plastik hat - im Gegensatz zu den Halbleiter-Materialien der bisherigen Flachbildschirme, den flüssigkristallinen LCDs - den Vorteil, dass es nicht nur billig ist, sondern sich auch großflächig und extrem sparsam auftragen lässt.
      Die Siemens-Mitarbeiter profitieren von einem Effekt, den Forscher der Universität Cambridge vor zehn Jahren entdeckten: die Elektroluminiszenz von Kunststoffen; dass auch kleine Plastikpartikel unter Einfluss von Spannung hell aufleuchten.
      Im Prinzip ist es das, was man aus dem Chemieunterricht kennt: Elektronen werden durch eine angelegte äußere Spannung aus ihren Atomschalen in einen höheren Energiezustand gehoben und fallen anschliessend von allein in das niedrigere Energieniveau zurück. Beim Herunterfallen senden sie eine bestimmte Menge an Energie ab, die sich in einer spezifischen Wellenlänge des Lichts und somit in einer spezifischen Farbe äußert. Diese Farbe nutzen die Forscher für die Bildschirmdarstellung und zwar direkt.
      Denn durch das farbspezifische Eigenleuchten der Polymer-Moleküle entfällt nicht nur die bei LCDs notwendige Hintergrundbeleuchtung, sondern auch die obligatorischen Farbfilter. Das bunte Spektrum kommt von innen heraus.
      Bekanntlich lässt sich unsere kolorierte Welt durch Kombination von drei Farben wiedergeben. In OLED-Sprache heißt das drei verschiedene Kunststoffe: Polythiophen ergibt unter Spannung ein rotes Licht, Polyflour ist für Blau und das Polyphenylenvinylen ist für Grün zuständig. Durch einfache chemische Modifikationen der Plastikpartikel lassen sich die Lichtfarben "mischen", so daß wir neben Grau oder Violett beispielsweise auch Weiß erhalten können.
      Um aus dem Plastik ein OLED-Display zu kreieren, müssen die Kunststoffmoleküle unter elektrische Spannung gesetzt werden. Die Siemens-Forscher haben eine praktische Lösung gefunden: Auf Glas - oder sonstige durchsichtige Trägersubstanzen wie etwa biegsame transparente Folie - tragen sie "wenige Atom-Lagen" Indium-Zinn-Oxid auf - und erhalten einen lichtdurchlässigen, positiv geladenen Leiter. Diese "Anode" wird mit den Polymermolekülen in einem Rotationsguss-Verfahren hauchdünn und absolut leichmässig überzogen.
      Als dritte Lage wird eine negativ geladenene Kathode - eine Kombination aus Metallen - aufgedampft. Insgesamt bleibt das Elektro-Sandwich schmaler als die Hälfte eines Tausendstel Millimeters, also dünner als 500 Nanometer. Damit liegen OLEDs im Größenbereich der Wellenlänge des Lichtes. Jedenfalls als "Rohfassung".
      Denn ein wenig legt das Minisystem noch zu: Es muss versiegelt werden. Die organischen Moleküle der OLEDs zersetzen sich nämlich, sobald sie mit Wasser oder Sauerstoff in Berührung kommen.
      Natürlich macht sich diese Sensibilität auch bei der Produktion bemerkbar: In hermetisch abgeriegelten Glaskabinen, teilweise unter Vakuum, werden die einzelnen Schichten aufgebracht.
      Doch trotz dieses heiklen Makels: Der Triumphzug eines ausgereiften OLED-Displays wird kaum aufzuhalten sein. Dafür ist die Vision zu rosig: kostengünstige, brillante Farben auf Riesenschirmen unter einem Betrachtungswinkel von nahezu 180 Grad!
      Im Kleinen wurde die OLED-Technik bereits realisiert: als winziges Display auf einer Chipkarte. Es zeigt an wie viel Geld sich noch auf dem virtuellen Konto befindet - ohne dass der Besitzer dafür ein externes Lesegerät benötigt. Es funktioniert, weil sich Mikroprozessor, Eingabetaste, Stromversorgung und ein papierdünner Monitor in eine normale Kreditkarte integrieren lassen. Unvorstellbar, einen LCD-Schirm in die millimeterdünne Kreditkarte zu pressen!

      Hi beginnna,
      das ist natürlich immer die Gretchenfrage: Wann einsteigen? Wie Nagus weiter oben schon gesagt hat, kann es sein, dass längere Zeit keine Nachrichten von UD kommen und der Kurs dann abbröckelt. Merkwürdigerweise hat sich der Kurs aber in letzter Zeit trotz genau dieser Situation behauptet, was ja eigentlich ein gutes Zeichen ist. Ich sehe die Sache einfach so: UD ist hochspekulativ, d.h. wenn die Spekulation aufgeht ist es relativ egal ob Du bei 5, 10 oder 15 eingestiegen bist - wenn nicht, ist Dein Geld weg. Deswegen würde ich nur einen kleinen Betrag investieren, aber das kann es bei solchen Werten richtig bringen, wenn man im Frühstadium dabei ist. Ich habe mit dieser Strategie z.B. mit Opticom und DCHT riesige Gewinne gemacht (im Moment virtuell, weil ich beide Aktien noch halte).
      Auf jeden Fall mit Limit einkaufen, denn UD ist ganz schön volatil!
      Gruss,

      Hi b.eginna,
      ich bin halt etwas vorsichtig im Moment und würde Limits eher zu niedrig als zu hoch ansetzen. Warum? Ganz einfach, ich denke, dass wir in naher Zukunft eine Korrektur (zurückhaltend ausgedrückt) erleben werden. Schwer voraus zu sagen, wie UD dann reagiert ...
      Ich halte seit einigen Tagen 50% Cash bereit und warte u.a. auch bei UD auf Nachkaufgelegenheiten.
      Übrigens: Die Beteiligung am Thread wird schon nochmal besser werden, UD ist hier noch total unbekannt und es kamen ja auch fast keine Nachrichten. Und: Danke für die Blumen - Ich liebe Mauerblümchen ;-)

      Zeitungsartikel P.M. Februar 2000

      Extremer Flachbildschirm.
      FERNSEHER ZUM AUFROLLEN

      Computer- und Fernsehmonitore werden einer radikalen Abmagerungskur unterzogen: Forcher der im englischen Cambrige arbeiten daran, sie auf Kartondicke abzuspecken. Dazu benutzen sie den Kunststoff Polyphenylenvinylen ( PPV ), den sie zwischen zwei transparente Elektroden aus Indium-Zinn-Oxid pressen. PPV besteht aus Riesenmolekühlen, den sogenannten Polymeren. Durch das Anlegen einer kleinen Spannung hüpfen die Elektronen in den Molekühlen auf eine größere Umlaufbahn. Beim Zurückfallen geben sie ihre Energie als Licht ab - das Plastik leuchtet. Farbe brachten die Briten in den Grauton, indem sie eine der Elektorden mit wenzig kleinen Tropfen roten, grünen und blauen Plastiks besprühten. Die neue Herstellungstechnik ermöglicht hauchdünne Bildschirme, die sich wie eine Zeitung zusammen rollen lasse. Sie könnten einer Tages sogar die Papiertapeten erstetzen, sodass die Wand zum Fernseher wird.

      Ist diese Firma in der Entwicklung weiter, als UD ? weiß jemand ob diese Firma als Aktiengesellschaft notiert ist ?

      Du bist nicht allein.

      Ich warte immer noch auf meinen Einstiegskurs von 8$ ;)

      Jetzt aber mal im Ernst. Ich habe 200 Stck zu 16$ gekauft, damit ich UDC nicht aus den Augen verliere. Ich weiß im Moment nicht wie ich die Lage einschätzen soll. Bis jetzt gibt es keine news, die diesen Anstieg rechtfertigen könnten, es sei denn einige wissen wieder mehr als wir. Ich warte weiter auf eine günstige Einstiegschance, es kann aber auch sein, daß ich bei 100$ immer noch auf diese Chance hoffe :) :)

      Da ich die heißgelaufene nasdq mit einer gewissen Nervosität betrachte, unabhängig von dem Geblubber von einer rotierenden Korrektur und das alles weiter steigen wird, warte ich lieber ab, da UDC jetzt doch einiges an Rückschlagpotential aufgebaut hat.

      na da bin ich aber erleichtert - das sind ja schon 2 Gemeinsamkeiten (OPC+PANL). Habe übrigens auch nur 200 UDCs (für 10) gekauft, bei 8 würde ich allerdings nachkaufen ;)
      Habe mal in Amiboards nachgeschaut, aber nix gefunden, ausser dass der kanadische Displayhersteller Luxell (Partnerfirma von UDC) in den letzten 5 Tagen von 4 auf 10$ geschossen ist (siehe: http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=LUX.V&d=5d)
      Es gibt (wirklich nur) Gerüchte, daß Luxell bald einen dicken Auftrag zur Produktion von OLED-Displays von einer grossen Taiwan-Firma erhält.

      mir fällt schon eine weile auf, daß du öftersmal so dinger mit neuer technology ausgräbst. hast du da spezielle research-sides?
      das mit dem alleinunterhalter kenne ich übrigens zu genüge. habe mir anstatt panl einige biotechs zugelegt. wenn man da nicht 1000% oder wenigstens "unentdeckte perle" dazu schreibt, interessiert sich wirklich kein schwein für eine aktie. eigentlich schade, die dinger sind (wenn auch nicht ganz so gut wie panl) fantastisch gelaufen.

      Habe auch schon unter "Revolutionäre" auf "PANL" (Nasdaq-Kürzel) hingewiesen. Resonanz denkbar gering.
      Aber die dt. Lemminge werden auch noch draufkommen.
      Bis dahin: Freuen und genießen!

      Hi,

      keiner ärgert sich mehr als ich über den überraschend rasanten Kursanstieg. Ich hatte eigentlich vor, wesentlich mehr in UDC zu investieren und habe dementsprechend auch schon Cash bereitgestellt, nur habe ich leider zu lange mit dem Einstieg gewartet. :(

      Das in diesem thread nicht viel los ist stört mich nicht, ganz im Gegenteil eine kleine verschworene Gemeinde ist meist ein Garant für ein gewisses Niveau der Beiträge. Wenn ich mir den ganzen Müll im Neuen Markt Board ansehe wird mir schlecht. Was da so von pubertierenden Kindern, Möchtegerntradern und einfach nur dummen Menschen geposted wird ist nicht mehr zu ertragen. Die Aktien mit den meisten Beiträgen steigen zwar rasant, aber genauso schnell fallen diese Frittenbuden auch wieder zusammen. Geld kann man mit diesen Buden nur als daytrader machen, alle anderen zahlen letztlich nur drauf. Wenn man wie ich nicht jeden Tag alle 0190-hotlines abhören will, um zu wissen was für ein push gerade läuft, ist mit Werten wie OPC und UDC gut bedient. Beide Aktien sind zwar extrem spekulativ, sind aber nicht davon abhängig was irgendein Guru gerade dazu zu sagen hat. Ich denke beide Aktien werden ihren Weg machen; auch ohne dem Geschrei von irgenwelchen Gurus und deren Anhängerschaft.

      Liebe Mitstreiter oder darf ich Triumvirat (Nagus, rostro, tgfn) sagen ?! ;)

      tgfn, Du schreibt "mir fällt schon eine weile auf, daß du öftersmal so dinger mit neuer technology ausgräbst. hast du da spezielle research-sides?"
      Nein, habe ich nicht - aber ein paar gute Freunde und Mailkontakte, ausserdem stöbere ich täglich mindestens 1 Stunde im WO-Board und manchmal auch bei den Amis (ragingbull, techinvestor).

      Übrigens habe ich vielleicht gerade was wirklich ganz heisses ausgegraben, dagegen sind UDCs organische Leuchtdioden Grobtechnik:
      Es geht um eine US-Nanotechnik-Firma, die noch nicht börsennotiert sind. Man kann sich aber schon direkt pre-ipo beteiligen, ich bin jedenfalls seit kurzem drin. Da es hier wirklich um Venturekapital im ursprünglichen Sinn geht, war ich erstmal vorsichtig - ab 600$ ist man dabei, d.h. man muß mindestens 100 Aktien zum Ausgabepreis von 6$ kaufen.
      Neugierig? Also:
      Die Firma heisst CALMEC, detaillierte Infos gibts auf der Website www.calmec.com. Sie forschen im Bereich Molekularelektronik und haben bereits einen patentierten Molekularschalter entwickelt.
      Ich bin durch einen Freund mit guten US-Kontakten drauf gestossen, habe etwas recherchiert und bin eingestiegen. Wo hat man heute schon mal die Chance, sich an einer Nanofirma im Anfangsstadium zu beteiligen? Denkt nur an die schwindelerregenden Bewertungen von börsennotierten Nano-Firmen ...
      Schaut Euch mal die Website an, ich werde auch einen eigenen Thread dazu aufmachen und zwar im Board "Venture Kapital".

      hi mo,
      du dafst quartett sagen, ihr seid nicht zu dritt, ich bin auch noch dabei! und, nagus, ich habe mich noch mehr als du geärgert, weil meine order bei 13.50 limitiert war, der kurs letzte woche aber leider nur bis 13.8 runtergekommen ist. als dann der kurs ausbrach habe ich vergeblich auf eine (leichte) korrektur gewartet. das passierte bis gestern nicht und deshalb bin ich leider etwas "teuer" eingestiegen, bei 33 US. ich bin jedoch glücklich die papiere endlich zu haben, da ich von der story (natürlich auch durch mos vorzügliche arbeit, hier nocheinmal ein wiederholtes lob!) wirklich überzeugt bin und sowieso "long" bin. und die unterlagen, die mo weiter oben vorgestellte, (samstag bestellt-heute angekommen) sprechen wirklich für sich. zur beteiligung in diesem board: ich kann nagus nur recht geben. seit einem halben jahr halte ich OTI. wenn ich mir diese flut von unqualifiziertem gesülze und beschimpfungen (natürlich mit einigen ausnahmen der "seriösen" threadbetreiber) anschaue, bin ich schon sehr froh, daß dieser thread davon verschont ist. zu calmec: habe ich mit einem freund auch schon mal diskutiert. problem der sache ist natürlich, daß man sehr wenig einsicht hat und eine menge risikobereitschaft und vertrauen gefragt ist, da es keine geprüften garanten gibt, es sei denn, man schaut sich den laden vor ort einmal an (oder sehe ich das falsch?) ich bin bei solchen sachen eher vorsichtig, andererseits hat mo vollkommen recht: wann hat man schon mal eine solche chance. und eine handvoll dollar kann man sich ja auch mal von den noch anstehenden universal gewinnen abzwacken und auf risiko gehen, oder? no risk - no fun, in diesem sinne: einen schönen abend euch allen !

      nicht lachen (Mo, Nagus, etc.), ich bin jetzt (endlich) auch eingestiegen, nachdem zuerst 7.-, dann 12, 15 Euro usw. an mir vorüberzogen (schluchz). Allerdings traut man sich ja hier kaum noch einen (Einstiegs-)Kurs zu nennen (wenn man sich unsere Super-Broker im Pixtech-Thread anschaut (was sag` ich, in den Millionen von Threads dazu...)).
      Also: Mein Einstieg war kursmaessig sch..., aber egal, die Firma hat Potential. Ohne das Gepushe aus den anderen Threads kolportieren zu wollen, darf man m.E. in diesem Fall zu Recht von einem 2. OPC reden....., nur, bis da was nennenswertes mit dem Preis passiert, dauert es gut und gerne noch ca. 1-2 Jahre. Na und, Scheuklappen auf und durch !
      Zur Technik findet man schon so viele qualifizierte Beiträge, da fühlt man sich fast so wohl, wie im OPC-Thread ;-) und muß nichts mehr hinzufügen. Gute Arbeit, meine Damen und Herren.

      An Mo bzgl. WED:
      Übrigens, die Dresdener Bank sieht keine Probleme WED in Toronto zu handeln ! Sagt zumindest ein Freund, ich versuche es aber z.Zt. noch über die Deuba, das muss doch auch gehen ....

      Hallo noch wer da?

      Ich denke über einen Einstieg nach. Das interessiert zwar niemanden ernsthaft, aber vielleicht macht es mir ja einer von Euch etwas leichter.

      High Techs sind an der Nasdaq im Moment MEGAOUT.
      Insbesondere Firmen die nur Phantasie und keine knallharten Fakten (Gewinne/Umsatz)zu bieten haben werden böse verprügelt. Die Korrektur dürfte insgesamt noch nicht abgeschlossen sein, zumindest dürfte in absehbarer Zeit ein Höhenflug der Nasdaq unwahrscheinlich sein. Da UDC im Moment nur heiße Luft zu bieten hat, dürfte es daher wohl eher gen Süden gehen, es sei denn, es kommen neue tolle Nachrichten. Meine Kursziele (kurzfristig) 15$, 10$......
      Aber keine Panik, langfristig ist UDC immer noch eine Aktie mit riesigem Potential (und Risiko). In nächster Zeit dürfte es aber gute Einstiegschancen geben. Für Leute die nicht oder zu spät eingestiegen sind ist das DIE Gelegenheit ihre Position auszubauen.

      Company Press Release
      Luxell & Universal Display Selected To Present Scientific Paper Describing New Black Layer/Organic Electroluminescent Display Technology At Leading International Symposium On Display Science
      TORONTO, ONTARIO--Luxell Technologies Inc. (CDNX:LUX) today announced that it will present, with Universal Display Corporation (NasdaqSC:PANL - news; NASDAQ:PANL - news) of Ewing, New Jersey, a scientific paper on the groundbreaking work the two companies have undertaken to integrate Luxell`s patented black layer technology with Universal`s patented transparent organic electroluminescent technology.

      The presentation will occur May 17, 2000 at SID`00, the Annual Symposium of the Society for Information Display which takes place next week in Long Beach, California.

      The Symposium is the primary international learned conference for engineers and scientists involved in the global electronic display industry. All papers presented at it are screened and selected by an independent jury to ensure that they advance substantively the body of formal knowledge that underpins the science and technology of electronic displays.

      The paper entitled Contrast Enhancement of OLED Displays has been written by Dr. David Johnson and Dr. Peter Hofstra of Luxell and by Dr. Theodore X. Zhou and Dr. Julie J. Brown of Universal Display Corporation. It outlines how the new black layer/organic display package is structured and discusses the considerable technical and cost benefits it offers manufacturers of solid-state organic-based electroluminescent (OEL) displays.

      The main benefits are that it significantly improves the legibility and reliability of OEL displays and reduces the cost of manufacturing them.

      The benefits act as a technology ``enabler`` that has the potential to accelerate the pace at which solid-state organic-based electroluminescent displays are deployed in consumer, industrial, automotive and aerospace display markets around the world.

      Stanford Resources, a recognized supplier of independent market intelligence on the international electronic display industry, predicts that the combined sales of electroluminescent type displays will accelerate from (Can) $166 million in 1999 to over (Can.) $1 billion by 2005. This forecast predates the development of the black layer organic package.

      ``The SID conference presentation, reviewed by a highly credible third party, is a tremendous opportunity to present to the display world the ground-breaking benefits of integrating Luxell`s black layer with organic-based electroluminescent displays`` stated Dr. Peter Hofstra, Luxell`s Vice President of Research and Development. ``We have developed a new technology that has the potential to make black layer a standard element of solid-state OEL flat-panel displays.``

      The potential benefits of the new technology package include high contrast legibility even in bright sunlight that allows for:


      - exceptional display clarity
      - an increase in display life
      - reduced display thickness and weight
      - increased manufacturing yield
      - reduced display assembly time
      - minimizing the packaging material required in a commercial product
      - reduced cost of manufacturing displays
      - reduced power consumption


      UDC has been developing OEL technology with Princeton University and The University of Southern California (USC) since 1994. This partnership is committed to the innovative research and commercialization of this proprietary OEL technology for applications such as flat-panel displays, lasers and light generating devices. UDC is located in a new 11,000 sq. ft. facility, just 20 minutes away from one of its research partners, Princeton University, and includes a pilot production line along with the technology development and transfer functions, including a 2,500 sq. ft. clean room. UDC is located in Ewing, NJ, USA, and its common shares are traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol PANL and on the Philadelphia Exchange under PNL.

      Luxell Technologies Inc. develops, manufactures and markets solid-state flat-panel displays and systems based on inorganic electroluminescent (EL) technology and on emerging organic electroluminescent (OEL) technology. Luxell displays provide industry-leading performance features that include crisp, clear images that are readable in all light conditions ranging from total darkness to full sunshine and from extremely wide angles. These displays can also operate over a broad temperature range. They are suitable for demanding defense, aerospace and transportation applications as well as for medical monitoring systems, test equipment, industrial process control systems and global positioning systems.

      Luxell`s unique competitive position is based on its patented black layer technology. When the new technology package becomes commercially available, the company expects it to gain acceptance in targeted sectors of the global electronic display market. Luxell Technologies Inc. is a publicly traded company with its common shares quoted on the Canadian Venture Exchange under the symbol ``LUX``.

      Hi Mo2,

      Du scheinst ja dem Ausbruch kräftig entgegenzufiebern, ich bin mit meinem Fieber immerhin nur 2 Std. hinten dran.
      Solche Nachrichten sind immer gut, vor allem deshalb, weil es ja noch zahlreiche Konkurrenten gibt, die zwar auch mit OLEDs
      herumdoktern, aber noch lange nicht die Reife für den großen Markt besitzen, sei es wegen Kosten, Lebensdauer, Zuverlässigkeit...
      Heute gab es einen Schritt in Richtung Kostenminimierung.
      Ich hebe immer gerne die Kooperation mit Luxell hervor. Luxell besitzt die Technologie für optische Beschichtungen, die speziell
      den Wirkungsgrad der OLEDs drastisch erhöht, was entsprechend den Leistungsverbrauch reduziert (portable Geräte) und die
      Lebensdauer steigert.

      Für Interessierte kann ich noch folgende Websites empfehlen:

      http://www.stereo3d.com/future.htm

      http://www.usdc.org/

      So, dann drücken wir unserer UDC die Daumen (und uns natürlich auch)

      bis demnächst

      Hallo Henric,
      "dem Ausbruch entgegenfiebern" tue ich nicht - UDC gehört zu den ganz wenigen Aktien, wo ich wirklich long bin. Zu diesem erlauchten Kreis gehören bei mir nur noch Opticom, Solon und 2x Brennstoffzellen (DCHT + Ballard). Bin am überlegen, auch bei den Displays auf zwei Pferde zu setzen, d.h. Luxell zu kaufen, bei 4$ sind sie ja eigentlich schon ein Schnäppchen ...

      Hi Mo2,

      nimm`s nicht so direkt mit dem Fieber, wir wissen beide genau, daß z.Zt. Geduld
      und Überzeugung von der Sache besonders gefragt sind. Wer weiß, welche Marken
      der Kurs in den nächsten Wochen noch durchquert.
      Wegen der von Dir angesprochenen Zweigleisigkeit bin ich gleichzeitig in Luxell und
      UDC eingestiegen.
      Ansonsten besitze ich aus dieser Kategorie Precision Optics (POCI), irgendwann
      wahrscheinlich auch ein Übernahmekandidat von Corning (GLW).

      An Investment Method So Simple You Might Overlook It
      By Laurel Kenner and Victor Niederhoffer, Columnists

      If the Net is here to stay, and Net leaders are plain to see, what`s so tough about investing?

      ``The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters is simplicity.``-- Walt Whitman (1819-1892), preface to Leaves of Grass

      Yesterday, we published some thoughts on why we believe day trading and hypertrading are losing games. Today, we will discuss an elegant alternative approach suggested to us by reader Jim Daniels. It`s so simple that some of the people we initially showed it to scoffed. But as Daniels says, ``sometimes the answer is right under noses and we still miss it.``

      Here is the method: Ask, ``Who would I work for if I were in a particular field?``

      You`d want to work for the leader, of course. And those are the very stocks you should buy and hold.

      As a veteran Internet programmer who has worked in technology centers ranging from NASA Langley to AT&T to Lucent Bell-Labs, the field Daniels knows is tech. And the companies he`d want to work for if he ever left his present employer can be counted on two hands. Here is his list:

      Cisco Systems (Nasdaq:CSCO - news)
      EMC Corp. (NYSE:EMC - news)
      Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP - news)
      Intel (Nasdaq:INTC - news)
      Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq:SUNW - news)
      Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL - news)

      ``Ask me how many 35-year-olds I know who have close to, if not over $1 million,`` because they regularly bought their company`s stock through a 401(k) or stock purchase program, Daniels writes.

      ``Now consider the novice investor`200¦doesn`t know Oracle from Unix or Netscape from Pentiums. If he does buy stocks, it`s the hot issue from a friend or broker. He gets burned on volatility and abandons stocks for mutual funds. Some get lucky and buy good funds through dollar cost averaging and through the years they do OK. Not as good as my friends at these companies, though! Same mindless way of investing! Just done on different vehicles. One, on great company stock, and the other on a diversified fund with little to no potential for triple-digit growth.``

      ``Why not just dollar-cost average into these great companies as though we worked there? Like most people do in funds? We would have a lot more chance of catching a big ride, because we`re not as diversified as most mutual funds, and we don`t have to worry about them going out of business since these companies are going be around for years to come, if you believe in the Net.

      ``I admit that there are no real guarantees here, but from where I sit, these are the IBMs of the Net World,`` Daniels writes. ``Maybe ever changing cycles will prevail, or someone else will do it all better. From where I sit, it doesn`t look like it. If someone was going to invest, this is how and where. Another benefit is that this method would leave plenty of time for life. Simple, elegant, and from what I`ve seen, very effective.``

      Ron Freeman, a business valuation specialist who retired March 31 after 30 years as a CPA, says the approach has worked for him since he became a serious long-term investor seven years ago. ``I am a believer in Internet infrastructure-related businesses that are industry leaders, have significant intellectual property and other barriers to entry.`` Freeman writes.

      ``I have been long on Intel, EMC, Cisco and Sun since 1993 and have been in and out of Applied Materials (Nasdaq:AMAT - news), Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news; the justice department ran me out of the stock five months ago after a six-year hold), and a few others. This year I expanded my holdings to JDS Uniphase (Nasdaq:JDSU - news) and Universal Display (Nasdaq:PANL - news; an admitted flyer but you ought to take a look).

      ``I try to be insensitive to current sentiment and ephemeral market/economic events that drive the traders. I believe that trading is for the pros -- I`m just an amateur. Besides, I`ve had an average annual return of over 55% since 1994 so I`m sticking with what (I think) I know.``

      Observes reader Leonard Kreicas, who has benefited from long-term investing: ``Getting rich like that would throw a lot of people out of work: brokers, market makers, Elaine Gazarelli et al., systems hawkers, Maalox, therapists.``

      We`re aware, as are our two esteemed contributors, that this technique is by no means the the be-all-and-end-all. There is some degree of retrospection in picking a group of six leaders today that doesn`t include such leaders of yesterday as Microsoft -- or the ever-changing leaders of tomorrow. Still, any reader who takes home a copy of Wired or Red Herring can find an index of future leaders that have enjoyed comparable performance.

      We invite our readers to share their thoughts as to extensions, generalizations, complications and corrections.

      Laurel Kenner is a financial writer in New York City. During her 16-year career, she has reported on police, politics and aerospace, and most recently headed U.S. stock market coverage at Bloomberg News.

      Victor Niederhoffer is a private speculator specializing in futures and options trading. He formerly managed money and hedge funds, and had one of the best records until turmoil in Asian markets in 1997 caused financial disaster. He is the author of best-selling The Education of a Speculator. His hobbies include music, electricity, sports and ecology, all of which form a foundation for his scientific speculation.

      Hi,
      meines Wissens gibts keine weiteren news ausser den unten geposteten, vielleicht hat sich in US einfach langsam rumgesprochen, welches Potential in UDC steckt.

      An Henric:
      Zu Deinen Fragen: 1.Wer den Jahresbericht ausser mir bekommen hat oder auch nicht, weiss ich nicht. Wenn Du ihn haben willst, schreibe UDC doch einfach eine mail, z.B. über deren Website.
      2. Was mich zu dem "enormen Aufwand" im OPC-Thread getrieben hat? Opticom war und ist einfach mein Liebling, es ist die einzige Aktie, die ich seit meinem Börseneinstieg 1997 durchgehend gehalten habe. Mein unbescheidener Wunsch(traum) ist, mit meiner relativ geringen OPC-Investition eines Tages steinreich zu werden. Ich kenne nicht viele Aktien, denen ich in dieser Hinsicht eine realistische Chance einräume. Dazu kommt, dass ich computertechnisch halbwegs beschlagen bin und mir daher durchaus eine eigene Meinung zu OPC gebildet habe (was ich leider von vielen anderen Technologieaktien nicht behaupten kann). Aber leider ist es mit meinem enormen Aufwand, der auch durch sehr viel freie Zeit möglich wurde, jetzt erstmal vorbei, denn leider ;) bin ich auf der Karrierreleiter etwas höher gekrochen, was dummerweise mit mehr Arbeit und weniger Freizeit verbunden ist. (Ein Grund mehr auf OPC und UDC zu hoffen...)

      Hallo,
      nur ein kleiner Hinweis auf die aktuelle c`t Nr.15: Auf Seite 32 sind zwei Artikel über Polymerdisplays.
      Der erste beschreibt die englische Firma CDT (http://www.cdtltd.co.uk), die ein interessantes Herstellungsverfahren anwenden: Die farbigen "Plastikpixel" werden mit einer Art Tintendrucktechnik auf Siliziumsubstrat gedruckt. Darüber wurde schon mal vor ca. einem Jahr in einer Prisma-Sendung berichtet. Man arbeitet mit Seiko Epson zusammen, es gibt auch Aktien, muss ich mich aber erstmal schlau machen.
      Der zweite Artikel beginnt mit Universal Display und schildert ihre kürzlich präsentierten "Spezialitäten" FOLED (biegsame Folie) und TOLED (transparente Folie). Dann wird noch kurz Sanyo und Kodak erwähnt und dann der Schlussatz:
      "Angesichts der zahlreichen Aktivitäten könnte die OLED-Entwicklung schneller voranschreiten als ursprünglich angenommen. Optimisten glauben, dass bereits in 2 Jahren die Massenproduktion für kleinflächige Polymerdisplays anlaufen wird."

      Hört sich doch gut an, passend zur erfreulichen Kursentwicklung ...

      Hi guest,
      das sehe ich etwas anders: in der Meldung wird ja auch erklärt, warum der Verlust grösser ausgefallen ist, nämlich durch den neuen Cleanroom, mehr Mitarbeiter usw.
      Netloss per share 0,14 im Quartal und 0,27 im Halbjahr - im Vergleich der netloss der letzten Jahre: 0,42 /1999, 0,27 /1998, 0,64 /1997, 0,21 /1996 und 0,45 /1995.

      2 Kommentare aus dem ragingbull-board:

      "Nice to see...
      ...our cash burn rate is still quite low. I certainly don`t expect a secondary or private placement."


      "The company`s cash burn rate is quite low. If Universal Display was an IPO the stock price would be considerably higher. How many IPOs have cash burn rates this low? I suspect very few.
      On a different note, I did a little research at http://www.freeedgar.com and found several fund managers reported holding Universal Display in their portfolio. All of the reports were dated in August 2000. I can`t remember them all but here`s a partial list.
      Legg Mason, State Street, Northern Trust, CIBC World, Barclay`s, Wilshire Assoc., U.S. Trust Co. of New York, AXA Financial, and some others I can`t recall."

      Den Kurs scheint es im Moment eher zu stärken.

      Moin,
      nach den Zahlen 11% plus auf 21,5$ und die Börse ist ja bekanntlich unbestechlich ;)
      Wenn man sich den 1-Jahres-Chart ansieht, erkennt man eine sehr starke Unterstützung um 15 bis 18$. Daher wären Kurse unter 20 für mich Einstandskurse. Dann ein Stoploss von ca. 12 bis 14 und etwas Geduld ...

      Universal Display Corporation`s Paper at Korea SID Conference Describes Performance of High Efficiency of Active Matrix OLEDs for Hand-Held Communications Products

      EWING, N.J., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (Nasdaq: PANL; Philadelphia: PNL), announced today that Michael Hack, Ph.D., Vice President of Strategic Product Development for Universal Display Corporation, will present an invited paper entitled ``Performance of High Efficiency AMOLED Displays`` before the Society for Information Display (SID) Conference in Seoul, Korea, on September 7th. This paper compares the performance of a number of active-matrix driven, small molecule OLED displays, each incorporating high efficiency electrophosphorescent dopants.

      Dr. Hack`s research includes comparative power consumption tests and indicates that new active matrix organic light emitting diodes (AMOLEDs) meet one of the criteria, that is high efficiency, that will encourage the wide scale use of this unique element in flat panel displays. Also, AMOLED meets the other criteria for successful commercialization, that is, reliability and low cost of manufacture. A full copy of the paper is available from shamernik@minkus-dunne.com.

      In addition to his presentation, Dr. Hack will lead a workshop, sponsored by the United States Display Consortium, on developing technology roadmaps for the commercialization of OLED technology.

      UDC has been developing OLED technology with Princeton University and The University of Southern California (USC) since 1994. These partnerships continue to be committed to the innovative research and commercialization of this proprietary technology. UDC has the exclusive license to 30 US patents relating to OLED technology, and has more than 50 US patents pending. Patents have also been issued in 8 foreign countries and there are numerous patents pending worldwide.

      nur damit kein Missverständnis aufkommt: UDC war schon vorher an der Nasdaq, es geht hier um den Segmentwechsel vom small-cap-market zum sog. national market. Schön, wo wir doch alle hoffen, dass aus unserem small cap ein blue chip wird ...

      Der Plastiklaser kommt:

      Thursday September 21, 12:30 pm Eastern Time
      Press Release
      SOURCE: Universal Display Corporation
      Organic Thin-Film Semiconductor Laser Patent Announced by Universal Display Corporation
      EWING, N.J., Sept 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (Nasdaq: PANL - news; PHLX: PNL - news), a developer of an innovative flat panel display technology based on organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), announced today that its Research Partners, Princeton University and The University of Southern California (USC), have received a patent for an Organic Semiconductor Laser, U.S. patent number 6,111,902. UDC has the exclusive worldwide license for this and associated patents.

      The solid-state light-emitting device incorporates a thin-film of organic material and operates similarly to inorganic semiconductor lasers. In addition to anticipated lower power consumption and lower manufacturing costs, it is believed that the organic laser will be more versatile than today`s solid state lasers because organic substances can be relatively easily manipulated to emit light from the ultraviolet to infrared.

      It is believed that a commercial organic semiconductor laser can have great potential for the electronics industry and the multi-billion dollar semiconductor laser market. Many consumer and technology products, including CD/DVD disk reading, fiber optics communications, microcircuit manufacturing, games and entertainment systems would benefit from lower power requirements and lower costs of Thin-Film Organic Semiconductor Lasers. The next step towards commercialization is developing an electrically pumped Organic Semiconductor Laser.

      Hallo, hier ist wieder der Alleinunterhalter :
      Ich möchte Euch auf die aktuelle ct (Heft 20) aufmerksam machen, dort steht ab Seite 110 ein vierseitiger Artikel namens "Displays aus Plastik / Molekulares Leuchten". Also, wer`s immer noch nicht glaubt, sollte das mal lesen. UDC wird natürlich auch erwähnt mit Foto von ihrem flexiblen OLED, ausserdem geht es im Absatz "Stimulanz" um organische Laser (siehe voriges Posting). UDC & Opticom (= Plastikdisplays & Plastikchips) werden für meine Frührente sorgen ;)

      nicht erwähnt ...
      Kaufst Du eigentlich gleich an der NASDAQ?
      Als ich damals mit meinen 100Stück (Hallo Frührente :-))

      nicht ganz so geheuer ... Aber bei OPC wars ja im Prinzip
      am Anfang auch so.

      Hallo Plastikfans!
      @D10245: Macht ja nix. Pixtech habe ich auch mal gehabt, z.Zt. nur unter Beobachtung. Im Vergleich zu den Plastikdisplays ist Pixt ja schon fast prähistorisch, die Chance sehe ich eher darin, dass sie früher mit marktreifen Produkten auf den Markt kommen und damit durchaus eine Weile (bis zur Ablösung durch Plastik) Geld verdienen können.
      Zum ct-Artikel: Ich habe mal recherchiert, welche der dort vorgestellten Firmen börsennotiert sind. Uninteressant sind die grossen, also Pioneer, Kodak etc., denn deren Kursentwicklung wird natürlich durch zahlreiche andere Faktoren beeinflusst. Von den kleinen Firmen bleibt neben UDC nur emagin, die unter dem Kürzel EMA an der US-AMEX gelistet sind. Und die liegen nach einem kurzen Höhenflug im Moment mit 8$ knapp über ihrem Emissionspreis vom Anfang dieses Jahres. Vielleicht werde ich damit noch ein zweites Pferdchen ins Rennen schicken, mal sehen - erstmal beobachten und Infos einholen. homepage: http://www.emagincorp.com
      Dann gibts noch Firma Convion (oder so ähnlich, habe die Zeitung gerade nicht greifbar), aber das ist ein Jointventure von Aventis und einer anderen Firma, jedenfalls nicht börsennotiert.

      Und sonst: Leider hat WO durch irgendeinen Defekt den Anfang dieses Threads gelöscht, in dem ich eine Übersicht der aktuellen Displaytechniken zusammengestellt hatte. Werde ich bei nächster Gelegenheit nochmal nachliefern, habs irgenswo gespeichert...

      Hallo UDC Fans,

      wie immer ist Mo2 der schnellste mit aktuellen Beiträgen. Zum eben angesprochenen Thema möchte ich erneut auf die kanadische Luxell hinweisen (WKN 902879). Es wird auch dort an ähnlicher Technologie gearbeitet, und obendrauf kooperiert diese Firma mit UDC (siehe Mitteilungen von Jan/Feb).
      Luxell wird außerdem demnächst (nach jüngster Nasdaq-Korrektur) aus charttechnischer Sicht interresant. Diese Ausführung gehört zwar nicht hierher, aber da ich mich in den vergangenen Wochen etwas mehr um die Charttechnik gekümmert habe, beobachte ich einen wunderschönen kugelrunden Boden mit passenden Handelsvolumina. Nachdem das Gap (Fenster) bei ca. 5,60 geschlossen ist, sollte es den nächsten Sprung geben. Das alles ist gut zu sehen bei stockmaster.com mit dem Kürzel C:LUX und am besten in logarithmischer Darstellung.
      Es ist wirklich kein Push-Versuch, aber dieses schöne Beispiel konnte ich mir nicht verkneifen.
      Ansonsten auch wenn Mo2 fast alleine das Board pflegt, ist es immer interessant vorbeizuschauen.

      In Erwartung auf etwas bessere Zeiten

      Hallo,
      die Meldung betrifft zwar nicht "unsere" Firma sondern emagin (siehe meinen letzten Beitag), und die sind darauf gleich 16% gestiegen (leider noch ohne mich). Die Spezialität von emagin sind kleine extrem hochauflösende Displays. Technisch gesehen ein Zwitter: das Polymerdisplay wird durch eine darunter liegende Siliziumschicht gesteuert (active matrix OLED). Ergebnis: 1,3 Mio Pixel im Briefmarkenformat.

      eMagin Corp. Unveils World`s First Full-Color OLED-on-Silicon Active Matrix Microdisplay
      New Display Represents Major Milestone Toward Commercial Applications
      PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 2000--eMagin Corp. (AMEX:EMA - news), the leader in OLED-on-Silicon virtual imaging display technology, unveiled the world`s first full-color active matrix OLED-on-Silicon microdisplay at this year`s International Display Research Conference (IDRC) in Palm Beach. OLED-on-Silicon microdisplays represent an optimal imaging technology for entertainment, wireless, wearable computing appliances.

      Using a quad-pixel arrangement (four sub-pixels per color group), the full-color active matrix OLED-on-Silicon microdisplay features more than 1.3 million tiny, 12-micron-sized colored sub-pixels in an area smaller than a postage stamp. The display uses color filters built directly on top of the OLED display and incorporates eMagin`s unique, high-speed and long-life, white-light organic LED technology.

      ``Our vivid, full-color microdisplays represent a critical milestone for consumer applications of active matrix OLED,`` said Susan Jones, executive vice president of eMagin. ``Combined with our near-eye optical systems, OLED-on-Silicon microdisplays create large-screen virtual images that are ideal for personal communications and entertainment devices.``

      The full-color microdisplay demonstrates real-time, full-color performance. According to Webster Howard, eMagin`s vice president for technology, ``This display is a technology demonstrator that confirms the validity of our technical approach to building full-color OLED microdisplays.``

      The full-color microdisplay is built on eMagin`s military/medical/ industrial-oriented monochrome SXGA (1280 x 1024) pixel IC array, which was demonstrated last May at the Society for Information Display (SID) conference.

      This OLED microdisplay technology will be applied to the SVGA+, the company`s first OLED-on-Silicon microdisplay designed for consumer and other broad-based applications. The SVGA+ microdisplay is expected to be available for initial sampling to systems manufacturers by early 2001.

      About eMagin Corp. and OLED Technology

      A leading developer of virtual imaging technology, eMagin combines integrated circuits, microdisplays and optics to create a virtual image equivalent to the real image of a computer monitor or large-screen TV. These miniature, high-performance, virtual imaging modules provide access to information-rich text, data and video, which can facilitate the opening of new mass markets for wearable PCs, wireless Internet appliances and mobile phones, portable DVD-viewers, digital cameras and other emerging applications.

      eMagin`s microdisplays are based on fundamental OLED (organic light emitting diode) technology originally developed by and licensed from Eastman Kodak, leveraged with eMagin`s own intellectual property portfolio of more than 100 patents issued or pending. OLEDs are emissive devices (i.e., they create light), as opposed to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) that require a separate light source.

      OLED devices use less power and are capable of high brightness and color. Because the light they emit is ``Lambertian`` (i.e., appears equally bright from all directions), they are ideal for near-to-the- eye applications since a small movement in the eye does not change the image.

      eMagin`s corporate headquarters and microdisplay operations are co-located with IBM on its campus in East Fishkill, N.Y. Wearable and mobile computer headset/viewer system design and full-custom microdisplay system facilities are located at its wholly owned subsidiary, Virtual Vision Inc., in Redmond, Wash. The company has sales and marketing offices in Santa Clara, Calif., and in Japan.

      @ Liese und Mo2

      Bin wirklich beeindruckt was ihr über OLEDs wißt!

      Behaupte, dass ich mich da ziemlich gut mit der technischen Seite auskenne!

      -Pioneer hat OLED Displays (gedampfte) auf dem Markt!
      Car-Hifi-Displays
      Angeblich soll auch noch Motorola Handy mit Pioneer Display dieses HJahr kommen.

      Vorteil von von gedampften OLEDs - besser Strukturierbar

      Insgesamtes Problem : Lebensdauer und ein gutes rot

      Covion ist übrigens in erster Linie ein Materialhersteller von elektrolum. Polymeren
      und übrigens ein verdammt guter.- bauen keine Displays

      Mich wundert das Philips noch nix auf dem Markt hat.
      Hatten schon vor ewigen Zeiten Produktstraße angekündigt!

      Momentan gibt es auch sehr große aktivitäten bei plastikchips!
      Laser sind momentan noch uninteressant!

      Emagin arbeitet eng mit IBM !!!!!!!!!

      Hallo!
      Schön, dass mal wieder etwas Leben in den thread kommt.
      @HansH: In einem Punkt muss ich bzw. die ct Dir widersprechen: Covion stellt offenbar doch Displays her, kannst Du mit Text und Produktfoto in der aktuellen ct sehen. Der Artikel geht übrigens auch ziemlich ausführlich (und relativ optimistisch) auf die von Dir angesprochene Haltbarkeitsproblematik ein.
      Wenn Du Dich "plastiktechnisch" auskennst, möchte ich Dich natürlich zu einem Besuch im Opticom-Monster-Thread (5. Auflage, über 600 Beiträge) im WO-Europaboard einladen, wir haben dort immer Bedarf an Leuten, die niveaumässig mit unserem Chemiker Liese mithalten können ;)

      Zu emagin: bin etwas genervt, dass ich nicht gleich bei 8$ eingstiegen bin, die sind gleich nach meinem "Tip" auf 11 davon gezogen. Jetzt hoffe ich, dass sie nochmal auf 9-10 zurück kommen, dann aber nix wie rein.

      Eine "kleine" Firma habe ich übrigens vergessen: der HP-Spinoff Agilent (NYSE-Kürzel: A) stellt u.a. ähnlich wie emagin aktive OLED-Displays her und der Chart sieht auch nicht schlecht aus. Range seit der Emission Ende letzten Jahres: 38-162, jetzt bei 50$.


      Ausserdem möchte ich nochmal den Beitrag nachliefern, mit dem ich (nicht liese, ätsch) seinerzeit diesen Thread eröffnet habe und der irgendwie von WO verschlampt wurde:

      Was gibt es z.Zt. an Displaytechniken? (bitte verbessern oder vervollständigen, ich bin kein "Fernsehtechniker"...)
      1. CRT (cathode ray tube) - der alte Kathodenstrahler: schwer, strahlend, flimmernd, stromfressend - kurz: prähistorisch
      2. LCD (liquid crystal display): flach, leicht, stromsparend, flimmerfrei - aber: extrem teuer in der Herstellung (zumindest die hochwertige TFT-Variante) und mit Kontrastproblemen bei flachem Betrachtungswinkel, weil passives Prinzip: die Pixel leuchten nicht selber wie bei CRT oder Plasma, sondern sie reflektieren einfallendes Licht bzw. lassen Licht der Hintergrundbeleuchtung durchscheinen.
      3. Plasma-Displays: auch flach und flimmerfrei, aber Stromverbrauch im Vergleich zu LCD hoch, ebenfalls teuer, das Display wird heiss und ist nicht besonders hoch auflösend. Ausserdem ist das Ausfiltern des orangefarbenen Grundtons nicht ganz einfach.
      Aktives Prinzip: Phosphor wird durch ein elektrisch angeregtes Gas-Plasma-Gemisch zum Leuchten gebracht.
      4. DMD (digital mirror device): mikroskopisch kleine bewegliche Spiegel reflektieren einfallendes Licht, dieses aussichtsreiche Verfahren wird aber bisher nur für Projektionsgeräte eingesetzt.
      5. FED (field emission display): wie bei CRT wird Phosphor durch Elektronenbeschuss zum Leuchten gebracht, nur stammen die Elektronen aus Feldern direkt hinter der Phosphorschicht und nicht aus einer weit entfernten Glühkathode. Aktives Prinzip, sehr flach (bis ca. 2 mm), energiesparend (brauchen erheblich weniger als LCD), ohne Aufheizung - nicht schlecht, aber:

      Wenn die Zukunft der Speicher- und Chiptechnologie in leitenden Kunststoffen, also organischen Materialien liegt (Stichwort "Plastikchips"), warum sollte das bei Bildschirmen anders sein? Die Nanotechnik hat schon längst leitende Kohlenstoffverbindungen ("Nanoröhrchen") erzeugt, und es gibt Prototypen neuartiger Speicherchips wie die von der kleinen norwegischen Firma Opticom www.opticomasa.com, bei denen übrigens kürzlich Intel(!) eingestiegen ist - Die Realisierung des Traums von robusten, billig zu produzierenden organischen Speichern mit immenser Kapazität ist in greifbare Nähe gerückt.

      Dazu passend werden wir "Plastikdisplays" benutzen, vielleicht aufrollbare dünne Folien, die ein brilliantes und kontrastreiches Bild für den Bruchteil des Preises heutiger Systeme liefern. Das Schlagwort ist OLED: organic light emitting display.
      Für mich verkörpert die Firma Universal Display im Bereich der Bildschirme etwas ähnliches wie Opticom im Bereich der Speichertechnik (später evtl. auch Prozessoren): Beide Firmen haben den Schwerpunkt auf Forschung und Entwicklung gelegt, sie haben ihre jahrelange wissenschaftliche Arbeit durch zahlreiche Patente absichern lassen und suchen sich, wenn die Zeit reif ist, grosse Partner für den Einstieg in Produktion und Vermarktung. Wie sich ein erfolgreiches Vorgehen auf die Aktienkurse so kleiner Firmen auswirken kann, lässt sich überhaupt nicht nicht durch irgendwelche Kursziele beschreiben, hier reichen im Idealfall 1000 Mark Einsatz für eine dicke Frührente.
      Leider bin ich nicht so ganz frühzeitig auf Universal Display gestossen, aber wie ich meine, immer noch rechtzeitig. Der Kurs ist in den letzten Wochen schon kräftig angesprungen: von 4 auf 12 Dollar, jetzt hängen sie bei 10, was auch mein Einstiegskurs ist.
      Im Gegensatz zu vielen windigen OTC-Werten sind sie immerhin schon an der Nasdaq gelistet, das Kürzel ist PANL. Über das Kürzel kann man auch bei http://quote.yahoo.com Kurs, Chart und die Meldungen der letzten Zeit ansehen. Bei uns findet der Handel offenbar nur theoretisch (weil nie Umsatz) in Berlin statt: WKN 917585.

      Hier ist ein ganz interessanter englischer Artikel über Zukunft der Displays:

      So, noch ein paar Anmerkungen:

      Einer der großen Vorteile der OLED/PLED geüber den LCD ist der uneingeschränkte
      Betrachungswinkel. Die Dinger leuchten selber, LCDs brauchen hintergrundbeleuchtung.

      PDP:Plasma Discarge Panel beruht auf einer Gasentladung: Jeder Pixel ist praktisch mit einer Leuchtstoffröhre zu vergleichen.
      Eine Xe- Plasma regt Leuchtstoffe (wie Beschichung der Leuchtstoffröhre) an. Hier halt nicht drei gleichzeit (weis) wie in der Leuchtstoff
      röhre sondern immer einzeln - Photolumineszenz heißt diese Anregungsart!

      FED: Sind der CRT sehr ähnlich. nur hat hier jeder Pixrel praktisch eine Kathode, die Dicht hinter dem Leuchtpunkt sitzt.
      Das Herstellen eines solchen Kathoden-Array ist verdammt schwierig, aber wenig Schichten nötig im Vergleich zum LCD.
      Leuchtstoffe für die kleinen Spannungen sind noch nicht so weit entwickelt.

      Ein schöner Artikel ist in Physikalischen Blättern 1999 Heft 5!

      Was steht in der CT?
      Ich war mir ziemlich sicher mit meiner Aussage Covion =Materiallieferant.
      Habe aber auch schon Demonstratoren, also Displays von Covion gesehen.
      Die waren aber nur zur Vermarktung ihrer Materialien.

      Das Motorola_handy gilt als Meilenstein für die Displays.
      Man glaubt, dass es einen Run auf OLEDs gibt, wenn das Ding läuft.
      Lustig ist das Handy ist mit einem Zuklapbaren Display-
      Also Display aus - Standbyzeit gering - Lebensdauer o.k.


      Noch eine Anmerkung:
      Ein großer Verdiener bei den gedampften OLEDs ist KODAK.
      Besitzen fast alle Patente!

      bei den Polymeren ist es glaube ich CDT oder Uniax- bin aber nicht sicher!

      Über Opticom und Universal Displays weis ich nur wenig

      Noch eine kleine Info OLED meint organic LED.
      Da werden oft auch Polymer eingeschlossen - also auch PLEDs!

      Ein Patent UDC fand ich noch Interessant:
      "Fabrication of Organic Semiconductor devices using Ink Jet Printing""
      Eine witzige Technologie: Polymer statt Tinte in den Drucker und raus
      kommt das Display - (ohne Kathode)....

      Zum "Polymertintendrucker": Schön dass UDC da ein Patent hat, aber ich meine vor einiger Zeit einen Filmbericht gesehen zu haben (Prisma oder sowas), in dem diese Geschichte von einer anderen Firma gezeigt wurde. Vielleicht war es CDT (Cambridge Display Technology), die auch im ct-Artikel genannt werden. Die haben zusammen mit Seiko-Epson schon Plastik gedruckt. Naja, vielleicht zahlen sie ja dafür Lizenzgebühr an UDC :).

      Motorola Grants OLED Technology Rights to Universal Display and Takes
      Equity Position

      EWING, N.J. and SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Oct 5, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
      Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) has awarded Universal Display Corporation (UDC)
      (Nasdaq: PANL; PHLX: PNL), a leading developer of flat panel display
      technologies, licensing rights for Motorola technologies related to Organic
      Light Emitting Devices (OLEDs), both companies announced today. OLEDs are
      considered a critical platform for future flat panel displays for cell phones,
      computers, wireless terminals and other communication devices.

      Under the terms of the agreement, Motorola will receive a minority equity stake
      in UDC and provide licensing rights on more than 75 patents and patent
      applications applicable to the development of flat panel displays using OLED
      technology. These patents cover technologies relevant to most aspects of OLED
      manufacturing, including single layer devices, packaging, plastic substrates,
      materials development and encapsulation methods. UDC will have the sole right to
      sublicense these Motorola patents to manufacturers

      As a result of this license agreement, UDC and its licensed manufacturers will
      be able to more quickly develop commercially-appropriate technologies and
      products that offer true differentiation in the marketplace. "This represents a
      significant step for our company. It will add key, comprehensive technologies to
      our existing portfolio of innovative OLED technologies and enable us to offer
      consumer electronics companies a broader array of the exciting, commercially
      viable benefits of OLED technology," said Steven V. Abramson, President of UDC.

      "Consumers are increasingly looking for more vivid displays for their electronic
      devices such as cell phones, particularly as they become internet-enabled.
      OLED-based technology may create new product opportunities for Motorola," said
      Keith Bergelt, Director, Strategic Intellectual Asset Management for Motorola.

      About Motorola

      Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) is a global leader in providing integrated
      communications solutions and embedded electronic solutions. Sales were $33.1
      billion. More company information is available at www.motorola.com . Motorola`s
      Strategic Intellectual Asset Management team actively licenses Motorola
      Intellectual Property to external businesses. For additional information on
      patents available for licensing, contact Keith Bergelt at:
      keith.bergelt@motorola.com.

      About Universal Display Corporation

      UDC currently has 31 patents and more than 50 more pending relating to OLED
      technology, many of which have created the ability to make existing displays
      more flexible, lighter-weight, brighter and more adaptable to various climates
      and conditions than flat panel technology. OLED-based displays are believed to
      cost less and take less time to manufacture and, as such, are seen by many as
      the natural replacement for Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) and Liquid Crystal Displays
      (LCDs), both of which are also limited by their lack of portability and clarity.

      UDC has been developing OLED technology with Princeton University and The
      University of Southern California (USC) since 1994. It is located in the
      Princeton Crossroads Corporate Center, minutes away from the Company`s research
      partners at Princeton University, in an 11,000 sq. ft facility which includes a
      pilot production line as well as technology development and technology transfer
      facilities.

      Hallo,
      ich bin auch nicht der grosse Chartist, aber nach meiner Einschätzung liegen die nächsten Unterstützungen bei ca. 15 (die hat gestern gehalten) und bei ca. 10-12, die müsste aber stark sein, denn dort sind sie ziemlich lange rumgedümpelt (das wäre dann mein Einstiegskurs, schnief...) Relativ zu vielen anderen Hightechs haben wir uns aber doch noch ganz gut gehalten und ausserdem: Es kann jederzeit blitzschnell wieder kräftig hoch gehen. Ich bleibe jedenfalls long uns sitze das aus.

      Hallo Hans,
      auf jeden Fall an der Nasdaq kaufen, in D findet der Handel nur theoretisch statt. Mann kann z.B. beim comdirect-informer sehen, dass hier fast nie Umsätze stattfinden. Wenn Du keinen Ami-Broker hast (ich benutze sehr zufrieden webstreet), sind die Spesen etwas teurer als hier, aber dafür bekommst Du einen fairen Kurs. Bei Consors reicht es, wenn Du als Börsenplatz NY angibst und das Limit in Dollar setzt.

      hier habe ich eine etwas ältere aber nicht uninterressante Meldung von UDC und Aixtron in Bezug auf die Herstellung der Displays gefunden.

      Aixtron ist eines der Schwergewichte am Neuen Markt und soll führend auf diesem Gebiet sein.Siehe diese Meldung aus dem WoAixtron thread

      Technologie ermöglicht historische Entwicklung: LEDs strahlen jetzt heller als Neonröhren!! LumiLEDs, das auf Beleuchtungs- und Signaltechnik fokusierte Joint Venture zwischen Agilent und Philips, gab soeben bekannt, dass sie einen atemberaubenden Meilenstein in der Beleuchtungsindustrie erreicht haben: Die Helligkeit einiger ihrer neuen LED-Produkte, vornehmlich 610 nm Leuchtdioden (rot/orange), hat einen Wert von 100 Lumen pro Watt erreicht. Diese Effizienz ist nun höher als die von Neonröhren. LumiLEDs gab ebenfalls bekannt, dass ihre mit derselben MOCVD-Technologie hergestellten grünen und blauen, auf InGaN basierenden LEDs bereits 50 Lumen pro Watt erreichen. Diese Ankündigungen erfolgten im Rahmen der weltweit hochangesehenen IEEE Konferenz “Advanced Concepts in Devices” (6. bis 9. August 2000, Cornell, New York). Die Qualität der eingesetzten Verbindungs-Halbleiter ist letztendlich entscheidend für die Helligkeit und Effizienz von LEDs. Zu deren Synthese liefert die AIXTRON AG, Aachen, die erforderlichen Produktionsanlagen. Mit einem Weltmarktanteil von 54% in 1999 (1998: 51%) ist AIXTRON bei MOCVD-Anlagen zur Herstellung von Verbindungs-Halbleiter weltweit führend. Der von LumiLEDs vermeldete Erfolg kommt wesentlich früher, als bislang in der Industrie erwartet. Die Vorteile von LEDs liegen in der langen Lebensdauer von über 10 Jahre und ihrem geringen Energieverbrauch, der lediglich bei einem Zehntel dessen von Glühbirnen liegt. Darüberhinaus ermöglichen LEDs aufgrund ihrer geringen Größe und flexiblen Einsetzbarkeit völlig neue Möglichkeiten innen- und außenarchitektonischen Lichtdesigns.

      Universal Display Corporation Signs Development and License Agreement With AIXTRON AG of Germany
      Parties to jointly commercialize a revolutionary new technology for High Throughput OLED Production Equipment

      July 25, 2000

      EWING, NJ -- Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (NASDAQ:PANL; and PHLX: PANL), a leading developer of flat panel display technology, has entered into a development and license agreement with AIXTRON AG of Aachen, Germany, the leading manufacturer of precision semiconductor production equipment for LEDs, to develop and fabricate OLED (organic light emitting device) production equipment based on an innovative low cost, precise, high throughput process. OLEDs are seen by many industry observers as the technology of the future for the flat panel displays required by the information age, including portable electronic communications devices based on new wireless and cellular telephony.

      Using a transformational technology called Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD) invented by scientists at Princeton University, the production process utilizes a carrier gas stream in a hot walled reactor at very low pressure to precisely deposit the thin layers of organic materials used in OLED displays. Conventional OLED fabrication equipment evaporates the organic molecules at high temperature and pressure. OVPD offers the ability to precisely control the multi-source deposition required for full-color OLED displays. The OVPD design is also adaptable to the rapid, uniform deposition of organics on large-area substrates.

      UDC and AIXTRON will develop the production equipment together which will be sold exclusively by AIXTRON under royalty bearing-licenses from UDC. Plans to install a demonstration pre-production system next year at the UDC facility are underway.

      "The partnership with AIXTRON is designed to provide the next generation of OLED fabrication equipment and processes that can dramatically reduce the cost of producing OLED displays," said Steven V. Abramson, President of UDC. "This is an important step in our mission to commercialize innovative OLED technologies that can dramatically expand the penetration of OLED products in the flat panel display marketplace."

      "OVPD provides a fundamentally new solution to the problems encountered in the low cost, high precision mass production of molecular organic displays," said Dr. Stephen Forrest, Chairman of the Electrical Engineering Department at Princeton University and a principal inventor of the OVPD technology. "It is very exciting working with AIXTRON, a world leader in the production of semiconductor growth equipment, and our partners at UDC, to see the emergence from the laboratory demonstrations of our work into the high volume marketplace of OLED display production."

      "As the world leading supplier of semiconductor production equipment to the LED industry (for large screen outdoor video displays, signaling and illumination), AIXTRON is excited to further extend its equipment diversification by adding OVPD machines for OLEDs, using synergies in the market and applications," comments Dr. Holger Juergensen, President and CEO of AIXTRON. "Through OVPD, the OLEDs receive superior properties, which convinced us to invest into this joint development with UDC and the team of Dr. Stephen Forrest of Princeton University."

      About UDC

      UDC has been developing OLED technology with Princeton University and The University of Southern California (USC) since 1994. This partnership continues to be committed to the innovative research and commercialization of this proprietary OLED technology.

      The Company believes that OLEDs will open up significant new markets for flat panel displays based on their novel features that include transparency and flexibility.

      Hi,
      jaja, Aixtron: die beobachte ich schon lange in der Hoffnung, der Kurs würde mal richtig einbrechen (damit ich dann zuschlagen kann). Letzte Woche, als Aixtron sogar den NM-Crash relativ gut überstanden hat, bin ich dann trotz meiner Bedenken wegen des immer noch hohen Kursniveaus eingestiegen, hoffentlich wars kein Fehler. Aber sie passen einfach zu gut in mein Display-Portfolio, das jetzt übrigens auch emagin enthält (habe zuerst für 10 und dann nochmal für 8,25 gekauft).

      New Universal Display Flexible OLED Technology Key to High Performance, Color Panels in Handheld Devices
      LONDON, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The important characteristics of Flexible OLEDs are detailed in a paper, ``Flexible Organic Displays,`` given by Dr. Michael S. Weaver, Senior Scientist for Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (Nasdaq: PANL - news) presented at the Electronic Information Displays 2000 Conference, a Society for Information Display sponsored conference in London. The forum was held November 21 - 23.

      Dr. Weaver`s paper details the new developments in high efficiency OLED displays and applying this technology to flexible substrates, having the potential of realizing an entire new generation of flat panel displays. His presentation focuses on the development of OLED (Organic Light Emitting Devices) technology to mass-produce high-resolution, full-color display panels that use less power. In addition, the ability to place OLEDs on a flexible substrate provides the rugged, durable performance that is required in hand- held electronic devices, i.e., wireless, pagers and mini-computers.

      In addition, the formability characteristic of flexible OLEDs lends itself to high-volume, roll-to-roll process manufacturing, promising relatively inexpensive fabrication. The placement of OLEDs on a flexible substrate offers numerous advantages over conventional rigid-glass substrates. ``OLEDs are beginning to enter the market place as a competitive display technology. These displays should rapidly move from small passive matrices to full-color active matrices, built on conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass, and then to plastic substrates,`` said Weaver

      OLEDs have a variety of potential applications, including cell phones, PDA`s, computer displays, informational displays in vehicles and television monitors. Due to their bright and beautiful colors, wide viewing angle, compatibility with full motion video, broad temperature ranges, thin and comformable form factor, low power requirements and the potential for low cost manufacturing processes, OLEDs are seen as a future replacement technology for cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which currently dominate the growing $40 billion annual electronic display market.

      UDC has been developing Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) technology with Princeton University and the University of Southern California (USC) since 1994. This partnership continues to be committed to the innovative research and commercialization of this proprietary technology.

      On October 5, UDC acquired the rights to the OLED patent portfolio of Motorola, Inc., resulting in UDC having the exclusive license to 103 US patents relating to OLED technology, and has more than 50 US patents pending. Patents have also been issued in eight foreign countries and numerous patents are pending worldwide.

      On November 1, UDC announced it formed a strategic alliance with PPG Industries for the development and production of its proprietary chemicals employed by OLED manufacturers. Motorola and PPG both became shareholders in UDC through those transactions.

      hier ein interessanter Artikel aus der Frankfurter Rundschau vom Samstag:


      Wenn nur noch Wasserdampf aus dem Auspuff kommt Ära der Wasserstofftechnologie beginnt / Vom Null-Liter-Auto bis zum virtuellen Kraftwerk / Die Brennstoffzelle wird die Energieversorgung revolutionieren

      Von Detlef M. Hug und Karl-Heinz Karisch

      Bei den Olympischen Spielen in Sydney fuhr den Marathonläufern ein Auto voraus, aus dessen Auspuff lediglich etwas Wasser tropfte. Noch sind Null-Emissions-Fahrzeuge wie der Hydro-Gen 1 von General Motors nur Labor-Modelle. Aber die Großen der Branche - angefangen von Daimler-Chrysler über Ford, Volkswagen bis Toyota - setzen auf das mit Wasserstoff betriebene Brennstoffzellen-Elektroauto. In jahrelanger Arbeit ist es den Entwicklungsteams gelungen, die Leistung hoch- und die Kosten herunterzuschrauben. Die Brennstoffzelle, die sich mit einer Batterie vergleichen lässt, die ihre Energie ständig von einem externen Speicher zugeführt bekommt, könnte die weltweite Energieversorgung revolutionieren und einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Eindämmung der Kohlendioxid-Emissionen leisten. Und zwar nicht nur im mobilen, sondern auch im stationären Einsatz. Das von Ökologen geraume Zeit in taube Ohren gepredigte Prinzip der Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung erlebt in den Forschungsabteilungen eine Renaissance ohnegleichen. Anlagenbauer denken bereits über den Abschied von der Großtechnologie nach und träumen vom virtuellen Kraftwerk - ein Netz von Millionen kleiner und mittlerer Heizanlagen in Häusern, Spitälern oder Einkaufszentren, die quasi nebenher Strom ins Netz einspeisen.

      Die Energiequelle der Zukunft ist Wasserstoff. Darüber herrscht unter Technikern und Wissenschaftlern Einigkeit. Doch eine flächendeckende Versorgung ist noch längst nicht gewährleistet und nur mit Milliarden-Investitionen zu realisieren. Eine Reihe von Autokonzernen setzt darauf, das Gas direkt im Auto aus Kohlenwasserstoffen abzuspalten. Dafür wurden so genannte Reformer entwickelt, die Methanol oder Benzin in den erwünschten Wasserstoff (er reagiert dann in der Brennstoffzelle mit Sauerstoff zu Wasser) und Kohlendioxid trennen. Dieser Prozess verschlingt jedoch zusätzliche Energie.

      Nach allen bisherigen Versuchen eignet sich der einfache Alkohol Methanol am Besten, weshalb zum Beispiel Daimler-Chrysler diese Lösung favorisiert. Einer der Haken dabei - Methanol muss wegen seiner chemischen Aggressivität in Edelstahltanks gelagert werden, wie Roland Matthé von Opel mit Blick auf die Umstellungskosten für das Tankstellennetz kritisch anmerkt. In den USA etwa ist dies sogar kaum darstellbar, da dort die Zapfsäulen nicht per Tankwagen, sondern häufig über Pipelines versorgt werden. Die deutsche Tochter von General Motors setzt deshalb auf die Entwicklung eines Benzin-Reformers, der für Anfang übernächsten Jahres angekündigt ist. "Null Emissionen bei null Verzicht" - die BMW-Ingenieure verfolgen eine andere Strategie und halten nichts von den "rollenden Verzichtserklärungen" der Konkurrenz. Bei Autos mit einer Brennstoffzelle, die einen Elektromotor antreibt, bleibt die Freude am Fahren auf der Strecke, meinen die Münchner. Der Einstieg in den Umstieg auf das abgasfreie Fahrzeug soll aber weitgehend unbemerkt vor sich gehen. "Wir setzen deshalb auf den Verbrennungs- und nicht auf den Elektromotor mit Brennstoffzelle, weil wir davon überzeugt sind, dass unsere Kunden auch in Zukunft Wert auf Reichweite, Dynamik und Komfort legen", sagt Entwicklungsvorstand Burkhard Göschel.

      Zum Beweis dafür schickte das Unternehmen seine "ultimative Antwort" auf die Frage, wie wir in Zukunft Auto fahren, im Mai auf Promotion-Tour zur Expo nach Hannover. Dort ließen sich die VIP im Fond luxuriöser Limousinen "emissionsfrei" zum Weltausstellungsgelände chauffieren - mit 140 Liter tiefgekühltem Flüssigwasserstoff im Rücken. Unspektakulär dürfte die Fahrt im BMW 750 hL für die meisten Gäste gewesen sein. Zu spüren ist vom Wasserstoff-Antrieb im Innern der Limousine nämlich nichts: Von vorn dringt das gewohnt dezente Säuseln eines Zwölfzylinders ans Ohr der Insassen, und auch in der Fahrweise gleicht der 750 hL einem gewöhnlichen BMW vom Band.

      Die bayerische Lösung für die Nach-Öl-Ära ist für den Hersteller nicht minder attraktiv: Keine teure Umstellung auf neue Fertigungsverfahren und Produktionsanlagen ist erforderlich. Und die Technik, an der BMW seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren forscht, steht kurz vor der Marktreife. In Hannover rollten die Sauber-Siebener mehr als 100 000 Kilometer ohne Probleme. Damit hätte BMW bereits ein fahrfertiges - aber noch viel zu teures - Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV), wie es die kalifornische Regierung fordert. Dort müssen sich von 2003 an mindestens zehn Prozent der verkauften Fahrzeuge schadstofffrei bewegen.

      "Wir sind von dieser Technologie restlos überzeugt", sagt Göschel. Doch steht BMW damit allein auf weiter Flur. Weil der Wasserstoff-Verbrennungsmotor - ein herkömmlicher Ottomotor, nur leicht modifiziert - keine signifikanten Wirkungsgrad-Vorteile gegenüber seinem Benzin verbrennenden Pendant hat, setzen die anderen Automobilhersteller auf Brennstoffzelle und Elektromotor.

      Allen voran fährt Daimler-Chrysler. Seit 1991 tüfteln die Schwaben gemeinsam mit ihrem kanadischen Partner Ballard Power Systems am Brennstoffzellen-Elektrofahrzeug Necar (New Electric Car). 1994 wurde der erste Wasserstoff betriebene Prototyp Necar I der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Die Niedrigtemperatur-Brennstoffzelle mit 50 Kilowatt Leistung füllte den Laderaum des Kleintransporters vollständig aus und wog 800 Kilogramm. Bei dem kürzlich präsentierten, Methanol betriebenen Necar 5 leistet das System 75 Kilowatt (100 PS), wiegt deutlich weniger und passt in den Sandwichboden der A-Klasse - ohne Abstriche für Sitzplätze und Kofferraum. Neben ihrem höheren Wirkungsgrad bietet die Brennstoffzelle, deren Prinzip der britische Physiker Sir William Grove bereits 1839 entdeckte, eine Reihe weiterer Vorteile gegenüber dem Verbrennungsmotor: Es gibt keine beweglichen Teile, die ölgeschmiert werden müssen und verschleißen können, so dass das System sehr wartungsarm ist. Außerdem eröffnet der Antrieb völlig neue Möglichkeiten in der Fahrzeuggestaltung, bis hin zum Wegfall des Motorraums.

      Welcher Kraftstoff, welches Konzept die Nase vorn haben wird, hängt nicht zuletzt von den politischen Rahmenbedingungen ab. "Wenn Wasserstoff so hoch besteuert wird wie Benzin, brauchen wir erst gar nicht anzufangen," sagt Christoph Huß, Vorstandsbeauftragter für Verkehr und Umwelt bei BMW. Die steuerliche Behandlung umweltfreundlicher Kraftstoffe ist nur eine der Fragen, die von der Verkehrswirtschaftlichen Energiestrategie (VES) beantwortet werden sollen. In der vom Bundesverkehrsministerium im Mai 1998 gegründeten Initiative sitzen Autohersteller und Unternehmen aus der Energiewirtschaft an einem Tisch. Ihre Aufgabe: Gemeinsam sollen sie sich auf einen oder maximal zwei alternative Kraftstoffe für Personen- und Nutzfahrzeuge einigen und der Politik Empfehlungen geben, wie sie zu einer schnellen Markteinführung beitragen kann. Geht es nach der Bundesregierung, soll der neue Kraftstoff bereits im Jahr 2020 einen Marktanteil von mindestens 15 Prozent erreichen. Noch ist man davon weit entfernt. So einfach das mehrstufige Auswahlverfahren zu Beginn war - von insgesamt 13 Alternativen sind die drei Kraftstoffe Erdgas, Methanol und Wasserstoff übrig geblieben - so konfliktträchtig ist der weitere Verständigungsprozess. Ohne baldige Einigung, fürchtet die Regierung, könnte Deutschland seine führende Position in der Wasserstoff- und Brennstoffzellentechnologie einbüßen - und die ökologische Umgestaltung des Autoverkehrs ließe noch lange auf sich warten. Vom Start weg müssen nach Expertensicht mindestens zehn Prozent der Tankstellen-Infrastruktur auf den neuen Kraftstoff umgerüstet sein, wenn der Umstieg gelingen soll. Sonst könnte es den Necars und Hydro-Gens ähnlich ergehen wie dem Erdgas-Auto.

      Im Wettrennen um "first to market" der Autofirmen haben die Kraftstoff-Lieferanten ein Wörtchen mitzureden, denn die sollen ja die Infrastruktur hochziehen. Herman Kuipers vom Shell-Forschungszentrum in Amsterdam spricht denn auch von einem "chaotischen Gemisch" von Kraftstoffen, aus dem sich irgendwann die besten herauskristallisieren werden. Auch aus Sicht von Shell werde Wasserstoff der Hauptenergieträger der Zukunft sein. "Die Brennstoffzelle ist das Vehikel, das den Aufbau einer Welt auf Basis erneuerbarer Energien antreibt und erleichtert", sagt er, und die richtige Mischung aus verschiedenen fossilen und erneuerbaren Brennstoffen und Energiequellen werde die volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten minimieren. Große Hoffnung setzt der Konzern dabei auf den von ihm entwickelten CPO-Prozess (Catalytic Partial Oxidation), der Benzin oder Diesel mit Wasser und Luft zu Kohlenmonoxid und Wasserstoff umwandelt. "Dieser CPO-Katalysator kann auch im Auto eingesetzt werden, wobei der Reaktionsprozess in einem Behälter von der Größe eines halben Wasserglases abläuft. Für den Katalysator sind weniger als ein Gramm an Edelmetallen notwendig", berichtet Kuipers, so dass die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Verfahrens kein Problem bedeute. Er räumt ein, dass derzeit der Methanol-Reformer die Nase vorn habe, aber Benzin sei nun mal global verfügbar, nicht besonders giftig und "schmeckt nicht". Ein neuer Brennstoff hingegen würde 100 000 Mark Investitionen pro Tankstelle erfordern, die über einen Preisaufschlag von zwölf Pfennig pro Liter eingefahren werden müssten. "Das Leben wird weitergehen", meint Kuipers beruhigend, wenn das Öl zur Neige gehe. Nach den Shell-Planungen - die Firma ist bereits heute einer der größten Wasserstoff-Produzenten weltweit - werde das Wasserstoff-Zeitalter Mitte des 21. Jahrhunderts anbrechen, wettbewerbsfähig sein und auf erneuerbaren Energiequellen beruhen.

      Reinhold Wurster, Projektmanager bei der Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik, hört solche Verheißungen mit Freude, da seine Firma zu den eifrigsten Verfechtern der Wasserstoff-Technologie gehört. Er beschäftigt sich vor allem mit den technischen Sicherheitsaspekten, denn Wasserstoff ist ein hochexplosiver Stoff. Allerdings habe das Gas gegenüber etwa Propan oder Erdgas den großen Vorteil, dass es leichter als Luft ist, schnell aufsteige und sich so von Zündquellen entferne. "Wasserstoff wird seit über einem Jahrhundert in der chemischen Industrie sicher eingesetzt", versichert er, so dass auch die bisherigen Versuche mit Wasserstoff-Fahrzeugen "alle erforderlichen Sicherheitstests bestens erfüllt" hätten. Wurster schlägt, obwohl die Gesetzeslage es nicht zwingend erforderlich macht, dennoch die Schaffung eines europäischen Regelwerks für den mobilen Wasserstoffeinsatz vor.

      Bei der Speicherung von Wasserstoff haben sich bislang die Hoffnungen auf neue Technologien nicht erfüllt. Am weitesten fortgeschritten ist die Lagerung in Druck- oder Kältetanks. Die Speicherung in Metallhydriden ist zwar möglich, allerdings sind die derzeit bekannten Metallgemische zu langsam für eine rasches Tanken an der Zapfsäule. Auch die Erfolgs-Meldungen über Speicherversuche mit Kohlenstoff-Nanoröhrchen, die angeblich bis zu 80 Gewichtsprozent Wasserstoff aufnehmen können, haben sich bislang in den Labors der Autoindustrie nicht nachvollziehen lassen. "Bis vor kurzem standen die Nanoröhrchen allerdings nur im Milligramm-Bereich zur Verfügung", berichtet Wurster, "inzwischen sind sie als Kilogramm herstellbar." Falls damit doch noch ein Durchbruch erzielt werden könnte, wären mit einem Tank herkömmlicher Größe Reichweiten von mehr als 1000 Kilometer möglich.

      Angeschoben von den Erfolgen der Autoindustrie beim raschen Entwickeln der Brennstoffzellen-Technologie sieht Wurster auch einen "gewaltigen Paradigmen-Wechsel in der Stromwirtschaft". Weg von den Großkraftwerken, hin zum virtuellen Kraftwerk. Vor allem für Kleinanlagen zwischen einem und 100 Megawatt Leistung erwartet Hermann Kabs, Projektmanager beim Kraftwerksbauer Siemens-KWU, hervorragende Marktchancen. Seine Firma erprobt verschiedene Hybridanlagen, die aus Brennstoffzellen und Mikro-Gasturbinen bestehen und damit bis zu 70 Prozent elektrischen und 20 Prozent thermischen Wirkungsgrad erzielen. "Die Energieversorger werden in jedes Haus ein kleines Kraftwerk setzen", wirft er einen Blick in die Zukunft.

      Die Zulieferer für Kleinabnehmer haben sich ebenfalls bereits positioniert. Die Schweizer Firma Sulzer Hexis wird bereits im kommenden Jahr eine mit Erdgas betriebene Brennstoffzellen-Heizung auf den Markt bringen. Der Gesamtwirkungsgrad beträgt 90 Prozent, wobei 25 Prozent (1,5 kW) als elektrische Energie anfallen. Der ökologische Gewinn ist unübersehbar: Der Wirkungsgrad von Großkraftwerken liegt deutlich darunter. Während die Sulzer-Zelle bei einer Temperatur von 950 Grad Celsius arbeitet, setzt der deutsche Heizungsbauer Vaillant in Remscheid auf die kühleren PEM-Zellen, die auch die Autofirmen favorisieren. Allerdings wird hier ein elektrischer Wirkungsgrad von 40 Prozent (4,6 kW Strom und sieben kW Wärme) angestrebt. Nach dem schon angelaufenen Demonstrationsprojekt ist die Markteinführung für 2004 geplant. Vaillant hofft dann auf "zeitlich begrenzte politische Hilfen" in Form eines "100 000-Kellerprogramms" mit direkter Förderung.

      "Das Ziel jedenfalls ist klar", sagt Professor Bernd Höhlein vom Forschungszentrum Jülich. "Als Endpunkt der Entwicklung wünschen wir uns einen möglichst großen Anteil von regenerativem Wasserstoff für die Brennstoffzelle." Darin verbinde sich der höchste Wirkungsgrad mit der besten Umweltfreundlichkeit. Höhlein warnt zugleich davor, den Systemwechsel überhastet zu planen. "Wir werden über längere Zeiträume noch die so genannten Brücken-Technologien - also die Nutzung von Kohlenwasserstoffen wie Benzin oder Methanol - einsetzen müssen", erläutert der Experte für Energieverfahrenstechnik. Die Geschichte der Technik, so Höhlein, zeige, dass üblicherweise ein "vernünftiger Mix" entstehe. Bei der sich rasant entwickelnden Brennstoffzellen-Technologie sei es jetzt wichtig, "nicht zu früh einen Ast abzuschneiden, sondern den vielen innovativen Ansätzen freien Lauf zu lassen". Und den Rest, ist Höhlein optimistisch, "den regelt dann der Markt".

      Auch aus Umweltsicht ist beim Brennstoffzellen-Auto keine Eile geboten. "Eine zwingende ökologische Notwendigkeit zur Einführung von Brennstoffzellen-Pkw besteht nicht", betont Andreas Patyk vom Ifeu-Institut Heidelberg. In einer Ökobilanz seines Hauses wurden die verschiedenen Antriebsalternativen auf ihre Umweltwirkungen hin untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, so Patyk auf einer vom Institute for International Research Anfang der Woche in Frankfurt veranstalteten Tagung, dass die Art und die Herstellung des Kraftstoffes mehr Einfluss auf den Treibhauseffekt habe, als das jeweilige Antriebskonzept. Solange der Wasserstoff noch aus fossilen Primärenergien wie Erdgas oder Erdöl gewonnen wird, ist kein Vorteil der Brennstoffzelle gegenüber konventionellen Antrieben zu erkennen, bestätigt auch Joachim Nitsch, Leiter der Abteilung für Systemanalyse und Technikbewertung am Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) in Stuttgart. Der Herstellungsaufwand für Wasserstoff oder Methanol aus Erdgas machten die Vorteile auf der Antriebseite nämlich weitgehend wieder zunichte. Erst wenn der Wasserstoff aus regenerativen Quellen stamme, sehe die Bilanz des Kohlendioxid-Ausstoßes entscheidend günstiger aus.

      Da die Umweltvorteile derzeit nicht so gravierend sind, müssen sich die Kosten des Brennstoffzellenantriebs am konventionellen Antrieb messen lassen. Auf absehbare Zeit stellt dies nach Ansicht von Nitsch die größte Hürde dar und wird die breite und rasche Markteinführung erschweren. Doch langsam aber sicher, davon ist Nitsch überzeugt, wird die Brennstoffzelle kommen.

      Hi,
      der Kurs verfällt trotz stetiger guter Nachrichten, jetzt bin ich wieder auf meinem Einstandsniveau. 10 Dollar sind die letzte Unterstützung vor der nächsten Kurshalbierung, aber was hat das im Moment schon zu bedeuten. Wir sind uns wohl einig, daß man mit UDC nur auf Sicht von einigen Jahren Geld machen kann, dann aber richtig und steuerfrei.

      hallo zusammen
      bis jetzt haben wir hier wenig über wettbewerb geposted.
      wie früher vermutet sind natürlich auch die fernöstler dabei:


      SEOUL (dpa-AFX) - Der koreanische Elektronikhersteller Samsung SDI und der japanische Computer- und Telefonhersteller NEC Corp wollen in den kommenden fünf Jahren gemeinsam 473 Mio. Euro investieren. Dabei handele es sich um ein Joint-Venture zur Entwicklung und Fertigung neuartiger Anzeigesysteme für Computer. Dies teilten die beiden Partner am Mittwoch mit. Demnach werden die Systeme auf dem Verfahren der organischen Elektroluminiszenz basieren, bei der spezielle Kunststofffolien zum Leuchten gebracht werden.

      Einsatzgebiet der Anzeigen sollen in erster Linie Mobilgeräte wie Taschencomputer und Mobiltelefone sein. Samsung SDI wird den Angaben zufolge 51% und NEC 49% an dem Samsung NEC Mobile display Co Ltd getauften Gemeinschaftsunternehmen halten.

      In dem Gemeinschaftsunternehmen werde Samsungs Kompetenz auf den Gebieten Fertigung und Vertrieb mit dem technischen Know-how von NEC verbunden, sagte der Samsung SDI-Vorstandsvorsitzende Kim Soon-taek.

      Organische Anzeigen brauchen im Gegensatz zu gängigen Flachbildschirmen keine Hintergrundbeleuchtung. Sie zeichnen sich durch geringen Strom- und Platzbedarf, schnellen Bildaufbau sowie einen breiten Betrachtungswinkel aus

      Hallo,
      heute nichts neues zu UDC sondern zu emagin, meiner zweiten OLED-Aktie, die ich leider zu früh gekauft habe. Der Kurs war im Zuge der allgemeinen Panik von 8 auf 3 Dollar gecrasht, aber die Meldung gibt mir wieder Hoffnung. Zur Erinnerung: emagins Spezialität sind kleine, hochauflösende OLEDs auf Siliziumchips. Das hat u.a. den Vorteil, daß man die Displays sozusagen direkt in der Computerelektronik integrieren kann (z.B. bei Handys). Die Auflösung ist sensationell: 1024 x 768 Pixel auf Displays mit unter einem Zoll Diagonale.

      eMagin Corporation Honored as 2000 Display of the Year Gold Award Winner By Society for Information Display and Information Display Magazine
      eMagin`s OLED-on-Silicon Display Wins Prestigious International Award
      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for Information Display (SID) and Information Display Magazine have named eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA - news) the winner of the prestigious 2000 SID Information Display Magazine Display of the Year Gold Award. The Display of the Year Gold Award went to eMagin for technological advancement in the development of the company`s organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplay technology, referred to as OLED-on-silicon.

      The Information Display Magazine Display of the Year Awards were established in 1995 to recognize outstanding products in the display industry. The Awards committee includes distinguished display technologists, professors and leading editors from around the world, and the winners are chosen for their innovation and potential impact on current and future display markets.

      eMagin, a licensee of Eastman Kodak`s fundamental OLED technology, has developed numerous enhancements to OLED technology as well as key silicon circuit designs, including a unique, up-emitting structure for OLED-on-silicon devices. eMagin`s advancements enable OLED displays to be built on opaque silicon integrated circuits rather than only on glass. As a result, many computer and video electronic system functions can be built directly into the OLED-on-silicon microdisplay, resulting in a compact system with expected lower overall system costs relative to alternate microdisplay technologies. OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer a number of advantages over current liquid crystal microdisplays, including increased brightness, lower power requirements, less weight and wider viewing angles. Using OLED-on-silicon technology, a microdisplay smaller than one inch in diagonal can produce an image that appears comparable to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television.

      In May 2000, eMagin unveiled the world`s highest efficiency, bright white OLED-on-silicon publicly displayed. eMagin showed that OLEDs-on-silicon could provide a high quality bright white image and could generate high resolution moving images with quality gray scale control. In September 2000, eMagin unveiled the world`s first full-color active matrix OLED-on-silicon microdisplay, which showed the first near product-quality color moving images using OLED-on-silicon technology. In October 2000 eMagin publicly displayed the world`s highest resolution microdisplay prototype, its SVGA+ (super video graphics array) which features over 1.5 million color elements.

      ``eMagin is to honored to receive this prestigious award from SID and Information Display Magazine for our OLED-on-silicon microdisplay technology,`` said Gary Jones, Chief Executive Officer and President of eMagin Corporation. ``This award recognizes the technological advances eMagin has made in developing OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and the variety of ways this technology can be applied. We expect our microdisplays to be key enablers for mobile electronic products requiring high resolution imaging technology.``

      Jones added, ``We would also like to take this opportunity to express sincere appreciation for the leadership of the US Air Force Research Laboratory Human Effectiveness Directorate, the US Army Displays Group of the Night Vision Directorate, and the Department of Commerce NIST Advanced Technology Program, each of which have supported development of key elements of our OLED technology in funded research programs.``

      The upcoming Display of the Year awards presentation will be held during the Society for Information Display conference, June 3-8, 2001, in San Jose, Calif.

      eMagin plans to market its OLED-on-silicon microdisplays to original equipment manufacturers for applications including: (1) Near-eye viewers for digital cameras, camcorders and hand-held Internet and telecommunications appliances; and (2) Head-wearable displays which can be used in consumer applications such as entertainment and gaming video headset systems, notebook computers and handheld personal computers; military applications; and commercial and industrial applications such as 3-D video, web browsing and microsurgery.

      Universal Display Develops Flexible OLEDs to Improve Information Density, Readability of More Rugged Hand Held Device Displays
      MONTEREY, Calif., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- In a presentation entitled ``Recent Progress in High Efficiency Flexible OLED Displays``, being given today at the Stanford Resources` 17th Annual Flat Information Displays Conference by Janice Mahon, Vice President of Technology Commercialization of Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (Nasdaq: PANL - news), Mahon explains how UDC`s proprietary new FOLED technology will improve the performance of hand-held device panels. Current low-contrast, single-color LCDs (liquid crystal displays) found in today`s devices, such as cell phones and PDAs, suffer from fragility and low resolution.

      The presentation focuses on advances in OLED operating characteristics, some of which are better efficiency, relatively long life and a full-color emission. In addition, lower cost materials, fewer process steps, indicate the potential for low cost production of OLEDs and less capital cost of equipment than used in making LCDs. OLEDs also have the potential of being mass processed using web techniques.

      Ein kleiner Bericht in der Business Week dürfte den kleinen Höhenflug von UDC verursacht haben. Am Ende wird auch UDC erwähnt.

      Imagine replacing your big, bulky computer monitor with a sheet of lightweight flexible plastic, made of recycled glass, that can bend and fold like a movie poster? Or maybe pushing a button to turn your car`s windshield into a see-through map with real-time visual driving instructions? Thanks to recent advances in so-called organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), such pie-in-the-sky displays could be hanging on your wall or riding atop your dashboard in as few as five years.

      To be sure, this is truly bleeding-edge technology that`s barely on the high-tech radar screen. Research company Stanford Resources estimates that the OLED market was a measly $3 million in 1999. But sales of these devices could hit $1 billion by 2006, the researcher says.

      Why? OLEDs should prove simpler and cheaper to manufacture than traditional displays. They consume less power and provide equal if not superior image quality compared to contemporary liquid crystal display (LCD) and cathode ray tube (CRT) screens. Also, OLEDs can be made of cast-off materials such as plastic, glass, or even T-shirts. "OLED is in its infancy, but it already shows a much wider range than inorganic technology" like CRTs and even LCD flat screens, says UCLA material-science professor Yang Yang.

      PSYCHEDELIC PARTICLES. Here`s how an OLED works. When zapped with an electric charge, a superthin film of organic molecules such as carbon, oxygen, or hydrogen emits a photon of a certain color. Stacking these films on top of each other can create a full-color display. These lightweight films can be molded onto plastics, paper, or almost any type of pliable material.

      The flexibility eliminates the need for the fragile and heavy glass panels used to keep the liquid crystals in place in today`s LCDs. And because OLEDs emit their own light, they don`t require a separate backlighting source to illuminate images on the screen. That means OLEDs consume less power.

      Furthermore, light-emitting displays are easier on the eyes and much easier to follow in confined spaces such as airplane seats because of the wider range of viewing angles they support. Some OLEDs can be viewed throughout a 170-degree range. That`s more than five times better than LCDs, which typically have viewing-angle ranges of only 30 degrees to 35 degrees.

      Environmentally, OLEDs are also superior. Conventional, inorganic light-emitting devices are typically made from materials like indium phosphide or gallium arsenide that are expensive to dispose of and highly toxic. Both these substances are costly to handle and also prone to defects when used over large surface areas. In contrast, OLEDs can be made of simple nontoxic organic materials. And engineers can stretch these films over much larger areas with a smaller rate of defects than occurs in conventional displays.

      LONGER LIFETIMES. OLEDs do have some drawbacks. Organic films degrade quickly when exposed to air, water, or ultraviolet light. But advances in film casings that protect OLEDs from these elements have now enhanced their stability significantly. "Before, OLEDs lasted a few hundred hours at most, which is not commercially acceptable. But now, lifetimes are in the thousands of hours, which is improvement enough to move to the marketplace" says Larry Dalton, a University of Washington chemistry professor.

      With these improved OLED lifetimes, a welter of new products are coming through the development pipeline. Kodak is one company that looks well positioned to cash in on the bonanza with 50 OLED patents. Earlier this year, Kodak and Sanyo Electric introduced a full-color OLED active-matrix display measuring 5.5 inches diagonally. The display is targeted for digital cameras, PDAs, and other handheld electronic devices. "OLEDs will be a dominant force in flat displays," says James C. Stoffel, Kodak`s chief technical officer. The Rochester (N.Y.) company has already entered into licensing agreements with Pioneer, Sanyo Electric, TDK, and Nippon Seiki.

      Lucent is working on what it calls electronic paper. Its prototype is a 25-square-inch flexible paper-like display. Lucent claims that unlike conventional LCDs, the electronic-paper display is easily readable under both bright and dim lighting conditions. The display draws only one-tenth to one-thousandth the power of an LCD of equivalent size, and the prototype can display both text and simple graphics while being flexed.

      EYEGLASS DISPLAYS. "The Holy Grail is the high-content display that`s basically a reprintable sheet of electronic paper," says Pierre Wiltzius, Lucent`s director of semiconductor physics research. The company is figuring to license the technology within the next five years.

      The prize for Universal Display Corp. is in "heads up" displays. These are displays projected onto the windshields of cars, the visors of motorcycle helmets, or even eyeglasses. Universal is developing OLEDs that are transparent when not energized, making it possible to create image viewers on clear plastic or glass mediums. "We call them TOLEDS -- transparent OLEDs -- and we think they will be greatly used as interior display devices for automobiles," says Universal President and CEO Steven V. Abramson, who expects to bring the products to market sometime in the next five years.

      Across the Atlantic, England`s Cambridge Display Technology is developing OLED patents from Cambridge University. CDT is using inkjet technology to print OLEDs onto large areas of plastic or glass substrates. "With it, you can one day print out large, roll-up TV screens or even wallpaper that can light up," says David Fyfe, CDT`s CEO.

      Fancy stuff. But for now, expect to see OLEDs more in cell-phone screens and, eventually, PDAs. By 2003, the first commercially available OLED screens on laptop computers could hit the commercial market, some analysts believe. Kodak`s Stoffel says OLED panels need to reach lifetimes of 5,000 hours and higher to be viable replacements for laptop LCD displays. OLEDs aren`t there yet, but in coming years, you`re going to be hearing hear the phrase "it`s organic" in your local computer store.

      Personal Technology
      Displays On Display At CES
      Amy Doan, Forbes.com, 01.05.01, 6:46 PM ET


      SILICON VALLEY - This weekend`s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will feature dozens of panels, ranging from "Secrets of Top Network Installers" to something called the "Surround Music Roundtable."


      But another kind of panel is much more interesting: the flat-panel display technology that dozens of companies will trot out in the coming week. The bulky cathode ray tube (CRT) that`s probably on your desktop just won`t work for mobile appliances, so manufacturers are searching for thin, lightweight display alternatives.


      The CRT display market will grow just slightly over the next five years, from $24 billion this year to $27 billion in 2005, while the flat-panel display business will grow from $22.4 billion to $46 billion over the same period, according to Stanford Research in San Jose, Calif.


      While flat-panel liquid crystal displays have for years been too expensive for most consumers, prices are dropping. Companies like Philips (nyse: PHG), which sells more than 30% of the displays in cellular phones, and Eastman Kodak (nyse: EK), which created a promising organic display technology and recently opened a flat-panel display division in Walnut Creek, Calif., should fare well.


      Philips today announced a do-it-yourself Internet appliance display kit, which it will sell to a variety of companies that can tweak it and brand it with their own names. The line, called "Net Display," uses a Philips display and components from Transmeta (nasdaq: TMTA) and National Semiconductor (nyse: NSM). The company is going to start with a 10.4-inch screen but will broaden the line to include smaller and larger displays, according to Matthew Medeiros, president and chief executive of Philips Components in Sunnyvale, Calif.


      "The display market stands to do very well even in a downturn for the PC market," says Medeiros. "We think that devices are going to diverge, not converge, so you`ll have multiple displays connected to one machine, but handling different tasks."


      While flat-panel technology costs more than three times what CRTs do--and consumers aren`t willing to pay that much of a premium for flat-panels yet--Medeiros thinks that premium will be shaved to two times the cost by 2003.


      It`ll be longer than that before the most intriguing new kind of flat-panel technology, the Organic Light-Emitting Display, or OLED, invented by Kodak, comes down to an acceptable price range. But the innovation has come on faster than anyone expected.


      The organic light technology has become the most promising in a number of cutting-edge display technologies, including plasma and liquid crystal on silicon. It uses small, light-emitting molecules so it doesn`t require backlighting. That means it can be much brighter and uses less power than other approaches.


      There are plenty of kinks to work out, but OLED is being used in some Motorola (nyse: MOT) cellular phones already. At the show, which starts Jan. 6 and runs through Jan. 9, IBM (nyse: IBM) is demonstrating a prototype OLED watch that uses display technology from Hopewell Junction, N.Y.-based eMagin (amex: EMA). And there are more than 85 companies who are working on OLED products, according to David Mentley, the senior vice president of display research firm Stanford Research in San Jose, Calif.


      "I`ve been in this industry for 20 years, and I`ve never seen such accelerated interest," he says.

      Sony: Durchbruch bei organischen selbstleuchtenden Displays


      13-Zoll-OEL-Display-Prototyp mit 800 x 600 Punkten Bildauflösung


      Die Sony Corporation hat heute die Entwicklung von großen "Active Matrix Organic Electroluminescence (OEL) Displays" auf TFT-Basis bekannt gegeben. Einen ersten 13 Zoll großen farbfähigen Prototypen mit einer Auflösung von 800 x 600 Bildpunkten hat Sony laut eigenen Aussagen bereits gefertigt.

      Die für die junge OEL-Technologie recht enorme Displaygröße hat Sony durch eine Adaptive-Current-(TAC-)Ansteuerungs-Technologie erreicht, die gleichzeitig eine hohe Bildauflösung und gleichmäßige Leuchtstärke ermöglichen soll. Bisher wurden von verschiedenen Herstellern wesentlich kleinere Prototypen von OEL-Displays - übrigens auch als OLEDs (Organic LightEmitting Displays) bekannt - vorgestellt. Damit haben OEL-Displays eine technologische Hürde auf dem Weg zur Marktreife überwunden, so Sony.

      Sony verspricht, mit seinen selbstleuchtenden "Low-Temperature Polysilicon"-TFTs einen großen Blickwinkel, hohen Kontrast und präzise Farbwiedergabe. Zudem sollen die schmalen, leuchtstarken OEL-Displays sehr schnell reagieren und damit auch für die Wiedergabe von bewegten Bildern geeignet sein.

      Die Ankündigung verdeutlicht, was für ein Potenzial in OEL-Displays bzw. OLEDs steckt: Nicht nur für mobile Endgeräte oder kleine Informationsanzeigen ist diese als stromsparend geltende Technologie interessant, sondern unter anderem auch für Desktop-Displays und Fernseher. Bis die neue Displaytechnologie reif für die Massenproduktion ist, wird es allerdings noch etwas dauern. Sony hat nach der Fertigstellung des ersten funktionierenden 13-Zoll-Prototypen bereits angekündigt, sich nun der Entwicklung für Massenmarkt-Produkte zu kümmern, gab aber noch keine Prognosen zur Verfügbarkeit ab.

      Hallo allerseits
      ich habe hier eine nachricht in Heise Online gefunden
      Wie man sieht die Konkurenz schläft auch nicht

      Organisches Elektrolumineszenz-Display von Sony

      Auch Sony forscht an organischen Displays: Das japanische Unternehmen präsentierte jetzt einen 13-zölligen Bildschirm mit Pixeln aus organischen Elektrolumineszenzmaterial (EL). Der Prototyp zeigt 800×600 Bildpunkte, wobei jeder einzelne Bildpunkt von vier LTPS-Transistoren (Low Temperature PolySilicon) gesteuert wird. Die quadratischen Pixel haben eine Kantenlänge von 0,33 mm – was etwas größer ist als bei einem herkömmlichen 15-zölligen Flüssigkristallbildschirm (LCD). Die Leuchtdichte des Vollfarb-Displays gibt Sony mit 300 cd/m2 an; damit wäre das Display auch bei hellem Tageslicht noch gut ablesbar. Da Elektrolumineszenzbildschirme selbst Licht emittieren, entfällt bei ihnen die energiehungrige Hintergrundbeleuchtung, die Displays sind insgesamt dünner als LCDs.

      Während in Displays aus organische Polymeren (OLEDs) das Licht durch Rekombination von Elektronen und Löchern an einem pn-Übergang entsteht, nutzen EL-Displays eine lichtemittierende Schicht wie Phosphor. Diese wird durch hochenergetische Elektronen in einem elektrischen Feld zum Leuchten angeregt. Dabei verhält sich die EL-Schicht quasi wie eine Zenerdiode, die erst ab einer definierten Vorspannung durchschaltet, in diesem Fall also leuchtet. Hieraus entsteht auch eines der Probleme bei organischen EL-Displays: Weil die einzelnen Pixeltransistoren nicht exakt die gleiche Vorspannung besitzen, senden sie bei gleicher Ansteuerung unterschiedlich große Lichtmengen aus, die Leuchtdichte lässt sich nicht gleichmäßig über den Schirm verteilen. Diesen Effekt will Sony nun mit zwei zusätzlichen Offset-Transistoren in jedem Pixel beseitigen. Zusätzlich leuchten die EL-Pixel dank Sonys TAC-Technik (Top emissive Adaptive Current drive) nicht durch die Pixelelektronik hindurch, sondern in Gegenrichtung durch die lichtdurchlässige Kathode. Als Folge sind zum einen höhere maximale Leuchtdichten sowie kleinere Pixelstrukturen möglich. Zum anderen kann man die organische Schicht so besser gegen Feuchtigkeit schützen, denn an Stelle der reinen EL-Schicht will Sony gleich das gesamte Display mit einer transparenten Abdeckung verkapseln. Die OEL-Displays könnten so noch dünner und leichter werden – was ein immenser Vorteil für Mobilgeräte wäre.

      Mit dem jetzt vorgestellten 13-zölligen OEL-Prototypen hat der Hersteller gezeigt, dass sich auch großflächige Displays mit der selbstleuchtenden OEL-Technik realisieren lassen. Auch Firmen wie Sanyo, Planar und FED forschen an organischen Elektrolumineszenzanzeigen. Ende letzten Jahres hatte Sony Displays auf Basis so genannter Lichtventile (grating light valve) vorgestellt. Diese sollen nach Ansicht des japanischen Unternehmens in absehbarer Zeit herkömmliche Röhrenmonitore ersetzen.

      Ich glaube du schmeißt da etwas durcheinander.
      EL bedeutet Elektrolumineszenz,
      d.h. eine angelegte Spannung injiziert Elektronen
      und Löcher in ein Bauteil, diese rekombinieren
      und es entsteht so Licht!

      OLEDs oder PLEDs sind EL Displays!
      Da es sich um organische Substanzen handelt,
      die sich nicht wie normale LED Materialien dotieren
      lassen gibts da auch kein pn-Übergang (Ausnahme LECs).

      Ausserdem ist die Spannung, die benötigt wird um
      blaues Licht zu erzeugen größer, da dies Licht auch eine
      höhere Energie besitz als z.B. rotes!

      Oft werden nur blaue Dioden für kleine Displays benutzt und durch Leuchtstoffe,
      i.d.R Phosphore, in andere Farben umgewandelt.
      z.B. sind in Leuchtstoffröhren drei verschiedene Leuchtstoffe (Phosphore)
      RGB die zusammen nach Anregung weißes Licht aussenden!

      Hi Guest,

      zu deinem posting vom 06.12.2000 über Samsung und NEC
      giebt es jetzt sichtbare Resultate !!!!!!!!!!!
      hier nochmal zum Nachlesen aus den Golem Network News

      NEC und Samsung entwickeln organische Displays

      Gründung von Samsung NEC Mobile Displays

      Die Unternehmen NEC und Samsung SDI wollen gemeinsam Organic Electro Luminescence Displays (OELD), auch Organische Licht Emittierende Displays (OLED) genannt, entwickeln und zur Marktreife bringen. Dazu gründen sie das Joint-Venture-Unternehmen Samsung NEC Mobile Displays, an dem Samsung zu 51 Prozent und NEC zu 49 Prozent beteiligt sind.

      Laut der japanischen Pressemitteilung soll das neue Unternehmen organische Displays für den Einsatz in Autonavigationssystemen, Mobiltelefonen und Handhelds entwickeln. Im Gegensatz zu den gebräuchlichen LCDs sollen die schnell reagierenden, selbstleuchtenden OLEDs auf Grund der nicht benötigten Hintergrundbeleuchtung wesentlich leichter, gleichzeitig stromsparender und zudem besser für die Darstellung bewegter Bilder geeignet sein - ideal also für mobile Anwendungsgebiete.

      Bis die ersten Displays von Samsung NEC Mobile Displays auf den Markt kommen, werden jedoch noch etwa zwei Jahre vergehen.

      ich war gestern auf der CEBIT und habe mich überall nach news über Displays umgeschaut, und bin auf dem Stand von Samsung fündig geworden.Dort haben sie ein Board stehen aufdem im unteren Teil zwei Handys und ein Autoradio mit monochromen grünem Display installiert waren .Im oberen Bereich waren mehrere Fullcollordisplays mit einer Auflösung von ??,tja Alzheimer lässt grüßen ca. 230 X 160 Pixeln, 40X30X2,3mm auf denen gerade ein Fußballspiel übertragen wurde !!!!!
      Die Qualität war recht gut, jedoch ein bisschen dunkel, der Kontrast aber recht gut mit 40 cd/cm2 ,und einer Lebensdauer von ca. 10000 Betriebsstunden. Nach den Angaben von dem zuvorkommenden aber schwer verständlichem Asiatischem Pesonal am Stand seien diese Displays eine Weltneuheit und hier erstmals zu sehen.Diese Art Displays sollen in naher Zukunft in alle Mobile Geräte einbebaut werden.

      Die Display Revolution ist schon voll im Gange!!

      Press Release
      SOURCE: eMagin Corporation
      eMagin Demonstrates Color SVGA+ OLED Microdisplay at DisplaySearch Conference
      AUSTIN, Texas, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- eMagin Corporation (Amex: EMA - news), the leader in virtual imaging display technology, gave the first public demonstration of its SVGA+ color OLED-on-Silicon microdisplay at this year`s DisplaySearch US Flat Panel Display Conference, held March 20-22 in Austin, Texas. The SVGA+ microdisplay, designed for consumer and other broad based market applications, represents a new era in near-eye virtual imaging.

      The SVGA+ microdisplay has 852 x 600 triad color stripes and was shown operating both DVD video and computer images in full color with luminance of more than 100 cd/m2. The display was designed to be operable in both 16:9 and 4:3 image aspect ratios for compatibility with a variety of applications. The integrated circuit accepts standard RGB analog video signals such as found on most PC compatible computers (desktops and notebooks), and includes an on-chip pixel clock recovery circuit. Additionally, the display offers low power consumption, less than 300 mW at nominal video modes.

      ``The SVGA+ microdisplay offers OEMs a complete integrated analog interface microdisplay solution,`` said Susan Jones, Executive Vice President of eMagin. ``When combined with magnifying optics, it is ideal for use in portable devices such as wearable computers, portable DVD players, camcorders, and wireless Internet viewers.``

      Designed with 52 additional imaging columns than a standard SVGA display (600 x 800 pixels), the SVGA+ display interfaces not only to the analog output of many portable computers but with wide-screen format DVD players as well. Selection between the video modes is done through a register set accessible via the on-chip serial interface. The serial interface also provides for user adjustments such as contrast, brightness, and display orientation.

      Development of the SVGA+ was funded in part by the US Army Displays Group of the Night Vision Directorate. Initial evaluations of the prototype microdisplay are currently underway by select potential users.

      eMagin Corporation unveiled the world`s first full-color active matrix OLED-on-Silicon microdisplay (built on the company`s monochrome SXGA array) at last year`s International Display Research Conference (IDRC) in Palm Beach, Florida.

      Und noch was neues zum Thema OLED Displays von Kodak habe ich in der Zeitschrift PixelGuide gefunden!!!

      Unter der Bezeichnung OLED hat Kodak eine revolutionäre Display-Technologie zur Marktreife entwickelt.

      OLED basiert darauf, dass organische Halbleiter -wenn sie unter Spannung gesetzt werden -Licht aussenden können.In der Praxis können damit in Zukunft wesentlich leistungsfähigere Bildschirme (z.B. in Digitalkammeras oder UMTS-Handys)mit hoher Leuchtkraft produziert werden.

      Zefix luia sag i jetz bin i scho dort g`wesn und hob`s net g`sehn!!!!!Des damische Kodak Display !!
      vileicht hot ja oaner von aich a buildl davon g`schoßn und stöllts hier eini ?

      Displays von morgen: aus Plastik

      Einen Blick auf die Displaytechnik von morgen kann man an den Ständen von Kodak, Samsung und Ritek tun. Dort werden erstmals organische Displays, so genannte OLEDs, gezeigt.
      Kodak präsentiert in Halle 9, Stand A18, unter anderem einen vollfarbigen 5,5"-Bildschirm mit Aktiv-Matrix-Ansteuerung und 1/4-VGA-Auflösung. Am laufenden Videofilm demonstriert das Unternehmen die hohe Schaltgeschwindigkeit der extrem dünnen Anzeigen.

      Bei Samsung in Halle 12, Stand C49, kann man die ersten passiv angesteuerten, vollfarbigen OLEDs der SNMD bewundern. Die knapp 3,5 × 4,4 Zentimeter großen organischen Anzeigen der Samsung NEC Mobil Display Corporation zeigen ebenfalls Bewegtbilder und sollen in künftigen UTMS-Handys zum Einsatz kommen. An der Schaltgeschwindigkeit des Displays wird es dann wohl nicht liegen, wenn Videos ruckeln: Die kleinen Anzeigen brauchen nur eine Mikrosekunde, um die Farbe zu wechseln.

      Die taiwanische Ritek Display Technology wartet in Halle 12, Stand A34, mit einfarbigen OLEDs auf, die sich bereits in der Massenfertigung befinden. Sie sollen zunächst in kleine Spielconsolen à la Gameboy wandern – der erste PDA mit organischem Display scheint aber nicht mehr allzu weit entfernt. (uk/c`t)

      Jetzt in deutsch der Bericht ist aus dem Heise Online Ticker.
      Ich war zwar auf dem Kodak Stand habe aber leider nur die DigiCams begutachtet .Sollte einer von euch zur Cebit gehen, macht euch mal schlau und schreibt ein Paar Zeilen ins Board.

      Moin,
      Kodak schön und gut, es gibt ja auch noch andere grosse Firmen, die sich mit OLED beschäftigen. Leider werden sich Erfolge nicht grossartig auf den Aktienkurs auswirken, denn Displays sind dann nur ein Geschäftsfeld unter vielen. Da lobe ich mir R&D-Nischenfirmen wie UDC und emagin, die erhebliches Kurspotenzial haben.

      @Mo2
      Natürlich hast du recht mit den großen wie Kodak usw.!!
      Ich will beim besten willen nichts dort investieren, wie du schon sagst da wird es wohl kaum was zu an Zuwächsen geben. Allerdings könnten diese sehr wohl auch auf das eine oder andere Patent von UDC zugreifen.
      Ansonsten geht es in meinen postings hier im Thread nur darum, alle passenden Berichte und Informationen die ich finde weiterzugeben, um ein komplettes Bild über die Entwicklungen in dieser Technologie zu bekommen

      Hallo Leute,
      beobachte ein bisschen PANL und EMA mit (bin auch ein wenig investiert).
      Leider bin ich weder technisch noch aktientechnisch bewandert, so dass ich auch weiterhin
      ein stiller Beobachter dieses Boards sein werde. (Macht weiter so !)
      Bei Yahoo.com habe ich folgende Message gefunden, vielleicht erklärt sie ja den gestrigen Anstieg.
      Tschüss,

      As I stated before... My prediction is a "business or licensing" deal with SONY regarding the Inverted OLED patent
      that was mentioned in SONY`s recent press release to be used in their TV`s to be produced in `03.

      Expect the announcement by week`s end!!!!

      EMA steht PANL nach den letzten news, auch was die kursentwicklung angeht, in nichts nach.hier die news von heute,produktionsanfang!:

      eMagin Corporation Offers World`s First Full-Color OLEDFull-Color,
      Video-Capable OLED Microdisplays to be Available to Commercial Manufacturers
      Worldwide

      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y., Apr 18, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- eMagin
      Corporation (Amex: EMA), the leader in OLED-on-Silicon microdisplay technology,
      today announced that it is accepting orders for its new full-color active matrix
      organic light emitting diode (OLED) SVGA+ Developer`s Kit. The SVGA+ OLED
      microdisplay, designed for consumer applications, contains more than 1.5 million
      individually addressable picture elements and exhibits up to 16 million colors.

      "eMagin has the first OLED microdisplay available for sale to commercial
      manufacturers for use as a computer or video display," said Gary Jones, eMagin`s
      CEO and president. "It is essentially the first full-color commercial OLED
      display of any kind available. This marks an important turning point for eMagin
      as a company, as we move from the development-stage toward production."

      The SVGA+ Developer`s Kit, targeted at near-eye video and data applications,
      will be available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) designing viewers
      for mobile information products such as portable computers, wireless Internet
      viewers, portable DVD players, gaming platforms, and wearable computers. The kit
      consists of a color SVGA+ resolution microdisplay and associated electronics
      required for OEMs to build and test new products. It will also provide OEMs with
      the first opportunity to evaluate an OLED-on-silicon microdisplay. Key
      advantages include low power, high luminance, lighter weight, easy integration
      with optics, and capability for integration on silicon ICs to provide
      system-on-a-chip capability. Properly interfaced, the display will support
      either PC or consumer video applications requiring minimal system power. At the
      same time, it provides high-resolution, high-speed, flicker-free video that can
      be coupled with inexpensive optics to create a large field of view with
      easy-to-view images.

      Jones added, "Our team at eMagin has worked intensely to bring this new
      technology to market and to create an automated manufacturing capability. We
      also want to thank our outstanding partners and suppliers including Kodak,
      Covion, Idemitsu Kosan, Ulvac, the US Air Force, and the US Army, among others.
      It is truly wonderful to see the excitement from our customers as they realize
      how much performance they are going to be able to achieve with our SVGA+
      display, coupled with the elimination of the many expensive components needed to
      utilize other microdisplay products that otherwise can double or triple the
      cost."

      eMagin recently brought into operation the last of its core manufacturing
      equipment, which provides potential capacity for 50,000 to 100,000 SVGA-class
      displays per month. The company has already received requests from over 40 OEMs
      and is seeking potential partners who require high-volume microdisplay
      production capacity. Customer requests for Developer Kits and additional SVGA+
      displays should go to www.emagin.com or call 408-567-9700.

      eMagin will be showing the SVGA+ in several demonstration viewfinder and headset
      systems in the West Hall of the Electronic Display Exhibition (EDEX 2001) in
      Tokyo through April 20, 2001.

      About eMagin`s SVGA+ OLED Microdisplay

      The SVGA+ microdisplay has a compact 0.62-inch diagonal active screen that is
      suitable for creating virtual images similar to the real images of a computer
      monitor or large TV screen. This display has over 1.5 million potential color
      subpixel elements (600 x 3 x 852 pixels). The display was dubbed "SVGA Plus"
      because it has 52 more imaging columns than a standard SVGA display. These added
      columns make it possible for the SVGA+ display to run either 600 x 800 pixels in
      order to interface to the analog output of portable computers or to run 852 x
      480 pixels in a 16:9 wide screen entertainment format (e.g., DVD players). The
      OLED microdisplay stores all the color and luminance value information at each
      of the pixel elements in the display array, eliminating the flicker or color
      breakup seen by most other high resolution microdisplay technologies.

      The display contains the majority of the electronics required for connection to
      the RGB port of a PC imbedded in its silicon IC backplane, thereby eliminating
      many other components required by other display technologies such as D-A
      converters, ASICs, light sources, multiple optical elements, and other
      components. This unique design makes the new class of microdisplay potentially
      the most compact, highest image quality, and lowest cost solution for SVGA
      resolution near-eye applications.

      In addition, with no perimeter glue seal band requirement, the number of
      displays per silicon wafer can be higher on OLEDs than on liquid crystal
      displays (LCDs), helping to reduce the cost to OEMs. eMagin`s unique long life
      OLED technology has the potential for over 10,000 hour life at luminances
      brighter than the typical notebook computer display, well in excess of the
      requirement for most near-eye viewer consumer products. The OLED-on-silicon
      microdisplay has exhibited superior temperature range characteristics over other
      near-eye viewer alternatives and is expected to have lowest power consumption
      requirement of any full-color, full-video SVGA resolution range display on the
      market

      Universal Display Announces Blue Phosphorescent OLED Device
      New Device Establishes Core of High Efficiency Red, Green and Blue Phosphorescent Materials for Full-Color Flat Panel Displays

      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2001-- Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (Nasdaq:PANL PHLX:PNL) announced today that the company and its research partners at Princeton University, and the University of Southern California have invented what they believe to be the world`s first efficient phosphorescent blue OLED(Organic Light Emitting Device).

      The blue OLED, in combination with the red and green phosphorescent OLEDs already developed by UDC and its partners, establish the core of primary colors and provides a promising advance in opening up the full color, active matrix OLED display market.

      According to Steven V. Abramson, president of UDC, ``This demonstration of an efficient blue phosphorescent device is an extraordinary accomplishment by our scientists at UDC and our partners at Princeton, USC and PPG Industries. This development can accelerate the market penetration of our OLED technology for a number of product applications ranging from advanced ``3G`` cell phones and other high resolution portable products to television monitors.``

      Dr. Mark Thompson of the University of Southern California, a principal inventor of the phosphorescent material system and a member of UDC`s Scientific Advisory Board said that phosphorescent materials can be up to four times more efficient than conventional fluorescent materials for OLEDs. ``Efficiency is critical for long battery life for portable display applications, and longer lifetimes for video monitor applications.``

      He added that, the new device was a fluorinated iridium organometallic complex and has been named ``Firpic``. It has a luminous efficiency of approximately 12 cd/A, which is more efficient than conventional fluorescent materials. Initial lifetime is a few hundred hours, which is longer than UDC`s phosphorescent green OLED when it was first invented last year. The phosphorescent green OLED is currently exhibiting lifetimes exceeding 10,000 hours.

      Dr. Stephen Forrest of Princeton University, a member of UDC`s Scientific Advisory Board and whose innovative OLED work has been fundamental to UDC`s success noted: ``In just a few short years the conventional wisdom seems to have gone from thinking that the use of phosphorescent materials in OLEDs was impossible, to now believing that they are essential, as reflected by the recent announcement with Sony Corporation.``

      UDC recently announced a Joint Development Agreement with Sony Corporation focusing on the use of OLEDs in large area video monitors.

      Hallo silicondoom!
      Kann ich: wie bei Opticom und EMA durch einen Artikel in der c`t (1999). Da ich beruflich viel mit Computern zu tun habe und mich die prähistorischen CRT-Röhren schon immer nervten, war ich gleich begeistert von den selbstleuchtenden Folien. Und wenn Du nach kleinen (grosse interessieren mich als Investor nicht) börsennotierten Firmen suchst, die sich mit dieser Technik befassen, ist die Auswahl immer noch sehr klein. Das Konzept von UDC (R&D, Patente, Einnahmen über Lizenzen), das offensichtlich schon fortgeschrittene Stadium und das enorme Potenzial haben mich überzeugt. Abgesehen davon, daß OLEDs sozusagen die natürliche Ergänzung zu "unseren" ersehnten Plastikcomputern sind ... ;-)

      Neuer OLED-Prototyp von Toshiba schafft 260.000 Farben

      Mobiltelefon- und PDA-Displays voraussichtlich im April 2002 marktreif

      Die Entwicklung marktreifer "Organischer Licht-Emittierender Displays" (OLED), die im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen TFT-Displays selbstleuchtend sind und keine Hintergrundbeleuchtung benötigen, schreitet stetig voran. Nun hat auch Toshiba einen technischen Durchbruch zu vermelden - ein neuer OLED-Prototyp soll erstmals 260.000 Farben bzw. 64 Graustufen (6 Bit) gleichzeitig darstellen können.

      Toshibas neuer OLED-Prototyp hat eine Bildschirmdiagonale von 2,85 Zoll (bzw. 7,239 cm) und eine Auflösung von 144 x 176 Bildpunkten, die dem QCIF-Videotelefonie-Format entspricht. Die einzelnen Bildpunkte sind dabei 0,318 x 0,318 mm groß, was 80 Bildpunkten pro Zoll (dpi) entspricht.

      Der Prototyp basiert auf einem lichtemittierenden Polymer-Film, der auf eine "Low Temperature Polysilicon"-Thin-Film-Transistor-(TFT-)Struktur aufgebracht wurde. OLED-typisch sorgt eine selbstleuchtende Diode in den Bildpunkten dafür, dass keine stromfressende Extra-Beleuchtung hinter das TFT gepackt werden muss. Damit sollen besonders stromsparende und leichte Displays möglich werden - ideal für mobile Anwendungen, was auch die Abmaße und QCIF-Kompatibilität des Prototyps erklärt.

      Weitere Vorteile von OLEDs sollen ein weiter Betrachtungswinkel sowie eine schnelle Aktualisierung der Inhalte sein. Letzteres ist für die Darstellung von Filmen vonnöten, damit diese klar und ohne Verwischen wiedergegeben werden.

      Alle derzeit angebotenen OLEDs sind laut Toshiba einfarbig oder in begrenzten Abschnitten farbfähig. Zudem würden sie kleine Moleküle in der selbstleuchtenden organischen Schicht anstelle von Polymeren nutzen und vakuumgetrocknet werden müssen, was eine industrielle Fertigung nur in kleinen Abmaßen ermögliche. Toshiba setzt deswegen auf die Entwicklung eines Verfahrens zum Aufdrucken des Polymer-Films, das dem Tintenstrahldruck ähnelt.

      Toshiba erwartet, dass seine farbfähigen OLEDs für Mobiltelefone und PDAs im April 2002 marktreif sind. Später sollen größere Displays, unter anderem für High-End-Notebooks folgen und mehr als 64 Graustufen möglich werden.

      Eine Gefahr sehe ich nicht, denn klar war ja von Anfang an, daß PANL nicht exkusiv auf dem Gebiet OLED tätig ist. Für mich als Aktionäer ist vor allem interessant, daß PANL eine ganze Reihe wichtiger Patente hält und sich mit Spezialitäten wie TOLED (transparent) beschäftigt. Warum sonst sollte ein Konzern wie Sony mit PANL zusammen arbeiten wollen? Und wie schon mal in diesem Thread gesagt: Bei den Grossen wird sich der kommerzielle Durchbruch der OLEDs nicht grossartig auf den Kurs auswirken, bei kleineren Nischen- und Forschungsfirmen um so mehr.

      Press Release
      SOURCE: eMagin Corporation

      eMagin Showcases Power-Efficient Full-Color OLED-On-Silicon Microdisplays for High-Performance Consumer Electronics.

      SAN JOSE, Calif., June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- eMagin Corporation (Amex: EMA - news), the leader in OLED-on-Silicon microdisplay technology, will showcase its first commercially available full-color active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED) SVGA+ microdisplay in Booth numbers 1609-1612 at the Society for Information Display (SID) 2001 International Symposium being held at the San Jose Convention Center through June 8. eMagin`s OLED microdisplays, which create virtual images similar to full size computer monitors or large screen television, will be demonstrated in a variety of potential consumer applications ranging from electronic gaming and DVD video to mobile telecommunications devices.

      Demonstrations being exhibited include:
      -- A lightweight binocular headset connected to a Sony PlayStation2 (TM) console, providing a realistic "big screen" gaming as well as in-theater DVD experience
      -- A cell-phone concept demonstrating that full web pages can be comfortably viewed in an innovative and sleek package
      -- A wrist-worn computer watch display jointly developed by IBM and eMagin that delivers crisp and bright images in a small Bluetooth-enabled format
      -- Virtual Vision`s eGlass II (TM) monocular headset aimed at the emerging wearable market and using Tangis Corporation`s voice enabled operating system

      The SVGA+ microdisplay, designed for consumer applications, contains more than 1.5 million individually addressable picture elements (600 x 3 x 852 pixels) and is capable of exhibiting up to 16 million colors. Key advantages include low power (less than 0.3 watt showing full-color, full-video), high luminance, lighter weight, easy integration with optics, and capability for integration on silicon ICs to provide system-on-a-chip capability. Properly interfaced, the display will support either PC or consumer video applications requiring minimal system power. At the same time, it provides high- resolution, high-speed, flicker-free video that can be coupled with inexpensive optics to create a large field of view (similar to the experience of viewing an 82 inch screen at 12 feet) with easy-to-view images that are easy to capture over a wide range of eye positions due to the OLED`s unique wide angle light emission.

      In late April 2001, eMagin began accepting orders for its new SVGA+ Developer`s Kit, containing the world`s first full-color OLED-on-silicon microdisplay available for sale to commercial manufacturers for use as a computer or video display. The SVGA+ Developer`s Kit, targeted at near-eye video and data applications, is available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) designing viewers for mobile information products such as portable computers, wireless Internet viewers, portable DVD players, gaming platforms, and wearable computers. The kit consists of a color SVGA+ resolution microdisplay and associated components required for OEMs to use to improve existing products and to create entirely new products.

      Hallo ich habe gerade einen Bericht vom 09.06 in heise online zum Thema Plastik Displays gefunden

      Dünn, leicht, billig: Displays aus Plastik

      Organische Displays waren die Stars der Show auf der "CeBIT der Displayindustrie", der SID 2001, die gestern in San Jose zu Ende ging. Etliche Hersteller mit Rang und Namen präsentierten die Leuchtanzeigen teils "pur", teils in Handys, Videobrillen oder Flachbidschirmen eingebaut. Zwei recht unterschiedliche Techniken bestimmen die Szene: Auf der einen Seite die von Kodak entwickelten Small Molecule OLEDs, auf der anderen die von Cambridge Display Technology entwickelten Polymer-LEDs, die sich sehr billig fertigen lassen.

      Zu den Herstellern von OLED-Displays zählen eMagin, Sanyo, Sony, Tohoku Pioneer und UDC. Tohoku Pioneer setzt seine organischen Displays bereits seit 1999 in Autoradios ein, seit 2000 findet man sie auch in einem Timeport-Handy von Motorola.

      Im Februar gründete Pioneer zusammen mit Sharp und SEL (Semiconductor Energy Laboratoy) das Joint Venture ELDis. Der Dreierverbund will TFT-Substrate in Sharps Continious Grain Silicon-Technik (CGS) für organische Displays mit Aktivmatrix-Ansteuerung herstellen und vermarkten. CGS hat eine sehr hohe Elektronenbeweglichkeit; das Substrat kann deshalb neben den Pixeltransistoren die Treiberlogik und weitere Displayelektronik aufnehmen.

      Auf der SID zeigt Pioneer ein erstes ELDis-Resultat: Das dreizöllige Aktivmatrix-OLED in CGS-Technik stellt auf 5,4 x 5,4 Zentimeter vollfarbige Bilder mit einer Auflösung von 320 x 320 Bildpunkten dar; die Pixel haben eine Kantenlänge von nur 0,168 Millimeter. Mit wenig mehr als zwei Millimetern ist das Display verblüffend dünn.

      Sony erregte Aufsehen mit einem 13-Zoll-OLED. Das unter der Bezeichnung "Organic EL" laufende Display zeigt 800 x 600 Bildpunkte mit einer Kantenlänge von 0,33 Millimeter (zum Vergleich: bei 15-zölligen LCD beträgt die Pixelgröße 0,3 Millimeter). Es leuchtet laut Sony mit 300 cd/m2 und weist einen Kontrast von 200:1 auf. In Konkurrenz zu dieser Technik zeigte Sony aber auch ein 13,2-zölliges Feldemissionsdisplay (FED) gleicher Auflösung, das durch sehr hohe Leuchtdichte (800 cd/m2), sehr hohen Kontrast von 800:1 und ausgezeichnete Farbsättigung besticht.

      eMagin nutzt die OLED-Technik von Kodak in hochauflösenden Mikrodisplays. Die Firma bringt die organische Leuchtschicht direkt auf einkristalline Siliziumchips auf. Jedes Pixel auf der 12,8 x 9 Millimeter kleinen Displayfläche hat eine Kantenlänge von 0,015 Millimetern. Mit seiner Auflösung von 852 x 600 Bildpunkten (SVGA+) kann das Display PC-kompatibles VGA anzeigen, aber auch das HDTV-kompatible 16:9-Format. eMagin hatte zwei Displays in eine EyeTrek-Brille von Olympus eingebaut. Angeschlossen an die Playstation 2 überzeugte die so ausgestattete Videobrille durch leuchtende Farben und extrem kurze Schaltzeiten. Die Massenproduktion der organischen Mikrodisplays soll Ende des Jahres in Hopewell Junction starten, Entwicklungskits mit OLED-Display und Ansteuerlogik sind ab sofort für 6500 Dollar zu haben.

      Die Alternative zu organischen Leuchtanzeigen aus so genannten Small Molecules sind die von Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) entwickelten Polymer-LEDs. Die Bildqualität hinkt derzeit etwas hinterher, doch erhofft man sich von Light Emitting Polymers (LEP) deutlich geringere Fertigungskosten. Während die organischen Leuchtstoffe der SMOLEDs im Vakuum auf das Substrat aufgedampft werden müssen, kann man das organische Material der LEPs in Flüssigkeit auflösen und anschließend wahlweise per Spin Coating – also durch Auftröpfeln auf die schnell drehende Substratfläche – oder im Inkjet-Druckverfahren aufbringen.

      Toshiba überraschte die Branche mit der Präsentation eines vollfarbigen Polymerdisplays. Der Newcomer im Bereich der Plastikanzeigen druckt sein LEP (Light Emitting Polymer) auf ein TFT-Substrat aus Low Temperature Polysilizium (LTPS). Das 2,85-zöllige Display unterstützt 260.000 Farben und 64 Graustufen. Auch wenn das gezeigte Display noch etwas blass wirkte, markiert es doch die Position von Toshiba im LEP-Business. Die Firma will organische Displays bereits im April 2002 in Serie produzieren.

      Epson zeigte ebenfalls ein vollfarbiges 2,8-Zoll-LEP-Display mit 250 x 150 Pixel und 64 Graustufen, das im Inkjet-Verfahren auf Polysilizium hergestellt wurde. Als Dritter im Bunde führte Philips auf der SID "gedruckte" LEP-Displays vor.

      Vor kurzem hat auch ein deutsches Unternehmen von CDT die Lizenz zur LEP-Fertigung erworben: Osram Semiconductor, ein Gemeinschaftsuntenehmen von Osram und Infineon, will kleine LEP-Displays zum Einbau in Handys und Autos herstellen. Die Firma besitzt bereits eine Pilotanlage in San Jose und will noch dieses Jahr eine LEP-Fab in Penang, Malaysia, in Betrieb nehmen.

      Der Markt der organischen Leuchtanzeigen wird nach Ansicht des Marktforschungsinstituts DisplaySearch von 24 Millionen Dollar im Jahr 2000 auf 3,3 Milliarden Dollar im Jahr 2005 anwachsen. Eine konservativere Schätzung liefert Mitbewerber Stanford Ressources, nämlich 1,6 Milliarden Dollar im Jahr 2007, erwartet aber für dieses Jahr bereits ein Wachstum auf 84 Millionen Dollar. Die Hauptanwendungen für organische Displays sieht Stanford Resources bei den mobile Appliances und im Automobilsektor. (uk)/ (cp/c`t)

      da ist mächtig leben bei den Entwicklungabteilungen der ganzen Displayindustrie.

      Auch die Fondsbranche entdeckt Universal Display!

      Im VMR Fund USA Value (WKN 939931) ist UDC als zehntstärkster
      Wert vertreten.
      Der Fonds ist derzeit im Gespräch weil er im Jahr 2001 die beste
      Performance unter Aktienfonds mit Schwerpunkt Nordamerika erreicht
      hat (+34,10 % per 11.05.01).
      Investitionskriterien für den Fonds sind:
      -starke Wettbewerbsposition des Unternehmens im Markt
      -ausreichend Cash oder Cash Flow
      -krisenerfahrenes Management
      -Erfolgsbeteiligung des Managements
      -Wert der Unternehmensanteile liegt über dem Aktienkurs
      -keine Überschuldung.

      Dies heisst aber leider nicht, dass diese Bedingungen bei UDC
      unbedingt gegeben sein müssen. Nach meinen Erfahrungen halten
      sich die Fondsmanager nicht immer strikt an die eigenen Vorgaben.

      Der Fonds ist kein spezieller Branchenfonds sondern setzt auf
      "solide aber unterbewertete amerikanische Unternehmen".
      Die Auswahl der anderen Werte ist m.E. höchstens teilweise
      interessant: 1. Iomega, 2. Xerox, 3. 3com, 4. Lucent, 5. Silicom
      Graphics, 6. WorldCom, 7. Novell, 8. Cisco, 9. Hasbro.
      Na ja, immerhin kann es UDC sicherlich nicht schaden in der
      Finanzbranche ein bißchen bekannter zu werden!

      Hi,
      hier ein Artikel aus der FTD vom 14.6.2001 (www.ftd.de/wissenschaft). Was die Plastikchips anbelangt, erwarte ich als Opticom-Aktionär natürlich wesentlich spektakuläreres als "schlaue Etiketten" ;-)
      Gruß,
      Mo

      Schlaue Etiketten, rollbare Displays
      Von Frank Grotelüschen, Hamburg

      Kunststoffe halten Einzug in die Elektronik und erlauben das Design robuster und biegsamer Bauteile.

      Seinen Gästen zeigt Alan Heeger gern ein Fläschchen, gefüllt mit einer unscheinbaren Flüssigkeit. "Diese Lösung enthält einen Kunststoff mit den Eigenschaften eines Halbleiters", erklärt der Kalifornier dann. "Können Sie
      sich vorstellen, Silizium in einer Flüssigkeit aufzulösen? Nein, natürlich nicht!"

      Der Forscherstolz ist berechtigt: 1976 hatte Heeger gemeinsam mit seinen Kollegen Alan MacDiarmid und Hideki Shirakawa ein merkwürdiges Polymer entdeckt - einen Kunststoff, der elektrischen Strom leitet statt wie üblich als Isolator zu wirken. Im Dezember 2000 wurde den drei Wissenschaftlern dafür der Chemienobelpreis verliehen.

      Kommerzielle Früchte

      Mit ihrer Entdeckung erschlossen Heeger und Co das neue Forschungsfeld der leitenden und halbleitenden Polymere. Nun trägt es erste kommerzielle Früchte. Gerade für die Display-Technik gelten die Halbleiter aus Plastik als
      aussichtsreiche Kandidaten. "Einerseits haben diese Polymere die Eigenschaften von Halbleitern, andererseits lassen sie sich ebenso leicht und preiswert herstellen wie andere Kunststoffe", schwärmt Heeger. "Im Prinzip
      kann man sie zu biegsamen Folien verarbeiten, sodass Flachbildschirme zum Aufrollen denkbar sind."

      Chemische Tricks

      Doch wie macht man Plastik leitend? Herkömmliche Polymere bestehen aus Kohlenstoffketten, in denen jede Bindung zwischen den Kohlenstoffatomen chemisch gesättigt ist. Bei leitenden Kunststoffen hingegen wechseln sich Einfach- und Doppelbindungen ab, wodurch so genannte ungesättigte
      Bindungen entstehen. Mischt man dann noch bestimmte Substanzen hinzu, treten einzelne Kunststoffmoleküle Elektronen an das Kollektiv der Polymerkette ab. Diese frei gewordenen Elektronen leiten den Strom.

      Für die Bildschirmtechnik wurden die neuen Kunststoffe interessant, als Forscher der Universität Cambridge vor zehn Jahren erstmals Leuchtdioden aus ihnen bauen konnten, so genannte OLEDs (Organische LEDs). Sie bestehen aus dünnen, wenige Zehntausendstel Millimeter messenden
      Polymer-Folien, die zwischen zwei Elektroden eingeschlossen sind, von denen eine durchsichtig ist. Eine Spannung von zwei Volt genügt, um dem Plastik Licht zu entlocken. Durch die transparente Elektrode dringt das Licht nach außen.

      Die Vorteile gegenüber der vorherrschenden Flüssigkristall-Technik (LCD):
      Plastikleuchtdioden sind kostengünstiger, leichter und verbrauchen weniger Energie. Zudem erlauben sie einen größeren Blickwinkel als ein LCD-Monitor.
      Probleme gab es bis vor kurzem jedoch mit der Haltbarkeit. "Das war die entscheidende Herausforderung", sagt Uli Lemmer, Physiker an der Universität München. "Doch mittlerweile lassen sich Betriebsdauern von mehr als 40.000 Stunden erreichen." Verantwortlich für den Erfolg sei unter
      anderem, dass man die Polymere heute weitaus reiner herstellen könne als noch vor wenigen Jahren.

      Eingerollte Displays

      Eingebaut werden die OLEDs bereits in das Display eines
      Auto-Navigationssystems sowie in ein Handy. Hier kann es - im Gegensatz zu einer LCD-Anzeige - beim Herunterfallen nicht zerbrechen. In einigen Jahren sollen die Polymer-LEDs dann auch in der Computerwelt Einzug halten, unter anderem als zusammenrollbare Bildschirme für tragbare Rechner oder in die kommende Generation der UMTS-Handys. Eingerollt würde das Display kaum Platz brauchen, ausgerollt hingegen eine Bildschirmfläche hergeben, mit der auch das Surfen im Internet Spaß macht.

      Doch ein Flachmonitor besteht nicht nur aus Millionen von einzelnen, leuchtenden Bildpunkten, sondern aus ebensovielen Transistoren, die diese ansteuern. Für einen biegsamen Bildschirm benötigt man auch biegsame Transistoren. Mit dem klassischen Transistorgrundstoff Silizium aber, lässt sich eine flexible Steuerelektronik nicht realisieren.

      Bislang schillern die Kunststoff-Displays auch noch lediglich einfarbig. Um ein buntes Bild zu erzeugen, wollen die Forscher drei verschiedene Polymere verwenden, die in den Grundfarben rot, grün und blau leuchten. Sie müssen
      zu einem gleichmäßigen Areal von Bildpunkten angeordnet sein, um jedes dieser Pixel gezielt ansteuern zu können. Mit der Marktreife der Farbdisplays rechnen die Experten in zwei bis drei Jahren.

      Massenmarkt für Plastikchips

      Dann dürfte es auch eine andere Anwendung der Billigelektronik zu kaufen geben - "intelligente" Preisschilder, die den heutigen Barcode ersetzen. "Man
      fährt mit seinem Einkaufswagen durch eine Schleuse, und alle Produkte funken ihre Artikelnummer und ihren Preis durch", sagt Stefan Zilker, Physiker beim niederländischen Philips-Konzern. Kassiererinnen werden dann überflüssig.

      "Die Forschungsfrage ist nahezu gelöst, jetzt stecken wir mitten in der Entwicklung", so Zilker. "Dabei geht es vor allem um die großtechnische Herstellung." In der Massenfertigung dürfe so ein Plastikchip höchstens 10
      Pfennig kosten. "Wir hoffen, innerhalb der nächsten zwei Jahre ein Produkt auf den Markt zu bringen."

      Auch als intelligenter Kofferaufkleber eignet sich das elektronische Etikett, etwa für die Gepäckabfertigung in Flughäfen oder als Adresszettel für Paketdienste. Denn pro Tag werden rund 100 Millionen Pakete verschickt und
      für die Bewältigung dieser Flut wird eine schnellere und intelligentere Abwicklung dringend gebraucht.

      Universal Display Corporation Announces DARPA Program Funding for Flexible OLED Displays Increased to $3 Million

      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2001--Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL; PHLX: PNL), a leading developer of flat panel display technology, announced today that it has been awarded an additional $1.5 million for its existing Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract. The total contract now equals approximately $3 Million for the 18 month Program.

      The expanded program will focus on further development of UDC`s flexible organic light emitting device (FOLED(TM)) flat panel display technology. OLED technology is widely considered to be the future technology of choice for displays because it has the potential to make them flexible and conformable for different product applications. DARPA is funding $1.6 million and the remaining $1.4 million is `cost share` from the participants.

      ``We`re very pleased that our team has received this additional award from DARPA,`` said Steven V. Abramson, President of UDC. ``Flexible flat panel displays can have a tremendous impact on the flat panel market, because of their light weight, conformability and potential for continuous web based manufacturing and provide new products and applications for military and commercial markets.``

      UDC`s Program Team includes its long-standing partners at Princeton University and the University of Southern California, as well as, Vitex Systems, a subsidiary of Battelle Memorial Institute, of Columbus, Ohio and L-3 Communications Display Systems, of Alpharetta, Georgia. UDC has a fundamental proprietary position in flexible, high efficiency, small molecule OLED displays, and has worked with Princeton and USC since 1994 in developing OLED technologies. Vitex/Battelle has developed a barrier layer technology, which may accelerate the fabrication of long-lived flexible displays. L-3 Communications has been characterizing, assembling and delivering advanced technology systems to military markets for decades. All four organizations will be involved in the DARPA initiative with project direction and management based at UDC.

      na wunderbar, du promovierst auf dieser Thematik ? Trete ich dir zu nahe, wenn ich etwas mehr Details hierzu von dir wissen möchte ?

      a) Chemie oder Ingenieurwesen ?
      b) Grundlagenforschung oder anwendungsorientiert ?
      c) Homepage (falls Forschungsgruppe ..) ?

      Insbesondere treibt mich in letzter Zeit der Horror um, dass es den PLED-Leuten (z.B. CDT) zu früh gelingen könnte, mit leistungsfähigen, und vor allem, günstigen Produkten an den Markt zu gehen. Meines Wissens nach soll die PLED-Seite den Vorteil haben, dass die Displayherstellung "aus der Polymerlösung" möglich ist (inkjet, spin-coating, stamping etc) Die (SM)OLED-Seite braucht ja da doch eher schon wieder Class A sputter Technik und Bedingungen, wie man sie sich im schönsten (teuren) Reinraum wünscht.

      Dabei fällt mir ein, hast du schon mal ins Opticom-Forum hier auf WO geschaut ? Evtl interessiert dich die Technik ja auch ... ehrlich gesagt, ich würde mich stark wundern, wenn nicht !

Der Kurs ist natürlich ein Witz, emagin wurde mit ca. 6 emittiert, aber wie alle R&D-Firmen haben sie im Moment einen besonders schweren Stand, da sie (noch) keinen nennenswerten Umsatz machen, womit auch Deine 2.

      @opc2000

      Zu mir: Ich bin Ingenieur, arbeite aber mehr als
      "Experimentalphysiker". Stelle selbst O und
      PLEDs her, die aber nicht an die Performance
      von Hightecfirmen heranreichen. Arbeite selbst
      eher grundlagenorientiert aber keinesfalls anwendungsfern.

      PLEDs weisen meiner Meinung nach zwei entscheidende
      Vorteile auf.

      1. Es handelt sich hier nur um ein sogenanntes Einschichtsystem.
      Aufbau ist: Glas als Grundsubstrat, darauf ITO (das ist
      ein transparentes Metall), dann kommt ein leitfähiges
      Polymer (PEDT oder PANI, erhöht die Lebensdauer und erniedrigt Einsatzspannung der Dinger gewaltig),
      dann das aktive Material (der Polymere Halbleiter)und zum Schluß
      die Kathode (ein Metall).

      Bei OLEDs aus kleinen Molekülen (SM) sind viele aktive Schichten
      aufeinander was den Herstellungeprozeß erschwert.Zumal noch
      Schichten oft mit Farbstoffen dotiert werden.

      2. Sie lassen sich leichter, also billiger, herstellen.

      Spincoating ist am ethabliertesten (Tropfen Lösung auf ein drehendes Substrat)

      Injektprinting ist schwer im kommen.
      Das tolle daran ist, dass man die einzelnen Pixel gleich herstellen kann,
      ohne einen Strukturierungsprozeß.

      Bei SM wird durch eine Maske bedampft (sputtern ist nicht
      die Technik, SM werden einfach nur langsam im Hochvakuum
      aufgeheizt). Was die Pixellierung erleichtert. Beim Spincoating
      beschichtet man immer das ganze Substrat.

      Aber ohne Hightech kommt man bei Polymeren auch nicht
      aus. Alles geschieht in Reinräumen und in Handschuhboxen
      die mit Inertgas gefüllt sind.

      Es gibt übrigen schon SM Produkte:

      Ich weiss von einem Motorla-Handy

      http://commerce.motorola.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDispl…

      und von einer ganzen Serie Autoradios von Pioneer

      http://www.pioneer.de/default_fs.asp?PRBE=C&COID=14

      Die besten Polymere kommen übrigens zum Teil aus Deutschland.
      www.Covion.de (PPVs)
      aber DOW ist auch stark im Geschäft mit ihren
      Polyfluorenen

      Ich glaube, dass für beide Technologien ein Markt da ist,
      wenn die Lebensdauer der Bauteile und die Faben (rot und blau)völlig
      im Griff sind. - LCDs sind aber leider schon viel weiter in der
      Entwicklung und ein harter Konkurent im Displaymarkt.

      Ich tippe/hoffe:
      Die Polymere werden sich bei den billigen Anwendungen durchsetzen.
      z.B. Handydisplays, ,.. halt kleine Displays die keine zu
      hohe Auflösung und Langzeitstabilität benötigen.
      Auch bei Transistoren, also Chips werden sich die Polymer
      durchsetzen.

      Die SM werden das Rennen bei hochauflösenden Displays und
      Anwendungen mit höherer Temperaturbelastbarkeit machen.Vielleicht
      auch bei Chips mit kleineren Strukturen.


      Die Hompages und das Opticom Forum werde ich mir mal in Ruhe anschauen!

      Das Problem bei den OLEDs liegt doch in der Farbe blau,
      Sony hat auf der SID 2 Displays vorgestellt eines mit OLED-Technologiem, das andere mit FED (Field emission technologie) ich persönlich gebe der FED mehr geltung da OLEDs nur im Prototypenbereich existieren ! FED`s erlangen zumindest im Monochrome Bereich (PIXTECH )massenproduktionsstatus; auch hat Pixtech heuer im April ein 7" FED-Color Produkt gezeigt, welches im Jahr 200/2003 in Massenproduktion geht. Die Zukunft liegt meiner Meinung nach im Vakuum Produktionsstatus !

      OLEDs werden zur Zeit in der Presse hochgejubelt , haben aber mit ähnlichen Problemen zu kämpfen die bei FED`s bereits gelöst sind, nur glaubt man an FED`s nicht mehr , aber schaut man sich in den Forschungslabors um, wird vehement an FEDs geforscht (Samsung , KIST Korea Institute of Technologie, Sony, ....)
      selbst in China existieren Projekte mein Favorit ist Pixtech , bei OLEDs würde ich eher ThreeFive-Systems bevorzugen !

      die OLEDS werden zur Zeit in der Presse hochgelobt, aber bei den FED`s anfang 1995 war es genauso, FEDs (Field Emission Displays) aufgebaut wie die herkömmliche CRT nur als Flachtechnologie !
      FED`s werden durch die Fa. Pixtech , welcher der Leader auf diesem Gebiet ist produziert und vermarktet;
      OLEDS haben insbesondere mit der Reinheit der Stoffe, der farbe blau, der Haltbarkeit bei höherer Helligkeit usw. zu kämpfen, die bei den FEDs bereits durch Pixtech im Griff sind !
      Pixtech hat auf der SID im April ein 7" Color FED vorgestellt, das in einer Rekordzeit von ca. 1.5 Jahr im Rahmen eines EU-Projektes mit Audi entwickelt und geliefert, welches ab 2002 in die Massenproduktion geht !
      derweil haben sie die monochrome Produktion in Taiwan im Griff und es finden sich immer mehr interessenten für Ihre Displays mit überzeugenden Produkteigenschaften !

      bei OLEDS würde ich ThreeFive -. Systems bevorzugen, aber Pixtech glaube ich steht kurz vor dem durchbruch und der Kurs steht bei 0,50 Cent und ist zu Unrecht verprügelt worden, die waren bei Bekanntgabe des Audi - Deals schon mal bei 10 Euro !
      meine vorliebe liegt im Vakuum und deshalb bei Pixtech !

      1. Gibt es auch schon OLED-Massenproduktionen (s. o.)
      2. FEDs sind einfach zu teuer herzustellen.Haben
      meiner Meinung nach nur eine Chance bei großen Bildschirmen.

      3. Blau ist bei Polymeren (PLED) ein Problem nicht bei
      kleinen Molekülen (OLED)

      Die Reinheit der Substanzen ist nicht das Problem,
      sondern die Kapselung!O/PLEDs sind organische Moleküle,
      die ständig oxidiert und reduziert werden. Das macht die
      Dinger reaktiv!Ist Wasser oder Sauerstoff in der Nähe
      gehen die Dinger kaputt.

      Ausserdem ist fast jede Firma die im entferntesten
      etwas mit Displays zu Tun hat im Geschäft.

      Philips, Samsung, LG Electronic, IBM, Motorola, Epson, Sony...

      + kleine Firmen: Uniax, CDT, Covion, Emagin, PANl,.....

      Du hast wohl bei Pixtech zu viel Geld gelassen..??

      Erfreulich, daß der Thread mal wieder etwas auflebt. Ich steuere 3 links bei, die Site von Wright Research ist übrigens allgemein zu empfehlen, man bekommt dort sehr übersichtliche Firmenportraits mit Kurzanalysen usw. und kann eine Firma mit drei frei wählbaren Konkurrenten vergleichen, siehe mein dritter link.

      EMA: http://profiles.wisi.com/profiles/scripts/corpinfo.asp?cusip…

      PANL: http://profiles.wisi.com/profiles/scripts/corpinfo.asp?cusip…

      Vergleich EMA mit PANL, PIXT und TFS:
      http://profiles.wisi.com/profiles/scripts/corpinfo2.asp?cusi…

      HansH, damit müsstest Du Deine Fragen eigentlich beantworten können. Ich würde bei einer Investionsentscheidung PANL den Vorrang geben. Sie haben mehr wichtige Patente, eine 5 mal höhere Marktkapitalisierung und ein breiteres Produktspektrum. EMA sehe ich eher als eine Nischenfirma spezialisiert auf "near eye displays", allerdings auch mit erheblichem Pozenzial.

      Thema FED: Wir haben dazu ja schon einigen Informationsaustausch weiter unten im Thread gehabt. Nicht vergessen sollte man dabei die Frage nach der längerfristigen Zukunft, denn hier liegt die Polymertechnik doch ganz klar vorn. (+billig +biegsam +robust +transparent +stromsparend +...)
      Ich kann mir FED in einigen Anwendungsbereichen als Zwischenlösung vorstellen, weil sie eigentlich schon marktreif sind. Darum war ich auch mal in Pixtech investiert, bin aber mit einem blauen Auge noch halbwegs rechtzeitig rausgekommen. Ich hätte jedenfalls nichts dagegen, wenn die FED-Technik noch mal kurz. ;) an den Markt kommt, bevor die lange Entwicklungsarbeit durch überlegene Polymertechnik zu Makulatur wird.

      @HansH, was meinst Du mit "LCDs sind die Herausforderung"? LCD ist doch keine Technik mit Zukunft, es ist genau die, die es abzulösen gilt. Natürlich sind LCDs weit entwickelt, kein Wunder, sie sind ja sozusagen im Endstadium. Aber sie werden nie robust, flexibel und preiswert werden, abgesehen davon, daß es sich um eine "passive" Displaytechnik mit den bekannten Nachteilen (Blickwinkel...) handelt.

      @Stockguru, da hast Du wohl den Chart von PANL mit dem von PIXT verwechselt (der geht tatsächlich dauernd runter)

      "passiv" ist die Ansteuerung der meisten Lc-Displays
      in Handies, aber auch der ersten OLEDs

      Es gibt genügend aktiv matrix Displays.
      Die sogenannten TFT Monitore auf LCD Basis.
      Hier kann jeder Pixel parallel über einen
      Transistor angesteuert werden.

      Der Vorteil der OLED liegt in der Fähigkeit
      selbst zu Leuchten und keine Hintergrundbeleuchtung wie LCDs
      benötigen. LC sind bessere Lichtschalter sonst nix!

      Preiswert, flexibel und Transparenz sind ebenso Vorteile von OLEDs.
      Aber momentan Trauen sich einige Firmen nicht ein Produkt auf den
      Markt zu schmeißen, das nicht so gut ist, wie ein LCD Display.

      Bei einigen großen Firmen laufen schon Produktstrassen!

      Hallo HansH,
      ist schon klar - es ging mir nicht um die Ansteuerung sondern um die Darstellungsart, und da unterscheidet man in der Displaytechnik ebenfalls zwischen aktiv (selbst leuchtend wie Röhre oder OLED) und passiv (LCDs mit Tageslicht oder Hintergrundbeleuchtung). Ansonsten teile ich Deine Einschätzung, was die Produkt-Reihenfolge beim Markteintritt betrifft. So stellt UDC sich das auch vor (siehe homepage).

      Alle wichtigen Basispantente SM-OLED sind von
      KODAK. (Author:"Tang")

      An stacked OLED glaube ich nicht!
      Und die meisten Pantente von PANL sind auch nicht
      "so" toll!

      Emagin hat heute übrigens neues zu verkündigen!

      San Diego, CA and Hopewell Junction, N.Y., July 30, 2001 - eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), the leader in organic light emitting diode (OLED) on silicon display technology, today announced the ability to create OLED video displays with a balanced full-color spectrum exceeding that of the best commercially available liquid crystal display (LCD) notebook displays. The broader color spectrum OLED microdisplay incorporated in a prototype binocular entertainment headset will be demonstrated today between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at SPIE`s International Symposium on Optical Science and Technology underway at the San Diego Convention Center.

      By creating a balanced full-color spectrum, including white, eMagin`s OLED microdisplay-based systems provide customers with fuller and deeper color ranges than obtainable with other portable products. Coupled with eMagin`s unique precision gray level control and color memory at each pixel, the company`s displays will provide users with exceptional video quality and performance for mobile information products such as portable computers, wireless Internet viewers, portable DVD players, gaming platforms, and wearable computers.

Kodak-Aktien kaufen? No me! Ich denke, daß der Kuchen so gross ist, daß sich auch einige Nischenplayer davon dick & rund fressen können. Und was die Zahl der börsennotierten kleineren Firmen betrifft, hat man ja kaum die Qual der Wahl, oder weiss jemand von Firmen, die hier noch nicht angesprochen wurden?

      Universal Display Reports New Red Phosphorescent OLED Materials With Significant Power Efficiency Advances

      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2001--Dr. Raymond Kwong, a senior scientist at Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL; PHLX:PNL), a leading developer of flat panel display technology, reported, in a late news paper entitled ``Extremely Efficient Red Electrophosphorescent Devices`` at the 21st International Display Research Conference held October 16th through October 19th in Nagoya, Japan, that it has developed new red phosphorescent materials that are up to five times more power efficient than conventional fluorescent materials in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) for full-color displays.

      These results are further evidence of the advantages of the phosphorescent materials system that it is developing with its research partners at the University of Southern California and Princeton University and with its materials development and supply partner, PPG Industries, Inc.

      Dr. Kwong reported on a new class of organometallic complexes as red phosphorescent dopants for full-color OLED displays. These red materials and the OLED architectures into which they are incorporated represent a key advance in the development of the Company`s full-color materials system that the Company refers to as ``PHOLED(TM)`` technology.

      This new class of red PHOLEDs exhibits luminous efficiencies that are up to five times greater than today`s highest-reported results for red fluorescent OLEDs. In addition, these materials offer excellent red color performance. In his paper, Dr. Kwong cited a range of new, ultra-high efficiency, red PHOLEDs that achieve 11 candelas/amp (cd/A) for true red (CIE=0.65, 0.35) to 28 cd/A for orange-red (CIE=0.60, 0.40).

      ``Because one of the key limitations of the power dissipation of a full-color OLED display is the efficiency of the red component, this advance is particularly significant,`` states Steven V. Abramson, the Company`s President. ``This breakthrough should enable full-color OLED displays to have significantly reduced power consumption compared to fluorescent-based OLEDs as well as today`s backlit liquid crystal displays. This power savings will translate into longer battery life, especially important for mobile display applications,`` he added.

      At another recent conference, Dr. Kwong delivered a paper entitled ``Long Lifetime Electrophosphorescent Devices`` and discussed advances in the performance and lifetimes of UDC`s red- and green-emitting PHOLED(TM) materials for full-color OLED displays.

      eMagin Announces New Era in Stereovision Imaging; SVGA-3D OLED Microdisplay Unveiled at International Conference
      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y. and YOKOHAMA, Japan, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- eMagin Corporation (Amex: EMA - news), the leader in organic light emitting diode (OLED) on silicon display technology, today announced that it will unveil the first prototypes of its new full-color SVGA-3D stereovision microdisplay at the LCD/PDP International 2001 display conference in Yokohama, Japan, October 31, 2001 through November 02, 2001. The new three-dimensional display prototypes will be incorporated into stereovision headsets running PC gaming applications (Booth #564).

      The new SVGA-3D active matrix OLED represents the first time that a true left and right eye stereovision feature has been imbedded directly into a high-resolution display, providing a complete integrated analog interface microdisplay solution with built-in stereovision compatibility. The displays were designed to take advantage of the frame sequential technique used for the highest quality stereovision with a single video source. This technique is implemented on most of NVIDIA`s(TM) family of 3D graphics solutions and is compatible with most PC-based video games.

      ``The new SVGA-3D display provides the very high speed video, low power, analog PC interface, and fully saturated color performance of our SVGA+ display,`` said Gary Jones, president and CEO of eMagin. ``Because the display can be directly inserted into optics and PC interface systems designed for our SVGA+ microdisplay, our customers will be able to rapidly utilize these displays in system designs being built for the SVGA+.`` Mr. Jones will present a talk at the conference on this important new product on Wednesday, October 31 at 3 pm.

      The SVGA-3D display incorporates a dedicated circuit that allows for left eye/right eye detection that, when used in a binocular headset, provides each display with the appropriate information from a single, conventional, PC video cable, eliminating flicker effects observed in previous systems. Because eMagin`s OLED on silicon technology stores all the 16 million colors and imaging information at each pixel, a more realistic high-resolution stereovision effect is obtained.

      The native SVGA format (800 x 600) makes it ideally suited for PC applications from gaming to professional computer-aided design (CAD) to medical diagnostics to military and industrial training and simulation. The new SVGA-3D display can also be used for non-stereo vision imaging and single display viewfinders by simply not sending stereovision encoded data to the displays.


      SVGA-3D OLED Microdisplay Features:

      -- Color 800 (x 3) x 600 pixels microdisplay
      -- Highly Integrated Design: clock recovery, serial interface and
      registers, levels adjustment, drivers and pixel array
      -- VESA compatible Analog R,G,B inputs
      -- Up to 256 gray shades
      -- 2-wire serial control interface
      -- 4:3 image aspect ratio
      -- 15 x 15 micrometers color pixel (Stripe)
      -- 15 mm (0.59 inch) image diagonal
      -- >100 cd/m2 front luminance
      -- Low power consumption: Less than 300 mW at nominal video modes
      -- -35 Degrees C to +70 Degrees C operating temperature

      This display is to be priced in large quantities at consumer OEM compatible levels, and samples are expected to be available for sale in 2002.

      Universal Display and Its Research Partners Receive Key Patent for Power Efficient Phosphorescent `PHOLEDs`
      Advances in Power Efficiency Represent Critical Step Toward Capturing Market Share in Flat Panel Displays
      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2001-- Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL; PHLX:PNL), a leading developer of flat panel display technology, announced today that its research partners, Princeton University and the University of Southern California (USC), have been issued a key patent in the field of OLED (Organic Light Emitting Device) technology.

      The patent, OLEDs Doped with Phosphorescent Compounds, U.S. patent number 6,303,238, grants Universal Display Corporation (UDC) a broad, fundamental position in the use of phosphorescent dopants in OLEDs (PHOLEDs). Phosphorescent dopants are important because they can improve OLED power efficiency, a critical performance parameter in flat panel displays, by up to four times over conventional OLEDs. Universal Display has the exclusive worldwide rights to this patent, which encompasses 63 claims.

      According to the Company, researchers began using fluorescent dopants in OLEDs in the mid-1980s. A few years ago, UDC`s research partners at Princeton University and USC discovered that phosphorescent dopants could be used in OLEDs to provide significant advances in performance, i.e., power efficiency, lifetime, and color tunability. Since that time, UDC and its partners have developed OLEDs using these phosphorescent dopants - demonstrating world-record power efficiencies in all three primary colors. UDC`s proprietary phosphorescent materials can enable its manufacturing partners to produce OLED displays with significant performance advantages over conventional OLEDs as well as over today`s market-dominant liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for products that range from cellular telephones to television monitors.

      According to Steven V. Abramson, President of Universal Display Corporation, ``The importance of power efficiency cannot be underestimated in today`s mobile, battery-powered, and visually-driven products. With our team`s advances, we are building the technology to provide OLED displays with the performance that consumers demand in handheld electronics, laptop computers, and television monitors.``

      To this end, Universal Display Corporation has a joint development agreement with Sony Corporation focused on the television monitor market. More recently, the Company announced a joint development agreement with Samsung SDI for portable displays. Separately, these development agreements seek to integrate UDC`s high-efficiency phosphorescent OLED materials into active matrix OLED displays that each company will manufacture. OLED technology is widely considered to be a transformational technology for flat panel displays. Abramson said, ``Our alliances with two of the world`s leading electronics manufacturers underscores the significance of this technology and signals that this new generation of flat panel display technology is quickly becoming a commercial reality to address the growing markets for electronic displays.``

      aus OnVista: 19.04.2002:

      Den Aktienexperten von "finanzen.net" zufolge ist die Aktie von Universal Display ein sehr spekulatives Investment. (WKN 917585) Universal Display habe sich auf die Entwicklung von OLEDs spezialisiert und über 100 Patente anerkannt.

      Bislang würden OLEDs noch kaum in Produkte eingebaut, da zunächst noch verschiedene Probleme gelöst werden müssten. Längerfristig dürften die Nachteile gegenüber konkurrierenden Technologien wie LCDs aufgeholt werden, wobei dann auch die Stärken des geringen Energieverbrauchs und der kostengünstigen Herstellung zum Tragen kommen sollten.

      Das Unternehmen weise bislang noch deutlich höhere Verluste als Umsätze aus, da das Hauptaugenmerk weiterhin auf Forschung und Entwicklung und nicht auf dem Vertrieb liege. Der Konzern trete mit nur 37 Beschäftigtren gegen finanzkräftige Industrieriesen wie Eastman Kodak, Sharp, Sony, Fujitsu und Du Pont an. Der vermutlich härteste Wettbewerber im OLED-Markt dürfte derzeit Pioneer sein. Pioneer habe schon farbige Displays für die Bereiche Mobiltelefone, Unterhaltungselektronik und Automotive im Angebot. Um in diesem umkämpften Markt überleben zu können, dürften für Universal Display die Qualität der geschaffenen Patentbasis und die weiteren Forschungsresultate von entscheidender Bedeutung sein.

      Möglicherweise könnte der Konzern aufgrund der umfangreichen Patente in den kommenden Monaten zum Übernahmekandidaten werden, wobei hier die Führungsetage von Universal Display noch ein entscheidendes Wort mitzusprechen habe, da sich die Mehrheit der Aktien noch in ihren Händen befinde.

      Sollte es wichtige Fortschritte bei den OLEDs oder strategische Partnerschaften geben, könnte der Kurs rasch darauf reagieren. Impulse könnten dann auch von Seiten der Analysten kommen, die den Titel noch nicht ins Visier genommen hätten. Den Wertpapierexperten von "finanzen.net" zufolge ist die Aktie von Universal Display ein sehr spekulatives Investment.

      (beides läuft unter OLEDs).

      Kodak hat soweit ich weiss die meisten Basispatente für
      Small Molecules und CDT (Cambridge Display T..?)auf Polymere.

      Leider ist die Konkurenz für UDC sehr groß.

      Alle Großen asistatischen Display hersteller sind voll dabei.

      Fast 1 Jahr hat dieser Thread geschlafen, jetzt wecke ich ihn mal wieder auf. Die Kurse von PANL und EMA haben sich gefangen und stabilisiert. Und die Technik kommt voran, wie man hier sehen kann (leider von Kodak):


      http://www.cybertype.de/foto/oled.html
      (06.03.2003/SC) Erste Digitalkamera mit OLED-Display:

      "Kodaks Digitalkamera LS 633 Zoom ist weltweit das erste Consumerprodukt, das mit einem farbigen OLED-Display mit Aktivmatrix arbeitet und das Sucherbild besonders klar, hell und brillant wiedergibt.
      Zum gelungenen Sonntagsausflug gehören blauer Himmel, strahlender Sonnenschein und eine Digitalkamera, mit der man die gute gelaunten Ausflügler fotografieren kann. Leider ist gerade bei Sonnenschein das Sucherbild auf dem kleinen Display kaum zu erkennen, der Fotograf drückt auf den Auslöser, ohne sein Motiv auf dem Minibildschirm kontrollieren zu können.
      Darum hat Kodak eine neue Generation von Displays entwickelt, die auch bei hellem Tageslicht ein brillantes Bild zeigen. Es ist nicht nur heller und klarer, man kann es sogar bis zu einem Blickwinkel von 160 Grad bestens erkennen - ab sofort können deshalb mehrere Personen gleichzeitig die in der Kamera gespeicherten Fotos anschauen. OLEDs bringen jedoch nicht nur ein brillantes Sucherbild aufs Display, sondern verbrauchen auch viel weniger Strom als herkömmliche LCDs, da ihre Bausteine, die organischen Leuchtdioden, selber leuchten und der kleine Bildschirm deshalb keine separate Hintergrundbeleuchtung braucht.
      Kodaks neue Digitalkamera LS633 Zoom ist als erste Digitalkamera mit der von Kodak patentierten und lizenzierten OLED-Technologie (Organic Light Emitting Diode) ausgestattet. Außerdem hat die 450 Euro teure 3-Megapixelkamera den Fotografen ein optisches Dreifachzoom mit einer Brennweite von 37-111 mm zu bieten und arbeitet mit einem hochwertigen Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon-Objektiv."

      Universal Display Corporation Announces First Quarter 2003 Results
      May 13, 2003
      . . .

      Ewing, NJ - Universal Display Corporation (UDC) (NASDAQ:PANL; PHLX: PNL), a leading developer of Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, announced today its unaudited results of operations for the first quarter of 2003.

      Universal Display Corporation had a net loss of $3,868,746 (or $0.18 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared to a net loss of $5,298,809 (or $0.29 per share) for the same quarter in 2002. The decrease in the net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in revenues and a decrease in interest expense.

      Revenues for the first quarter 2003 were $1,180,947 compared to $534,926 for the same quarter in 2002. The Company earned $561,800 from its sales of OLED materials for evaluation purposes in the quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared to $87,843 for the same period in 2002. The increase in this amount is mainly due to an increased volume of OLED materials purchased for evaluation by potential OLED manufacturers, including the Company’s current joint development partners. The Company earned $369,147 in contract research revenue from the U.S. Government in the quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared to $447,083 for the same period in 2002. The Company also recognized $250,000 in technology development revenue in connection with a technology and development evaluation agreement. There were no similar revenues for the same period in 2002.

      Net cash used in operating activities was $2,323,783 for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $1,503,494 for the same period in 2002. The increased use of cash in operating activities is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in cash received and deferred revenue.

      "The Company has continued to accelerate its OLED development program while maintaining a strong balance sheet and carefully managing its cash. Our loss decreased during the first quarter because our revenues more than doubled and expenses decreased resulting from the redemption and conversion of our convertible debentures during the third quarter of 2002, which simplified our capital structure and has eliminated the associated interest expense," said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, CFO and Executive Vice President.

      Tja, schade dass es meistens die Militärs sind, die neue Techniken zu schätzen wissen.

      Übrigens: Der Kurs von EMA hat sich in den letzten Tegen verdoppelt, obwohl die letzten offiziellen News schon nicht mehr ganz frisch sind. (Siehe unten vom 25.8.)

      Ich bin ja kein großer Chartspezialist, aber nach meiner bescheidenen Meinung sieht der von Universal Display sehr vielversprechend aus. Um die 8 Euro scheint eine starke Unterstützung zu sein und nach oben ist reichlich Luft, oder?

      eMagin Granted 2 Key Patents for Lower Power Color OLED Device and New Hermetic Sealing Method
      Monday August 25, 7:31 am ET


      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2003--eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA - News) today announced that the Company has been granted two patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventions which can enhance the energy efficiency and the environmental stability of flat-panel displays.

      The issued patents are entitled "Inorganic-Based Color Conversion Matrix Element For Organic Color Display Devices And Method Of Fabrication," and "Apparatus And Method For Solder-Sealing An Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode."

      The inorganic color conversion matrix (CCM) patent represents a breakthrough innovation by eliminating the need for application of a color filter, similar to those used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and could potentially improve the energy efficiency of light generation by a factor of 3. The new OLED display device described in the patent incorporates an addressable two-dimensional matrix of organic light emitting diodes that emits monochrome light, a CCM element capable of absorbing the monochrome light and re-emitting that light at different wavelengths, and cover element. The CCM pixel can create full-color capable triads of red, green, and blue color by converting blue light and shorter wavelengths into green or red using nanocrystals of color conversion material. The size distribution of the nanocrystals may be precisely controlled to define the capability for color conversion to a particular wavelength of re-emitted light. The innovation is potentially applicable and beneficial to both LCDs and OLEDs, but is expected to provide the highest efficiency when used with OLED microdisplays or larger sized direct-view OLED screens. The assigned U.S. Patent number is 6,608,439.

      The sealing patent describes a new apparatus and method of solder-sealing an active matrix OLED display, using a solid-state laser beam in one variation, which permits a truly hermetic seal to be made at reasonable cost on a wide variety of substrate types including silicon, glass, plastic, or metal. Alternative sealing techniques currently in use by many companies employ adhesive seals that can permit water to diffuse into the display, especially under hot and moist conditions. This invention is of primary potential benefit to medium to large size OLED displays and is especially useful for sealing moisture sensitive electronics such as video displays that are to be used in rugged or tropical environment applications. The assigned U.S. Patent number is 6,608,283.

      Universal Display Corporation Awarded Two New Department of Energy SBIR Contracts for Lighting Applications

      October 02, 2003 08:41:00 (ET)


      EWING, N.J., Oct 2, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Advances Using Universal Display`s Phosphorescent OLED Technology Can Provide Additional Power Efficiency Gains for White Lighting

      Universal Display Corporation (PANL, Trade), a leading developer of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other opto-electronic applications, announced today that the Company has been awarded two, $100,000 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to demonstrate innovative techniques to improve OLED power efficiencies, a critical performance attribute for the general lighting industry.

      Universal Display and its research partners at Princeton University and the University of Southern California are developing several novel approaches for highly-efficient white light using the Company`s phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED(TM)) technology. In addition to the use of this highly-efficient PHOLED technology, better light extraction and lower voltages are required to achieve the power efficiency targets of the general lighting market. These two DOE SBIR Programs will allow Universal Display to focus on demonstrating advances in both of these areas.

      In the first DOE SBIR Program, entitled "Novel Light Extraction Enhancements for Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) Lighting," Universal Display and its partners will demonstrate the feasibility of using specialized designs, such as lens arrays, on an OLED device to enhance the amount of generated light that is captured from the device as useful light.

      In the second DOE SBIR Program, entitled "Novel Lower-Voltage OLEDs for Higher-Efficiency Lighting," Universal Display and its partners will focus on demonstrating new conductivity enhancement techniques as a means to lower the operating voltage of an OLED device to further improve the overall device power efficiency.

      Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display Corporation, stated, "These contracts from the U.S. Department of Energy continue to validate the Company`s development of revolutionary, energy-efficient OLED technologies. We are excited to continue expanding our technology push from our strong base in flat panel displays into the emerging market for solid state lighting."

      The Federal SBIR Program is designed to stimulate technological innovation in the small business sector and typically consists of three phases. During the first phase, the scientific, technical and commercial merit and feasibility of a novel idea are demonstrated. If successful, a subsequent Phase II Program may be awarded that is typically $500,000 to $750,000 over a 24-month period to pursue further research and the development of a well-defined prototype. In a final Phase III Program, the demonstrated prototype is developed typically without government funding into a viable product for sale in the military and/or private sector.

      Hallo,
      tja und schon wieder ein SBIR Phase II mit 750.000 $, also das macht man doch nicht zum Scherz!
      Im Chart über 12$, wenn auch nur knapp. Wenn das kein Fehlsignal ist, dann sind zunächst so etwa 14,5 angesagt.
      (Meinen Einstiegskurs sehe ich bei der momentanen Dollarschwäche sowieso erst bei ca. 17 wieder, aber c´est la vie. Seitdem hat der Dollar über 30% verloren!!)
      Hoffe auf die 20 und/oder das langlebige Blau.

      Ja da haben wir ja schon die 14,50 kaum daß ein Monat vergangen ist.
      Der Kurs war intraday auch schon etwas höher, vielleicht kann PANL sogar noch etwas zulegen. Vermutlich gibt´s dann aber erstmal wieder eine Konsolidierungsphase, die wie immer bislang auch mit etwas erratischen Kurssprüngen nach oben und unten verlaufen kann.
      Wesentlich für den weiteren von mir erhofften Anstieg Richtung 20 wären dann aber ein paar News, vielleicht der Einstieg eines neuen Großinvestors (gab ja immer mal wieder Gerüchte). Der langersehnte Durchbruch bei der Lebensdauer der blauen OLED´s läßt ja wohl leider noch etwas auf sich warten, aber Anwendungen gibt´s auch so schon genug.

      Das hört sich wirklich gut an. Es kann wohl niemand mehr bezweifeln, dass der Zug Richtung Kommerzialisierung langsam aber sicher anrollt - schön, dass wir drin sitzen. Ich denke, dass Universal Display als kleine Firma in diesem Bereich noch riesiges Potenzial hat. Klar, auch Big Player wie Pioneer und Kodak sind seit langem in OLED involviert, aber bei denen ist es eben nur eine Sparte unter vielen und Erfolge werden sich nicht spektakulär auf den Aktienkurs auswirken - genau das erwarte ich natürlich von UD und Emagin.

      @ Desi: Schön Dich hier wieder zu treffen. Die Aussichten sind doch wirklich rosiger als bei unserem alten plasticfantastic Sorgenkind OPC, oder?

      wenn man bei beiden von einer erfolgreichen Kommerzialisierung ausgeht, würde ich POC als deutlich rosiger ansehen. Ich denke allein der Hybridchip birgt mehr Potential als UID insgesamt hat.
      Wenn man die momentane Situation betrachtet, dann steht OPC natürlich gaaaanz schlecht da.
      Aber vor einem Jahr waren meine PANL-Aktien auch nix mehr wert. Ich bin trotzdem drin geblieben und hab sie nicht mehr beachtet.

      Universal Display Corporation Wins U.S. Army SBIR Phase II Award to Develop Flexible, Color, PHOLED Displays
      Wednesday November 19, 8:32 am ET


      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2003--Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News; PHLX:PNL - News), a leading developer of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other opto-electronic applications, has been awarded a $730,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract by the U.S. Army Communication Electronics Research and Development Engineering Center (CERDEC), Ft. Monmouth, NJ, to further the development of its flexible, phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED(TM)) display technology on durable metal foil for use in military applications.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      This program, entitled "Flexible Color Phosphorescent OLED Displays," is a continuation of an SBIR Phase I program that was successfully completed earlier this year. During this program, Universal Display will use its proprietary PHOLED, transparent/top emission OLED (TOLED(TM)) and flexible OLED (FOLED(TM)) technologies to design and develop a flexible active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display on flexible thin metal foil. While most OLED displays require the use of a transparent substrate such as glass, the Company`s TOLED technology enables the novel use of an opaque metal substrate. In addition to providing added ruggedness for demanding military applications, the use of metal foil may accelerate the development of flexible thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes, which today is considered a limiting factor for the commercialization of flexible AMOLED displays.

      "We are very pleased to receive continued support from the U.S. Army," stated Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display Corporation. "The government`s sustained interest of our proprietary technologies validates our belief that OLED displays will provide critical new performance and design features leading to tremendous new product opportunities for next-generation military and commercial applications."

      eMagin Granted Key Patent for New Class of Higher Luminance, Higher Temperature OLED Device
      Monday December 1, 10:02 am ET
      Nanostructure Layers Enable Higher Resolution, Lower Power, Higher Operating Temperature; eMagin to Consider Licensing


      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2003-- eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA - News)today announced that it has been notified by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office of patent issuance for an invention of a device incorporating a new class of organic light emitting diode (OLED) materials which enables higher resolution flat panel displays with lower power consumption and increased operating temperature range. U.S. Patent No. 6,657,224 is entitled "Organic Light Emitting Diode Devices Using Thermostable Hole-Injection and Hole-Transport Compounds."
      ADVERTISEMENT


      Hole transport layers have historically been the weakest link in the parameters of temperature stability, forward voltage, and power efficiency of single molecule-based OLEDs. The invention describes a new thermally stable class of hole transport compounds integrated into multi-layered organic light emitting diodes. These materials (i.e., thermostable aryl amine compounds) are prepared as nanostructure layers approximately 10 nm to 50 nm thick as part of a multi-layered OLED device allowing for a more gradual (or staircase) change in the energy of holes and electrons, resulting in a lower operating voltage and a high quantum yield of luminescence for each current level.

      The benefits of this new "staircase" class of light emitting device include increased power efficiency, increased quantum injection efficiency, and a lower forward organic diode voltage for use with lower voltage integrated circuits. The staircase device uses materials designed to provide operation at temperatures well above 140 degrees C (284 degrees F).

      "Higher temperature stability provides for more flexibility in packaging techniques and color filter processing, as well as providing usability in ever more environmentally rugged applications," said Susan Jones, eMagin`s executive vice president. "Lower forward voltages should permit even lower power consumption on our current types of displays and allow smaller, higher density transistor cells to be designed. These two combined characteristics open the door for higher pixel densities, increased luminance, and higher resolution OLED displays in the future, which are of interest to both military and consumer customers."

      eMagin`s OLEDs already operate over a far larger temperature range than liquid crystal display (LCD) materials, and this invention is expected to further enhance this already significant advantage. The staircase device will be able to be implemented in eMagin`s standard production equipment without redesign of the manufacturing systems or the supporting integrated circuit chips, once sufficient quantities of the new hole transport materials can be produced.

      Jones added, "Many of our patents have the potential to enhance OLED performance and cost for a broad range of applications beyond near-to-eye microdisplays. The staircase patent will be considered for licensing to other manufacturers for applications which are not competitive to our near-to-eye microdisplay business."

      The new device is potentially applicable for near-to-eye displays used in applications such as virtual reality, camera viewfinders, handheld phones with large virtual screens, head mounted wearable computer and virtual reality displays, and could also be used as part of a technology base for larger direct view OLED flat panel display applications such as notebooks, large screen televisions, and many other electronic products.

      In addition to developing its own intellectual property portfolio, eMagin is a licensee of Eastman Kodak`s small molecule OLED technology. Industry research analysts, such as iSuppli/Stanford Resources and DisplaySearch predict that the OLED display market could grow to $3 billion by 2007.

      Hallo OLED-Freunde,
      der Kurs von PANL korrigiert anscheinend etwas, vielleicht möchte noch jemand einsteigen?
      Wer sich für OLED´s interessiert, kann ja mal folgenden Link ausprobieren. Ihr findet einen Artikel aus der Februar-Ausgabe des "Scientific American", einer führenden wissenschaftlichen Zeitung, über die Funktionsweise von OLED´s (mit bunten Abbildungen). Am Ende des Artikels werden auch eMagin (EMA) und Universal Display (PANL) erwähnt.

      Sagt mal, findet Ihr den PANL-Kurs nicht etwas übertrieben?

      Ich meine eine Marktkap. von über 400 Mio$ bei einem Umsatz von 10 Mio$ ist ja nun kein Pappenstiel.

      Der Gesamtmarkt für OLEDs- soll bis 2008 auf max. 4 Mrd$ steigen. Um in eine moderate Bewertungssphäre zu geraten müssten davon ja fast 10% bei PANL hängenbleiben. Tut mir leid, aber das sehe ich nicht.

      Kein Bashing - ich versuche mich nur momentan gerade kritisch mit diesem Wert auseinanderzusetzen.

      Wie seht ihr darüberhinaus die Lizenzierungschancen - bisher scheinen ja noch nicht so viele die PANL-Technologien zu lizenzieren, obwohl die erste grosse OLED-Produktionswelle anrollt. Der Gewinner heisst hier vielmehr CDT. Um die kommen die grossen Hersteller nicht herum. Die werden sich noch dumm und dämlich verdienen, leider sind sie ja nicht public.

      Also ich wollte nur festhalten, dass im PANL-Kurs sehr viel Hoffnung steckt, die sich aber momentan nicht realisiert.

      Meinungen? Fundamental-Diskussion erwünscht.

      Hallo rtq,
      du hast schon recht, natürlich sind PANL und EMA objektiv gesehen hoch bewertet. Aber seit wann regiert Vernunft die Börse? Zu Zeiten der ganz großen Blase war PANL mehr als doppelt soviel wert und EMA kommt von 25(!), dabei war die Kommerzialisierung noch nicht so fortgeschritten wie jetzt.
      Und recht hast du auch, dass CDT leider leider leider nicht notiert ist - aber wo sind denn die börsennotierten Firmen, die bei dieser neuen Technik maßgeblich mitmischen? Hier im Thread wurde schon mehrfach angesprochen, dass es nicht so viel Sinn macht, Aktien von "Big Playern" wie Kodak zu kaufen, bei denen OLEDs nur einen kleinen Teilbereich des Geschäfts ausmachen. Bei Erfolgen sind große Kurssprünge nur bei kleinen Firmen wie PANL und EMA drin - ich würde auch noch auf andere "Ponys" setzen, wenn ich welche wüsste - denn dass OLEDs sich durchsetzen, daran besteht für mich überhaupt kein Zweifel mehr.
      Ob man gerade jetzt einsteigen sollte, ist natürlich die Frage - ich denke, dass wir eigentlich schon wieder eine mittelgroße Blase haben, und wenn die platzt, gehts natürlich gerade Firmen an den Kragen, die fundamental (noch) nicht so viel zu bieten haben. Ich persönlich bin allerdings seit über 4 Jahren long und werde es auch bleiben.
      Gruß,
      Mo

      P.S. Der EMA-Kurs entwickelt sich weiter sehr erfreulich, und das bei relativ hohen Umsätzen. Vielleicht ein Übernahmekandidat?

      Philips baut zusammenrollbare Displays


      "Polymer Vision" soll für Massenfertigung der Polymer-Displays sorgen


      Philips hat jetzt erste Prototypen eines extrem dünnen, großflächigen rollbaren Displays vorgestellt. Dabei kombiniert der Hersteller ein Aktiv-Matrix-Polymer mit einer reflektierenden elektronischen Tinte, die auf einem extrem dünnen Plastikbogen aufgebracht ist.



      Die so hergestellten verhältnismäßig leichten Displays lassen sich zusammenrollen und so platzsparend verstauen, wenn sie nicht benötigt werden. Damit sollen sie insbesondere für den mobilen Einsatz geeignet sein. Philips spricht aber auch von Stiften mit herausziebaren Displays, die mit dieser Technik möglich seien.

      Man wolle aber nicht nur zeigen, dass sich solche Displays herstellen lassen, so Philips, vielmehr arbeite man mit Hochdruck an einen industriellen Herstellungsprozess, um entsprechende Displays in Massenfertigung herzustellen. Dazu wurde im "Philips Technology Incubator" ein spezielles Unternehmen mit Namen Polymer Vision gegründet.

      Polymer Vision habe bereits erste Displays mit QVGA-Auflösung (320 x 240 Pixeln) und einer Diagonale von 5 Zoll bei 85 dpi hergestellt, die sich zu einer Röhre mit 2 cm Durchmesser zusammen rollen lassen. Darin ist ein 25 Mikron dicker Aktiv-Matrix-Hintergrund enthalten, auf dem die Polymer-Elektronik aufgebracht ist.

      Leider gehört Philips ja auch zu den Großen und man wird von dieser Meldung nicht direkt profitieren können. Aber sie beweist, dass die Konkurrenz bzw. konkurrierende Techniken nicht schlafen - ich schätze, daß PANL und EMA über kurz oder lang übernommen werden.
      Übrigens sind OLEDs, um die es sich bei dem beschriebenen Produkt offensichtlich NICHT handelt, grundsätzlich filmartig und damit dünn und biegsam - die Vision eines Stifts mit herausrollbarem Display hatte Universal Display schon vor etlichen Jahren und eine entsprechende Animation ist auch so ziemlich das Erste, was man auf ihrer Homesite sieht:

      PANL wird jetzt neuerdings als Nanotech-Aktie gepriesen. Man mag davon halten was man will, aber das Interesse an PANL dürfte dadurch zunehmen. Immerhin taucht sie als eine von 25 Aktien eines neuen "Nano-Indexes" auf, d.h. hier dürften auch Fonds etc. Interesse zeigen.

      DJ Merrill Starts Nanotechnology Index Of 25 Stocks

      04/01/2004

      Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

      NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Merrill Lynch thinks extremely little things could one day make investors a lot of money.

      The firm is introducing the Merrill Lynch Nanotechnology Index, which will include equal weighted holdings of 25 companies that have a significant amount of their future profits tied to this miniature technology.

      The index will be quoted by the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "NNZ", but it isn`t something in which people could invest directly, the firm said.

      "We believe nanotechnology could be the next growth innovation, similar in importance to information technology over the past 50 years," Merrill technology analyst Steven Milunovich said in a Thursday research note. "Nanotech is real - the questions generally are when, not if."

      Nanotech, the name of the science of making things less than 100 nanometers in size (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter), isn`t a separate industry, he said, but a new approach applied to various sciences.

      The following companies will be included in the index: Amcol International (ACO), Applied Films (AFCO), Altair Nanotechnologies (ALTI), Biosante Pharmaceuticals (BPA), Caliper Life Sciences (CALP), Cabot Microelectronics (CCMP), Emcore (EMKR), FEI (FEIC), Flamel Technologies (FLML), Headwaters (HDWR), JMAR Tech (JMAR), MTS Systems (MTSC), Nanometrics (NANO), Nanophase Technologies (NANX), Nanogen (NGEN), NVE Corp. (NVEC), Universal Display (PANL), Pharmacopeia (ACCL), SkyePharma (SKYE), Symyx Technologies (SMMX), Three-Five Systems (TFS), Harris & Harris (TINY), Ultratech (UTEK), Veeco Instruments (VECO) and Westaim (WEDX).

      nochmal über 6% bei hohem Volumen rauf...
      Mal seh´n, wie lange das noch weitergehen kann. Wenn´s bis 20 reicht, verkaufe ich vielleicht :laugh: .
      Eigentlich mag ich keine "Nanotech"-Aktien, habe den Einstieg irgendwie verpaßt, jetzt läuft ein Hype und das Ende davon ist vorhersehbar :(.
      Ich kaufe dann lieber in der zweiten Runde, wenn die Kurse wieder zusammengefallen sind und man sich die besten Rosinen aus dem Teig picken kann :lick: !
      Es wird sich so ähnlich wie mit den Bios entwickeln, einige kommen groß raus, die meisten gehen ein oder werden irgendwann zu niedrigen Kursen übernommen. Jetzt ist die Zeit erstmal reif für Biotech etc., bis die "Nanos" mal Gewinne abwerfen, dauert es wohl noch eine ganze Weile.
      Aber eigentlich weiß ich sowieso nicht, was PANL in diesem Nanotech-Index soll... aber wenn´s hilft?

      eMagin Introduces New OLED Display Modules
      Monday May 24, 7:45 am ET
      Custom Microdisplay Sizes Up To One Inch and UXGA Tiled Displays Using Fiber Optics


      SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2004--eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA - News), the leading manufacturer of active matrix OLED microdisplays, today announced availability of a new class of OLED displays integrated with fiber optic bundles for virtual imaging. The new family of integrated displays enables a greatly expanded range of custom video image sizes and new configurations such as UXGA (1600 x 1200 pixels) resolution. This new capability permits eMagin`s award-winning, active matrix OLED microdisplays to immediately provide the highest resolution full-color microdisplays available for simulators and other high performance applications.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      eMagin is showcasing the integrated fiber optic display at the Society for Information Display Conference and Exhibition May 25 through 27 in Seattle, Wash. (Booth 1051). An approximately 1-inch diagonal 852 x 600 display module will be demonstrated using eMagin`s 0.61-inch SVGA+ display and the fiber optic. The fiber optic effectively magnifies the image and brings the new image up to the new surface plane of the fiber optic. The fiber optic is mounted on the surface of the display by means of a proprietary mounting technique with wide temperature range compatibility.

      "This latest addition to our SVGA series microdisplay portfolio underscores our commitment to provide highly versatile solutions for military and industrial customers," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of eMagin. "Until now, certain OEM product designs which require large field-of-view images and specify the use of approximately 1-inch diagonal microdisplays had no alternative to LCDs, which use many times the subsystem power and heating of eMagin`s OLED at similar luminance levels, have bulky control and luminance systems, and exhibit high temperature sensitivity. We believe that our new class of integrated displays represents a breakthrough for customizing near-eye virtual imaging system designs."

      The integrated fiber optic display works uniquely well using eMagin`s emissive OLED technology since the OLED image plane is extremely close to the surface of the device and, unlike LCDs, emits standard non-polarized light, resulting in sharp images at the surface of the fiber optic. Displays with tapered (magnifying) and non-magnifying fiber optics are available.

      New Technology, New Capabilities

      As a result of the new integration process, eMagin can offer customers an ability to purchase products with a number of new capabilities at this time. These include:

      Custom-sized microdisplays - A standard size magnifying taper is available to provide an approximately 1-inch diagonal SVGA+ display. Other positive and negative magnification factors on flat surfaces can be custom built for various applications. In addition, eMagin displays can be retrofit into optical systems designed for other sizes of displays.
      Tiled microdisplays for larger sizes, custom configurations -eMagin displays may now be ordered in a variety of formats and sizes, including color UXGA (1600x1200 pixels, approx. 1.7 inches). The expanding fiber bundles eliminate almost all of the dark space that would otherwise have been present between the displays. These tiles can be combined for planar images or with overall curved surfaces.
      Flat fiber optic bundles bringing the image plane to the cover glass surface - Standard non-magnifying fiber optic covers are available that permit the display image to be at the surface of the glass, a capability that is useful for custom high-efficiency optical systems.
      Non-planar optical surface displays - Uniquely curved image surfaces can be created to enable highly compact optical magnification systems (for example, spherical image surfaces). This capability permits larger virtual images to be built using ultra-compact optics in ways not even flexible displays could duplicate.
      While the fiber optic systems are currently available using monochrome and full-color SVGA+ displays, they can easily be adapted in the future to SVGA-3D display and other OLED microdisplays.

      Lower Cost, Faster Access to Custom Sizes

      Coupled with the new fiber optics, the integrated OLED displays provide an ability to obtain various size display diagonals with no need for the long lead time and cost of custom driver integrated circuits.

      Coupling the displays to optical systems enables creation of custom display sizes and even non-planar image surfaces. This advance opens the door for new ways of creating large, easy to view life-like virtual images from very small packages.

      Universal Display Corporation Unveils Groundbreaking Flexible OLED Prototype on Metallic Substrate
      Wednesday May 26, 9:03 am ET
      FOLED Prototype Uses Vitex Systems` Barix Coating for Thin-Film Encapsulation


      EWING, N.J. & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2004-- Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News; PHLX:PNL - News), a leading developer of organic light emitting device (OLED) technology for flat panel displays and other opto-electronic applications and Vitex Systems, a leader in developing thin-film packaging solutions for flexible flat panel displays, today announced a groundbreaking flexible OLED (FOLED®) built on metallic substrate. The Universal Display FOLED prototype was packaged by Vitex Systems using their proprietary Barix(TM) encapsulation technology. Universal Display will showcase the prototype at their booth (#1211) during the Society for Information Display conference in Seattle, WA.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      The first of its kind, this 6" x 6" icon-format OLED prototype using Universal Display`s proprietary, high-efficiency phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED(TM)) technology and materials was built on a 4 mil metallic substrate, prepared by Palo Alto Research Center, a subsidiary of Xerox Corporation. Enabled by Universal Display`s proprietary FOLED and transparent/top-emission OLED (TOLED®) technologies, the novel use of metallic substrates for OLEDs is a complementary alternative to glass and plastics. Flexible metallic substrates offer excellent barrier properties, thermal and dimensional stability over a broad temperature range, cost-effectiveness and potential near-term integration with backplane technology for active-matrix displays for applications such as rollable, retractable and rugged displays.

      This FOLED prototype was packaged using Vitex`s Barix technology, a unique thin-film barrier encapsulation solution. Comprised of alternating layers of polymer and ceramic film applied in vacuum, the Barix coating has a total thickness of only about three microns (approximately 1/20th the thickness of a human hair). Since Vitex`s technology can be applied directly on top of an OLED display, it eliminates the bulky mechanical packaging components, while at the same time provides the moisture and oxygen protection required by an OLED display.

      "The Society for Information Display conference is the leading showcase for display innovation, and we are excited to demonstrate such a groundbreaking display at this year`s event," states Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display. "Flexible OLEDs on metallic substrates provide important performance features, in particular where extreme thermal and mechanical factors are key. Universal Display and Vitex Systems have been working closely for a number of years. We are excited by the progress that we have jointly made in this area, and by the additional opportunities that these recent advances may create. By combining these rigorous and rugged substrates with our FOLED technology and Vitex`s Barix technology, we are on the cutting edge of the future of display technology."

      Commenting on today`s announcement, Vitex CEO Malcolm Thompson noted, "Flexible OLED displays offer inherent advantages over traditional display technologies. Their broad adoption has been impeded, however, by a key manufacturing challenge--namely, the OLED`s sensitivity to moisture and oxygen. We are pleased to be working with Universal Display to demonstrate the value of our technology, which can provide the same protection to that of a sheet of glass without the added bulk--all the while enabling extreme flexibility."

      Emagin hat ja einen richtigen Satz gemacht, gab heute und gestern gute news (siehe links). Auch von PANL gibt es regelmäßig Erfolgsmeldungen, aber leider wirkt sich kaum etwas positiv auf den Kurs aus. Beide Firmen stehen mitten in der Kommerzialisierung ihrer Produkte und haben doch potenziell einen Riesenmarkt - sieht das denn keiner? Emagin hat ein UXGA-Display (1600 x 1200 Pixel!) hergestellt und es gibt mittlerweile schon Digitalkameras, Handys und Autoradios mit OLED. Ich bin jedenfalls optimistischer denn je, aber man braucht schon viel Geduld.

      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y. & WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2004--eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA - News), the leading manufacturer of active matrix OLED microdisplays, unveiled its new 11.52 million pixel OLED display at the 2004 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, DC. The display can be viewed at Booth 4243 at the Washington Convention Center through October 27.
      Only two weeks after demonstrating a tiled UXGA display (1600x3x1200 pixels), eMagin has doubled the resolution (1600x3x2400 pixels) to create the world`s highest resolution OLED display and highest resolution microdisplay. This accomplishment further validates the use of eMagin`s bundled fiber optic elements to provide custom video sizes and resolutions.

      At AUSA, eMagin is showing a display configuration that comprises two UXGA displays bundled in a near seamless manner. The display is being shown in a full-color triad, double-UGXA format, dubbed "DUXGA." The fiber optic effectively magnifies the image and brings the new image up to the new surface plane of the fiber optic, minimizing tiling borders for the effect of an extremely large resolution display. The new DUXGA display provides over 16 million colors, ultra-high speed flicker free imaging, stereovision capability, and almost all of the other attributes of eMagin`s smaller OLED microdisplays.

      This fiber optic bundling capability enables eMagin`s award-winning, active matrix OLED microdisplays to deliver ultra-high resolution for a variety of demanding applications. The new display is positioned primarily for use in military and commercial simulators, as well as enhanced FLIR and FLR surveillance and targeting imaging applications.

      Tuesday October 26, 8:45 am ET
      Universal Display to Develop Novel Process Technology for the Cost-Effective Manufacture of White OLEDs


      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2004-- Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News), a leading developer of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other opto-electronic applications, has been awarded a three-year, $4,000,000 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under its new Solid-State Lighting (SSL) program to develop and demonstrate novel manufacturing technology for white OLED (WOLED(TM)) production. The DOE is funding $2,400,000, or 60% of the cost of the program, with the remaining $1,600,000 being funded as "cost share" by the Company and its subcontractor. Funds for the first year of the program have been committed.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      During the three-year program entitled, "Novel Low Cost Organic Vapor Jet Printing of Striped High Efficiency Phosphorescent OLEDs for White Lighting," Universal Display and its longstanding research partner, Princeton University, will focus on developing a cost-effective, maskless deposition process called organic vapor jet printing (OVJP). This novel process will be used to fabricate energy-efficient white OLED lighting sources using the Company`s proprietary high-efficiency phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED(TM)) technology and a novel approach based on printing a series of red, green and blue OLED stripes to achieve white light emission.

      The OVJP process was originally invented by Dr. Stephen R. Forrest and his team at Princeton University as an innovative direct printing approach for molecular organic materials for the cost-effective production of organic electronic technologies including OLED flat panel displays and lighting. Using the same types of organic materials used in OLED products sold today, OVJP enables the rapid printing of high-resolution patterns of small-molecule organic materials onto a variety of substrates. This is achieved by expanding an organic vapor through a microscopic nozzle to form a highly collimated gas beam. This gas beam is then directed to print fine-featured patterns of these organic materials at very rapid rates. During this program, OVJP will be developed to print a series of red, green and blue stripes to generate white light.

      Potential advantages of the OVJP process include higher materials utilization, higher resolution printing capabilities and higher manufacturing throughput when compared with other techniques in use and under development. This is significant because developing a low-cost means of producing OLED light sources is crucial to the widespread adoption of OLED technology by the lighting industry. OLED technology has the potential to revolutionize the lighting market through the development of highly energy efficient, solid-state white lighting sources. According to a report prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy, solid state lighting, including OLEDs, can reduce energy consumption for lighting by up to 33% by 2025, if successfully adopted.

      "We are looking forward to expanding our relationship with the Department of Energy through their new Solid-State Lighting Initiative," stated Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display Corporation. "In conjunction with several recently-announced DOE Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs that focus on OLED power efficiency improvements, this program will drive advances in OLED process technology and white OLED development. These gains have the potential to translate into lower OLED manufacturing costs and higher OLED energy efficiency, which are key DOE performance targets for the development of this energy-saving, solid-state lighting solution of the future."

      The goal of the U.S. Department of Energy`s Solid-State Lighting program is to fundamentally change the future of lighting through the research and development of next-generation white light sources. Through collaborative, cost-shared projects, its mission is to maintain the U.S.`s position as a leader in SSL technology, as well as provide cost-effective lighting solutions for industry and consumers alike. This initiative is aimed at producing significant energy savings and new lighting sources, and may also lead to the rise of new industry and markets.

      Moin,
      ;)
      ist ja doch noch Leben hier...
      Wollte auch gerade die News posten, nicht mehr nötig. Hätte ich doch damals ein paar EMA ins Depot legen sollen für wenige Cents, aber die erschienen mir immer zu unsolide finanziert. PANL ist recht solide finanziert, der Kurs ist aber auch immer schon etwas ambitioniert gewesen. Aber angesichts der Chancen und des riesigen Zukunftsmarktes?

      Time will tell.

      Grüße q.

      P.S.: Hoffentlich halten die 10$, ist immer so erfreulich, zweistellige Kurse zu sehen!

      eMagin Wins Patent for Gray-Scale Pixel Driver
      Tuesday November 9, 7:00 am ET
      Approach Enables Brighter OLEDs, Control of Brightness


      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 2004--eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA - News) has been granted a patent covering invention of an innovative gray-scale pixel driver for electronic displays. The circuit effectively allows variable brightness in gray-scale OLED displays, enabling greater utility in bright sunlight applications. The technology covered by the new patent (6,809,710) will greatly facilitate systems design integration by providing an integrated solution removing the need for adding external circuit components.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      The patented circuit employs a current source operating in a switched mode. The output of the current source is connected to a terminal of the OLED. The current source responds to a combination of a selectively set cyclical voltage signal and a cyclical variable amplitude voltage signal. When the current source is switched on, it supplies the OLED with sufficient current to achieve maximum luminance. When switched off, the current source blocks the supply of current to the OLED, providing a uniform black level for an OLED display.

      Modulating the pulse width of the current controls the apparent luminance of the OLED, effectively varying the length of time that current is supplied to the OLED. By means of a switched mode of operation at the current source, the circuit can employ a larger range of voltages to control the luminance values in a current-driven OLED display.

      "The capability to drive brighter OLED displays and to vary the brightness of those displays broadens the technology`s utility and the depth of the information content available per pixel - for both see-through and reflective displays," said Susan Jones, eMagin`s chief marketing and strategy officer. "We continue to pursue innovations that will make OLED technology more robust and of broader use to our customers."

      The global market for OLED displays is expected to grow from a projected $429 million this year to more than $3 billion in 2010, according to market research firm iSuppli Corp.

      Overview

      We design and manufacture miniature display modules, which we refer to as OLED-on-silicon-microdisplays, primarily for incorporation into the products of other manufacturers. Microdisplays are typically smaller than a postage stamp, but when viewed through a magnifier they can contain all of the information appearing on a high-resolution personal computer screen. Our microdisplays use organic light emitting diodes, or OLEDs, which emit light themselves when a current is passed through them. Our technology permits OLEDs to be coated onto silicon chips to produce high resolution OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.

      We believe that our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer a number of advantages in near to the eye applications over other current microdisplay technologies, including lower power requirements, less weight, fast video speed without flicker, and wider viewing angles. In addition, many computer and video electronic system functions can be built directly into the OLED-on-silicon microdisplay, resulting in compact systems with lower expected overall system costs relative to alternate microdisplay technologies.

      Since our inception in 1996, we derived substantially all of our revenues from fees paid to us under research and development contracts, primarily with the U.S. government. We have devoted significant resources to the development and commercial launch of our products. We commenced limited initial sales of our SVGA+ microdisplay in May 2001 and commenced shipping samples of our SVGA-3D microdisplay in February 2002. As of September 30, 2004, we have recognized approximately $7.3 million from sales of our products, and have a backlog of approximately $35 million in products ordered for delivery through 2007. These products are being applied or considered for near-eye and headset applications in products such as entertainment and gaming headsets, handheld Internet and telecommunication appliances, viewfinders, and wearable computers to be manufactured by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers. In addition to marketing OLED-on-silicon microdisplays as components, we also offer microdisplays in an integrated package, which we call Microviewer, which includes a compact lens for viewing the microdisplay and electronic interfaces to convert the signal from our customer`s product into a viewable image on the microdisplay. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Virtual Vision, Inc., we are also developing head-wearable displays that incorporate our Microviewer.

      We license our core OLED technology from Eastman Kodak and we have developed our own technology to create high performance OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and related optical systems. We believe our technology licensing agreement with Eastman Kodak, coupled with our own intellectual property portfolio, gives us a leadership position in OLED and OLED-on-silicon microdisplay technology. We are the only company to demonstrate publicly and offer commercially full-color OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.

      Company History

      Our history has been as a developmental stage company. As of January 1, 2003, we are no longer a development stage Company. We have transitioned to manufacturing our product and intend to significantly increase our marketing, sales, and research and development efforts, and expand our operating infrastructure. If we are unable to generate significant revenues, our net losses in any given period could increase and we may be forced to reduce our expenses or operations.

      CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management`s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

      Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.

      Revenue Recognition

      Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer, the price is fixed, title to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment. Revenue is recognized at shipment and we record a reserve for estimated sales returns, which is reflected as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition.

      Revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Revenues from research and development activities relating to cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a portion of estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party. Amounts can be billed on a bi-monthly basis. Billing is based on subjective cost investment factors.

      Results of Operations

      THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

      Revenues

      Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $1.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively as compared to $0.7 million and $1.5

      million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of 45% and 102%, respectively. The increase in revenue resulted from increased unit volume to the Company`s current customer base. Unit pricing was relatively unchanged in 2004 as compared to 2003. We currently have firm orders or letters of intent to purchase our products at significantly higher volume levels than we have experienced historically. In order to realize revenue from these orders, we will be required to increase unit production levels and the amount of capital committed to pre-payments of raw materials and finished goods. The critical raw materials in the manufacture of our products are silicon wafers used to create our OLED microdisplays and lenses used in assembly of our subsystems. Both of these items require significant cash pre-payments and can take up to six months for delivery once ordered. While we anticipate that our revenues will increase in the future, we can not reliably estimate when and by how much until predictable raw material delivery is established or increased levels of these materials are held in inventory.

      Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold includes direct and indirect costs associated with production and inventory loss. Cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $1.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The $0.3 million and $1.0 million increase, respectively, in costs was directly related to higher unit volumes in 2004 as compared to 2003. However, our gross loss percentage during the 2004 periods has been reduced significantly due to volume and operating efficiencies created as we increased production.

      We currently record all expenses associated with manufacturing in cost of goods sold. The full facility overhead as well as the expense of indirect materials is matched against our units sold. While our production volume is low, the gross margin reflects the costs that will be absorbed when quantities increase.

      Costs and Expenses

      Research and Development. Research and development expenses included salaries, development materials and other costs specifically allocated to the development of new products. Research and development expenses were $359 thousand and $443 thousand for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $600 and $22,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase was a result of new OLED microdisplay and subsystem development initiatives. We currently anticipate that research and development expenses will increase over the coming quarters as these projects progress.

      Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and fees for professional services, legal fees incurred in connection with patent filings and related matters, amortization, as well as other marketing and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to $0.7 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase of $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to relocation expenses associated with staff relocating to Washington State. The increase of $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to the same factors. We currently anticipate that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase over the coming quarters as we hire additional sales and support staff.

      Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $(0.6) million and ($4.0) million, respectively, as compared to $(0.4) million and $(0.7) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The $0.1 million increase in other income for the

      three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 was due to a non cash charge of approximately $0.6 million associated with the re-pricing of warrants in relation to obtaining a waiver of certain participating rights in connection with our shelf financing versus the interest on debt recorded in 2003. The $3.2 million increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was primarily due to non cash financing expenses that recorded the valuation of warrants issued in conjunction with the early conversion of the $7.825 million in Notes to equity. Gain on Payable Forgiveness was a result of restructuring our debt in 2003.


      Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Current Financial Position

      We have total liabilities and contractual obligations of $2,250,089 as of
      September 30, 2004. These contractual obligations, along with the dates on which
      such payments are due, are described below:

      Contractual Obligations Total One Year or Less More than One Year
      ----------------------- --------------- ---------------- ------------------
      Royalties $ 531,250 $ 125,000 $ 406,250
      Operating leases 110,892 110,892 -
      Capital leases 47,461 18,372 29,089
      ----------- ------------ ----------
      Total contractual obligations $ 689,603 $ 254,264 $ 435,339
      =========== ============ ==========




      As mentioned in Note 13 - Subsequent Events, in October and November of 2004 we completed direct equity placements of common stock and warrants that resulted in net proceeds after expenses of $12.4 million. These funds significantly strengthen our liquidity and capital resources and will be used in part to fund the working capital requirements discussed above.
      Assuming we are able to increase our revenue, we anticipate that we will continue to experience growth in our operating expenses for the foreseeable future and that our operating expenses will be the principal use of our cash. In particular, we expect that salaries for employees engaged in production operations, purchase of inventory, funding of receivables and expenses of increased sales and marketing efforts would be the principle uses of cash. We expect that our cash requirements over the next 12 months will be met by a combination of cash on hand, which, as of September 30, 2004 was $4.1 million, additional financing, the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, and revenues generated by operations.

      We have purchase agreements for approximately $35 million of our products to be delivered now through 2007. Management believes that the prospects for growth of product revenue remain high.

      Scheduled deliveries against our purchase agreements and other customer requirements are subject to change depending on a number of factors including, our production capacity which is heavily dependant on predictable silicon wafer and lens delivery from our suppliers, our customers` production timing of related systems into which they are integrating our products and their other supplier schedules, changes in the expected procurement periods for military programs and the requirements of the individual agreements and contracts that we have with our customers. We currently anticipate the need to ramp our supplies and staffing quickly and efficiently to be prepared to meet the currently anticipated shipping schedules, which will require significant added effort and capital.

      Our cash requirements depend on numerous factors, including new product development activities, ability to commercialize our products, timely market acceptance of our products and our customers` products, and other factors. We expect to carefully devote capital resources to continue our development programs directed at commercializing our products in our target markets, hire and train additional staff, expand our research and development activities, and develop and expand our manufacturing capacity.

      Any delays could change the cash requirements of the company. While we believe that we are in position to handle the anticipated production increase, there can be no assurance that we will not experience some issues relating to raw material availability, yield and throughput risk that could result in product shipment delays to customers.

      Factors Which May Affect Future Results

      In evaluating our business, prospective investors and shareholders should carefully consider the risks factors, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition and result in a complete loss of your investment.

      We remain subject to the American Stock Exchange`s review regarding our compliance with their continued listing requirements.

      The AMEX staff notified us in June 2003 that we had fallen below Section 1003(a)(i) of the AMEX Company Guide for having shareholders` equity of less than $2,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two out of the three most recent fiscal years. We were afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the AMEX and presented a plan to the AMEX in July 2003. On September 9, 2003, we received notice from the staff of the AMEX that the AMEX had accepted our plan to regain compliance with AMEX`s continued listing standards and granted us an extension until December 4, 2004 to regain compliance with those standards.

      As a result of our financing activity throughout 2004 and the conversion of our outstanding promissory notes in March 2004, our balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 and our anticipated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 will meet AMEX`s $2 million shareholder equity requirement.

      While we anticipate that AMEX will notify us that we have regained compliance with their continued listing standards, we have not yet received such notification. Other unidentified issues may arise in the future that could adversely affect the financial or the potential listing status of the company.

      We have a history of losses since our inception and may incur losses for the foreseeable future.

      Accumulated net losses as of September 30, 2004, were $(145) million, the majority of which was related to the March 2000 merger and the subsequent write-down of goodwill. The non-cash losses were dominated by the amortization and write-down of goodwill and purchased intangibles and write-down of acquired in-process research and development related to the March 2000 acquisition, and also included some non-cash stock-based compensation. We have not yet achieved profitability and we can give no assurances that we will achieve profitability within the foreseeable future as we fund our operations and capital expenditures in areas such as establishment and expansion of markets, sales and marketing, operating equipment and research and development. We cannot assure investors that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability or that our operating losses will not increase in the future.

      We were previously primarily dependent on U.S. government contracts.

      For many years the majority of our revenues were derived from research and development contracts with the U.S. government. We no longer rely on such contracts for revenue. We plan to submit proposals for additional development contract funding; however, funding is subject to legislative authorization and even if funds are appropriated such funds may be withdrawn based on changes in government priorities. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining new government contracts. Our inability to obtain revenues from government contracts could have a material adverse effect on our results of long-term operations, unless substantial product or non-government contract revenue offsets any lack of government contract revenue.

      Risks related to our intellectual property

      We rely on our license agreement with Eastman Kodak for the development of our products. Eastman Kodak`s licensing of its OLED technology to others for microdisplay applications, or the sublicensing by Eastman Kodak of our OLED technology to third parties, could have a material adverse impact on our business.

      Our principal products under development utilize OLED technology that we license from Eastman Kodak. We rely upon Eastman Kodak to protect and enforce key patents held by Eastman Kodak, relating to OLED display technology. Eastman Kodak`s patents expire at various times in the future from near term in 2004 through long term patents that are just being issued in 2004. Our license with Eastman Kodak could terminate if we fail to perform any material term or covenant under the license agreement. Since our license from Eastman Kodak is non-exclusive, Eastman Kodak could also elect to become a competitor itself or to license OLED technology for microdisplay applications to others who have the potential to compete with us. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse impact on our business.

      We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

      We rely on a combination of patents, trade secret protection, licensing agreements and other arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary technologies. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. Patents may not be issued for our current patent applications, third parties may challenge, invalidate or circumvent any patent issued to us, unauthorized parties could obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, rights granted under patents issued to us may not afford us any competitive advantage, others may independently develop similar technology or design around our patents, our technology may be available to licensees of Eastman Kodak, and protection of our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain foreign countries. We may be required to expend significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. Any future infringement or other claims or prosecutions related to our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management`s attention and resources, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Protection of intellectual property has historically been a large expense for eMagin. We have not been in a financial position to properly protect all of our intellectual property, and may not be in a position to properly protect our position or stay ahead of competition in new research and the protecting of the resulting intellectual property.

      Risks related to the microdisplay industry

      The commercial success of the microdisplay industry depends on the widespread market acceptance of microdisplay systems products.

      The market for microdisplays is emerging. Our success will depend on consumer acceptance of microdisplays as well as the success of the commercialization of the microdisplay market. As an OEM supplier, our customer`s products must also be well accepted. At present, it is difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities for our technology in this market. The viewfinder microdisplay market sector is well established with entrenched competitors with whom we must compete.

      The microdisplay systems business is intensely competitive.

      We do business in intensely competitive markets that are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in market requirements and competition from both other suppliers and our potential OEM customers. Such markets are typically characterized by price erosion. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and outside our control. We expect these factors to include the following:

      o our success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new products, including those implementing new technologies on a timely basis;
      o our ability to address the needs of our customers and the quality of our customer services;
      o the quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use and pricing of our products;
      o successful expansion of our manufacturing capabilities;
      o our efficiency of production, and ability to manufacture and ship products on time;
      o the rate at which original equipment manufacturing customers incorporate our product solutions into their own products;
      o the market acceptance of our customers` products; and
      o product or technology introductions by our competitors.

      Our competitive position could be damaged if one or more potential OEM customers decide to manufacture their own microdisplays, using OLED or alternate technologies. In addition, our customers may be reluctant to rely on a relatively small company such as eMagin for a critical component. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

      The display industry is cyclical.

      The display industry is characterized by fabrication facilities that require large capital expenditures and long lead times for supplies and the subsequent processing time, leading to frequent mismatches between supply and demand. The OLED microdisplay sector may experience overcapacity if and when all of the facilities presently in the planning stage come on line leading to a difficult market in which to sell our products.

      Competing products may get to market sooner than ours.

      Our competitors are investing substantial resources in the development and manufacture of microdisplay systems using alternative technologies such as reflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs), LCD-on-Silicon ("LCOS") microdisplays, active matrix electroluminescence and scanning image systems, and transmissive active matrix LCDs. Some of these products have been introduced years ahead of our products and some are established in segments of the microdisplay and virtual imaging markets that we have yet to enter. Displacing entrenched competitors may be difficult, especially in long-term projects or products, even if our product proves itself to be better.

      Our competitors have many advantages over us.

      As the microdisplay market develops, we expect to experience intense competition from numerous domestic and foreign companies including well-established corporations possessing worldwide manufacturing and production facilities, greater name recognition, larger retail bases and significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than us, as well as from emerging companies attempting to obtain a share of the various markets in which our microdisplay products have the potential to compete.

      Our products are subject to lengthy OEM development periods.

      We plan to sell most of our microdisplays and related products to OEMs who will incorporate them into or with products they sell. OEMs determine during their product development phase whether they will incorporate our products. The time elapsed between initial sampling of our products by OEMs, the custom design of our products to meet specific OEM product requirements, and the ultimate incorporation of our products into OEM consumer products is significant. If our products fail to meet our OEM customers` cost, performance or technical . . .

      Und hier ist noch was von emagin. Die Idee, PC- Spieler mit den displays auszustatten ist ja nicht so neu, aber sie scheinen da jetzt ein Schritt nach vorn gemacht zu haben.

      Ich sehe den gamer- Markt als sehr aussichtsreich an! Schön, dass ich dabei bin ;)

      January 06, 2005 07:00:00 (ET)


      LAS VEGAS, Jan 6, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Now you can see wide-screen 3D - with neither special red-green glasses nor heavy headsets with high-powered battery packs and complex interface electronics.

      eMagin Corporation (EMA, Trade), the leading manufacturer of OLED (organic light-emitting diode) microdisplays, is introducing the first personal display system to combine OLED technology with head-tracking and 3D stereovision. The result gives gamers, designers, or any computer user a truly immersive experience. The company is demonstrating its Z800 3D Visor in booth IP561 of the Innovations Plus Pavilion at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas through January 9.

      The Z800 3D Visor incorporates two eMagin SVGA 3D OLED displays (800 x 3 x 600 pixels per display) for a total of 2.8 million pixels to provide an immersive view equivalent to a 105-inch screen at twelve feet, and uses high-speed head tracking to permit 360 degree viewing.

      The Z800 3D Visor draws its power from any standard USB port with no additional power sources. Completing this experience is an integrated, state-of-the-art audio system with high-fidelity ear buds and a built-in noise-canceling microphone.

      Ideal for computer gaming, the Z800 3D Visor also supports PC-based DVD entertainment, as well as simulation, graphics, and design programs. It can be used as the primary display or as an extended dual-monitor with a laptop. The Z800 3D Visor enables users to work or play in complete privacy.

      "We believe that the release of the Z800 is the opening salvo in a virtual imaging revolution that will resound throughout the electronic world," said Gary Jones, chief executive officer, eMagin Corporation. "The power and capabilities of our product represent at least an order of magnitude difference in usability and capability from previous consumer - and even most high-end - products for virtual visualization.

      "We are bringing consumers capabilities that are even greater than those in most current professional simulation headsets," Jones continued. "The small form factor, low power requirement, and ability to operate with standard computer video outputs mean that the power of virtual imaging has, for the first time, become practical for consumers."

      eMagin`s Z800 3D Visor is expected to be ideal for multiple applications and consumer needs:


      -- Electronic gaming (3D or 2D)
      -- PC and laptop-based high resolution DVD entertainment
      -- Simulation programs (3D or 2D)
      -- Dual screen PC/laptop imaging
      -- Applications requiring privacy
      -- Mobile devices with high resolution video outputs or adapters

      eMagin`s active matrix OLED displays deliver high speed, high-resolution, high-color imagery for near-eye applications. Because OLED materials emit light, the displays are thinner and lighter than conventional LCDs, and they also require less power, permitting this product to be created without a need for added battery packs or power adapters. OLED displays offer higher contrast and a wider dispersion of light, making them more comfortable to view and usable for near-eye applications. eMagin`s 3D OLED displays recognize and deliver left-eye and right-eye stereovision signals with unsurpassed efficiency. Color pixel data is buffered under each pixel site, eliminating flicker and smear.

      The eMagin Z800 3D Visor will be available in the second quarter of this year. List price is anticipated to be $899 USD. The Company is also intending to make the Z800 available for customization by OEMs. For more information on eMagin and its products, customers can visit www.emagin.com and www.3dvisor.com.

      For an appointment to meet with eMagin representatives at CES, please contact Susan Jones (business development) at 914-489-8898 or Joe Runde (media) at 845-797-8120, or visit Innovations Plus booth number IP561.

      One Really Sorry IPO
      By W.D. Crotty
      January 12, 2005

      2004 was a spectacular year for the initial public offering (IPO). There was Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), pricing at $85, opening for trading at $100, and reaching $200 a share four months later. Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS), DreamWorks Animation (NYSE: DWA), and Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) also had fantastic IPO launches that produced oversize first-day gains.

      But it wasn`t all joy and high fives in 2004. Stumbling badly out of the IPO starting gate was Cambridge Display Technology (Nasdaq: OLED). Intended to be priced at $13 to $15 a share, the company went public on December 16 at $12 a share. Ouch!

      First-day trading started robustly, with the shares opening at $12.70, but they soon peaked at $13 and eventually closed the day at $11.27. Yikes!

      Like the kid who keeps getting beaten up in the schoolyard, this stock seems to get pounded by the Wall Street bullies. With less than a month of trading under its belt, the stock hit a new all-time low of $7.58 today -- a 37% hammering from the IPO price. Annualize that!

      Display technology geeks know the company`s stock symbol, OLED, stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. Cambridge claims to own the fundamental patents to polymer-OLED technology, a thin, lightweight, power-efficient technology thought to be superior to the LCD technology currently in use for computer displays and TVs.

      How might you have avoided this IPO fiasco? First, read the risk section of the IPO disclosure document. If competitor names like Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK) don`t scare you, maybe the fact that Kodak has partners like Sanyo and licensees in production should. Look for other competitors and you`ll find small but cash-rich Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL). There is a lot of competition.

      Cambridge also has an Achilles` heel. The company`s future is not in its hands because its business model is based on licensing its technology. While a licensing model means low overhead, it also requires winning over manufacturers to make gigantic investments to bring this technology to market.

      Cambridge`s stock has been slaughtered. It is way too soon to determine whether the company will ultimately be successful. What is known is that the IPO was for 2.5 million shares at $12 a share -- $30 million. That hardly sounds like the bankroll a company will need to fight entrenched LCD competition, OLED competitors like Kodak, or even Universal Display, which is debt-free and blessed with $53 million in cash.

      For now, Cambridge Display Technology is for speculators who can afford to take a 100% loss.

      Universal Display Corporation Wins U.S. Department of Energy Award for the Development of Novel Smart Windows
      Thursday January 20, 8:30 am ET
      Company`s TOLED(R) Transparent OLED and PHOLED(TM) Phosphorescent OLED Technologies Aim to Meet DOE Energy Conservation Goals


      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 2005-- Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News), a leading developer of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other opto-electronic applications, announced today a $130,000 cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the Energy Efficient Building Technologies Funding Opportunity Announcement to demonstrate a novel " smart window" concept. The agreement includes a $100,000 funding commitment from the DOE, plus an additional $30,000 cost-share contribution from Universal Display. The DOE funding commitment represents 77% of the program cost.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      In this program entitled, " Novel Smart Windows Based on Transparent Phosphorescent OLEDs," Universal Display and its partner, Princeton University, will employ its white PHOLED(TM) phosphorescent OLED and TOLED® transparent OLED technologies to demonstrate a novel smart window concept for residential and commercial buildings. By integrating these proprietary technologies with reflective modulating light shuttering techniques, the Company seeks to demonstrate a device that can switch rapidly from being a highly-efficient, solid-state white light source to being transparent for efficient daylight transmission.

      OLED technology has been identified as a promising solid-state lighting technology by the DOE to help meet its energy targets. In a report prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy, over $25 billion per year could be saved by 2025 if new solid-state lighting technologies, such as OLED technology, can be successfully adopted.

      Improving the energy performance of windows is also a primary focus of DOE research. According to the DOE, windows currently consume 3.8 quadrillion Btu`s of energy in the U.S. annually in the form of heating and air conditioning loads, at a cost of more than $30 billion. Through advanced energy-efficient window technologies, the DOE reports that if daylight can be efficiently captured and directed into the building, it may be possible to reduce lighting loads by about 25%, saving one quadrillion Btu`s annually in commercial buildings.

      Combining the Company`s high-efficiency PHOLED technology with a daylight management technique in a smart window creates opportunities for enhanced window functionality as it can provide more energy-efficient white lighting and more effective daylighting control, as needed. In addition to increasing the energy efficiency and functionality of buildings, advances in smart window technology may also enhance the productivity, comfort, and safety of occupants, as well as pave the way to innovations in architectural design and construction.

      " We believe that the use of our high-efficiency white PHOLED and TOLED technologies has the potential to provide innovative and cost-effective smart window solutions for conserving energy in the buildings sector," stated Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display Corporation. " Such innovative approaches are important for driving towards the DOE`s goal of a 50% reduction in electric lighting power consumption by 2020."

      New Display Screen Technology Could Brighten Up Your Portfolio In 2005

      If you recently bought a flashy new flat panel TV or computer monitor, don’t be too smug. In just a few years, dazzling new technology will power digital displays offering much sharper and more colorful screens that eat up even less electricity.

      The emerging technology that will make all this happen is driven by "organic light-emitting diodes," or OLEDs. A fresh way of putting images to screen in commercial apps, the technology may infiltrate displays in all sorts of devices from cell phones and TVs, to products we don’t even know about yet.

      Simply put, OLEDs are carbon-based molecules that produce light when you run an electric current through them. OLEDs offer several advantages over current display screen technologies. Chief among them: They bring better colors, greater brightness, wider viewing angles, lower power consumption, and faster response time which improves video.

      Some History

      While engineers at major consumer electronics companies like Sony have only ramped up efforts to use OLEDs in the past few years, the basis of the technology has actually been around for decades.

      Originally developed by Kodak in the early 1980s, OLED technology got relegated to the back burner when Kodak turned to cost cutting over product development. Years later, others began advancing OLED technology, including a small New Jersey-based company called Universal Display (PANL). Since the early 1990s, it has collaborated with researchers at Princeton University and the University of Southern California to advance OLED technology, developing hundreds of patents in the field.

      Key Joint Ventures

      Today, Universal Display has joint ventures with major consumer products companies from Samsung and Sony, to Seiko Epson, Pioneer and Toyota Industries. In these joint ventures, Universal Display lets partners toy with its technology in the hopes that they can use it to develop superior displays in their gadgets and cars.

      Will they?

      That is the key question.

      Investors sure thought so at the start of 2004. Universal Display stock started the year with a rich premium, trading for around $18 per share. As the year progressed, however, Universal Technology shares deflated, as it became clear nothing was coming out.

      As the stock scraped along the bottom of the range for 2004 in the second half of the year, Universal Display board member Lawrence Lacerte quietly picked up shares. He plunked down $762,000 to buy 95,000 shares between $7 and $9.58 in the past seven months. Most recently, he bought $152,000 worth at the end of January, 2005.

      To me, this is a sign that what was supposed to happen in 2004 has merely been postponed to 2005. Lacerte is worth watching as an insider because he is an astute market timer. While investors were bullish on OLED technology at the start of 2004, Lacerte dumped shares in the $16 to $16.42 range, according to Thomson Financial.

      Developments for 2005

      So what might actually happen this year? The most likely scenario is that consumer products companies will start off small. If things go well, they will put OLED technology in devices like camcorders, digital cameras and personal digital assistants (PDA). That’ll be enough to light up Universal Display shares, as Lacerte seems to think will happen.

      But the real payoff for the company may actually come in 2006 or 2007 if its OLED technology finds its way into products with bigger display screens, like desktop monitors or even TVs. The reason: Universal Display gets a bigger royalty stream out of bigger products like these. So if things pick up in 2005, don’t sell out in the early rallies.

      Meanwhile, the company has fairly decent financial strength that will help it hang on until licensing deals bring home more bacon. That may explain why the stock keeps bouncing off a support level in the low $7 range. The company has $52.5 million in cash and no debt. It pulled in $7.6 million in revenue in 2004. Analysts project that may grow to $12 million in 2005. Revenue comes mainly from government research grants and the sale of testing material used by joint venture partners to develop apps.

      Further down the road, more breakthroughs in OLED tech could bring fresh products like wrist-mounted featherweight PDAs, roll-up portable electronic newspapers that can be refreshed daily, high-resolution portable Internet devices, or high-contrast windshield and instrument displays in cars.

      Bottom line: We don’t know if consumer products companies like Sony or Samsung will actually roll out products this year and generate licensing revenue for Universal Display. Delays are common with new technologies. And competitors are lined up to sign deals as well. But taking a cue from the insider, I’d be a buyer here in the $7.50 range. Then I’d wait for pullbacks to add to positions. Just remember, because OLED is an emerging technology, you shouldn’t buy shares if you don’t have the patience to wait many months for a pay off. On the other hand, since there is no telling when a licensing deal may actually hit, if you believe in the story it doesn’t pay to wait, either.

      eMagin to Present at DisplaySearch US FPD Conference on March 3
      Wednesday March 2, 7:00 am ET


      HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2005--eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA - News), a leader in virtual imaging technology, sees new ways to extend the computer environment for many activities. eMagin`s CEO and President, Gary Jones, will outline how virtual imaging affects "the ways we work and play with our computers" at DisplaySearch`s Seventh Annual US FPD Conference underway this week at the Hilton Torrey Pines in LaJolla, California.
      According to Jones, the promise of virtual imaging in both immersive three-dimensional viewing of and interaction with data, and as a way to carry large high resolution images in very small packages, has gone largely unfulfilled. "Since the mid-90s, individuals, universities, and industry have worked on ways to deliver the 3D virtual world. We`ve seen domes, large screens, handheld viewers, and head-mounted displays. Computing power, graphics rendering, storage, position tracking, and system software have all evolved extensively in recent years, setting the stage for a virtual imaging revolution. What we`ve needed is the core optics and display technology to enable a quality virtual experience or practical portable virtual large screen."

      Citing the evolution of OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technologies, Jones notes that its rapid response and low power requirements hold great promise for seamless virtual imaging. "Coupled with new optics, the display completes the hardware puzzle," says Jones. "Game publishers have been delivering content that can take advantage of these capabilities for some time. As other software publishers see what today`s technology can deliver, we will see applications that enable 3D spread sheets, extended graphics (in 2D and 3D), and multi-window environments. Virtual imaging capabilities can drive a whole new generation of processors and video boards as the potential for virtual computing is realized."

      Jones`s presentation, "Virtual Imaging - Fulfilling the Promise," is scheduled from 10:30 to 11:10 a.m. on Thursday, March 3, 2005. Additional information about the DisplaySearch US FPD Conference is available at http://www.displaysearch.com/usfpd2005/index.html.

      Moin!
      Es gibt seit Januar eine weitere Investitionsmöglichkeit in "Plastikbildschirme": CDT (Cambridge Display Technology) sind mit dem Tickersymbol OLED(!) an die Nasdaq gegangen. Man wollte ursprünglich bis 15 Dollar haben, ging dann mit 12 raus und liegt jetzt um 8 Dollar, also denkbar schlechter Börsenstart. Ich bin noch nicht investiert aber bei dem Preis werde ich langsam schwach. CDT sollte jedem ein Begriff sein, der sich für OLEDs interessiert - die sind schon lange dabei, nur eben bis vor kurzem nicht an der Börse. Seht es Euch doch mal an, Eure Meinungen würde mich sehr interessieren.

      Gute News kann der Kurs ja wahrhaftig gebrauchen - ging heute schon über 20% beim 10-fachen des normalen Umsatzes (und das nach einer Stunde...)
      Und schaut mal auf CDT (siehe mein letzter Beitrag, Nasdaq-Ticker ist übrigens OLED, frech nicht wahr?) - so mies wie der misslungene Börsengang vermuten lässt, sind sie vermutlich nicht. Wenn der Kurs sich jetzt fängt, ist vielleicht ne gute Einstiegsgelegenheit.

      Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. and Universal Display Corporation Announce OLED Patent License Agreement
      Wednesday April 20, 9:05 am ET

      EWING, N.J. & SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2005--Universal Display Corporation:

      Samsung SDI Licenses Universal Display`s Proprietary
      PHOLED(TM) and Other OLED Technologies for Use in
      a Broad Range of Display Products

      Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. (KSE:006400), a leading company in the fields of PDP, CRT and organic light emitting diode (OLED), and Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News), a leading developer of OLED technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other opto-electronic applications, today announced the signing of an OLED patent license agreement. The agreement paves the way for Samsung SDI to integrate Universal Display`s proprietary OLED technologies into Samsung SDI`s active-matrix OLED display products. Samsung SDI is today the largest supplier of passive-matrix OLED displays in the world.

      Samsung SDI intends to introduce Universal Display`s phosphorescent materials and associated technology in Samsung SDI`s initial active-matrix OLED products. PHOLEDs have been shown to be up to four times more efficient than traditional fluorescent OLEDs, which is key for lower power consumption, less heat generation and longer operating lifetimes.

      "UDC`s phosphorescent materials, owing to their overall superiority to fluorescent materials in efficiency and color coordination, will contribute to Samsung SDI to benefit its customers with more visually attractive, much faster, and brighter OLED displays," said Eui Jin Yoo, Vice President and Head of AMOLED Operation Team of Samsung SDI. "The worldwide market for OLED displays is estimated to grow to $5.2 billion in 2008. We also expect that UDC`s PHOLEDs having more saturated colors and cost saving advantages over the traditional fluorescent OLEDs would lead the OLED manufacturers to introduce OLED displays into the market quickly."

      "Samsung SDI is an excellent partner and industry leader," said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display. "We have been working with them for over four years, and we have both made significant progress through our collaboration. We are very excited to enter into the next phase of our relationship with Samsung SDI, as they move forward into volume manufacturing using our proprietary technologies. This licensing agreement is an important moment in the history of Universal Display, Samsung SDI and the entire OLED industry."

      About Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.

      Samsung SDI with 35 years of history is a leading company in the fields of not only the PDP, OLED, Mobile Display but also the CRT that is the initial product of SDI. With the world`s best technology, such as the world`s largest PDP panel of 102 inch, SGS (Super Grain Silicon) technology for OLED, digital-slim tube, Samsung SDI is leading the digital display world.

      Samsung SDI has Seoul headquarters, Corporate R&D center in Kiheung and three domestic plants as well as a world production network of 13 plants based in 7 countries, and it will be the No.1 maker of the display and energy field by enhancing the next generation energy and new material businesses.

      Samsung SDI is strengthening the business management of its community, environment and shareholders gaining respect and recognition by the customers and the fellow companies. The company became the first Korean company selected by Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

      ja in der Tat, fliegende Leichen. Aber die Nachricht birgt schließlich Phantasie und Sprengstoff für die Kurse.
      Schließlich ist es genau die Nachricht, auf die bei PANL alle seit Jahren warten.
      :D
      Allerdings leider mit Schönheitsfehler:
      Für die kommerzielle Anwendung werden dunkelblaue PHOLED´s und nicht wie in der Meldung berichtet "himmelblaue" benötigt, sonst gibt´s keine gute Farbsättigung. Aber wenn die das auch noch hinkriegen, geht´s wirklich ab. Ich kann leider nicht beurteilen, wie schwierig das sein wird. Die Frage ist jetzt, dauert das drei Monate, drei Jahre oder ist die Konkurrenz sowieso schneller?
      Aber 15-20 $ sollten jetzt eigentlich schon mal wieder drin sein!

      Nebenbei: charttechnisch ist der Kurs jetzt frei bis etwa 17-18 Dollar (die Anfang 04 erreicht wurden).
      Zur Handelbarkeit in Deutschland: Ich habe (mit anderen US-Aktien) die Erfahrung gemacht, dass man hier eigentlich faire Kurse gestellt bekommt, auch wenn kaum Volumen da ist. Die paar Cent die man drauf zahlt, sind weniger als die üblichen Tagesschwankungen des Kurses. Einfach mal mit Limit probieren, das klappt schon...

      Universal Display First to Achieve 30 Lumens Per Watt White OLED; Researchers Announce Record-Breaking Power Efficiency Achievement Using Novel Striped Red-Green-Blue OLED Architecture At 2005 SPIE Symposia

      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL), the Company that`s lighting the way in developing and commercializing OLED displays, today announced the demonstration of a white OLED lighting panel with a record power efficiency of 30 lumens per watt (lm/W) using the Company`s PHOLED(TM) phosphorescent OLED technology at The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) Symposia and Exhibition held in San Diego, CA.

      The Company`s record-breaking white OLED performance is based on a novel panel design that consists of an array of red, green and blue colored stripes. Adjusting the intensity of each primary color generates infinite shades of white color, typically characterized by color temperature and color rendering index. Power efficiencies of this 6" x 6" prototype panel were measured at color temperatures between 2,900 and 5,700 degrees Kelvin (K). The record 30 lm/W white OLED power efficiency was achieved at a color temperature of 4,000 K, which is comparable to the color temperature and power efficiency of a cool fluorescent lamp. By comparison, typical incandescent light bulbs emit light at around 15-20 lm/W with a color temperature of 2,900 K. This panel can also operate very brightly. For example, this 6" x 6" panel produced 150 lumens of optical power, at an efficiency of 15 lm/W and 3,700 K color temperature. The record performance of this novel OLED panel is also based on the Company`s proprietary PHOLED technology which enables very high efficiency of the constituent red, green and blue stripes. In addition, the color rendering index was greater than 80 across the measured color temperatures because of the broad spectral output of the combined colors.

      Lighting consumes approximately 765 trillion Watt-hours (TWh) of electricity each year in the United States, or nearly 30% of all electricity produced for buildings. This translates into a cost of almost $58 billion per year for consumers to light their homes, offices, streets, and factories, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Increasing the efficiency of lighting by a small amount has the potential to generate tremendous savings in both cost and energy use. The development of this white-emitting OLED lighting panel is an important step in this direction.

      This advance was reported in a paper, entitled "Phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices for solid-state lighting," presented at the SPIE Optics and Photonics 2005 Symposia, on Monday, August 1st, by Dr. Brian D`Andrade, Senior Scientist at Universal Display, at the San Diego Convention Center. This work was partially funded by a U.S. Department of Energy Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant.

      "By harnessing the efficient nature of our proprietary phosphorescent OLED technology in a novel device architecture, we have been able to demonstrate record-breaking power efficiencies in white OLED devices," stated Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display. "This advance is an important milestone toward the future adoption of white OLEDs for lighting applications such as those envisioned under our U.S. Department of Energy research contracts."

      @fruehrentner (wär ich auch gerne ;-)

      So genau kann ich das nicht beantworten, aber ich habe bei Consors (Aktie suchen, dann Chartanzeige und dann noch Volumen anklicken) mal nachgesehen, wo am meisten Umsatz für UDC stattfindet: in Frankfurt, ziemlich regelmäßig bis 2000 Stück pro Tag, Käufe und Verkäufe.
      Die US-Umsätze haben sich übrigens in letzter Zeit etwa verzehnfacht, früher waren es einige Zehntausend täglich, heute sind es Hunderttausende.

      August 5, 2005

      Let`s face it, there`s nothing cooler than being the first to find companies participating in futuristic advances. Of course, some of these hipster companies -- the ones that most people haven`t even heard of -- will provide some pretty cool returns for investors who can spot them early.

      A "coolhunter" is someone who looks for trends and fads early on, identifying them before they become commonplace -- someone who was a first adopter of the Apple iPod, for example, probably realized that this gadget was going to graduate to supercool. A stock-picking coolhunter is looking for the companies that are gearing up to blow the doors off old conventions and jumpstart brand-new industries with mind-blowing technological innovations. But where do you go looking for them?

      Our Rule Breakers team is all about such cool industry spaces. When it comes to stock ideas, what`s known as the Rule Breaker Universe (available through our Motley Fool Rule Breakers newsletter advisory service) is a collection of stock ideas and concepts culled from forward-looking arenas such as biotech, nanotech, the Internet, and other plays on the future.

      This watch list, which is posted on the Rule Breakers site and updated on a regular basis, not only includes companies that have shown themselves to be Rule Breakers in the past, but it also functions as a repository for ultimate growth stocks that may be in their infancy. To that end, obviously these are not all official newsletter recommendations -- many may never be -- but it`s a dynamic list of stocks that fit within the matrix of what a Rule Breaking company is. In addition, the list contains stocks that our analysts have found, as well as suggestions from our own community (if you have any ideas of your own, they`re always welcome).

      One stock from the Universe struck my attention the other day. I`d never heard of Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL) before it was an official Rule Breakers recommendation, but it is extremely interesting. It speaks to all of the futuristic potential that could make a young Rule Breaker graduate to greatness.

      Science fiction or science fact?
      Universal Display specializes in organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology. That may mean nothing to you, but think how the electronic displays of products will evolve. I`m not going to dive into the details of this technology here (I`m no scientist, to say the least, and there`s a good description of how it works in the June issue of Rule Breakers). The end result, however, we can all understand: We`re talking transparent, flexible, feather-light, energy-efficient electronic displays.

      Think, for instance, about an electronic newspaper. Instead of a messy newsprint pile in your hallway, you`re reading news stories on a paper-thin screen that is refreshable on a daily basis and rolls up just like a traditional newspaper. Or office walls and windows that serve double duty as computer screens? Universal Display hopes its OLEDs will make a far-ranging list of products possible, including lightweight, wrist-mounted PDAs; wearable electronic displays; color-changing lighting panels and walls for homes and offices; super lightweight television monitors for walls; and smart goggles and helmets for scuba divers and motorcycle riders.

      These are innovations many of us might still find a little too futuristic, but the future is coming and nobody can stop it. Market research firms DisplaySearch and iSuppli estimate that the OLED market may exceed $800 million in 2005 but zoom rapidly past $2 billion in 2008.

      When you think of consumer electronics, these displays can be used in all the big-deal, whiz-bang gadgets and gizmos that people love: mobile phone main and sub-displays, car audio systems, digital cameras, PDAs, DVD players, handheld TVs, notebook PCs, and industrial applications.

      The writing is on the wall
      There`s a lot to like about Universal Display -- first and foremost, the strength of its intellectual property. The company owns or licenses 625 patents that are issued or pending worldwide. Universal doesn`t actually manufacture the displays; rather, it licenses the technology to other companies and some parts of the U.S. government. Samsung SDI, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Energy, Sony (NYSE: SNE), Tohoku Pioneer, Epson, and Toyota Industries are some of the organizations that Universal Display has sold its technology or licenses to or entered into research agreements with for funding.

      Breaking the rules, of course, often implies more than a small degree of risk. And there are plenty in the OLED market. For one thing, there are plenty of businesses trying to develop LCD and plasma technologies that achieve some of the same benefits that OLEDs do, although Universal says it believes OLED display technology overcomes existing limitations of other technologies.

      Another risk is the high-profile competition it faces -- as in so many other industries, partners are sometimes also rivals. Competitors include Sony, Sharp, Fujitsu, Samsung Electronics -- all of which have deep pockets. Other competitors include Seiko Epson, Fuji Film (Nasdaq: FUJIY), Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW), DuPont (NYSE: DD) Displays, and many more. They will each be licensing patents from either Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK), the pioneers of small-molecule OLED technology (also known as SMOLEDs), or Cambridge Display Technology (Nasdaq: OLED), which has a competing OLED technology that uses polymers (known as P-OLEDs) rather than small molecules.

      Granted, like most Rule Breakers, Universal Display still has its share of speculative elements. It continues to shell out for research and developing spending, so it`s not yet profitable (I see this as a must for a company like this). What makes Universal so exciting is the huge market opportunity in OLEDs as new applications for its technology -- from the relatively mundane to the downright futuristic -- emerge.

      On the other hand, as of its latest quarter, Universal had ample cash on its balance sheet, with very little debt. These aspects offset some of the risks of a company that is still setting the stage for its foray into what it hopes will be exploding sales and profits.

      In search of ... supercool
      Ultratech. Ziprealty. Viisage Technology. These are likely stocks you haven`t heard of yet, but they are the kinds of stocks that reside within the Rule Breaker Universe. We watch them and chat them up (or talk them down) on the Rule Breaker discussion boards -- while constantly seeking out new stock ideas that very likely have never hit your investing radar. And one day, when they fulfill all the criteria that our analysts require, some -- like Universal Display -- will graduate to being full-blown recommendations for high-growth returns. You can join our Rule Breakers service for 30 days -- for free -- by clicking here.

      One day, not so far away, when you`re consulting the PDA that you`re wearing on your wrist, rolling up your refreshable newspaper until the next day`s morning headlines, or relaxing on your couch playing computer games on your wall, you very well could have a Rule Breaker to thank, you coolhunter, you.

      Universal Display Corporation Awarded DOE SBIR Contract for Solid-State White Lighting
      Thursday August 4, 4:05 pm ET
      New Phase I Contract to Employ Universal Display`s Proprietary PHOLED(TM) and OVPD(TM) Technologies to Improve Brightness and Efficiency of White OLEDs


      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2005-- Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News), the Company that`s lighting the way in developing and commercializing OLED technology for displays, lighting and other opto-electronics, announced today that it has been awarded a nine-month, $98,894 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The goal of this new program is to demonstrate an innovative approach to increase the brightness and power efficiency of white OLED lighting using Universal Display`s proprietary PHOLED(TM) phosphorescent OLED and OVPD(TM) Organic Vapor Phase Deposition technologies.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      In this program entitled, "High Efficiency White Mesh Phosphorescent OLEDs," the Company will work to increase OLED efficiency and brightness by employing novel emissive layer architectures that are enabled through the use of its proprietary OVPD process technology.

      Pioneered by Princeton University, OVPD technology is providing the basis for next-generation OLED production equipment that can deposit high-quality, organic films with better performance and at lower cost than those achieved using conventional vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE). One of the features of OVPD is its ability to deposit highly-precise film structures that are typically very difficult to achieve with VTE. This feature enables the exploration of these novel structures for high-efficiency white OLED lighting. In addition, OVPD has the potential to be a very cost-effective manufacturing approach for large-area, low-cost white OLEDs, which will be critical for general lighting applications. Equipment based on Universal Display`s OVPD technology is sold by Aixtron AG, of Aachen, Germany, under an exclusive license from Universal Display.

      As general lighting is responsible for more than 20% of the energy consumption in the U.S., new broadband white-lighting sources such as OLEDs are sought to offer significant gains in power efficiency and color quality while having less environmental impact than traditional incandescent and fluorescent lights. Today, OLEDs are a promising emerging technology for flat panel displays, with recent product introductions in portable cell phones and MP3 players. Many of the features that are desired for displays are also making OLED technology of great interest to the solid-state lighting community. OLEDs combine bright, pleasing white color with excellent power efficiency at low voltages. Using technologies such as OVPD, they may also enjoy low manufacturing costs - a critical attribute for general lighting applications.

      "We are very excited to continue our work for the U.S. Department of Energy with the addition of this new contract," stated Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display Corporation. "We believe that OLED technology, and more specifically our PHOLED technology, in combination with OVPD manufacturing technology, holds vast implications for the future of solid-state lighting. This award brings us one step closer to realizing the impact that power efficiency in combination with low manufacturing costs will have on this market."

      Universal Display Kursziel 20 USD

      Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" sehen für die Aktie von Universal Display (ISIN US91347P1057/ WKN 917585) mittelfristiges Kurspotenzial bis 20 US-Dollar. Bereits vor drei Wochen hätten die Experten über dieses Unternehmen berichtet, nachdem Universal Display einen Durchbruch in der Entwicklung von Phosphoreszenz-Farbdioden gemeldet habe. Dies sei jedoch längst nicht alles gewesen. So sei Mitte vergangener Woche noch die Meldung gekommen, dass man auch im Bereich für Diodentechnik für weißes Licht einen neuen Rekord habe aufstellen können. Die beiden Meldungen würden eindrucksvoll unterstreichen, welchen Stand an technologischer Führerschaft das Unternehmen einnehme. Dies sei im Markt auch umgehend mit neuen Jahreshochs von 13,40 US-Dollar belohnt worden. Bis zur 15 US-Dollar-Marke habe die Aktie aus technischer Sicht erst einmal Luft. Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" sehen für die Aktie von Universal Display ein mittelfristiges Kursziel von 20 US-Dollar. Deren Erreichen entspräche einer Kursverdreifachung innerhalb des aktuellen Jahres. Auf diesem Niveau sollten Anleger Gewinnmitnahmen anvisieren.

      Universal Display Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2005 Financial Results

      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL), a leading developer of Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, today announced its unaudited results of operations for the second quarter of 2005.

      Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $3,011,995, compared to $1,472,023 in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in revenues was mainly attributable to increased contract research revenue and development chemical revenue.

      Universal Display reported a net loss of $3,189,980 (or $0.11 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $4,520,272 (or $0.17 per share) for the same quarter in 2004. The decrease in the net loss was primarily attributable to increased revenues during the second quarter.

      Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 were $4,479,062, compared to $3,602,013 for the same period in 2004. The Company`s net loss was $8,180,882 (or $0.29 per share), compared to a net loss of $8,627,874 (or $0.33 per share) for the same period in 2004.

      Net cash used in operating activities was $811,611 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1,957,029 for the same period in 2004. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,984,586 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $3,862,887 for the same period in 2004. The decreases were mainly due to increased revenues, increased deferred license fees, and increased deferred revenue offset to some extent by increased total operating costs.

      "The results for the quarter reflect increased interest in our OLED technology. This interest was reinforced by the signing of an OLED patent license agreement with Samsung SDI paving the way for Samsung SDI to integrate our PHOLED technology into active-matrix displays," said Sidney Rosenblatt, Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display Corporation.

      Moin,
      ;)
      die Aktie von EMA könnte fast schon ein Kauf sein, auch technisch wohl so langsam eine Gegenbewegung fällig!
      :)
      Die Aktie ist auch nicht mehr zu teuer, aber auch immer noch nicht ein Schnäppchen. Leider eiß ich zu wenig über EMA, traue mich daher nicht so recht.
      :rolleyes:
      Vor allem wird denen aber das Geld knapp, ohne Infusion durch durch KE oder "private placement", Wandelanleihen o.ä. wird die Luft bereits nach einem Jahr oder so knapp werden...

      Bin ja schon risikofreudig, aber in diesem Falle? Interessant auch die Mega-Umsatzdoublette in der Aktie vor einiger Zeit.

      Mal sehn, vielleicht kaufe ich ein paar.

      PANL halte ich weiter, kaufe aber momentan auch nicht zu!

      In einem Thread über CDT habe ich drei aktuelle Artikel gefunden, die verständlich beschreiben, um was es bei OLEDs eigentlich geht, wie der aktuelle Stand der Technik ist und wie es um die mittelfristigen Aussichten bestellt ist. Nix neues für regelmäßige Leser unseres Threads, aber wir wollen ja nicht auf Dauer unter uns bleiben ;)

      VDI nachrichten, Düsseldorf, 9. 9. 05

      Europa muss die Kräfte bündeln
      von WERNER SCHULZ

      Displays: EU beginnt die Displaytechnik als strategische Ressource zu begreifen - Adria plädiert für eine europäische Display-Industrie

      Bildanzeigen aus organischen Leuchtdioden, kurz OLED, sind ein attraktives Augenfutter. An den kontrastreich und hell strahlenden Displays entzündet sich die Phantasie zukunftsfreudiger Designer von Handys und MP3-Playern und, in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft, von PC- und Videoschirmen. OLED beflügeln aber auch die Visionen ehrgeiziger Wirtschaftsstrategen: Sie sehen in ihnen (endlich) wieder einen nachhaltigen Produktionsstoff für ihre ausgelaugten nationalen Industriestandorte.

      OLED erfreuen sich in Deutschland seit Beginn dieses Jahres besonderer Berliner Gunst: An die 100 Mio. € will das Bundesforschungsministerium BMBF über fünf Jahre als Innovationsanstoß an öffentlichen Mitteln beisteuern - wenn sich eine Reihe industrieller Partner, darunter Merck, Osram OS, Philips und Samsung, bereit findet, ihrerseits das Zehnfache zu investieren.

      OLED für Displays und Beleuchtungszwecke ist das Ziel von " OLED 2012" . Die " optischen Technologien" sind schließlich eine traditionelle Schlüsseldisziplin der deutschen Industrie und verzeichnen zweistellige Wachstumsraten.

      Also rein in die OLED-Technik, und zwar schnell. Verglichen mit den ubiquitären LCD-Displays ist der Weltmarkt für OLED allerdings noch winzig: Im ersten Quartal 2005 haben die (laut Marktforscher Displaysearch) fünf führenden Hersteller - sie versorgen 80 % des Weltmarkts - erstmals einen kumulativen Umsatz von 100 Mio. $ verbuchen können. Spitzenreiter ist Samsung mit 28 Mio. $, vor RiTdisplay mit 19,2 Mio. $.

      Der OLED-Markt ist in einer zarten Anfangsphase: Beinahe alle Displays sind derzeit vom Passivmatrix-Typ, eine Technik, die LCDs längst überwunden haben. Und sie sind kleinformatig - als Subdisplays für Handys und MP3-Player. Richtig abheben wird der Markt erst mit den Aktivmatrix-OLED-Displays (AMOLED), bei denen jedes Pixel der Displaymatrix aktiv angesteuert werden kann. Vielleicht kommt das schon 2006.

      Letztes Jahr hat sich die Zahl der OLED-Anbieter von sechs auf mehr als zwanzig erhöht. Der Jahresmarkt, sagt Kimberly Allen vom kalifornischen Marktforscher iSuppli, wird heuer die 600-Mio.-$-Marke überspringen. Die erste Milliarde, sieht sie voraus, wird im nächsten Jahr genommen.

      Viele der OLED-Anbieter, weiß Allen, sind auch LCD-Anbieter. Sie kommen also mit einem Startvorsprung und warten aktiv ab, wie sich Technologie und Märkte entwickeln.

      " Der Anstieg des OLED-Markts wird somit zur strategischen Planungssache anstelle des Szenarios LCD versus OLED." Denkbar ist aber auch, meint Allen, dass die AMOLED zunächst ihre Nische in industriellen und Automobilanwendungen finden. Da wären die Europäer besser positioniert.

      Wo steht Europa also heute, realistisch gesehen? Immer noch mit einem Bein im F&E-Labor und mit dem Kopf im strategischen Ränkeschmieden: Forschungsförderung und Roadmapping der Technologieentwicklung.

      Im Fertigungsequipment sind die Japaner dank ihres First-Mover-Advantage durch jahrzehntelanges Investieren in die LCDs gut aufgestellt, konstatiert Allen in dem neuesten " OLED Equipment Special Report" .

      Höchste Zeit also für die Europäer, die Kräfte zu bündeln, wenn sie bei den OLED nachholen wollen, was sie bei der LCD-Massenfertigung verpasst haben, sagt Eric Maiser vom VDMA. Maiser koordiniert die europäische Netzwerk-Initiative Adria (advanced display research integration action). Adria schließt auch die OLED ein.

      Europa hat zumindest bei der OLED-Strukturierung (" stack" ) einen definitiven Vorsprung, hebt Maiser hervor. Dafür klafft eine offene Flanke bei den Backplanes - Kooperation mit asiatischen Partnern ist ein Muss. Irgendwann sollte Adria, sagt Maiser, zu einem Verband mutieren - wie das amerikanische USDC (U.S. Display Consortium) - und dann gezielt eigene Projekte auflegen.

      Im 7. EU-Rahmenprogramm (2007 bis 2014) sollen die OLED-Displays auf jeden Fall eine größere Rolle spielen. Dazu werden derzeit Technologieplattformen definiert - im Wechselspiel konkurrierender Verbandsinteressen nicht immer ein einfacher Prozess.

      Schließlich gibt es noch das Paris-basierte Epic (European Photonics Industry Consortium) mit 55 Mitgliedern, selbst Teil des größeren EU-Programms " Opera 2015" . Dort sind auch Eurom, Eureka, Eos und Spie als Fördergremien aufgehängt. Eine vielfach verzahnte und geschichtete Struktur.

      Ist es realistisch, künftige Massenprodukte für die Displaytechnik in Europa zu produzieren? Auf jeden Fall, insistiert Maiser. " Die LCDs sind uns vor langer Zeit davongelaufen. Doch bei den OLED sind die Karten günstiger gemischt."

      Europa sei über alle Maßen erfolgreich in Werkzeugmaschinen und Materialien. Warum nicht in zukünftigen Displaytechnologien, die auf diesen Positionen basieren? Der Schlüssel, sagt Maiser, liege im industriellen Feedback der kurzen Wege zwischen F&E und Fertigung. In Zukunft, so Maiser, brauche jede Innovation eine lokale Fertigungsbasis: " Der Gesamtprozess muss transparent sein."

      Erfolgsbeispiel Halbleiterfertigung: Da hält Europa immerhin 10 % bis 13 % Weltmarktanteil. Das reiche, sagt Maiser, zum Innovieren beim Equipment. " So etwas müssen wir auch bei den Displays aufbauen."

      OLED-BELEUCHTUNG

      Blau macht eher schlapp als weiß

      Von Niels Kruse

      OLEDs, kleinste Kunststofflämpchen, sollen das traute Heim revolutionieren. Millimeterdünne Videotapeten etwa könnten Wohnzimmer zieren, Eierwärmer zeigen die Nachrichten zum Frühstück. Die Technik ist bereits im Einsatz, doch Forscher kämpfen noch mit manchen Widrigkeiten der winzigen Leuchten.
      Hamburg - Immobilienmakler mit begrenztem Portfolio werden aufatmen. " In Zukunft brauchen Wohnungen keinen Seeblick mehr, um potenzielle Mieter zu verzücken." Die schöne Aussicht kommt via intelligenter Wandfarbe ins traute Heim. " Wir werden dann unsere Wände mit OLED-Nanofarbe streichen."

      Das jedenfalls ist die Vision von Thomas Emde. Sollte der Lichtkünstler Recht behalten, ändert die selbstilluminierende Raumabtrennung nicht nur die Farbe wunschgemäß und auf Kommando, sie kann ebenso als TV- und, falls es sie dann noch gibt, auch als Bildschirm für Computer dienen. Oder eben als raumfüllende Projektionsfläche für Motive aller Art.

      " Die Entwicklung von Nanofarbe halte ich zwar nicht für unmöglich, aber für eher unwahrscheinlich" , sagt dagegen Karl Leo, Professor für Optoelektronik an der Technischen Universität Dresden gegenüber manager-magazin.de. Was allerdings nicht grundsätzlich gegen Emdes Wand-Visionen spricht. In zehn, fünfzehn Jahren sieht auch Leo Wunschfarben, Urlaubsbilder oder Tagesschau in vielen Wohnzimmern direkt vom Mauerwerk aus strahlen. Ermöglichen sollen das so genannte Videotapeten aus OLEDs. Die Abkürzung OLED steht für " Organic Light Emitting Diode" , also für organische, Licht emittierende Dioden.

      Filme auf T-Shirts, Autos oder Vasen

      Jörg Amelung, Photophysiker am Fraunhofer Institut für photonische Mikrosysteme, schildert die möglichen Anwendungen für OLEDs in den buntesten Farben: Weil die kleinen Leuchtpunkte so winzig sind, könnten irgendwann ganze Filme auf T-Shirts laufen oder auf Autos oder auf Vasen. Fenster sind mal transparent, mal Monitor. Eierwärmer zeigen die neuesten Nachrichten zum Frühstück. In absehbarer Zeit sei das alles denkbar, sagt Amelung. Bis dahin allerdings haben die Forscher noch eine ganze Menge Probleme zu lösen.
      Die ersten, einfachen OLED-Bildschirme kamen 1999 auf den Markt - als Displays für japanische Autoradios. Mittlerweile blinken und leuchten weltweit rund 17 Millionen Kunststofffolien in vielen Bereichen des Alltags. Sony wird in den kommenden Wochen einen PDA mit OLED-Monitor auf den Markt bringen, den ersten Prototypen eines nur zwei Millimeter dünnen Farbfernsehers haben die Japaner gerade vorgestellt. Doch noch liegt der OLED-Umsatz mit weltweit 300 Millionen Euro im überschaubaren Rahmen.

      Marktvolumen von zwei bis drei Milliarden Dollar

      Marktforscher aber glauben, dass die Technik in fünf Jahren ein Marktvolumen von zwei bis drei Milliarden Dollar habe werde. Der Branchendienst " OLED Technology Report" hat errechnet, dass der Markt für OLEDs im vergangenen Jahr um 127 Prozent gewachsen ist.
      Bis 2008 soll er im Schnitt 68 Prozent jährlich zulegen. Mit 73 Prozent Marktanteil haben die beiden Unternehmen Pioneer und Samsung bisher klar die Nase vorn.

      Auch die Forscher von General Electric forschen emsig an der Entwicklung von OLEDs. Erst jüngst gelang ihnen ein Durchbruch. Die Amerikaner haben ein Display mit den Maßen 24 mal 24 Zoll (61 Zentimeter) entwickelt - das bisher größte seiner Art. Spektakulär ist dabei die Lichtausbeute. Mit 1200 Lumen hat es die gleiche Leuchtkraft wie eine 100-Watt-Glühlampe, der Stromverbrauch jedoch ist deutlich geringer.

      Billiger, schneller, kleiner

      Und nicht nur diese Tatsache ist es, die den Einsatz der Leuchtdioden so attraktiv macht. Die Mikrolämpchen sind deutlich energieeffizienter als bisher benutzte Leuchten. Zudem ermöglichen sie - als Bildschirm verwendet - eine deutlich schnellere Reaktionszeit als etwa die heute üblichen LEDs, haben einen größeren Betrachtungswinkel und benötigen keine Hintergrundbeleuchtung, also weniger Platz, und sind entsprechend billiger in der Herstellung.

      " Bewegtbilder, wie zum Beispiel beim Fernsehen, sind deshalb auch die Paradeanwendungen für OLEDs" , sagt Forscher Leo. Langfristig gelten sie als perfekter Ersatz für heute bekannte Techniken zur Bilddarstellung. Die papierdünnen Lichtquellen eignen sich als Computer-, Fernseh- und Handydisplay. Oder als Büro- und Wohnzimmerbeleuchtung.
      Blau macht eher schlapp als weiß

      Allerdings macht vor allem ein Problem den Entwicklern derzeit noch zu schaffen: Die Lebensdauer liegt weit hinter denen herkömmlicher Produkte zurück. 1985, als der Hongkonger Chemiker Ching Tang die ersten OLEDs entwickelte, leuchteten sie gerade einmal wenige Minuten. Mittlerweile werden bis zu 200.000 Stunden erreicht. Nur leider nicht für jede Farbe, so Leo. Blau zum Beispiel macht eher schlapp als Weiß. " Nach einigen hundert Stunden Betriebsdauer hätte man also unschöne Farbverzerrungen."
      Zwischen 50.000 bis 100.000 Stunden aber muss ein Fernseher heutzutage störungsfrei flimmern können - soweit sind die Leuchtplastik-Forscher aber noch nicht. Zumal noch nicht alle physikalischen OLED-Phänomene durchschaut sind, wie Leo einräumt. " Da hilft nur empirische Forschung" , flachst der Professor. Im Klartext bedeutet das: Noch ist man in einigen Bereichen der Forschung nicht über das Trial-and-Error-Stadium hinaus.

      Und es gibt weitere Probleme. Bislang kostet die Herstellung kleinerer OLED-Bildschirme das Zwei- bis Dreifache heute üblicher LED-Displays. Ein Grund dafür sind die hohen Produktionskosten. Die Herstellung der Bildschirme erfolgt unter Reinstraumbedingungen. Denn die Strukturen, mit denen es die Entwickler zu tun haben, sind so winzig, dass jedes Ministaubkorn ein ganzes Display funktionsunfähig machen würde. Jede einzelne OLED muss daher vollständig versiegelt sein, damit Außeneinflüsse wie Wasser und Sauerstoff nicht die empfindliche Technik stören.

      Knicken und Biegen für die Dateneingabe

      Flexible OLEDs, zum Beispiel für faltbare, elektronische und papierdünne Zeitungen sind zwar das Ziel nahezu aller Forscher. Wegen der Empfindlichkeit des Leuchtkunststoffes ist diese Vision aber kaum zu verwirklichen, glaubt Karl Leo. Denn es gibt bisher noch kein Material, dass flexibel genug wäre, um die OLED ausreichend zu schützen.
      Immerhin haben Wissenschaftler der Sony Interaction Labors bereits ein Gerät entwickelt, bei dem die Dateneingabe über Knicken und Biegen des Displays möglich sein soll. Ein Prototyp namens Gummi verfügt bereits über die entsprechenden, wenngleich rudimentären, Eigenschaften. OLEDs allerdings sind bei Gummi noch nicht zum Einsatz gekommen. Das werde der nächste Schritt sein, haben die Japaner angekündigt.

      Sollten die Entwickler in den nächsten Jahren ihre Vorstellungen realisieren können, dann steht uns nicht nur die Videotapete ins Haus. Auch OLED-beschichtete Fenster, T-Shirts und Kühlschranktüren wären möglich. Von Computer-, TV- und Handydisplays ganz abgesehen - ein Markt, mit dem schon jetzt mehr als 40 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr umgesetzt werden.


      2004-11-16, Financial Times Deutschland

      Bildschirm aus dem Drucker

      Monitorentwickler entdecken die Tintenstrahltechnik. Displays aus Plastik werden immer billiger.

      Jeremy Burroughes hatte gerade seine Doktorarbeit an der Uni Cambridge abgegeben. Über Polymere hatte er geforscht, eine Kunststoffart aus langen Molekülen. Nun untersuchte der Physiker, wie gut das Plastik Strom isoliert. " Dafür legten wir immer mehr Spannung an. Plötzlich leuchtete der Kunststoff grün auf" , erinnert er sich. Taghell war es im Labor, doch das Licht war nicht zu übersehen. Dass seine Zufallsentdeckung einmal der Bildschirmtechnik auf die Sprünge helfen sollte, konnte Burroughes 1989 nicht ahnen. Heute gelten seine leuchtenden Polymere als vielversprechende Grundlage für preisgünstige Großdisplays.

      Die Kunststoffmoleküle aus Cambridge gehören zu den " organischen Leuchtdioden" , kurz OLED. Sie geben Licht von sich, sobald man eine elektrische Spannung an sie anlegt. Bereits 1982 hatte Kodak die ersten OLEDs präsentiert, basierend auf vergleichsweise kurzen Molekülen. Das Problem: Um aus ihnen ein Display zu bauen, müssen sie in Vakuumkammern auf Träger aufgedampft werden - ein relativ teures Unterfangen. Eine andere Hürde haben die Entwickler inzwischen gemeistert: Zu Anfang verblassten die Winzlinge mit der Zeit. Mittlerweile schaffen auch die schwierigen blauen Leuchtdioden eine Lebensdauer von 200.000 Stunden - ein Dauerleuchten von fast 23 Jahren.

      1999 wurde die Technik für Mini-Displays marktreif: Die Industrie präsentierte das erste Autoradio mit OLED-Display. Es folgten Handys und Digitalkameras. Doch Bildschirme für Laptops oder TV-Geräte gibt es noch nicht zu kaufen. Der Grund: Es ist schlicht zu teuer, große Monitore mittels Aufdampftechnik herzustellen. Genau hier kommen Burroughes’ Polymere ins Spiel. Anders als die kurzmolekularen Leuchtdioden sind die langkettigen Polymere wasserlöslich. Daher können sich Bildschirmhersteller eine Polymerflüssigkeit mixen und sie mit einer Art Tintenstrahldrucker auftragen. Dieses Verfahren ist billiger und funktioniert im Prinzip für alle Bildschirmgrößen. Kürzlich hat Epson den Rekord für OLED-Prototypen von 20 auf 40 Zoll Bildschirmdiagonale verdoppelt - groß genug für einen Breitbildfernseher.

      Außer Epson arbeiten Philips, Samsung, Dow Chemical und die Siemens-Tochter Osram an den Polymeren. Das Patent hält Cambridge Display Technologies (CDT), ein Spin-off der Universität Cambridge mit Jeremy Burroughes als Cheftechniker. Noch dieses Jahr will das Unternehmen an die amerikanische Technologie-Börse Nasdaq. " Wir sehen erhebliche Kostenvorteile" , sagt Osram-Sprecherin Marion Reichl. Hans Driessen aus der Philips-Forschung lobt: " Man braucht weniger Kapital und erzielt mehr Ausbeute."

      Philips hat bereits einen Rasierer mit Polymer-Akkuanzeige und ein Handy mit Plastikdisplay auf dem Markt. Beide sind einfarbig. Denn die Polymer-OLEDs haben dasselbe Problem wie einst ihre kurzmolekularen Kollegen: Vor allem die blauen Leuchtdioden verblassen zu schnell. Zwar hat CDT inzwischen blaue OLEDs mit immerhin 70.000 Stunden Lebensdauer konstruiert. Im Verbund mit anderen Farben aber genügt das nicht: Während das restliche Display noch munter leuchtet, schwächeln die blauen Punkte, und das Bild des Farbbildschirms wird schnell gelbstichig.

      2005 will Philips die ersten Vollfarb-Polymerdisplays auf den Markt bringen. Sie sollen 2000 Stunden lang zu gebrauchen sein. Nach Philips’ Ansicht ist das genug für Klapphandys, deren Innendisplay sowieso meist abgedimmt ist. In ein paar Jahren soll die Lebensdauer auch für Fernsehgeräte reichen.

      Auch die Macher der kurzmolekularen OLEDs erkennen die Vorteile der Polymere an. Zwar gebe es aus kurzen Molekülen schon Farbdisplays im Markt, sie seien stabiler und besser reproduzierbar, sagt der Dresdner Physiker Karl Leo. " Doch im Bereich größerer Displays sind Polymere wahrscheinlich besser." Ähnlich schätzt der Chefphysiker der OLED-Schmiede Novaled, Jan Birnstock, die Polymere ein: " Der Beweis, dass sie funktionieren, steht noch aus. Aber viel Zeit lassen sie uns nicht mehr."

      Wie hoch der Preisvorteil der Polymere ausfallen wird, wagt noch niemand zu sagen. Zurzeit machen die langen Moleküle nach Auskunft der Marktforschung Isuppli nur vier Prozent des ohnehin kleinen OLED-Markts aus - zu wenig, um Kostenersparnisse in der Massenproduktion zu beziffern. Erst 2007 würden dazu genügend Polymere hergestellt, schätzt Isuppli-Analystin Kimberly Allen. Dann könnte das leuchtende Plastik mit den heute verwendeten Flüssigkristalldisplays (LCDs) konkurrieren. Immerhin sind OLED-Bildschirme dünner und leichter als LCDs, zudem brauchen sie weniger Strom. Bis 2010 soll sich der weltweite Umsatz mit OLED-Monitoren Isuppli zufolge auf 3,5 Mrd. $ pro Jahr verachtfachen.

      Dann soll die Entwicklung so weit sein, dass die Leuchtdioden ihre ganzen Vorteile ausspielen: Die Displays sind dünner als ein Haar und passen auf biegsame Unterlagen. Sie bleiben im ausgeschalteten Zustand transparent und würden sich deshalb auch auf Glas gut machen. Philips-Forscher denken an hauchdünne Fernseher, die an der Wand hängen und unsichtbar werden, sobald man sie ausschaltet. Auch OLED-Schichten auf Fensterglas könnten begehrt sein: Dann zeigt das Fenster bei Regen auf Knopfdruck ein Strandmotiv.

      Moin,

      der link unten führt zu interessanten News: Es gibt entscheidende Fortschritte hinsichtlich Leuchtdichte und Haltbarkeit beim "Problemkind", den blauen OLEDs. Für Techniker:
      "Universal Display`s new blue PHOLED system with sky blue color of CIE (0.16, 0.37) now offers luminous efficiency of 20 candelas per ampere (cd/A) and 100,000 hours of operating lifetime at 200 candelas per square meter (cd/m2)."

      Und dann gibts noch einen neuen Vertrag mit der Army (wobei ich mich über sowas nicht so recht freuen kann)

      Ich hör schon leise das Totenglöckchen für die LCD-Technik bimmeln ...

      Hallo,
      ich gehöre ja auch zu den OLED gläubigen, aber
      sky blue color of CIE (0.16, 0.37) taugt nichts für vollfarbdisplays, höchtents für Beleuchtungsquellen
      und die Lebensdauer ist auch nicht so berauschend.

      Bis OLEDS zur LCD Konkurrenz werden, werden wohl noch 5-10 Jahre vergehen. Ich denke OLEDs werden sich in den nächsten Jahren eine stark wachsenden Anteil für "mobile
      applications" holen MP3 und Handy etc. Aber die Großformate werden den LCDs noch einige Jahre gehören.
      Das große Problem momentan für die OLEDs ist die Lebensdauer, der Produktionsausbeute und der harte
      Preiskampf durch die billigen LCDs.

      Hallo Hans, kannst Du folgende Aussage erläutern:

      The Company has also made significant progress in the demonstration of deeper blue performance. Mr. Rosenblatt will present a proprietary new blue PHOLED with CIE (0.16, 0.29), excellent luminous efficiency of 21 cd/A and over 17,500 hours of operating lifetime at 200 cd/m2. This corresponds to over 3,000 hours at 500 cd/m2, a target luminance for commercial applications.

      Ist (0.16, 0.29) nun besser oder schlechter als (0.16, 0.37) ?
      Zur Leuchtdichte: Die ist mit 200 cd/m2 ja nicht schlecht, aktuelle LCDs haben 250. Und machbar sind ja offenbar auch 500 cd/m2, aber die Lebensdauer scheint mit steigender Leuchtdichte rapide abzunehmen.
      Zur Haltbarkeit: Vielleicht hat Mr. Rosenblatt ja recht:
      "Now that we have cracked the code on creating long-lived blue PHOLEDs"

      Ja! die 2te Zahl ist der y- Wert. 016/0.29 ist aber immer noch nicht tiefbalu. Sondern maximal Himmelbalu

      Hier ein paar zusätzliche Infos:

      Ein vernüpftiges Blau für Vollfarbanwendunggen hat mindestens y=0.15

      Absturz wegen Quartals(!)zahlen: wie ein US-Analyst richtig bemerkt, sind Quartalszahlen keine Grundlage für die Bewertung einer Firma wie PANL, aber zittrige Hände sind ja wohl zum Normalfall an der Börse geworden.
      Was die Insiderverkäufe anbelangt, hat quepos recht, das ist bei den Amis tatsächlich normal, dass man sich ständig aus seinen Aktien und Optionen bedient - wers`s nicht glaubt, werfe einfach mal einen Blick auf beliebige andere Firmen.

      Und ein Zitat von Motley Fool, die sich ja vor einiger Zeit schon mal ausführlich und sehr lobend über PANL geäußert hatten. Der Autor erwartet die Gewinnzone frühestens Ende nächsten Jahres:
      Friday May 5, 11:59 am ET
      By Rick Aristotle Munarriz
      Another screen maker that also happens to be a Rule Breakers stock pick is Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL - News). Granted, Universal Display won't be screening Poseidon on gargantuan film screens later this month. The company is a leader in the smaller, flexible, and transparent screens like the next generation panels using the company's proprietary phosphorescent OLED technology. Like its displays, Universal's got a bright future even though it's not expected to turn a profit until late in 2007 at the earliest.

      Universal Display Corporation and Novaled Team to Produce Record Breaking Red Phosphorescent OLED Devices

      http://www.wallstreet-online.de/aktien/16208/nachrichten.html?spid=popup
      Universal Display Corporation and Novaled Team to Produce Record Breaking Red Phosphorescent OLED Devices



      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL ) and Novaled AG today presented a joint scientific paper at the International Society of Optical Engineering (SPIE) Optics and Photonics 2006 conference in San Diego, CA. The presentation detailed the achievement of a saturated red PHOLEDTM phosphorescent OLED device with a luminous efficacy of 15 candelas per ampere (cd/A) and an operating voltage of less than 4 Volts (V) for a record power efficiency of 12 lumens per Watt (lm/W) all at 1,000 candelas per square meter (cd/m2) brightness. This milestone was achieved through the combination of Universal Display´s high-efficiency PHOLED(TM) phosphorescent OLED technology and materials with Novaled´s low-voltage conductivity doped Novaled PIN-OLEDTM technology and transport materials.

      Universal Display´s proprietary PHOLED technology offers up to 100% internal quantum efficiency that is as much as four times higher than conventional OLED technology. Over the past few years, the Company has announced a series of record-breaking performance milestones for its red, green and blue PHOLED systems.

      Novaled´s proprietary doping technology and materials offer very low voltage OLEDs that are up to three times lower than conventional OLED technology. Over the past two years, the company has announced a series of record breaking performances. Novaled has successfully shown that very low device voltages can be combined with long operational lifetimes.

      Both parties´ technologies combined can deliver excellent power efficiency based on the combination of high internal quantum efficiency and low operating voltage. The results of this collaborative work between Universal Display and Novaled was presented by Dr. Tobias Canzler, of Novaled, in a paper entitled, "Highly power efficient organic light-emitting devices enabled by phosphorescence and p-i-n technologies," at the SPIE Conference in San Diego, CA on Wednesday, August 16th. The red PIN PHOLED device with color coordinates of CIE (0.65, 0.35) has a peak external quantum efficiency of 16% and a drive voltage of less than 4 V at 1,000 cd/m2. The device also demonstrates excellent projected operational lifetimes of >150,000 hours at an initial luminance of 500 cd/m2, with a luminous efficacy exceeding 15 cd/A. The record-setting 12 lm/W power efficiency (at 1,000 cd/m2) is a result of Universal Display´s PHOLED high luminous efficiency and the low drive voltage of Novaled´s doped transport materials.

      Dem niederländischen Erfinder Ron Kok verdanken wir viele Innovationen. Seine neuartigen Kunststoff-Displays könnten die Welt der Flachbildschirme revolutionieren.


      Von Norbert Lossau

      Stolz präsentiert Ron Kok ein zunächst unscheinbares Stück transparenter Plastikfolie. Wie von Zauberhand erscheint darauf plötzlich ein leuchtendes Farbbild, das sich zu bewegen beginnt. Dieses von Kok erfundene Display besteht aus organischen Leuchtdioden (OLED), also elektrisch leitendem Kunststoff, der Licht aussenden kann.

      Die Videobilder darauf sind absolut brillant und ohne jede Bewegungsunschärfe, wie man sie von heutigen Flüssigkristall-Bildschirmen kennt. Während diese einige Millisekunden benötigen, um einen Bildpunkt an oder aus zu schalten, reagieren Koks leuchtende Pixel aus Kunststoff viele Millionen mal schneller. Außerdem sind die Display-Folien dünn und in Grenzen biegsam - ähnlich einem Blatt Papier. Und ein paar Volt reichen für die Stromversorgung.

      Grund für die vergleichsweise geringe Lebenserwartung der Kokschen Displays ist der Sauerstoff der Luft. Dieser greift die OLEDs an und oxidiert das empfindliche Material. Daher muss die leuchtende Monitor-Folie zwischen Sauerstoff-undurchlässigen Polymerschichten verpackt werden. Probleme bereitet dabei das perfekte Abdichten der Ränder. Eine winzige Pore reicht, und es tröpfeln mit der Zeit Sauerstoffatome in die Displayschicht. “Dieses Problem ist aber beherrschbar”, zeigt sich Ron Kok überzeugt, wenn man nur ein wenig mehr Entwicklungsarbeit investieren würde.

      Die große Bedeutung dieser Kokschen Innovation hat man in China gleichwohl erkannt. Dort soll jetzt in der Provinz Jilin ein Werk für Foliendisplays errichtet werden. Voraussichtlich schon Anfang des kommenden Jahres werden chinesische Ingenieure bei Koks Firma OTB in Eindhoven an den OLED-Produktionsmaschinen ausgebildet. Ein Jahr später könnten die ersten OLED-Displays aus chinesischer Produktion auf den Weltmarkt kommen. “Die haben keine Furcht vor dieser Technologie”, sagt Kok, denn China ist bislang am Display-Geschäft nicht beteiligt. Die können problemlos in die Zukunft investieren.”

      Hugin-News: Cambridge Display Technology


      Cambridge Display Technology gibt einen neuen Meilenstein bezüglich der Lebensdauer für blauleuchtende Polymere bekannt Blaue Materialien mit hoher Leistung erreichen Äquivalent von 400.000 Stunden Lebensdauer CAMBRIDGE, Vereinigtes Königreich, 17. Nov. 2006 (PRIMEZONE) - Genau zwei Monate nach der Bekanntgabe einer bedeutenden Verbesserung in der Lebensdauer von blauen Polymeren gaben Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) (Nasdaq:OLED) und Sumation(r) einen weiteren Meilenstein bezüglich der Lebensdauer von blauleuchtenden Polymeren bekannt. Die Daten der hergestellten Apparate, welche diese letzten, aus Lösungen verarbeitbaren fluoreszierenden Materialien benutzen, zeigen eine Lebensdauer(1) von 25.000 Stunden bei einer Anfangsleuchtdichte von 400cd/Quadratmeter an, was 400.000 Stunden von 100cd/Quadratmeter entspricht. Dies macht eine Verbesserung von 25 % im Vergleich zu den im September verkündeten Ergebnissen bezüglich der Lebensdauer aus. Die Herstellung von videofähigen OLED Displays verlangt nach einer kompletten Farbskala von rot, grün und blau mit einer langen Lebensdauer und hoher Leistungsfähigkeit. Die Leistungsfähigkeit dieses fluoreszierenden blauen Materials liegt bei rund 9cd/A und die Farbkoordinaten sind: (CIEx=0.14, y=0.21). 'Wir haben das große Vergnügen, sogar eine andere bedeutende Verbesserung in der Entwicklung unserer blauen Polymere zu verkünden,' hat Dr. David Fyfe, Vorstandsvorsitzender und Hauptgeschäftsführer von CDT, erklärt. 'Diese Erfolge steigeren unseren Geschäftswertbeitrag für den Gebrauch von P-OLEDs in Displayanwendungen noch mehr und betonen wieder die positiven Leistungen, die von unserer Sumation Joint Venture mit Sumitomo Chemical herrühren. Wir sind mit dem Verbesserungstempo bezüglich der Materiallebensdauer sehr zufrieden, da wir in zunehmendem Maße die fundamentalen Mechanismen verstehen.' (1) Anmerkung des Herausgebers: Wenn hier der Begriff 'Lebensdauer' verwendet wird, bezieht er sich auf die Zeit, in welcher das Display/Pixel auf die Hälfte seiner anfangs festgelegten Leuchtdichte abfällt. Lebensdauerschätzungen basieren auf Kurzprüfung von einfachen Testapparaten auf verschiedenen, sehr hohen Anfangsleuchtdichtlevels und auf den Gebrauch dieser Daten für die Kalkulation einer vorhergesagten Lebensdauer bei niedrigern Helligkeitslevels. Die Übersetzung dieser einfachen Pixeldaten in Leistung in einem RGB Displaysystem hängt ab von mehreren Faktoren und erfordert eine komplexe Kalkulation und Kenntnis der genauen Systemdesignparameter wie zum Beispiel Öffnungsverhältnis, Helligkeit, Druckfarbenrezeptur und relativen Pixelbereich. Über CDT Cambridge Display Technology ist ein Pioneer in der Entwicklung der sogenannten 'polymer organic light emitting diodes' (P-OLEDs/organischen Leuchtdioden) und deren Verwendung in einem großen Bereich von elektronischen Displayprodukten, die in Informationsmanagement, Kommunikation und Entertainment zum Einsatz kommen. P-OLEDs gehören zu der Familie der OLEDs, bei denen es sich um dünne, leichtgewichtige und leistungseffiziente Apparate handelt, die Licht ausstrahlen, wenn sie unter Strom stehen. P-OLEDs bieten verbesserte visuelle Erfahrung und überlegene Leistungsmerkmale im Vergleich zu anderen Flachbildschirmtechnologien wie zum Beispiel Flüssigkristallanzeigen an und verfügen über den Schlüsselvorteil, dass sie in Lösung mittels Druckvorgängen angewendet werden können. Das 1992 gegründete Unternehmen hat seinen Hauptsitz in Cambridge, GB und ist auf dem U.S. NASDAQ Global Market mit dem Symbol 'OLED' gelistet. 2005 sind CDT und Sumitomo Chemical ein Joint Venture namens Sumation(r) eingegangen, das P-OLED Materialien für die Displayindustrie entwirft, herstellt und verkauft.

      Moin,
      ;)
      ein paar Leutchen lesen ja anscheinend diesen Thread...
      Hier darum nochmal die Meldung vom Mittwoch. Allein die Überschrift hat bei mir leider auch sofort folgende Sätze vor meinem inneren Auge auftauchen sehen:

      a) wir schaffen´s nicht allein
      b) wir brauchen noch viel länger als gedacht.
      :(

      So interpretiere ich auch die Reaktion, erst rauf, dann runter. Naja, kein Beinbruch, im Prinzip könnte das schon der richtige Weg sein, vielleicht "beschleunigt" sich die Entwicklung ja doch??
      :rolleyes:

      Halte weiterhin meine kleine UDC-Position
      :laugh:

      So, hier die Pressemitteilung:

      Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. and Universal Display Corporation Announce Collaboration to Accelerate Development of Blue Phosphorescent OLED Materials
      Wednesday December 13, 8:30 am ET


      TOKYO & EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (TSE: 5019; President: Akihiko Tembo; Address: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan) and Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL; President: Steven V. Abramson; Address: Ewing, New Jersey, U.S.A.) today announced that they have signed a non-exclusive collaboration agreement to accelerate the development of blue phosphorescent OLED materials. The collaboration will focus on blue phosphorescent OLED materials for use in displays fabricated through "dry" processing methods, such as vacuum thermal evaporation. The collaboration work will start between Universal Display and Idemitsu Kosan immediately after execution of their agreement.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      To date, Idemitsu Kosan has been developing and commercializing mainly excellent fluorescent OLED materials (blue, green and red). Idemitsu Kosan is now supplying these materials to OLED display manufacturers throughout the world. Idemitsu Kosan is especially well-known for its blue fluorescent OLED material, which currently has the top market share in the world.

      Universal Display is a leading developer of OLED technologies and materials, and holds basic patents on phosphorescent OLEDs. Many OLED display manufacturers are now evaluating Universal Display's PHOLED(TM) phosphorescent OLED technology and its red and green PHOLED materials, and Universal Display's red PHOLED material is currently being used in commercial production.

      Phosphorescent OLEDs are widely seen as critical to the growth of the OLED market because they offer up to four times higher efficiency than conventional fluorescent OLEDs. The development of blue phosphorescent OLED materials has been difficult, as it was originally for fluorescent OLEDs. After years of painstaking research, however, Universal Display made a major breakthrough in blue phosphorescent OLED lifetime in 2005. Since then, Universal Display has achieved a sky blue PHOLED with over 100,000 hours of lifetime, and a light blue PHOLED with over 17,500 hours of lifetime, each at an initial luminance of 200 nits.

      With Idemitsu Kosan's valuable experience and accomplishments in the development of blue fluorescent OLED materials, and Universal Display's leadership and pioneering efforts in phosphorescent OLED technology and materials, both companies are optimistic that they will be able to accelerate progress in the area of blue phosphorescent OLEDs through this collaboration.

      "We are very excited about establishing a working relationship with such a well-respected OLED material supplier as Idemitsu Kosan," said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display. "We believe it is important to OLED product manufacturers that technology and material developers work together to accelerate the commercial growth of the OLED industry. We are honored to be collaborating with Idemitsu Kosan on the development of blue phosphorescent OLEDs, particularly with their depth of experience in blue fluorescent OLED materials."

      "We very much expect to get a good outcome as a result of our cooperation with Universal Display, a leading company of phosphorescent OLED technologies and materials," said Shiro Okada, Managing Executive Officer, Associate Director of Idemitsu Kosan. "We believe this development of new phosphorescent OLED technologies and materials, combining with our traditional fluorescent OLED technologies and materials will contribute to accelerate the commercial growth of the OLED industry."

      About Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.

      Idemitsu Kosan started its development activities of OLED technologies and materials in the middle 80th followed by the successful development of marketable blue fluorescent OLED materials in 1997 at the first time in the world as a result of the continuous development activities. Besides, Idemitsu Kosan has been developing and commercializing green and red fluorescent OLED materials as well as the extension of the lifetime and the improvement of the efficiency of blue fluorescent OLED materials. Now, Idemitsu Kosan is supplying various OLED materials to many OLED device-manufacturing companies throughout the world. Idemitsu Kosan is also active in collaboration with world-class companies like Sony and Mitsui Chemical Co. for development of OLED technologies and materials.

      The OLED Revolution Approaches
      By Anders Bylund
      April 13, 2007
      "The typeriter is crating
      A revlootion in peotry
      Pishing back the frontears
      And apening up fresh feels
      Unherd of by Done or Bleak
      Mine is a Swetish Maid
      Called FACIT
      Others are OLIMPYA or ARUSTOCART
      RAMINGTON or LOLITEVVI"
      -- "The Typewriter Revolution," D.J. Enright
      It's National Poetry Month, so I'm sprinkling verse among my prose for awhile. Let's hope the revolution I'm thinking of today works out better than Enright's new typewriter did.
      We've been looking for somebody to make TV screens out of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials for years. The good news is that it's about to happen, with at least three different commercial production plans in the works, all of which aim to get the screens into our homes in three years or less.
      The bad news for investors is that it will be tough to determine who will likely make the biggest profit from this technology shift.
      Viva la revolucion!
      This week, Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology showed off a 21-inch OLED screen at a Japanese trade show, and vowed to bring a more refined model to market no later than 2009. This screen uses low-temperature poly silicon (LTPS) technology and polymer OLED materials.
      The 60-40 Toshiba / Matsushita (NYSE: MC) venture has been working on these screen technologies for a long time, but it's unclear whether or not this work is based on patents held by other companies. Cambridge Display (Nasdaq: OLED) has a strong polymer OLED patent portfolio, while AU Optronics (NYSE: AUO) pops up early and often when one searches through LTPS patents.
      If TM Display doesn't hit a home run, others are stepping up to the plate, too. Sony (NYSE: SNE) says it will bring 11-inch screens to the market as early as next year, and Samsung SDI is working with a different OLED technology, based on the phosphorous OLED tech of Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL).But who's winning?
      Regardless of who brings the first or best product into full production, consumers are the real winners here. OLED screens promise to be brighter, thinner, and eventually cheaper than today's plasma and LCD equivalents, with considerable work going on to eliminate the technology's remaining weakness -- short lifespans. Blue OLED elements in particular tend to burn out much more quickly than today's screens.
      In the murderers' row of market entrants above, I didn't even touch on major intellectual-property holders like Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK) and Xerox (NYSE: XRX). Some of their patents cover OLED controller electronics, but both have some materials science in the books, too.
      There is a $35 billion global market for television sets today, a number that's only expected to grow in the near future. It's no surprise, then, to see such a prominent and eager lineup crowding the starting line. Our Motley Fool Rule Breakers newsletter gave the nod to Universal Display nearly two years ago (a pick that has beaten the market soundly, so far), but you could play this sea change in many other ways, too. OLED research outfits, consumer electronics manufacturers, even electronics retailers can benefit from this shift as home entertainment hardware becomes more reliable -- and hence less prone to customer returns -- as well as lighter and more svelte, costing less to ship around.
      The one thing you can bet on is that the fancy LCD screen in your living room today will look passe and outdated in five years or less. We might as well make some money from the revolution, so we can buy a new and better set. Don't worry -- the kids can set it up for us.
      Further Foolishness:

      Universal Display Corporation Showcases Second-Generation Red PHOLED Material at 2007 SID Conference
      Tuesday May 22, 8:30 am ET
      Company Continues to Improve PHOLED Display Performance with New Deep Red PHOLED Emitter, UDC-RD26


      EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News), a force behind today's evolving displays and lighting with its PHOLED(TM) phosphorescent OLED technology, today unveiled a new, deep red PHOLED material at the Society for Information Display's (SID) 2007 International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition in Long Beach, California. The Company's continued advances in high-efficiency PHOLED materials and technology are leading the way for the next generation of OLED displays for TV's and other demanding product applications.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      The debut of this second-generation deep red emitter, UDC-RD26, follows Universal Display's announcement of a second-generation bright red emitter, UDC-RD39, in April. These two new materials are designed to meet a range of OLED manufacturers' chromaticity requirements.

      "As an OLED technology developer, we continue to raise the bar for what our high-efficiency, phosphorescent OLED technology can deliver," said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display. "By introducing new second-generation PHOLED emitters like UDC-RD26 and UDC-RD39, Universal Display is able to offer display manufacturers technology and materials that enable ever better display performance and manufacturing compatibility."

      To specify chromaticity of the three primary colors in a display, two color space standards are commonly used. They are the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) standard, originally developed for televisions, and the more recent s-RGB color space standard established for monitors, printers and the Internet. UDC-RD26 is designed to match the deep red, NTSC chromaticity standard, while UDC-RD39 meets the bright red, s-RGB specification. Depending on the specific display application, manufacturers may prefer either a deep red color or a brighter red color with higher intrinsic luminous efficiency.

      Universal Display's new UDC-RD26, with CIE coordinates of (0.67, 0.33) can operate at a luminous efficiency of 19 candelas per Ampere (cd/A), corresponding to an 18% external quantum efficiency, at 1,000 candelas per square meter (cd/m2). Under accelerated testing conditions, UDC-RD26 demonstrates an operating lifetime of approximately 90,000 hours, at an initial luminance of 1,000 cd/m2. These performance gains are significant, representing an 80% increase in luminous efficiency and 10% increase in lifetime, as compared to Universal Display's first-generation commercial deep red PHOLED emitter. In addition, both new second-generation materials are specifically designed for use in high-volume production environments.

      OLED displays that use Universal Display's PHOLED materials have been demonstrated to consume significantly less power than those that use conventional fluorescent materials and when compared to a comparable LCD. Universal Display's PHOLED materials, including UDC-RD26 and UDC-RD39, are available from the Company for evaluation and commercial use.

      OLEDs: Forschungspreis für nahezu durchsichtige OLEDs


      Für die Entwicklung von zu 70 Prozent transparenten OLED-Displays wurde Forschern vom Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik der TU Braunschweig (www.tu- braunschweig.de) der mit 15.000 EUR dotierte Kaiser- Friedrich-Forschungpreis 2007 (www.kaiser-friedrich- forschungspreis.de) verliehen. Der Arbeitsgruppe ist es gelungen, die stromführenden Metallschichten der OLEDs durch amorphe Metalloxide (Oxid-Halbleiter) zu ersetzen. Das Ergebnis wurde mit einer transparenten Treiberelektronik kombiniert, sodass ein transparentes Aktiv-Matrix Display entsteht, das „eine bislang unerreichte Effizienz von bis zu 70 cd/A" erzielt, so die Jury.

      Sony: Erster OLED-Fernseher findet reißenden Absatz


      Kaum standen die weltweit ersten OLED-Fernsehgeräte in den japanischen Fachgeschäften, waren sie auch schon ausverkauft: Bereits am Tag nach der Erstauslieferung am 22. November 2007 hatten die für den Monat zur Verfügung stehenden 1.300 Geräte für einen Stückpreis von umgerechnet gut 1.200 EUR den Besitzer gewechselt. Weitere 700 „XEL-1“ stehen in den Schaufenstern der Läden, die erst in drei Wochen wieder neue Ware anbieten können. Andere Länder kommen vorerst gar nicht erst zum Zuge. Hersteller Sony war als erster Produzent von OLED-TV-Geräten mit einer monatlichen Kapazität von 2.000 Stück an den Start gegangen.

      Flachster Fernseher basiert auf OLED: Sony XEL-1

      Der XEL-1 ist der erste OLED-Fernseher der Welt. Die neue Displaytechnologie ermöglicht gestochen scharfe, unglaublich kontrastreiche und wunderbar farbenfrohe Bilder - bei extrem flacher Bauweise. So ist die Anzeige des Sony XEL-1 lediglich 3 Millimeter dick.

      Doch nicht nur das Design überzeugt. Auch die technischen Daten machen Lust auf mehr: So soll der OLED-Fernseher von Sony einen Kontrast von 1.000.000:1 erreichen. Der Blickwinkel ist ebenso gigantisch - bei den auf der Consumer Electronics Show Anfang 2007 ausgestellten Prototypen veränderte sich das Bild unabhängig vom Betrachtungswinkel gar nicht. Die Technik ist allerdings noch nicht ganz ausgereift. Sony kann vorerst nur monatlich 2000 Stück der edlen Fernseher produzieren und verkauft sie zum horrenden Preis von über 1700 Dollar - für einen 11 Zoll kleinen Monitor, wohl gemerkt. Dieser schafft mit 960 mal 540 Pixeln auch noch längst keine HD-Auflösung.

      Wird OLED trotz dieser Hürden den Weg in den Massenmarkt schaffen und die derzeitigen, unhandlichen LCD- und Plasma-Fernseher ablösen? Stimmen Sie ab!

      Moin,
      ;)
      habe PANL ja nun schon fast 7 Jahre im Depot... :(, meist ja m.o.w. als Depotleiche. Aber die Technologie hat mich eben schon immer überzeugt, vielleicht erwacht sie jetzt zum Leben (als Leucht-Zombie!).
      :)
      Jedenfalls ist der Ausbruch über die 19-20$-Region anscheinend nun gelungen, und es ist auch reichlich Volumen vorhanden (natürlich auch viele Short-Eindeckungen).
      Nachden neulich schon sowohl Samsung als auch dann Sony die Vermarktung von OLED-TV´s angekündigt hatten, heute u.a. dieser Artikel:

      CES: Samsung to Unveil 31 Inch OLED TV; Mass Produce 14 Inch Set
      December 27, 2007
      Samsung SDI has announced development is complete on a 31" active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AM-OLED) television set, the largest announced by any manufacturer to date. In addition, the company will be mass producing 14" OLED sets sometime in 2008. The 31" set is currently not scheduled for mass production, though that decision could revert at any time.

      The 31-inch module is said to be only 4.3 mm thick, or one-tenth of a typical liquid crystal display panel, and consumes less than half the electricity needed for a 32-inch LCD screen. The lifespan of the set is estimated at a whopping 350,000 hours.


      With a brighter image, smaller size and far less power consumption, OLED sets are primed to eventually overpower LCDs and become a market leader.

      This announcement comes after Sony released an 11" OLED set in Japan this past November. OLED sets have yet to appear stateside, but rumors point towards a 2008 arrival.

      Samsung SDI will have the 31" prototype on display at CES in early January.

      Könnte noch mehr draus werden!
      :D
      Einige wenige Freunde der Aktie gibt´s ja auch hierzulande...

      Gruß q.

      P.S.: Ist übrigens auch immer gut für AIX :D, von denen ich ja glücklicherweise recht viele habe, die OLED´s von PANL werden jedenfalls mit Aixtron-Maschinen hergestellt, also auch ein kommender Zukunftsmarkt. Von organischen Solarzellen schweige ich lieber erstmal, dauert noch ein weilchen...

      Einsatz. Auf der CES 2008 in Las Vegas stellt [1] Samsung SDI nun einen 52 Zoll großen Full-HD-Fernseher vor. 2010 soll die kommerzielle Produktion für mittelgroße bis große OLED-TVs starten.

      Der bisher größte kommerziell vermarktete OLED-Fernseher hat 11 Zoll und wurde vor wenigen Monaten von Sony vorgestellt. Wie [2] gerade berichtet, hat die Vermarktung in Japan vor einem Monat begonnen und soll nun auch in den USA starten.

      Schon vor Jahren hat die Samsung-Tochter einen OLED-Riesen als Prototypen präsentiert. Doch zur Massenproduktion ist es wegen der damals noch geringen Haltbarkeit der organischen LEDs nie gekommen.

      Der nun auf der CE-Elektronikschau gezeigte Fernseher hat ein active-Matrix-OLED-Panel. Das fertige Produkt soll 40 Prozent weniger als ein gleich großer LCD-TV wiegen, ein unglaubliches Kontrastverhältnis von 1.000.000:1 haben und eine Helligkeit von rund 550 cd/qm. Außerdem soll er 107 Prozent des NTSC-Farbraums abdecken.

      Der auf der CES 2008 präsentierte 52-Zöller bietet ein Kontrastverhältnis von 50.000:1 und eine Helligkeit von 550 cd/qm.

      Außerdem zeigt Samsung auf der Messe auch den mit 82 Zoll größten LCD-Fernseher mit QFHD-Auflösung (vierfacher Full-HD-Auflösung) von 3.840 x 2.160 Pixel.

      Schließlich hat der koreanische Hersteller auch einen 570DXN genannten 57-Zoll-Monitor im Gepäck, der mit der 3D-Bewegungssensoren-Technologie von Rectrox Systems ausgestattet ist und der Bewegung des bzw. der Nutzer folgt. Das Public Display ist für Anzeigenwerbung gedacht und soll schon 2008 auf den Markt kommen. (kh)

      Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. and Universal Display Corporation Announce Extension of Collaboration to Accelerate the Development of Phosphorescent OLED Materials


      Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (TSE:5019; President: Akihiko Tembo; Address: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan) and Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL; President: Steven V. Abramson; Address: Ewing, New Jersey, U.S.A.) today announced that they have signed an agreement to extend their collaboration to accelerate the development of phosphorescent OLED materials for use in displays fabricated through “dry” processing methods, such as vacuum thermal evaporation. The agreement expands the collaboration into red and green phosphorescent OLED materials, in addition to the blue materials that the two companies have been collaborating to develop since December, 2006.

      In order to further expand the market for phosphorescent OLED devices, blue phosphorescent OLED materials need to be more fully developed and the quality and lifetime of red and green phosphorescent OLED materials should continue to improve. Therefore, Idemitsu Kosan and Universal Display have agreed to extend their collaboration into red and green phosphorescent OLED materials, in addition to continuing their work together on blue phosphorescent OLED materials. The collaboration is focused on matching Universal Display’s phosphorescent emitters with Idemitsu Kosan’s phosphorescent hosts and other OLED materials.

      Universal Display Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007 Financial Results


      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL), a major force behind today’s evolving displays and lighting with its PHOLED™ phosphorescent OLED technology, today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

      For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $3,256,104 or $(0.09) per diluted share, versus a net loss of $4,408,826 or $(0.14) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $15,975,841 or ($0.47) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $15,186,804, or ($0.49) per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006.

      Revenues for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007 were $2,898,826 and $11,305,907, respectively, compared to $2,544,282 and $11,921,292 for the same periods in 2006. Revenue components for the fourth quarter and year 2007 are described in greater detail below.

      Commercial chemical revenues were $871,996 and $3,599,677, respectively, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $940,000 and $1,876,071 for the same periods in 2006. Commercial chemical revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was positively impacted by material shipments almost entirely to Samsung SDI. Comparatively, material shipments to AU Optronics comprised the bulk of commercial chemical revenue for the same periods of 2006.

      Royalty and license revenues were $354,025 and $828,371 for three months and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, compared to $127,900 and $2,400,179 for the same periods in 2006. The decrease in royalty and license revenue for the year was attributable to a suspension of OLED display production by a major customer, AU Optronics Corporation, as well as structural differences in the Company’s licensing arrangements with AU Optronics and Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. Under the arrangement with AU Optronics, license revenues were earned when the Company sold materials to AU Optronics, while under the arrangement with Samsung SDI, corresponding royalty revenues are not earned until products incorporating the Company’s materials are sold by Samsung SDI and reported to the Company.

      Technology development revenues were $477,312 and $1,227,312 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, compared to $228,030 and $2,166,288 for the same periods in 2006.

      Development chemical revenues were $243,876 and $1,049,854 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, compared to $192,148 and $1,656,851 for the same periods in 2006. The decrease in development chemical revenue for the year 2007 from 2006 was primarily attributable to the transition of Samsung SDI from development to commercial chemical sales in 2007.

      Contract research revenues were $951,617 and $4,600,693 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, compared to $1,056,204 and $3,821,903 for the same periods in 2006. These revenues varied from quarter to quarter based on timing of the Company’s government contracts, and the services provided under those agreements.

      “2007 marked a milestone year for Universal Display on a number of fronts,” said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display. “Our licensee, Samsung SDI, began production and shipment of active-matrix OLED displays that utilize our phosphorescent OLED technology and materials. Recipients of these shipments included a number of major handset manufacturers, and we were encouraged to see that Samsung SDI had ramped volume production by the fourth quarter of 2007. We also continue to see a number of advances in our OLED technologies, with increased performance in our red, green and blue PHOLED material systems. In addition, we continued our work with industry leaders as well as the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Energy, to accelerate growth of the OLED industry and to advance next generation OLED technologies like white OLED lighting and flexible OLED displays.”

      Mr. Rosenblatt concluded, “While revenues for 2007 were impacted by slower than expected introduction of active-matrix OLED displays during the year, we are encouraged by the progress in the second half of the year. Today, our customers, including Samsung SDI and Chi Mei EL Corporation, are producing and shipping commercial products to their customers, and we expect this to increase during 2008.”

      Operating expenses totalled $8,030,670 and $31,677,765 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, compared to $8,082,330 and $29,811,409 for the same periods in 2006. The increase in operating expenses year over year reflects increased research and development staffing, materials development performed in conjunction with PPG Industries, Inc., and operating expenses resulting from the expansion of the Company’s facility in Ewing, New Jersey.

      Net cash used in operating activities was $11,096,764 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $4,703,792 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was mainly attributable to a decrease in the receipt of deferred license fees, decreased non-cash expenses in conjunction with work performed by PPG Industries, Inc., decreased revenues and increased operating expenses. The increased in use of cash used in operating activities was offset by proceeds from the sale of common stock, and warrant and option exercises during 2007.

      The Company’s balance sheet was strong, with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $83,659,657 as of December 31, 2007, compared to $49,098,055 as of December 31, 2006.

      In conjunction with this release, Universal Display will host a conference call, followed by a question and answer session, on Thursday, March 13th, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Interested parties may participate by calling 706-634-1395 at 4:55 p.m. Eastern Time and referencing conference PIN 37010770.

      Leuchtdioden

      Die Hoffnung auf das große OLED-Geschäft

      Von Chris Löwer


      Organische Leuchtdioden (OLEDs) elektrisieren die Industrie seit Jahren, denn sie sind günstig im Energieverbrauch, günstig herzustellen und günstig für flexible Anwendungen. Erste Produkte erobern jetzt den Markt.


      BERLIN. Das Fraunhofer-Institut für Angewandte Polymerforschung (IAP) hat zusammen mit dem Unternehmen TES-Frontdesign eine OLED-Tastatur entwickelt, mit der Gebrauchsgeräte ausgestattet werden sollen. Ein leuchtendes Symbol zeigt etwa an, welche Taste man dürcken muss, damit der Kaffeeautomat Cappuccino herstellt. Das OLED-Symbol ist wandelbar und dient zugleich als Schalter. Damit müssen die Tasten nicht mehr bedruckt oder hinterleuchtet werden.

      „Die neuartige OLED-Tastatur bringt viele Vorteile – auch für die Bedienfelder von großen Maschinen, die in der industriellen Fertigung eingesetzt werden“, sagt Armin Wedel, Abteilungsleiter am IAP. „Der Anwender erhält über die Tasten selbst eine Information darüber, ob die Maschine eingeschaltet ist und welche Anwendung gerade läuft. Das auch in sehr dunklen Räumen.“ Die nur zwei Millimeter dicke Folientastatur wird bereits an einer Kaffeemaschine erprobt. TES Frontdesign plant nun, die OLED-Tastatur zusätzlich im Maschinenbau einsetzen.

      Solche kleinen Anwendungen sind recht unproblematisch, da sie mit der sogenannten Passivmatrix arbeiten. Dabei wird ein bestimmtes Pixel durch das Anlegen einer Spannung angesteuert, wofür nur zwei Leitungen notwendig sind. Bei großen Bildschirmen muss jedoch mehr Aufwand betrieben werden. Über die so genannte Aktivmatrix wird jeder Pixel einzeln über einen eigenen Transistor angesteuert, wozu vier Leitungen nötig sind. Das ist aufwändig und noch sehr teuer, weswegen OLED-Bildschirme bislang noch keine Konkurrenz für die heutigen LCD-Displays sind.

      Doch das wird sich ändern. Ende vergangenen Jahres brachte Sony den ersten OLED-Fernseher namens XEL-1 mit einem drei Millimeter dünnen Bildschirm auf den Markt. Da die Diagonale nur 23 Zentimeter (11 Zoll) misst, ist das zunächst nur in den USA und Japan erhältliche Gerät mit umgerechnet 1 200 Euro noch recht teuer. Samsung, der zweite große Player auf diesem Gebiet, zeigte vor drei Jahren einen Prototypen mit 40 Zoll-Panel. Auf der letzten Cebit präsentierten die Koreaner einen 14- und einen 31-Zöller. Die kleine Variante soll im nächsten Jahr verkauft werden.

      Besonders die dominierenden OLED-Anbieter werden in den nächsten Monaten mit neuen Anwendungen auf den Markt drängen. Neben Sony und Samsung sind das LG, TDK, Kodak, Pioneer, Ritdisplay, Univision und Osram. Diese Firmen arbeiten intensiv daran, die Lebensdauer der Pixel zu erhöhen, wobei die roten, grünen und blauen Punkte eines jeden Pixels unglücklicherweise unterschiedlich schnell altern, was auf Dauer zu unschönen Farbverfälschungen führt.

      Unlängst gelang es Osram die Effizienz und die Lebensdauer von OLEDS zu erhöhen. „Unser Entwicklungsteam hat mit einer deutlich höheren Effizienz als bisher und mehr als 5 000 Stunden Lebensdauer für warmweiße OLED einen echten Meilenstein erreicht“, sagt Karsten Heuser, Director OLED Lighting Technology bei Osram Opto Semiconductors. „Denn mit dem deutlichen Zuwachs an Effizienz und Lebensdauer rücken OLED-Flächenlichtquellen in die Nähe herkömmlicher Lichtlösungen und werden für verschiedenste Anwendungen attraktiv", zeigt Heuser neue Perspektiven auf. Er meint damit unter anderem Leuchttapeten, Lichthimmel oder Lichttrennwände.

      Lampenhersteller Osram hat seine OLED-Aktivitäten neu ausgerichtet. Das Unternehmen spezialisiert sich auf Lichtlösungen und ist zum Jahresende aus der Fertigung von OLED-Displays ausgestiegen. Die Fertigungslinie im malaysischen Penang wurde zum Ende 2007 eingestellt. Osram Opto Semiconductors hatte seit Ende 2003 unter dem Markennamen Pictiva Passivmatrix-Displays aus OLED hergestellt und vertrieben. Die Nachfrage aus der Kommunikationstechnik, der Industrie und der Unterhaltungselektronik war aber weit hinter den Unternehmenserwartungen zurück geblieben.

      Um mit herkömmlichen Lichtquellen konkurrueren zu können, müssen allerdings die hohen Herstellungskosten reduziert werden. Das sieht man bei Merck auch so. Der Chemie- und Pharmakonzern engagiert sich seit Jahren in der OLED-Technik und investiert intensiv in die Forschung. Merck wird in Darmstadt mit 47 Millionen Euro ein neues Entwicklungszentrum errichten, in dem auch die Technik der organischen Leuchtdioden vorangetrieben werden soll. Walter Zywottek, Vorstand der Chemie-Sparte, rechnet in zwei Jahren ersten marktfähigen Displays, die Leuchtdioden Konkurrenz machen können – auch wenn er nicht davon ausgeht, dass OLEDs die LEDs verdrängen werden. Merck ist bei der Herstellung von Flüssigkristallen weltweiter Marktführer. Aber auch Branchenkenner sehen nicht den Untergang von LCD-Displays, sondern eher ein Miteinander zulasten von Plasma-Bildschirmen.

      Universal Display Corporation Delivers Flexible OLED Prototype with Novel Capabilities to U.S. Army


      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL), an innovator behind tomorrow’s displays and lighting products through its PHOLED™ phosphorescent OLED technology, today announced the successful development and delivery of a novel OLED display prototype to the U.S. Army. The prototype demonstrates the world’s first flexible OLED display that incorporates both visible green emission for daytime operation and infrared (IR) emission for use in dark environments.

      Developed through a two-phase Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program with the U.S. Army, this initial prototype was designed to demonstrate capabilities that would enable soldiers in the field to view one display in two modes. Using Universal Display’s high-efficiency PHOLED technology, the OLED display prototype provides green-color emission for daytime operation, and can be switched to operate in an IR-emission mode, that can only be detected through specialized night-vision goggles, for covert operations. By integrating this onto a flexible substrate, the Company has achieved a design suitable for portable, rugged and conformable use both day and night in the field.

      As part of an ongoing effort by the U.S. Army to develop next-generation applications that will enhance field operations for U.S. soldiers, the prototype was delivered to Mr. Raymond Schulze, Chief, Battle Command Interface Branch of the U.S. Army Communication Electronics Research and Development Engineering Center (CERDEC). This project complements flexible display development ongoing at the U.S. Army’s Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University, of which Universal Display is a founding member. With further technology development, this display concept may lead to the realization of important, new display functionality that can enhance the communications capabilities of the soldier.

      “The design and delivery of this display prototype marks another milestone for our high-efficiency, phosphorescent OLED technology and our work with the U.S. government,” said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display Corporation. “The prototype provides further evidence of the benefits that our PHOLED technology can provide in a variety of environments and applications for the military and commercial sectors.”

      The active-matrix OLED prototype display, based on Universal Display’s proprietary PHOLED technology, employs proprietary visible-emission PHOLED materials as well as new IR-emitting PHOLED materials and device structures from the Universal Display team in conjunction with its partners at the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan. In addition, this 100 dpi prototype was built on flexible metal foil using low-temperature, poly-silicon backplane technology from Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and was integrated into a system for the Army by L-3 Communications Display Systems, a division of L-3 Communications Corporation.

      Die TV's kommen in den nächsten Jahren langsam, die biegsamen Panels sind noch zu speziell (PANL & Army). Die Lebensdauer liegt nur bei 30.000h was nur viel klingt wenn es teuer ist wie mom noch! Die Leuchten mit speziellem design wie auch in Pkw, viele Flächen wie hinter Monitoren und TV, werden eher das Geld einspielen.



      Auf alle Fälle kommt PANL wo CDT vom Markt weggekauft ist, aber erst wenn die Aberbillionen verdaut sind :laugh:

      Severe Redesigns on the Way for iPhone, iPad

      Breaking news out of Taiwan: According to Taiwanese business rag Economic Daily News, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) is planning to make some radical changes to next year's iterations of the iPhone and iPad.
      Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) is expected to provide baseband radio chips this time, pushing out incumbent Infineon Technologies and thus replacing an HSPA expert with the inventor of the CDMA standard. If that was gobbledygook, you should know that HSPA is the 3G network standard in use at AT&T while CDMA is what they use to run Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ). If true, this could be the first real sign of a Verizon or Sprint iPhone, though you'd probably have to wait until next summer when Steve Jobs traditionally dons his black turtleneck to unveil what's new in iPhones.
      Among other notable changes, Marvell Technology (Nasdaq: MRVL) is said to have replaced Broadcom as the Wi-Fi chip supplier, but Broadcom makes a comeback by stealing the touchscreen controller slot. Wolfson Microelectronics may have retaken the audio chip throne that Cirrus Logic (Nasdaq: CRUS) stole two years ago, and the market is taking this rumor very seriously: Cirrus is down 4% today while Wolfson trades sharply higher on the London exchange.
      Last but not least, a separate rumor says that Samsung is moving its Galaxy S smartphones to standard LCD screens soon or maybe putting the entire product line on hold. Why? Because Apple allegedly wants all the OLED capacity Samsung can muster for the iPhone. I had expected a move like that around next summer, because that's when Samsung increases its OLED manufacturing capacity tenfold by opening a massive new factory. But it does make sense for Apple to secure a screen supply well in advance of actually shipping product. Apple seems to have skipped that step with some parts for the white iPhone this year, and you still can't get your hands on that model.
      Altogether, this is potentially bad news for Cirrus and AT&T; great tidings for Wolfson and Marvell; good but not terrific for Qualcomm; and the next iPhone is shaping up to be the most impressive package yet. The obvious demand for OLED screens is also a catalyst of epic proportions for OLED technologist Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL)

      Universal Display Corporation (PANL) Q2 2011 Earnings Call August 8, 2011 5:00 PM ET

      Operator

      Good day and welcome to the Universal Display Corporation second quarter 2011 earnings call. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Joe Hassett.

      Joe Hassett

      Thank you and good afternoon, everyone. With us today are Steve Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer and Sid Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display Corporation.

      Let me begin today by reminding you that this call is a property of Universal Display. Any redistribution, retransmission or rebroadcast of this call in any form without the expressed written consent of Universal Display is strictly prohibited.

      Further, as this call is being webcast live and will be made available for a period of time on Universal Display's website, this call contains time-sensitive information that is accurate only as of the date of the live webcast of this call, August 8, 2011.

      All statements in this conference that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Universal Display's beliefs, expectations, hopes or intentions regarding the future.

These risks and uncertainties are discussed in the company's periodic reports filed with the SEC. Universal Display disclaims any obligation to update any of these statements.

      Now, I'd like to turn the call over to Steve Abramson, President and CEO of Universal Display.

      Steve Abramson

      Thank you, Joe, and welcome to everyone listening on today's call and webcast. It's good to be able to talk about the growing business in this current economic environment.

      This afternoon, I will start with a quick overview of our second quarter financial results, discuss highlights from the quarter and update everyone of our plans to expand usage of our proprietary OLED technologies and materials in both the display and lighting markets. Sid will then follow with more detail on our financials before we open the call to questions.

      Second quarter revenues were an all-time record, $11.3 million, up 33% for the second quarter a year ago. The increase was driven by both expanded commercial and strong developmental sales. In addition, we reduced the operating loss and were operating cash flow positive for the quarter. Our balance sheet remains solid.

      We also reported a significant improvement in net income and earnings per share, primarily attributable to the accounting treatment of a stock warrant liability. So as we discounted the stock warrant liability which inflated the loss, it's only fair to do the same when it swings in the other direction. So we continue to focus on our operating income. Steve will go through the details shortly.

      Nevertheless, after the influence of the stock warrant liability, these results clearly illustrate that we achieved strong year-over-year revenue growth, a further progress to our operating profitability and sustained momentum throughout our business. Our results are the product of our strong technology portfolio and proprietary materials and a vibrant, fast-growing margin.

      Leading consumer electronics and lighting manufacturers such as Samsung and LG in Korea, AUO in Taiwan and Konica Minolta in Japan are spearheading the evolution in the display and lighting markets. Universal Display is helping these and many other companies create a whole new generation of exciting product opportunities.

      Our commercial revenues were up 170% over the same quarter of the prior year, reflecting increased demand for our materials and higher license revenues associated with sales growth for a wide variety of small form factor display devices, particularly smartphones. These devices are finally making their way into the market, which to this point has been limited by industry capacity.

      On past conference calls, we've noted the wider appeal of OLED and the various market sizes and growth rates cited by industry analysts such as iSuppli Display Research and others. If anything, we'd say their expectations for the industry continued to grow. Display research projects AMOLED revenues to exceed $4 billion this year, up from $1.2 billion in 2010. And they recently increased their AMOLED market forecast for future years yet again with the market now expected to exceed $15 billion in 2014.

      Let me mention just a few industry highlights to put some color around current industry conditions. It was reported by at least one analyst at Samsung on their quarterly earnings call last night, emphasizing that the OLED market remains a key area of focus and they'll continue to ramp investment in this segment. Samsung also recently announced that the GALAXY S II smartphone with its high-resolution super-AMOLED display panel sold 5 million units in just 85 days, making it the fastest-selling phone in the company's history.

      It was also reported that Samsung opened its Gen 5.5 AMOLED line in industry first, two months ahead of schedule. AU Optronics had originally planned to start mass production on a new Gen 3.5 AMOLED line in the second quarter of 2011, but it's been reported that there are some delays, which will likely move the opening to the third or fourth quarter of this year.

      According to report from inews24, LG Display will start to provide AMOLED displays to Nokia and has started producing AMOLEDs in a Gen 4.5 plan. The report says that at present, LG Display is only supplying sample quantities and overall production is expected to ramp up in the coming months.

      As we know the question will come up, let me say now that we are not announcing a new long-term agreement with Samsung today. We are making progress with the negotiations and we continue to work with them under three months extension of our current agreement as we have for the past 14 months.

      Developmental revenues after excluding payments received from a customer several years ago that were recognized during the second quarter of last year were also up for the quarter. These revenues are a direct function of the growing interest in our materials and technology for product applications throughout the display and lighting markets.

      According to at least one analyst, Samsung's talent for OLED tablets was more favorable on their quarterly conference call last month. While they are not ready to make a product announcement at this time, it appears they are proactively looking at OLED displays for tablets.

      As I mentioned, LG has begun to produce mobile OLED products. And public reports have indicated that while they are not going to be investing more in OLEDs for mobile applications, they are going to concentrate on OLED TVs.

      Our customers see the value of OLED TVs. To support this effort, our team has developed a highly-efficient four sub-pixel architecture that splits the blue pixel into separate light blue and dark blue pixels. This approach takes advantage of the successes we've had over the past year in increasing light blue lifetime and also recognizes that deep blue is used infrequently in a four-color display.

      In addition, another possible avenue for large screen TVs is printing either by solution-based methods to more traditional approach or by dry printing methods. We have been pursuing both approaches at UDC. Our solution process technology, which we call P2OLED, has advanced considerably over the past couple of years. Efficiency has doubled over the last two three years and lifetime is approximately 125,000 hours for red, 175,000 hours for green and 8,000 hours for light blue of the 50% of the initial luminance of 1,000 nits.

      We are also making excellent progress with a dry printing technology that we embedded, which we call Organic Vapor Jet Printing or OVJP. If successful, this technology would enable OLEDs to be printed using our current high-performance vacuum evaporation materials.

      Also within our developmental efforts, we continue to advance our flexible display technology. We previously reported on our work with LG Display and L-3 under Department of Defense funded program to develop a flexible display on a metal foil, prototypes of which were delivered in a wrist-mounted communications device designed for our soldiers in the field.

      In addition, we have recently demonstrated a four-color flexible AMOLED display prototype on plastic with our partners at the Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University.

      We also developed and successfully demonstrated a novel single-layer encapsulation technology for plastic substrate systems and thin-film devices, including both flexible and rigid OLEDs. This approach is an elegant solution to improve the manufacturability and performance of OLEDs and a range of other thin-film devices. It offers a unique growth path in markets that are strategically adjacent to our core display and lightening targets.

      There have been equally exciting advances in our OLED lighting technology. As you may have heard in our annual meeting, we donated some of our proprietary materials to Toshiba for the use in portable OLED lights that were used by refugees from the terrible earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. We have also licensed our lighting technology to Konica Minolta, which is currently having its products manufactured by Philips using our proprietary materials.

      We continue to improve the efficiency duration and luminance of our OLED lighting technology materials as we believe that this is an area that offers a tremendous market opportunity. We're working with more than 10 potential lightening manufacturers at this time.

      Recently, we also announced a one-way all phosphorescent OLED lighting panel with a power efficacy of 58 lumens per watt and a record breaking 30,000 hours of operating lifetime to 70% of initial luminance, based in part on our new light blue Universal PHOLED material system, which represents a three times improvement in operating lifetime over results presented last year.

      As we also mentioned, our expanded presence in Asia where we've established engineering support offices in Korea and Japan and R&D facility in Hong-Kong, we believe a more visible presence and closer proximity to Asia will strengthen the relationships, improve efficiencies and accelerate the pace of business growth.

      Industry still faces some challenges such as reducing manufacturing cost and increasing materials' lifetime. To address these challenges, we continue to invest heavily in research and development. We are constantly looking to add new patents to our portfolio and to improve and expand our innovative technologies. We're making progress across a broad array of challenges that we think are key to accelerating worldwide adoption of OLEDs in the future.

      For example, we're making great progress with our phosphorus and green materials where we're aggressively pushing forward with our efforts to commercialization in the near term. Our sales of green-emitter and host materials have increased significantly amounting to approximately half our development revenues for the second quarter.

      Let me talk a little about the oppositions and invalidation proceedings against our issued patents in certain jurisdictions. The first opposition was initiated a few years ago in Europe against our broad basic flexible OLED patent. This is a fundamental patent for an OLED or a non-glass substrate. We won that opposition and the other side appeal.

      Recently an invalidation proceeding was filed in Korea against one of issued patents relating our OVJP technology. There are other oppositions, invalidation proceeding and patent interference actions we're involved in relating to our phosphorescence patents. They've been filed mainly by competitors of ours who have realized that the strength of our patent portfolio creates significant barriers to entry and reduces their revenue potential.

      Our team was the first to invent, develop and commercialize phosphorescent technology. Our patent portfolio is strong and we will do everything within our power to save our intellectual property. We are aggressively defending our patents in these proceedings, as shown by the more than doubling of our patent-related expenses over the last six months to almost $2 million last quarter.

      As we have said, challenges to our intellectual property will be part of our business as the industry grows, and we are prepared to meet those challenges. Let me briefly close with an update on our strategy and potential uses of the proceeds from our recent public offering.

      When looking to the future of OLED, we're only thinking of ways to accelerate and secure growth of the industry and our company. We continue to look at IP covering the technology and materials in an OLED stack to add to an already strong portfolio. We're also looking at areas where we may be able to acquire IP covering OLED lighting or flexible OLED technologies with an attractive adjacent areas that will be complementary to and synergistic with our existing portfolio.

      On behalf of all of us at Universal Display, I would like to thank our supporters for the dedication to the company over the past 15 years. We believe that the events of this past quarter have demonstrated the value of that commitment and shown the incredible potential of OLED. We look forward to our future growth prospects and to sharing that growth with you as it materializes.

      With that, I'll turn the call over to Sid who will take you through the financial results in more detail.

      Sid Rosenblatt

      Thank you, Steve, and again thank you everyone for joining us on the call today. I'll be reviewing the financial results for the second quarter as well as sharing some insights from the quarter, after which we will open the call up to take your questions.

      Revenues for the second quarter totaled $11.3 million, a 33% increase compared to revenues of $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. Revenues for this past quarter are the best quarterly revenues in the company's history. And following the expected effects of seasonality on first quarter revenues, we also resumed our sequential revenue growth.

      Keep in mind that in comparing revenues year-over-year, from an accounting perspective, we've recognized $2.1 million in non-refundable payments as revenue in the second quarter of last year.

      Commercial revenue was $5.3 million for the second quarter, an increase of 170% compared to the commercial revenues of $ 2 million for the second quarter of 2010. The increase is primarily due to increased commercial chemical and royalty revenues mainly based on chemicals shipped and royalties received under patent licensing for Samsung SMD.

      As we have noted in the past, chemical revenues are recognized when our materials are purchased by OLED manufacturers who tend to buy in anticipation of the current or near-term production requirements. On the other hand, royalty revenue is recognized as products using our materials and technologies are sold by manufacturers. We received royalty reports a certain period for certain period after the quarter-end. Therefore, royalty revenue lags material purchases by approximately one quarter.

      Developmental revenue was $5.9 million for the second quarter, a 9% decrease compared to development revenue of $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to $2.1 million in non-refundable payments included in revenue for the second quarter of 2010. The whole amount of chemical revenue was up $1.3 million for the quarter and up by $3 million for the six months ended June 30 compared to the same period last year.

      As we've said in the past, we cannot accurately predict the timing of development chemical purchases due to the early stage of the OLED product research and development. But as Steve has pointed out earlier, more companies are approaching us, taking access to our materials and license rights compared to this time a year ago.

      Total operating expenses for the second quarter were $12.3 million, up 19% from $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. Sequentially, operating expenses were essentially in line with expenses for the first quarter. Outside of patent and legal expense, we would not expect operating expenses to vary significantly from these figures over the balance of the year.

      Research and development expenses for the first quarter were $5.6 million, up marginally compared to $5.5 million for the same period of 2010. Patent costs rose $1.9 million for the quarter compared to $843,000 for the same quarter in 2010, reflecting our aggressive descent of certain ongoing and new patent challenges as well as the timing (technical difficulty) maintenance cost associated with a number of issued patents and patent applications.

      Patent costs were $1.6 million for the first quarter, and it is likely that patent costs will be sustained or increased from current quarterly levels on a going forward basis.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $4.5 million, up from $3.6 million for the same quarter in 2010. The increase was mainly due to increased Board of Directors stock compensation employee costs, primarily executive stock compensation, and costs associated with the startup of certain new appointed subsidiaries.

      For the quarter, we reported an operating loss of $1.1 million, down from $1.9 million for the same quarter of 2010. The current quarter illustrates the leverage in our model as incremental revenues yield very attractive margins and contributed to improved operating results. I would also note that our loss improved by nearly $1.7 million from the first quarter of this year.

      In contrast to the stock warrant liability charges we have absorbed over the past quarters, the change in fair value of these warrants during the second quarter resulted in a $4.5 million non-cash gain. This compares to the $2.6 million loss that we recorded for the stock warrant liability in the second quarter of last year. The remaining warrants will expire in two weeks unless they are exercised by then.

      For the quarter, we had income tax expense of $289,000, reflecting the May 2010 expiration of our five-year exemption from Korean withholding tax on royalty payments received from Samsung SMD under our patent license agreement. Since May 2010, Samsung SMD has been withholding 16.5% in taxes from our royalty payments under our agreement.

      After taking the stock warrant liability expense into account, we reported a net income of $3.2 million for the second quarter or $0.07 per basic share compared to a net loss of $4.4 million or $0.12 per basic and diluted share for the same quarter of 2010.

      In earnings per share calculation for the second quarter of 2011, diluted EPS does not include the stock warrant liability gain in the numerator as it assumes the warrants were exercised at the beginning of the period. In contrast, there were no similar assumptions in the basic EPS calculation.

      Reducing GAAP net income by $4.4 million, stock warranty liability gains would produce roughly a $1.2 million loss for the quarter, which equates to $0.03 per diluted share.

      For the quarter, cash provided by operating activities was $223,000 compared to cash used of $2.3 million for the same period in 2010. This is the third consecutive quarter in which we generated positive cash from operating activities. The increase this quarter was mainly due to an improvement in the net loss excluding non-cash items of approximately $2.4 million on a year-over-year basis.

      As Steve briefly mentioned, our financial position is currently the best in the company's history. Our balance sheet remains strong with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $326 million as of June 30, much of which represents the net proceeds of $250 million from our equity offering earlier this year.

      With that, I'd like the operator to compile the Q&A list, and Steven and I will be happy to take your questions.

      PANL Jumps 12% On Lighting Deal With Panasonic Idemitsu
      By Tiernan Ray
      Not long after I filed the bull-bear debate on Universal Display (PANL) this afternoon, the company announced just after market close that it has obtained another deal for its organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, this time with Panasonic Idemitsu OLED Lighting Company, the joint venture of Panasonic Electric Works Co. Ltd., and Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd.
      Panasonic Idemitsu gets rights to use Universal’s “UniversalPHOLED” technology in its OLED lighting products, with the terms running through July of 2014. Some amount of the royalties involved will be paid up front to Universal, the company said, though the amounts involved were not disclosed.
      This is different from the deal discussed earlier today between Universal and Samsung Electronics (SSNLF), which pertained to computer displays, as opposed to lighting.
      PANL shares are up $2, or almost 4%, at $53.22 $6.28, or over 12%, at $57.50 in extended trading after falling 1% during the regular session.

      Universal Display (PANL): Sharp Rise, Fuzzy Picture

      by Melissa Davis - 10/3/2011 8:42:11 AM




      For a company that likes to brag about the sharp images created by its superior technology, Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: PANL) sure has painted a fuzzy picture for investors who helped recharge its fading stock.
      Less than two months ago, PANL had fallen below $25 a share – down sharply from the $63 peak it achieved this spring – on fears about a crucial contract used by Wall Street to assess the potential value of the company. PANL had by then spent more than a year simply extending its original contract with Samsung, its largest commercial customer by far, collecting royalty payments for use of patented technology that ranks as the smaller company’s primary asset. While Goldman Sachs and other bullish followers of the stock widely expected a jump in that royalty rate under a renegotiated deal, however, PANL ultimately revealed that the company would no longer receive royalty payments from the giant cell phone maker at all.

      PANL nevertheless soared 85% the week the company announced that new long-term agreement, adding $1 billion to its market value in the span of five short days, with analysts mistakenly assuming that PANL would continue to receive royalty payments – but at an even higher rate – until the company itself ultimately proved them wrong. According to a heavily redacted version of that important contract, stripped free of any financials terms that would expose the true value of the deal, PANL will receive a mere “license fee” from Samsung – rather than royalties based on actual sales of products using its patented technology – and (unspecified) revenue from chemical sales to the giant electronics company going forward.

      In other words, that contract indicates, PANL may never capitalize on the popularity of Samsung smart phones featuring the Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology that has long been viewed as the key to its own future success.

      “While terms were omitted, it is clear that the Samsung deal is a license agreement” and not a royalty-based agreement, Canaccord Genuity analyst Jonathan Dorsheimer conceded after PANL finally released an actual contract that reversed his earlier view. “Details are limited and are being kept to few senior executives at both SMD (Samsung Mobile Display) and UDC (Universal Display Corporation). Both parties believe they prevailed in the terms of the agreement, none of which where disclosed in the 8K” that included the heavily redacted contract.

      PANL failed to answer questions for this story.

      Notably, records indicate, PANL suffered a major legal setback that could have seriously weakened its own negotiating power – while bolstering that held by Samsung – when the two parties hammered out the terms of that long-delayed agreement. Back in late March, records show, the Japanese Patent Office invalidated all of the claims covered under two important PANL patents that had previously protected the company’s OLED technology and required Samsung to pay royalties based on sales of its OLED-enabled devices. While PANL escaped an immediate hit on that overlooked court ruling, with the stock actually soaring to a record high above $63 a share the very next week, it began to spiral lower after The Korea Times – an English-language newspaper in the country where Samsung is based – stepped forward to publicize the development.

      Barely a month after that foreign newspaper article appeared, gradually catching the attention of PANL bears in the weeks that followed, the stock had fallen to just half the record price that it had boasted in the spring. PANL continued to lose ground throughout most of the summer, sinking below $25 in early August, but the stock suddenly began to reverse course as the company finally neared the end of its drawn-out negotiations with Samsung.

      PANL soared 24% to almost $35 a share the day before the company even announced that new agreement, a striking jump on massive volume that would soon raise eyebrows at CNBC, and then rocketed straight past $40 on official news of the long-awaited deal. Although Wall Street rushed to celebrate that vague announcement as a big victory for PANL, however, The Korea Times took the opposite stand by portraying Samsung as the likely winner – poised to save “millions of dollars” in royalty fees – under that new contract instead.

      “The developments could allow firms based in Asia, such as Samsung and LG, to manufacture OLEDs,” one fund manager stated in the article, “without having to pay royalties to UDC for materials used.”

      With bullish analysts here in the U.S. clearly drowning out that faraway newspaper in the country that Samsung calls home, however, PANL saw its market value explode past $2 billion – almost doubling in size over the course of one short week – before the company even released the actual contract that sparked that breathtaking rally in its shares. The stock barely paused while investors tried to evaluate that heavily redacted contract, a real (if not impossible) challenge due to the complete absence of key financial terms, before taking off and ultimately breaking past the $60 mark once again.

      PANL insiders have capitalized on that surge with lucrative stock sales, banking $9.5 million since the company first announced its new contract with Samsung five short weeks ago. More than half a dozen insiders sold stock during that period, records show, with three key members of the senior management team – the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the chief technology officer – scoring hefty seven-figure gains that accounted for the majority of those impressive proceeds.

      If PANL has in fact granted only “a few senior executives” access to the crucial details of its new contract with Samsung, as Canaccord clearly indicated last month, those three officers look to many like the most obvious candidates for inclusion in that select group. With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reportedly examining the redacted version of that agreement, however, PANL could find itself unable to conceal the financial terms of that new contract under confidentiality measures – intended to block competitors, rather than investors, from sensitive material – for very long.

      The Alliance for Economic Stability (AES), a nonprofit organization focused on addressing potential abuses of securities laws, recently sent the SEC a detailed analysis – highlighting notable changes between the original royalty-based contract and the new licensing agreement -- that suggests the need for a thorough review. In essence, the AES claims, PANL has blatantly exploited loopholes in SEC disclosure policies by withholding the very information that investors need to determine the true value of the company.

      “This redaction makes impossible an evaluation of the 2011 agreement or a determination of PANL’s position vis-à-vis its competitors,” the AES states in a seven-page letter sent to the SEC Division of Corporate Finance about a week ago. “It appears, however, that rather than reflecting an extraordinary and unexpected positive development, as PANL has led the investment community to believe by way of the redacted filing, the 2011 agreement represents a substantial deterioration in PANL’s relationship with Samsung and its OLED business generally …

      “We respectfully suggest that the legal deficiencies in PANL’s disclosures, PANL’s seeming deceptiveness and the evident confusion in the marketplace mandate that PANL be required to disclose the complete and unredacted OLED patent license agreements between it and Samsung,” the AES declares. “We believe that requiring such disclosure would be consistent with the division’s role of ensuring that investors are provided with material information to assist them in making informed decisions and setting a fair and reasonable price for PANL’s stock.”

      For now, even after a notable slide last week, PANL continues to enjoy an incredibly rich premium based on expectations for explosive future growth. The market currently values PANL at $2.18 billion, a whopping 57 times its prior-year sales, even though the company has kept the financial terms of its most important contract – and the key driver of its stock – completely hidden away from public view.

      Red Ink

      Over the course of its 15-year history, records show, PANL has accumulated a staggering $225 million deficit while failing to report a single annual profit at all. Nevertheless, PANL has long commanded a generous stock price (based upon traditional measures) because of high hopes for its future success.

      PANL first debuted as a public company in the mid-1990s, records show, when it merged with an inactive shell and carried out a stock offering to supplement the $40 previously held in its barren bank account. Even then – as a young company with just eight employees (three of them part-time) – PANL was already touting the potential value of its future OLED technology. PANL had yet to launch any real operating activities at that point, however, and saw little chance of generating any revenue until the company could successfully test -- and ultimately commercialize -- the patented technology that would become its primary asset.

      After a few short years, with PANL still relying on research contracts for all of its meager revenue, the company had nevertheless achieved a double-digit price for its stock and a listing on the largest Nasdaq exchange. By early 2000 (a full year before PANL even joined forces with Samsung), records show, PANL already boasted a market value of half-a-billion dollars – a full 100 times the company’s paltry $500,000 in annual sales.

      PANL inked its original deal with Samsung in the fall of 2001, records show, when the two parties signed a joint-venture agreement to develop OLED-enabled display screens using the smaller company’s patented technology. PANL and Samsung then cemented that relationship in the spring of 2005, records show, with the important commercial contract that expired in the middle of last year.

      Under the terms of that original royalty-based deal, records indicate, PANL would receive a certain percentage of the revenue generated from the sale of Samsung devices featuring its patented OLED technology. With Samsung ranking as the largest manufacturer of OLED-enabled display screens on the planet – and PANL set to collect even a tiny portion (estimated below 1%) of those OLED-related sales -- the smaller company finally looked poised for future success. By relying on Samsung as the primary user of its core technology, however, PANL had largely tied its entire fate to that important relationship as well.

      To be sure, records indicate, PANL tried to broaden its customer base (and minimize that concentrated risk) by pitching its OLED technology to other giant electronics companies as well. However, despite smaller deals with some major companies -- including Sony (NYSE: SNE), LG Display (NYSE: LPL) and Pioneer – PANL has so far yet to land another contract that can even compare with the Samsung agreement responsible for generating an estimated 70% (or more) of its commercial sales.

      Nevertheless, by early 2007, PANL was already predicting that its OLED-related business would soon become quite lucrative indeed.

      “When we start getting license fees,” CFO Sidney Rosenblatt told the local Philadelphia Inquirer at the time, “our margins will be 94%.”

      Years later, however, PANL continued to lose money and remained saddled with negative operating and profit margins (of -20% and -54% respectively) instead. During 2010, easily its best full year on record, PANL virtually doubled its annual revenue to $30.5 million – with the help of record commercial sales – but the company still wound up losing almost $20 million in the end. PANL saw its overhead expenses rise by about 20% during that period, records show, with the costs of maintaining and protecting its patents in court (already measured in the millions) growing at a much faster clip.

      PANL faces multiple challenges to those patents, including several cases in Asia, where the company generates more than 80% of its commercial revenue. PANL has already lost one major case in Japan, records show, and still faces additional challenges both there and in Korea (plus another two in Europe) as well.

      Contrary to popular belief, records show, two different companies – Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK) and a division of Sumitomo – developed their own OLED technologies years before PANL ever arrived on the scene. Since then, records show, some of PANL’s own commercial customers have gone on to develop new OLED technologies as well. Meanwhile, just last week, the venture capital arm of Samsung – PANL’s most important customer of all – announced that it had taken an equity stake in another company, German-based Novaled, that ranks as a major player in the OLED arena.

      “Our investment in Novaled is consistent with our strategy to work closely with established market leaders,” Samsung Ventures Investment Corporation (SVIC) explained on Wednesday. “The company has demonstrated both a technical and business vision in driving adoption of OLED displays and lighting, and we look forward to contributing to the progress of Novaled” in the future.

      While Novaled now counts Samsung as an actual shareholder – with both companies poised to benefit financially by doing business with one another – PANL failed to negotiate even a royalty-based agreement with Samsung like the one that it previously had. Meanwhile, some experts feel, the new relationship between Samsung and Novaled only further complicates the mystery already surrounding the altered arrangement between Samsung and PANL itself.

      Rosy View

      If nothing else, at least, this much appears to be clear: PANL will not be receiving any royalty payments from Samsung under its new contract, let alone the higher royalties that were apparently baked into its stock before the company actually inked that deal. In late spring, with PANL fetching around $56 a share, Canaccord Genuity estimated that the stock already reflected a future royalty rate of 2% -- more than double the assumed rate then received by the company -- under a new Samsung contract and therefore faced little opportunity for additional upside going forward.

      “While we ultimately see a favorable agreement,” Canaccord stated when downgrading PANL from buy to hold this May, “we feel the current price is already pricing in the best-case scenario in not only the longer-term opportunity but a successful resolution to the Samsung negotiations” as well.

      PANL plummeted a full $10 to $46 a share on the day that report appeared, hit not only by the sobering downgrade but also by the company’s weak financial results. Despite a dramatic increase in first-quarter sales, including a 159% jump in commercial revenue, PANL reported another multimillion-dollar loss – almost three times the size expected by Wall Street – that rattled a market normally accustomed to red ink from the company.

      With PANL sinking toward $40 a share a few weeks later, Goldman Sachs stepped forward with a ringing endorsement of the company. As the lead manager of a big stock offering carried out by PANL two months earlier, records show, Goldman had joined together with its fellow underwriters to purchase a combined 575,000 shares of that newly issued stock at the below-market price of $46 a share. While those underwriters found themselves sitting on $10 million in paper gains just one week later, when PANL hit a record high above $63 a share, the stock soon began to reverse course and ultimately lost so much ground – falling below even the discounted offering price – that they wound up with sizable paper losses instead.

      Goldman threw its powerful name behind PANL at that point, initiating coverage of the company with a buy recommendation and a $55 price target on the shares. As previously calculated by Canaccord and further verified by Goldman itself, that $55 price assumed that PANL would more than double the estimated royalty rate that it had been receiving from Samsung when the two parties finally inked a new long-term agreement.

      In the meantime, however, even Goldman conceded that PANL looked rather pricey based upon traditional measures.

      “Although valuation appears high on near-term numbers and expectations are fairly elevated, we think the fundamental outlook for Universal is strong, with our estimates biased to the upside, supporting our buy rating,” Goldman stated at the time. Meanwhile, “slower adoption of OLED displays, lower royalty rates and challenges to the company’s IP (intellectual property) are fundamental risks to the downside.”

      One of those downside risks erupted into full-blown news just a few days later, when The Korea Times reported that a recent decision in Japan – invalidating all of the claims covered under two important OLED patents held by PANL – could allow Samsung to save “millions of dollars” in royalty payments going forward. PANL sank $3 to less than $38 a share on the day that news appeared, erasing the momentary lift provided by the most powerful firm on Wall Street, and went on to fall another $10 a share in the summer months that followed.

      PANL finally staged its big comeback in late August, when the company announced the new Samsung contract and sparked an immediate celebration among Wall Street analysts and ordinary investors alike. For its part, Goldman quickly (but prematurely) predicted that PANL had negotiated higher royalty rates under a new contract that actually eliminated all royalty payments instead. Even after PANL spoiled this hopeful theory by releasing the official contract, however, Goldman maintained its bullish stand on the company and actually raised its price target on the stock – by a full $20 – to $65 a share.

      But other firms took a more cautious approach, clearly bothered by the secretive treatment of that long-awaited deal. Although PANL had managed to hit $50 a share on hopeful speculation about that agreement, Oppenheimer wondered aloud just how long that rally could last.

      “What is missing is additional detailed information,” Oppenheimer cautioned a few days after PANL released a heavily redacted version of the new contract, “which is necessary for the stock to hold onto its current gains, in our view.”

      Meanwhile, Avondale soon followed up with a surprising revelation that hinted at the possibility of additional clues about that contract in the near term. Specifically, in a report issued on Aug. 31, Avondale indicated that regulators had taken notice of the vague contract and could soon take action – by forcing additional disclosures from the company – as well.

      “Details of the agreements remain fuzzy,” Avondale noted at the time. But “the SEC will review the redacted version of the agreement within the next two to three weeks and could decide the terms are material and must be disclosed.

      “Should the financial terms be below expectations,” Avondale added, “shares could be impacted” on the news.

      While a full month has passed since Avondale announced that possible SEC review, however, PANL has released no additional information about its new Samsung agreement and has given no indication that it might face regulatory orders to do so. Unless that situation changes, critics emphasize, PANL investors could be forced to wait months for the company to actually report financial results that expose the true impact of that contract.

      Meanwhile, as noted above, PANL insiders – including top executives with likely access to crucial information that ordinary shareholders lack – have already struck it rich by selling millions of dollars worth of stock ignited by high hopes for that top-secret deal.

      Ugly Stain

      By now, the leaders of PANL – including Chairman Sherwin Seligsohn, CEO Steven Abramson and CFO Sidney Rosenblatt -- have already stained their records with one notable failure in the technology space.

      Before that trio launched PANL, records show, they spent years running another company – originally known as International Mobile Machines (IMM) – that looked like a hopeless disaster throughout their reign and much of the decade that followed. PANL has embraced the same kind of business model originally adopted by IMM, records indicate, which banked its future on patented technology that could potentially lead to lucrative royalty-based partnership deals.

      IMM had spent years operating in the red by the time it inked a celebrated agreement with BellSouth in the fall of 1988, an old Barron’s article reveals, which promised to finally reverse the fortunes of the struggling company. At that point, Barron’s noted, IMM had already seen its market value soar -- topping 65 times its prior-year sales – based on mere hopes that the new contract could finally transform the company into a profitable success.

      “The enthusiasm of IMM’s rooting section on the Street is reflected in the high market evaluation of its shares,” Barron’s observed at the time. “However, there are some strenuous naysayers … IMM last month had the dubious honor of being the third most-shorted OTC issue.”

      IMM continued to bleed despite the announcement of other promising contracts, the Philadelphia Business Journal reported in mid-1990, with the stock spiraling from a 52-week high above $10 a share to as low as one-third of that peak price. By then, under the direction of its original leaders (who would soon begin to distance themselves from the troubled company), IMM had reportedly sullied its reputation on Wall Street as well.

      IMM officials have “a long history of touting their own stock,” Raymond James analyst John Bain told the Philadelphia Business Journal at the time. And “that hurts their credibility.”

      Like PANL, records show, IMM counted its extensive patents as its primary asset. For his part, however, Bain portrayed those patents as almost useless in a high-tech arena dominated by powerful giants that would not allow a small company like IMM to push them around. To expect otherwise, he indicated, would be a futile exercise in “wishful thinking” at best.

      By the end of the following year, records show, the trio of original IMM leaders who would later run PANL had all resigned and left behind a company facing a decade of remarkable turmoil. IMM reinvented itself as InterDigital (Nasdaq: IDCC) in 1992, records show, and then hired a series of CEOs – including one later sanctioned by regulators for allegedly violating insider trading laws – in a frustrating hunt for stability and success. After trying out several different candidates (all of them short-lived), Pennsylvania magazine noted back in 2000, IDCC actually gave up for a while and spent almost three years operating without a CEO at all.

      The company finally filled that long-vacant post in April of 2000, the magazine reported, when it hired an industry veteran away from giant Motorola (NYSE: MMI) – which had prevailed over IDCC in a fierce patent war – to become its new turnaround CEO. When he first accepted that challenging position, the magazine revealed, Mark Gercenstein sparked a fresh wave of hope for the company and its wildly volatile tech stock.

      “Gercenstein arrives at a time of intense interest in wireless technologies and after a tumultuous decade for the small technology company,” the magazine observed at the time. “His mission at InterDigital includes cultivating better relationships with Wall Street – no analysts currently cover the company – as well as growing the company and adding management and technical depth.”

      But IDCC abruptly decided to replace Gercenstein just seven months later, the Philadelphia Business Journal reported, alarming investors and hammering its stock price with the inexplicable move. Only then did IDCC finally appoint a lasting chief who, together with his successor (current CEO William Merritt), transformed the company into the success that it is today.

      Although PANL leaders may like to cite their past experience at IDCC as solid evidence of their own success, critics remind, the company never turned a profit while they were in charge and continued to struggle long after they had already left.

      Black Marks

      Once they abandoned IMM, records show, that same trio wasted little time before launching the technology company that they oversee right now. Within five years, records indicate, they had taken PANL public as a small-cap stock on the Nasdaq exchange and – together with former IMM consultant Dean Ledger – initially served as the only executives and directors of the brand-new company.

      After upgrading to the Nasdaq National Market stock exchange in September of 2000, records show, PANL soon began to appoint some of the more notable directors who now serve on the company’s board. First, just weeks after that move to the larger Nasdaq exchange, PANL welcomed C. Keith Hartley into its boardroom and placed him on both its audit and its compensation committees as well.

      Hartley had previously spent 17 years working as a managing partner in the corporate finance department at Drexel Burnham Lambert, The Washington Post noted in the past, the notorious firm (which counted IMM as a past client) where Michael Milken made his name as the so-called “junk bond king” before his conviction on fraud-related charges. When PANL tapped him as a new director, records show, Hartley already filled a boardroom seat at Comdisco – another technology company – that had recently placed the founder’s daring young son, Nicholas Pontikas, in charge and would soon pay a high price for his poorly supervised activities.

      “Mr. Pontikes, with the blessing of Comdisco’s board of directors, made one big bet after another on just about every risky new economy role he could find,” Crain’s Chicago Business reported after the once-profitable company imploded the following year. “He convinced the board that the new economy was speeding by, and Comdisco needed to catch up – fast. (And) nobody put on the brakes.”

      In just two short years, the newspaper marveled in late 2001, young Pontikes had managed to effectively destroy a solid company that had taken his father an entire quarter-of-a-century to build. That breathtaking collapse actually made history, the newspaper revealed, with Comdisco filing one of the biggest bankruptcy cases on record at that time.

      By then, PANL had appointed another new director to serve on its own board as well. Leonard Becker began his long tenure as a PANL director in January of 2001, records show, shortly after Ledger – who still handles publicity for the company – ended his service as an early director (appointed before PANL even went public) and opened up a seat.

      Like Hartley, records show, Becker arrived at PANL as the director of another public company that would later suffer a disastrous fate. He served on the board at American Business Financial Services (ABFS), Dow Jones has reported in the past, a subprime mortgage lender that went bankrupt in 2005 after allegedly concealing massive losses from the public for years. Angry investors blamed ABFS officers and directors (including Becker himself) for that failure, Dow Jones noted, suing them – for alleged fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, mismanagement and negligence – after their stock turned into worthless pieces of paper.

      Like Hartley, records show, Becker also fills dual roles at PANL – as a member of both its audit and its compensation committees – that serve two critical, but vastly different, purposes. On the one hand, PANL has assigned the pair important responsibilities by relying on them to verify the accuracy of the financial statements used by investors to evaluate the company. On the other hand, however, PANL has also afforded them opportunistic powers by allowing them to establish compensation packages for the very insiders who awarded them their lucrative board seats in the first place.

      They responded to the latter call in dramatic fashion last year, records indicate, by approving the most generous compensation packages (by far) that the company’s top executives had ever seen. For starters, records show, they established a brand-new retirement plan that will allow any officer who works at PANL for at least 15 years and remains at the company through traditional retirement age to keep on collecting a valuable chunk of his base salary for as long as he (or his spouse) happens to live.

      The CEO and CFO have by now already completed 14 of those 15 years of service, records show, with the first set to reach 65 in just six years and the second poised to hit that same magical age well before that. As a result, PANL set aside more than $5.3 million last year just to prepare for those future paychecks.

      Thanks to that new retirement plan and multimillion-dollar stock awards, records show, the CEO saw his total compensation package balloon to $6.36 million (from $1.19 million previously) last year. Because the CFO will hit retirement age earlier, qualifying for those lifetime benefits in just two short years, his compensation package swelled to an even larger $7.68 million (up from $1.94 million in 2009) during that same period.

      All told, records show, the CEO and CFO received compensation packages worth $14 million – a sum equal to almost half the revenue that PANL generated throughout 2010 – for the very year when the company’s most important contract expired. The board tried to justify those handsome payouts by included PANL in a peer group crowded with profitable companies, records show, even though PANL – despite its losses – still spent more on its top executives than three-quarters of those other firms did.

      The CEO further boosted his big paycheck by selling about $1 million worth of stock last year, records show, with the CFO pocketing even fatter profits on his own stock sales in that same period. They have gone on to collect another $5 million, more than half of that last month, in stock proceeds since that time.

      Since 2005 (the year that PANL landed its original contract with Samsung), records show, insiders have sold $30 million worth of stock in the company. Notably, records indicate, they collected roughly $20 million – or two-thirds of that total – during the brief, but critical, 15-month period after the company’s original contract with Samsung first expired.

      To critics, that striking pattern speaks volumes about the top-secret contract that PANL seems so reluctant to openly discuss. While PANL insiders limited their stock sales when the company’s relationship with Samsung still felt young and promising, critics say, they dramatically increased their profit-taking as the magic seemed to fade.

      Manuel Asensio, cofounder of the organization that provided regulators with a detailed comparison of the original Samsung agreement and the mysterious contract that replaced it, feels confident that the honeymoon for those two parties has obviously ended.

      “They got married in 2005,” reminds Asensio, who says that neither he nor his organization holds a short position in PANL’s stock. “This was not a celebration of the vows.

      “No,” he concludes, “this was more like a divorce.”

      * Important Disclosure: Prior to the publication of this article, TheStreetSweeper (through its members) established a short position in PANL with the intention of profiting on declines in the share price.

      Universal Display Awarded U.S. Department of Energy SBIR Phase II Contract for White OLED Lighting
      Company will build on successful Phase I program to extend white phosphorescent OLED lighting panel operating lifetime with novel thermal management techniques

      Press Release Source: Universal Display Corporation On Tuesday October 11, 2011, 4:01 pm EDTEWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL - News), enabling energy-efficient OLED displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded the company a $999,963 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant. The goal of the program is to demonstrate further gains in the performance of large-area, phosphorescent organic light emitting device (PHOLED) lighting panels through enhanced thermal management techniques. This new program builds on the achievements demonstrated by Universal Display during the previous Phase I program.
      Under this program, Universal Display will design and build large-area white OLED lighting panels using the company’s energy-efficient UniversalPHOLED technology and materials in conjunction with novel thermal management techniques. Lighting panels that use the company’s PHOLED technology and materials already generate far less heat than traditional OLEDs. Through the use of thermal management techniques, operating temperature can be further minimized to extend operating lifetime.
      “We are very pleased to further our efforts in this area with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy, and we firmly believe that our UniversalPHOLED technologies and materials are critical to enabling energy-efficient, high-performance white OLED lighting,” said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display. “Universal Display continues to build technology and design solutions that will provide lighting manufacturers with the right tools to develop high-value added OLED lighting products, as our technologies and materials have done for the display industry. We look forward to demonstrating the potential for efficient OLED lighting to meet U.S. DOE targets and accelerate the commercialization of OLED lighting.”
      The U.S. Department of Energy has supported research and development of solid-state lighting, including OLED lighting, since 2003. According to the DOE, lighting accounts for approximately 24 percent of the total electricity generated in the United States today. It is estimated that by 2030 the development and widespread deployment of solid-state lighting could reduce national electricity use for lighting by one-third. Universal Display is the leading innovator and supplier of phosphorescent OLED technology and materials to the OLED display and lighting industries.

      Cree's Shares Surged: What You Need to Know
      By Anders Bylund | More Articles

      November 4, 2011 | Comments (0)
      Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
      What: Shares of LED lighting specialist Cree (Nasdaq: CREE ) lit up a 12.4% intraday price jump on heavy volume.
      So what: Other alternative lighting experts also soared today: Veeco Instruments (Nasdaq: VECO ) gained as much as 19.5%, OLED guru Universal Display (Nasdaq: PANL ) notched a 17.4% top, and microcap SemiLEDS (Nasdaq: LEDS ) crushed 'em all with a 41% jump. Why all this alt-light enthusiasm? Because China plans to ban incandescent light bulbs over the next five years, thus creating a ginormous market for replacements. Conversely, light bulb giants Philips (NYSE: PHG ) , Siemens (NYSE: SI ) , and General Electric (NYSE: GE ) all fell 3% or more today.
      Now what: In particular, these Westerners are jumping for joy because China's local LED industry is several years behind the technology curve according to industry analysts. Regular old 100-watt bulbs will be banned from sale in China less than a year from now, with steps down the power scale to outlaw 15-watt bulbs in 2016. America already has a similar plan going on, but China is simply a much larger market.Interested in more info about Cree? Click here to add it to My Watchlist.

      Die Frage ist jetzt nicht mehr, ob das LED-Geschäft wieder in Schwung kommt, sondern mit welchem Unternehmen man jetzt die besten Renditen erzielt in den nächsten Monaten.

      Bei AIX habe ich einen guten Einblick, bin aber sicher,
      dass ich mir 2 oder 3 weitere kleine Unternehmen, wie
      Nexxus etc. ins Depot lege !

      Universal Display in for less revenue from Samsung: analysts
      012. 01. 03 11:18am EST


      (Reuters) - LED supplier Universal Display Corp (PANL.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) may get lower revenue than expected from key client Samsung Electronics (005930.KS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), brokerage Canaccord Genuity said.
      Shares of Universal Display fell 11 percent on Tuesday to a low of $32.77 on Nasdaq, and were down 10 percent at $33.07 late morning in heavy trade.
      They have shed nearly a fourth of their value over the last three months.
      In a note released on Monday, analysts at Canaccord Genuity said it now sees the Samsung licensing opportunity at about $290 million to $300 million, through 2017, compared with its earlier assumption of $350 million to $375 million.
      The brokerage cut its price target on Universal Display shares to $35 from $40 but maintained its "hold" rating.
      "We have lowered our numbers to reflect a lower implied royalty rate for Samsung and rest of industry as a consequence," the brokerage said.
      In August, Ewing, New Jersey-based Universal said it will license certain technologies and sell materials to a unit of Samsung Electronics (005930.KS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), which will help the Korean company to develop next generation flat-panel displays.
      The brokerage said investors looking for a positive near-term catalyst may be in for a disappointment due to a possible delay in a long-term agreement with LG Electronics Inc
      (066570.KS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
      Universal has over 1,000 patents for technologies and materials, which are vital for manufacturing organic light emitting device panels used in smartphones and tablets.

      LUMIOTEC AND UNIVERSAL DISPLAY ANNOUNCE
      TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR OLED LIGHTING

      Lumiotec to manufacture and market novel OLED lighting products using Universal
      Display’s highly-efficient, high-performance UniversalPHOLED
      ®
      technology and materials


      Yamagata, Japan and Ewing, New Jersey, January 09, 2012 – Lumiotec Inc., founded by
      Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Rohm Co., Ltd., Toppan Printing Co., Ltd., and Mitsui &
      Co., Ltd. in 2008 to develop, manufacture and sell OLED lighting panels, and Universal
      Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with
      its UniversalPHOLED technology and materials, today announced that the companies have
      entered into an OLED technology license agreement. Under the new agreement, Lumiotec
      will be licensed to integrate Universal Display’s proprietary UniversalPHOLED
      phosphorescent and other OLED technologies and materials into OLED lighting products.

      “We are pleased to be ready for world’s first mass production of high-efficiency OLED
      lighting panels through collaboration with Universal Display,” said Hisao Shigenaga,
      President of Lumiotec. “This is a major breakthrough in the OLED lighting industry. We
      hope to further strengthen our partnership with Universal Display and have a strong position
      as a leading player of the next-generation lighting.” “We are pleased to enter into this arrangement with Lumiotec, the world’s first company established to be exclusively dedicated to the manufacture and sale of OLED lighting panels,” said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal
      Display. “It is a very positive sign for the emerging OLED lighting industry to have
      Lumiotec, with industry-leading founders like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Rohm, Toppan
      Printing and Mitsui & Co., committed to making and selling high-performance OLED
      lighting products. Universal Display looks forward to continuing to work with Lumiotec to
      accelerate their efforts in bringing energy-efficient OLED lighting products to the market
      using our high-efficiency phosphorescent OLED technology and materials.”

      Under the license agreement, Universal Display grants Lumiotec license rights under various
      patents and associated know-how owned or controlled by Universal Display for Lumiotec to
      manufacture and sell certain OLED products for lighting applications. Lumiotec will pay
      Universal Display license fees and running royalties on its sales of these licensed products
      under the agreement. The term of the agreement runs through December 31, 2015. Universal
      Display separately agreed to sell to Lumiotec certain OLED materials for use by Lumiotec in
      manufacturing OLED products as authorized under the agreement.

      Combining Lumiotec’s multi-photon emission device technology with UniversalPHOLED
      technology and materials, Lumiotec will establish mass production capability of high
      luminance, long lifetime, and high-efficiency OLED lighting panels. Lumiotec will start to
      deliver in February 2012 mainly 145 x 145 mm square sized, warm white color, and 40 lm/W
      OLED lighting sample panels and in April mass production models. Lumiotec also continues
      to develop natural white color, high-efficient OLED lighting panels, aiming at the release in
      the same year.

      OLED lighting has the potential to lower global energy demands and lessen the
      environmental impacts associated with lighting. It has been estimated that by 2016, OLEDs
      could generate well over $20 billion in worldwide savings of electricity costs and could save
      over nine million metric tons of carbon emissions from the U.S. alone. Recent advances in
      OLED lighting, including those made by Universal Display, now allow OLEDs to meet a
      variety of niche lighting performance targets and to demonstrate the potential for OLEDs to achieve general lighting targets established by the U.S. Department of Energy. Universal
      Display’s phosphorescent OLED technology and materials have demonstrated a four-to-one
      power advantage over other OLED technologies, resulting in record energy-efficient OLEDs.
      In addition, OLED lighting may enable a range of exciting new product concepts with
      innovative form factors, transparency and flexibility.

      Diese Aktie hat meiner Meinung nach ein RIESEN Potential. Wen mann bedenkt das der Oled-Markt ein Milliarden Markt wird und UD Marktführer ist und wie mikrig bisher der Umsatz ist, kann mann sich ausrechnen was das bedeutet. Schade das hier so wenig über diese Zukunftstechnologie diskutiert wird. Was meint Ihr zu den nächsten Zahlen? (Natürlich nur meine Meinung)

      Universal Display Corporation : Announces Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
      08/08/2012 | 04:20pm US/Eastern

      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today announced its results for the second quarter of 2012.

      For the second quarter of 2012, the Company reported net income of $11.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, on revenues of $30.0 million. For the second quarter of 2011, the Company reported net income of $3.3 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, on revenues of $11.3 million. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company recognized $15.0 million in revenue under a licensing agreement with Samsung Display Corporation (SDC, and formerly Samsung Mobile Display) under which SDC is obligated to make payments to the Company of $15.0 million in each of the second and fourth quarters of this year. Results for the second quarter of 2011 included a $4.5 million, non-cash gain on stock warrant liability.

      "We are pleased to report the best quarterly financial results in our Company's history," said Sidney D. Rosenblatt, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal Display. "The significant increase in licensing revenue and a near doubling of material sales in the quarter reflect the growth of our OLED technology. Looking at the first half of the year, we generated over $9.2 million in operating cash flow, while improving operating income by over $15.0 million on a $21.8 million increase in revenues compared to the first half of fiscal 2011. We believe our financial performance illustrates our success in leveraging our proprietary technology and materials and OLED industry leadership to provide attractive returns for our shareholders."

      Second Quarter Results

      Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $30.0 million, a 166 percent increase compared to revenues of $11.3 million in the same quarter of 2011. Material sales were $12.8 million in the quarter, up 92 percent from $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, as a result of expanded marketplace adoption of our technology and materials. Royalty and license fees were $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, up 479 percent compared to $2.7 million in the same quarter of 2011. Royalty and license revenue in the second quarter of 2012 included the recognition of a $15.0 million semi-annual license payment from SDC compared to $1.8 million of SDC royalty revenue in last year's second quarter. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $17.1 million compared to $12.3 million in the same quarter of 2011, primarily due to an increase in cost of materials, employee and research and development expenses. The Company reported operating income of $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2012, an improvement of $14.0 million compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2011.

      Cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2012 was $11.2 million, compared to $223,000 for the second quarter of 2011.

      The Company's balance sheet remained strong, with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $350.0 million as of June 30, 2012. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company used $4.0 million to fund an investment in Plextronics, and $105.0 million to purchase approximately 1,255 OLED patents and patent applications from Fujifilm Corporation.

      First Six Months Results

      Revenues for the first six months of 2012 were $42.6 million, a 104 percent increase from the first half of 2011. Material sales in the first half of the year were $23.4 million, an increase of 108 percent compared to material sales of $11.2 million in the first half of 2011. Operating income in the first half of 2012 was $11.4 million, or 27 percent of revenues. Operating income in the first half of 2012 increased over $15.0 million to $11.4 million compared to the operating loss of $3.8 million in the first half of 2011. For the first half of 2012, we reported net income of $9.7 million, or $0.21 cents per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the same period in 2011. The net loss in the first six months of 2011 included a $4.5 million loss on stock warrant liability.

      Mr. Rosenblatt concluded, "We believe that the widespread adoption of OLED technology is creating growth opportunities for our innovative technologies and materials. We are investing strategically to add new capabilities in our existing, adjacent and developing OLED markets in a manner designed to build effectively on our materials and technologies where we have a leading industry position. We formed a strategic alliance to accelerate the development and commercialization of solution-based OLED material systems incorporating our PHOLED materials with our partners' hole injection and hole transport materials. And, we most recently purchased approximately 1,255 OLED patents and patent applications. We believe that these actions clearly demonstrate our commitment to enhancing our portfolio of intellectual property and materials to extend our industry leadership and help accelerate the growth of the OLED market."

      GUIDANCE

      The Company's arrangement with SDC provides a substantial amount of visibility into its potential future financial performance. Although the OLED industry is still at a stage where many variables can have a material effect on growth, in an effort to increase our transparency, Universal Display is providing the following financial guidance. Again with the caveat that the OLED industry is still in an early stage, the Company believes that its revenues will be in the range of $90 million to $110 million for fiscal 2012.

      In conjunction with this release, Universal Display will host a conference call, followed by a question and answer session, on Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Interested parties may participate by calling 877-340-7912 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time and referencing conference ID 3189414.

      Better Tech Growth Play for 2013: Universal Display or Skyworks Solutions?

      By Anders Bylund | More Articles | Save For Later
      January 16, 2013 | Comments (0)

      At first glance, Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) doesn't seem to have much in common with Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS ) . One develops basic technologies for OLED display and lighting products, and makes its hay from licensing these inventions to other companies. The other designs and manufactures a wide variety of semiconductors, with a heavy emphasis on wireless radio subsystems. Apples, meet oranges.

      But their paths do cross in three important ways:

      *

      Both are high-octane growth stocks, whose investors have their gaze firmly locked on the far future.
      *

      Both rely on the exploding market for mobile computing systems, just from different angles.
      *

      Neither ticker has been kind to shareholders over the last two years. Both stocks have plunged about 26% while the S&P 500 index marched upward by 17%.

      So which of these mobile bets is the better hypergrowth play in 2013? My money is literally on Universal Display, and here's why.

      Market opportunity
      Skyworks is packed into a crowded field of direct competitors. Handset makers have many suppliers to choose from when designing their wireless communications systems. The company does benefit from a tight partnership with central processor giant Qualcomm, which gives Skyworks a leg up on many other suppliers, but every new contract is still a battle.

      Universal Display has cornered the market on phosphorescent OLED technologies. Anyone who wants to make a display using these power-efficient materials has to get a license from Universal Display first. Research breakthroughs and the construction of large-scale manufacturing facilities in recent years have made OLED screens common today, chiefly in smartphones and tablets from Samsung. Going mainstream has done wonders for Universal Display's revenues.

      PANL Revenue TTM Chart

      PANL Revenue TTM data by YCharts.

      For some investors, the choice might come down to brand loyalty. Skyworks counts Apple as one of its largest customers, and tends to rise and fall in tandem with the Cupertino stock. Likewise, Universal Display has hitched its wagon to the Samsung horse in a big way. Hence, you might feel like a traitor for placing a real-money bet on the stock across the aisle.

      I wouldn't recommend locking your analysis into these rival camps, though. Skyworks may glean 29% of annual sales from Apple, but 17% comes from Samsung, and these two still make up less than half of the company's revenue pie.

      Universal Display gets 80% of its revenue from just three customers, of which Samsung is the largest by far. But the OLED market is still in its infancy, and several display specialists are currently building brand-new factories to join the game later on. When that happens, Samsung will get plenty of OLED company on store shelves. One day, even Apple might join the OLED party. In fact, I'd be surprised if that didn't happen in the next two years.

      The current focus on small smartphone and tablet screens will also soon make way for much larger TV sets, not to mention the as-yet-untapped general lighting opportunity. I could go on (and on, and on), but let's just say that the upcoming catalysts add up to tons of dynamite

      Why Universal Display Shares Popped

      What: Shares of Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) popped today by as much as 18%, after the company was discussed at Columbia's Value Investing Conference.

      So what: Universal Display was framed as a possible best idea pick at the conference, which is particularly notable, because most investors would consider UDC as anything but a value stock. Shares trade at 147 times earnings and 17.5 times sales, well into growth territory.

      Now what: The discussion led to hopes that UDC could become the "Qualcomm of OLED," with its broad patent portfolio, much like how Qualcomm extracts royalties on virtually every smartphone sold. The portfolio could be undervalued at current prices. Presentations at investing conferences have been known to move stocks in the past, and that was the case today for Universal Display, even though there was no official news out from the company.

      More Expert Advice from The Motley Fool
      Universal Display has a powerful patent portfolio behind OLEDs, a technology poised to dominate the displays of the future. Its placement at the center of OLEDs makes the company an underappreciated way to play the enormous sales growth in tablets and smartphones. However, like any new technology, there are plenty of risks to Universal Display.

      Here's Why Samsung and LG Are Finally Playing Nice

      By Steve Symington | More Articles | Save For Later
      February 6, 2013 | Comments (0)

      According to a Korea Times report from Monday, Samsung and LG Display (NYSE: LPL ) have agreed to end their OLED patent disputes with the help of mediation from the South Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy.

      The legal wrangling began last September when Samsung Display filed an injunction against LG, claiming its employees stole technology related to Samsung's OLED development. LG then quickly filed suit, simultaneously claiming its behemoth competitor violated seven of LG's patents and seeking a complete sales ban on Samsung's OLED devices. Naturally, Samsung filed a countersuit shortly afterward asserting the patents in question lacked innovation and should be nullified.

      Meanwhile in Japan, Sony (NYSE: SNE ) and Panasonic (NYSE: PC ) were busy making good on last year's promise to collaboratively "develop and commercialize [their] own competitive, high-performance, next-generation OLED televisions and large-sized displays." Sure enough, at last month's Consumer Electronics Show, both companies unveiled eerily similar products in the world's first 4K 56-inch OLED televisions.

      Not to be outdone at CES 2013, Samsung showcased the world's first curved large-screen OLED display at the show, and LG's 55-inch model weighs just 12.5 pounds and is a mind-boggling 4 millimeters thick. Even more intriguing, LG was recently tasked by the Korean government with producing a 60-inch transparent, flexible OLED television by 2017.

      Of course, both Samsung and LG revealed their first large-screen OLED televisions at CES more than a year ago, and the stage is set for the products to become commercially available in the U.S. within the next few months. Even so, while the Japanese televisions are still nowhere near commercialization, the fact the OLED TV market is no longer a two-horse race was more than enough to kick the Korean archrivals into cooperation mode.

      When the dust settles, Samsung and LG will likely sign a cross-licensing agreement to give both companies free rein on each others' OLED patents, effectively thwarting unnecessary chest-thumping and encouraging Korean innovation to resume.

      Another OLED winner
      Amid all the competition, then, how can investors make money regardless of who wins the OLED race? Consider OLED specialist Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) , which not only profits from providing host materials to the OLED industry but also licenses its massive hoard of patents to all four of the aforementioned companies.

      Up until now, Universal Display's coffers have been primarily filled by millions of OLED screens incorporated into Samsung's smartphones. Going forward, however, as economies of scale improve and OLED TV production starts picking up steam, it's a safe bet Universal Display's revenue from licensing and material sales will increase dramatically. When that happens, patient PANL shareholders can expect their portfolios to follow suit.

      Why Universal Display Still Has Plenty of Room to Run

      Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) is a company with a lot of potential disruptive power. It owns patents to the new OLED display technology, and many investors are looking to the smartphone and tablet space for where this technology is going to take off first. In this video, Motley Fool tech and telecom analyst Andrew Tonner highlights a conference call from Cowen, saying that Samsung will begin producing full HD AMOLED displays this month for use in its next version of the Galaxy 5 phone. This sent shares of Universal Display up by more than 10%. Andrew tells us why he thinks the stock can go much further in the long run.

      Universal Display has a powerful patent portfolio behind OLEDs, a technology poised to dominate the displays of the future.

      UDC getting closer for UniversalBarrier mass production?
      Samsung UDC Flexible OLED Encapsulation

      Last month Universal Display gave an update regarding their UniversalBarrier single-layer encapsulation technology. They said that the technology is being evaluation by Samsung, and that UDC has a working 6" R&D deposition machine for the encapsulation layer. UDC said the technology is not ready for Samsung's Gen-5.5 line yet.

      UDC posted a new job opening today for a Flexible OLED lighting researcher, to do some "advanced development of UDC’s thin film OLED encapsulation technology". The candidate "may take part in technology transfer of the process technologies from UDC’s Pilot Line into a customer’s mass production environment. This may involve frequent international travel". It seems that the company is indeed adapting its technology for Samsung's flexible OLED line.

      Samsung launched their YOUM flexible OLED panels at CES, but the company didn't reveal any actual launch date. Samsung is still using LTPS as the production process is too hot for the plastic substrate (the LTPS transistors are deposited on glass and the glass is later delaminated). The encapsulation technology is Vitex's multi-layer technology which is very slow (the panel has to enter the evaporation chamber 6 times). Samsung's license allows them to use all of UDC's IP, and so they will not pay extra for the encapsulation technology. This also holds true for UDC's basic plastic-on-OLED patent.

      Of course Samsung is not alone in its flexible OLED research, the above mentioned mass production environment may belong to LG display - who's also gearing up towards flexible plastic-based OLED production by the end of 2013. Samsung seems to be on the forefront of flexible OLED though.

      3 Sentences That Knocked Down Universal Display
      By Evan Niu, CFA | More Articles | Save For Later
      February 12, 2013 | Comments (0)

      It wasn't a very good morning for OLED specialist Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) . Shares were already underperforming the broader market when suddenly they tanked and were down nearly 7% at the low before recovering most of those losses.



      PANL data by YCharts.

      What was the cause behind the drop? It turns out that three sentences were all it took to knock down Universal Display.

      Sticks and stones may break my bones, but Tim Cook just bashed OLED
      I've long held the belief that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) would one day adopt OLED technology in its displays. The technology has benefits that are right in line with what Apple values: better power efficiency and the ability to facilitate thinner form factors. On top of that, Apple already has numerous patents filed related to OLED technology, so we know it continues to at least explore the idea.

      One of the hurdles to such a move has always been supply constraints, since Apple has high volume needs. We can now add another couple of reasons why Apple has not adopted OLED displays, and may not anytime soon, if at all. Here are the three sentences that Tim Cook uttered regarding OLED displays during the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference this morning.

      "The color saturation is awful."
      "You should think twice before you depend on the color of the OLED display."
      "The Retina display is twice as bright as an OLED display."


      Cook's response was to a question regarding smartphone specifications and screen sizes, so him bringing up OLEDs out of the blue may have caught investors off guard. Of course, Apple's biggest rival is Samsung, who is Universal Display's largest customer and a major proponent of OLED displays. The South Korean company now frequently uses AMOLED displays in its high-end flagship products, including both the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II.

      Instead, Apple has long been rumored to be exploring IGZO display technology, which is compatible with both traditional LCD displays as well as OLED displays. Sharp, one of Apple's display suppliers, prototyped both IGZO LCD panels and IGZO OLED panels last year. It seems that if Apple goes with IGZO some day soon, it'll likely be the LCD variety, much to the chagrin of Universal Display investors.

      Universal Display has a powerful patent portfolio behind OLEDs, a technology poised to dominate the displays of the future. Its placement at the center of OLEDs makes the company an underappreciated way to play the enormous sales growth in tablets and smartphones. However, like any new technology, there are plenty of risks to Universal Display. I've authored a new premium report that dives into reasons to buy the company as well as the challenges facing it.

      Is Apple's Secret OLED Hire a Game Changer?
      By Steve Symington
      February 14, 2013

      Shareholders of OLED specialist Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) were left shaking their heads Tuesday as their stock suddenly dropped more than 6% in an otherwise uneventful session. Though Universal Display recovered to close up for the day, many were left wondering what spooked the market to cause such a plunge.

      So what happened? Speaking at an investment conference held by Goldman Sachs on Tuesday, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) CEO Tim Cook made some disparaging statements about the OLED displays made possible by Universal's technology and championed by competitors including Samsung and LG Display (NYSE: LPL ) . Instead, he pointed consumers to Apple's own Retina Display as the best available option, noting it is twice as bright and "create an amazing experience."

      Going even further, Cook called OLED displays' color saturation "awful" and stated "If you ever buy anything online and really want to know what he color is, as many people do, you should really think twice before you depend on the color from an OLED display."

      About that new hire...
      Curiously enough, that's also what makes a recent report from the OLED Association so interesting. While Cook's comments unsurprisingly oppose competitors' claims of OLED superiority, they also seem to contradict his own company's recent hiring decisions.

      According to the report, Apple may have just hired Dr. Jeung-jil (James) Lee, a former research fellow from LG and "a senior person in LG Display's R&D effort to create a printed AMOLED TV." In addition, the organization noted that, prior to joining LG, "Dr. Lee was responsible for development at Cambridge Display Technology (CDT, now Sumitomo), the leading developer of solution-based polymer based OLED material."

      Of course, while the rumor mill has stirred up plenty of speculation regarding Apple's OLED development over the past few years, the notoriously secretive tech giant has yet to provide any concrete information confirming its interest. As competitors like Samsung and LG use OLED to differentiate their own products, however, Apple has faced scathing criticism for its failure to embrace the technology in its own devices.

      Even so, that hasn't stopped hawk-eyed industry watchers from regularly managing to dig up OLED-related patent applications from Cupertino. Fellow Fool contributor Evan Niu even wrote nearly a year ago that he fully expects Apple to incorporate OLED tech into its displays, albeit nowhere in the near future. After all, given Apple's unabated love for pleasing aesthetic design, it's a safe bet the company would love to take advantage of the seemingly endless possibilities offered by OLED displays, which can be made flexible, transparent, and nearly unbreakable. If Apple could offer those kinds of groundbreaking features in its devices going forward, something tells me color saturation would amount to a mere afterthought.

      If this recent hire is confirmed, then, an Apple-OLED union could arrive a whole lot sooner than we expect. Given Apple's unparalleled ability to sell huge numbers of its popular products, if and when that day comes, it would help usher in a new era of widely adopted futuristic displays.

      What now?
      So what's the best way to play the trend?

      On one hand, you could buy shares of Apple as they currently trade more than 30% off their 52-week highs. Though the debate continues to rage over whether the stock has further to fall, introducing a series of revolutionary products with bendy, see-through, indestructible screens could be just what the doctor ordered to re-energize its shares. In addition, even if Apple's OLED adoption isn't yet on the horizon, the fact remains it consistently generates boatloads of cash and looks undeniably cheap at less than 11 times trailing earnings. After everything is said and done, you could also get paid for your patience as you wait for Apple's shares to rebound by collecting its 2.3% dividend.

      On the other hand, if you're searching for a derivative play, look no further than Universal Display, whose OLED patents practically ensure it will profit no matter who uses the technology. Even if Apple doesn't join the OLED race anytime soon, Universal Display investors are eagerly anticipating a new wave of profits from the coming introduction of large-screen OLED televisions from Samsung, LG, Sony, and Panasonic. Given the increasingly likely event that Apple does jump on board, however, Universal Display will be first in line to benefit.

      Universal Display's placement at the center of OLEDs makes the company an underappreciated way to play the enormous sales growth in tablets and smartphones. However, like any new technology, there are plenty of risks to Universal Display.

      Der Analyst von Piper Jaffray spekuliert das „Nippon Steel Chemical“ ebenfalls OLED für das neue Samsung Phone liefert.

      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL) shares declined 12.85% to $28.56 after analysts at Piper Jaffray said the company is losing its stronghold with Samsung. Analyst Jagadish Iyer said Samsung is using Universal Display and another vendor for its Galaxy S4 smartphone – said to be Nippon Steel Chemical.

      Additionally, Wedbush yesterday restated its Neutral rating on PANL and raised its price target from $20.00 to $28.00.

      Jo Fruehrentner, nichts für ungut.. aber Hauptsache mal nen Link posten der von JG11 gestern schon zu lesen war. Ich denke mal die investieren googlen sich den Kram sowieso selbst.

      Ich für meinen Teil bin froh das ich in den letzten Tagen einfach nochmal nachgekauft habe und nicht meine Eier verloren habe nachdem ich kurz vor dem Bump rein bin :). Da wollten wohl noch ein paar andere billig einkaufen und danke der Lemminge die dem Analyst von Piper gefolgt sind, hat das auch funktioniert.

      Was ich bisher lesen konnte sind die Aussichten wie von den Analysten erwartet, aber die meisten halten sich ja mit Ihren Kurszielen auch noch ziemlich zurück. Nächste interessante Termin dürfte dann erstmal die Vorstellung des neue Samsung Phones im März sein. Der Hammer wäre ja wenn in der nächsten Zeit auch mal etwas posit ives von Apple bzg. OLED kommen würde. So ganz desinteressiert können sie ja nicht sein nachdem sie sich extra den Spezialisten James (Jueng-Gil) Lee an Board geholt haben.

      Has Universal Display Become the Perfect Stock?
      By Dan Caplinger
      March 9, 2013

      Every investor would love to stumble upon the perfect stock. But will you ever really find a stock that provides everything you could possibly want?

      One thing's for sure: You'll never discover truly great investments unless you actively look for them. Let's discuss the ideal qualities of a perfect stock and then decide whether Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) fits the bill.

      The quest for perfection
      Stocks that look great based on one factor may prove horrible elsewhere, making due diligence a crucial part of your investing research. The best stocks excel in many different areas, including these important factors:

      Growth. Expanding businesses show healthy revenue growth. While past growth is no guarantee that revenue will keep rising, it's certainly a better sign than a stagnant top line.
      Margins. Higher sales mean nothing if a company can't produce profits from them. Strong margins ensure that company can turn revenue into profit.
      Balance sheet. At debt-laden companies, banks and bondholders compete with shareholders for management's attention. Companies with strong balance sheets don't have to worry about the distraction of debt.
      Moneymaking opportunities. Return on equity helps measure how well a company is finding opportunities to turn its resources into profitable business endeavors.
      Valuation. You can't afford to pay too much for even the best companies. By using normalized figures, you can see how a stock's simple earnings multiple fits into a longer-term context.
      Dividends. For tangible proof of profits, a check to shareholders every three months can't be beat. Companies with solid dividends and strong commitments to increasing payouts treat shareholders well.
      With those factors in mind, let's take a closer look at Universal Display.

      Factor What We Want to See Actual Pass or Fail?
      Growth 5-year annual revenue growth > 15% 49.1% Pass
      1-year revenue growth > 12% 35.8% Pass
      Margins Gross margin > 35% 39.9% Pass
      Net margin > 15% 11.6% Fail
      Balance sheet Debt to equity < 50% 0% Pass
      Current ratio > 1.3 12.00 Pass
      Opportunities Return on equity > 15% 2.8% Fail
      Valuation Normalized P/E < 20 168.62 Fail
      Dividends Current yield > 2% 0% Fail
      5-year dividend growth > 10% 0% Fail

      Total score 5 out of 10
      Source: S&P Capital IQ. Total score = number of passes.


      Source: S&P Capital IQ. Total score = number of passes.

      Since we looked at Universal Display last year, the company held on to the point it gained from 2011 to 2012. But the stock has struggled lately, falling more than 15% over the past year.

      Universal Display's innovative organic LED technology has the promise to transform the way people watch television. Already, the company has gotten its products into a wide variety of smartphones and tablets from Samsung and other major players. But the big market will come from large-screen OLED televisions, and AU Optronics (NYSE: AUO ) and LG Display (NYSE: LPL ) have all joined Samsung in licensing Universal Display's technology for TVs. Given that a single large-screen TV has 100 times the display area of a small smartphone, OLED TV is the mother lode that Universal Display hopes to dig into.

      Unfortunately, the industry has moved slowly toward OLED TVs. LG has finally started making shipments of the displays, and Samsung introduced a curved OLED TV at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, but it'll still be a while before the companies get to full-scale production levels.

      In its most recent quarterly results, Universal Display managed to beat sales expectations, although its earnings came in slightly lower than expected. The company's guidance was also positive, sending shares higher, but with Universal Display so reliant on its major customers, it's extremely difficult to count on the company's calls on sales when a production delay or other strategic decision beyond Universal Display's control can have such a huge impact.

      For Universal Display to improve, it needs to take advantage of its technological advantages to try to boost margins and get more profit from its sales. Widespread adoption of OLED TVs will help, but only by emphasizing quality will Universal Display avoid falling into the trap of selling what could become a commodity material in the years to come.

      Samsung Galaxy S IV mit PHOLED-Display-Technik?

      Montag, 11. März 2013 um 17:03 von

      Heute Vormittag tauchten weitere vermeintliche Bilder des Samsung Galaxy S IV auf, die das finale Design zeigen sollen. Nun wurde auch noch bekannt, dass Samsung vermutlich auf eine neue OLED-Display-Technologie zurückgreifen könnte. Bislang setzt das südkoreanische Unternehmen auf ein Herstellungsverfahren des US-amerikanischen Chemiekonzern DuPont. Diese zeichnet sich durch ihre technische Einfachheit und damit kostengünstige Produktionsweise aus. Allerdings hatte Samsung in der Vergangenheit dennoch mit Fertigungsschwierigkeiten zu kämpfen. Die technische Limitierung der bisherigen Technik soll aber nun der Grund sein, warum beim Galaxy S IV eine neue Technologie verwendet wird.
      Die neue Technik namens PHOLED wurde von Universal Display Corporation entwickelt und soll dort für Samsung lizensiert worden sein. PHOLEDs (Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) sind ebenfalls OLEDs, nutzen allerdings die Phosphoreszenz, um effizienter zu arbeiten. Die Phosphoreszenz ermöglicht ein Nachleuten, ohne das des LEDs zusätzlich Energie zugeführt werden muss. Dieses Nachleuchten kann einige Sekunden andauern, aber auch bis zu mehreren Stunden nachwirken. So soll der Stromverbrauch um bis zu 25 Prozent gesenkt werden können.
      Beim Samsung Galaxy S IV kommt vermutlich ein Display mit einer Diagonalen von 4,99 Zoll bei einer Auflösung von 1920 x 1080 Pixel zum Einsatz. Dies führt zu einer Pixeldichte von 441 ppi, die mit dem "klassischen" OLED-Verfahren nicht mehr realisiert werden können. Das neue "green PHOLED"-Display soll zwei Probleme beseitigen: Zum einen den hohen Stromverbrauch eines solch großen Displays reduzieren und zum zweiten eine solche Auflösung überhaupt erst möglich machen. Offenbar möchte Samsung beim Galaxy S IV auch eine RGB-Matrix zur Anordnung der LEDs einsetzen, was eine zusätzliche Herausforderung sein dürfte. Aus diesem Grund wechselte Samsung bei den Vorgängern auf eine wabenförmige Anordnung, was bei relativ niedrigen Auflösungen viele Nutzer als störend ansahen. Mit eine Pixel-Positionierung in Hexagon- oder Diamant-Form könnte Samsung dem entgegenwirken und kann die Pixeldichte weiter anheben.
      Doch dies ist alles noch Zukunftsmusik. Zunächst einmal müssen wir den 14. März abwarten, denn dann wird Samsung das Galaxy S IV in New York offiziell vorstellen.

      Samsung Galaxy SIV:
      Alle Fakten zum neuen iPhone-Rivalen [Videos]
      Verfasst von Philipp // 15. März 2013 um 07:10 Uhr // Sonstiges, Videos // Galaxy, Konkurrenz, Produktlaunch, Samsung Galaxy SIV // 5 Kommentare
      Um Mitternacht hielt Samsung die Android-Welt in Atem. Der Technik-Gigant hat im Rahmen des Unpacked Events das neuste Flaggschiff vorgestellt, welches Apples iPhone konkurrieren soll. Wie immer setzen die Südkoreaner dabei auf eine Kombination aus neuster Hardware und Software-Features, die in Android nicht integriert sind.

      Zu Beginn erstmal die Eckdaten vom Galaxy SIV:
      • Betriebssystem: Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
      • 4,99 Zoll FullHD (1920 mal 1080 Pixel) Super AMOLED Display (441 ppi)
      • 1.9 GHz Vier-Kern Prozessor oder 1.6 GHz Acht-Kern Prozessor
      • 2 GB Arbeitsspeicher
      • 16/32/64 GB Versionen
      • 13-Megapixel-Rückseiten-, 2-Megapixel-Frontkamera
      • Plastik-Gehäuse
      Ansonsten verbessert Samsung die Gesten und Augen-Steuerung für das Gerät. So braucht man nur mit dem Finger in die Nähe des Displays zu kommen, um eine Vorschau zu sehen. Das Produkt besitzt außerdem eine Funktion namens Dual Shot, mit der man vorne und hinten gleichzeitig ein Foto macht. Systemweit integriert ist überdies S Translator, der Nachrichten und Inhalte von Apps übersetzt, aber angeblich noch deutlich ausbaufähig ist. Mit S Help lassen sich Aktivitäten überwachen, mit S Band Körperwerte. Smart Stay hält das Gerät hell solange man draufschaut, Smart Pause stoppt ein Video, wenn man wegschaut.
      Ab Ende April wird das Galaxy verfügbar sein. Der Preis ist noch unklar, man vermutet um 649 Euro.

      News from Seekingalpha

      9:12 AM Universal Display (PANL) +5.2% after Goldman sings the company's praises in the wake of Samsung's Galaxy S IV launch. The firm thinks PANL's revenue opportunity with the S IV, which (as expected) sports a 5" 1080p OLED display using green host emitter materials, could be 3x-4x greater than its opportunity with the S III. It might also help that initial S IV reviews generally praise the phone's display, though not everything else about it.

      Here's Why Shares of Universal Display Rose Today
      By Steve Symington
      March 15, 2013

      Even as the wider market pulled back, shares of OLED specialist Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) rose more than 7% during Friday's trading, though they gave up some of those gains as the day went on.

      So why the optimism?
      As fellow Fool Eric Bleeker noted on Wednesday, Samsung was all set to release its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, yesterday evening. Given Samsung's incorporation of OLED tech in its past Galaxy phones -- and considering the fact the Korean conglomerate is currently responsible for the vast majority of Universal Display's total sales -- anxious investors have remained on the edges of their seats to confirm to what extent (if at all) the Galaxy S4 would utilize Universal's OLED materials in its screens.

      The Galaxy S4 will go on sale next month and boasts a massive 5-inch AMOLED screen -- up from 4.8 inches in the Galaxy S III -- with an impressive pixel density at 441 pixels per inch. As a basis for comparison, note Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPhone 5 has a pixel density of just 326 pixels per inch.

      Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean Apple fans will be swayed, especially when we remember CEO Tim Cook's recent assertion that OLED screens' color saturation is "awful," while at the same time noting Apple's own retina displays are nearly twice as bright. Even so, those comments seemed especially interesting after I noticed that, just a few days earlier, Apple may have quietly hired an OLED expert away from Korean electronics giant LG Display (NYSE: LPL ) , fueling further speculation of Cupertino's interest in the versatile technology.

      In addition, just this morning analyst Brian Lee of Goldman Sachs added fuel to the fire by suggesting that, based on his channel checks, Universal Display remains "well positioned to benefit from [Samsung's] upcoming Galaxy S4 ramp given its leverage to both red and green phosphorescent (e.g. emitter and host) materials" in the design of its display.

      What's more, Lee estimated Universal Display could end up collecting between three and four times as much revenue from each Galaxy S4 device as it did from every S III smartphone, "given its expansion in materials supplied from one to three types."

      Of course, Lee's perspective should come as little surprise considering the fact he has long remained a proponent for Universal Display's business and currently holds a $41 price target for its shares.

      The bear case
      On the other end of the analyst spectrum, let's not forget Piper Jaffray analyst Jagadish Iyer who, just a few weeks ago, lowered his firm's price target for shares of Universal Display from $18 to $16 after voicing concern that Samsung may also be using green host materials from Japanese OLED supplier Nippon Steel.

      While Iyer's comments helped shares of Universal Display fall by as much as 13% that day, his concerns appeared to be considerably overblown after the company skyrocketed 16% just a few days later following its solid fourth-quarter earnings results.

      Now tell me how you really feel
      While Samsung currently remains Universal Display's largest source of revenue, it's easy to forget things are about to get much more interesting in the OLED space as other companies finally begin to embrace the advantages of using its tech.

      For instance, as I wrote a few weeks ago, both Samsung and LG are all set to begin mass production of their cutting-edge 55-inch OLED televisions, and Japanese competitors Sony and Panasonic teamed up last year to create their own 56-inch models, which were unveiled at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas.

      Over the longer term, companies including LG and Philips have also made huge investments to further develop their own high-efficiency OLED lighting solutions -- the market for which, by some accounts, could grow from just a few million dollars today to over $2 billion by 2020.

      Foolish final thoughts
      With this in mind, I've long maintained my bullish position on shares of Universal Display and have no intention of closing my outperform CAPScall on the company anytime soon.

      In the end, when (not if) the aforementioned catalysts materialize, I'm convinced that, while today's pop feels great now, it will barely register as a blip in the radar down the road when compared to the mind-boggling gains Universal Display can afford patient investors with a longer-term mind-set.

      More expert advice from The Motley Fool
      Universal Display has a powerful patent portfolio behind OLEDs, a technology poised to dominate the displays of the future. Its placement at the center of OLEDs makes the company an underappreciated way to play the enormous sales growth in tablets and smartphones. However, like any new technology, there are plenty of risks to Universal Display.

      PANL: Cowen Pounds the Table on Galaxy S4 Pre-Orders


      By Tiernan Ray

      Cowen & Co.’s Robert Stone today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of organic LED technology vendor Universal Display (PANL), writing that an 11% retreat in the stock since Samsung Electronics (005930KS) unveiled its Galaxy S4 handset on March 14th is a good buying opportunity, given Universal should see strong sales of its technology in the S4.

      Samsung, which has been a customer of Universal’s, is seeing strong pre-orders of the S4, writes Stone:

      The Galaxy S 4 is expected to hit U.K. stores on April 26th and preorders began March 28th. Carphone Warehouse said pre-registrations were up 446% vs. the GS III. Phones 4U also said GS 4 had the most pre registrations of any phone launched in 2013 and 40% more than GS III in the first 48 hours. Galaxy S III sales have been about 40MM units; we believe GS 4 could do 50MM or more. Samsung #1 In 2012, 23% Share Of Small/Medium FPD Sales. According to DisplaySearch estimates, Samsung led in both units and sales of small/medium displays (9 inches and below). AMOLED revenue in this category nearly doubled, from $3.5B to $6.8B. The next three suppliers by revenue share were Japan Display 15%, Sharp 13%, and LG Display 12%. Samsung has successfully associated OLEDs with the high end of the market, allowing them to capture premium prices.

      PANL stock is down 31 cents, or 1%, today at $28.29.

      6:22 PM Samsung (SSNLF.PK) sold 68M-70M smartphones in Q1, up from an estimated 63M in Q4, according to 5 analysts polled by Reuters. Though the Galaxy S III/IV and Note II receive far more ink, much of this growth is fueled by low-end/mid-range Android models such as the Galaxy Young and Galaxy Fame. These phones, along with Samsung's Rex feature phone line, are adding to the pressure placed on Nokia's (NOK) feature phone ops. Earlier this week, Bernstein reported the S IV's production rate is around 10M units/month. :rolleyes::rolleyes:(Samsung Q1 results) Read comments

      2 Remaining Puzzle Pieces For Universal Display's Success
      Apr 10 2013, 07:43 | about: PANL
      Disclosure: I am long PANL. (More...)

      Universal Display Corp (PANL) is not a stock for those prone to motion sickness. After spending a decade of trading between $10 and $20 per share, it began to rise in 2010, eventually peaking at over $60. Single day price moves over 5% are not uncommon, and the stock sports a 1.3 beta, meaning it is 30% more volatile than the market as a whole. Furthermore, with $30 price tag and associated PE of ~150, PANL shares are clearly not being valued on the basis of the current business, but rather on future prospects. Nonetheless, even if we limit our assessment to the current revenue-producing aspects, the prospects look very enticing: DisplaySearch expects revenues for this market to exceed $11.3B in 2013, up from $6.9B last year, and further predicts that the market will reach $44B by 2019.

      This article will give a brief overview of UDC's display technology and then go on to discuss medium-term technological and business points, along with associated risk factors, that I believe are still missing in order for PANL to realize its full potential. A subsequent article will discuss key points to look for in the next earnings call, due in early May, in order to assess the ongoing business. Universal Display has other, longer-term development projects, such as general lighting, with enormous potential. This article will not discuss those, though a future one may.

      OLED Displays: a technology which has yet to see optimal use

      Universal Display develops organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies and materials. The company's revenue comes from the licensing of these patented technologies and the sale of associated OLED materials. With the acquisition of patents from Fujifilm last July, UDC owns or has exclusive rights to more than 3000 patents worldwide, and is far and away the purest stock play on OLED technology. The technology has two primary applications, displays and general lighting, with the former being more advanced in terms of commercialization. Consequently, UDC derives the virtually all of its current revenue from the small screens used in smart-phones, media players, tablets, etc.

      One reason OLED first gained traction in small, mobile (battery-operated) devices is because of its lower power consumption. Yet OLED is even better suited for televisions. since it is essentially plastic and can be more easily manufactured into large sheets than the crystals used in LCDs. To see a more important reason why OLED is better suited to TVs, take an OLED smart-phone out into the sunlight along with an LCD one. The OLED screen will seem to wash out more than its LCD competitor. The reason is that LCD makes a picture by filtering light emanating from behind the screen (it is "back-lit"). OLED emits light directly from the pixels, which is why it is more power efficient, particularly with dark images. Thus the OLED pixels have to compete with external light, whereas the filtering LCD pixels reflect or absorb it. Televisions are typically used indoors, so this issue goes away. Furthermore, OLED gives far more vibrant color, better contrast viewing angles, and faster switching (no blur even with fast moving images, as with a ball in sports). This article provides some nice detail on the differences in technology, and to quote from it:

      The 55-Inch OLEDs shown at the 2012 attracted attendees like moths to a light bulb on a summer night.

      If you look closely, however, you'll see that the article was written over a year ago, and predicts:

      In just a few months we expect the first large screen OLED HDTVs to be offered for sale in the US.

      In fact, OLED TVs were demoed at CES in 2010, which is part what caused the stock to take off then. With all of those advantages, why haven't OLED TVs taken over? The answer is our first puzzle piece...

      Technology Puzzle Piece: Blue emitters

      You might recall from science class that you can make any color by combining various amounts of red, green and blue light. The (O)LED materials that emit light gradually wear out as current is passed through them (the more current, the faster they wear out). The organic versions of these materials typically have better power-efficiency and thus longer lifetimes than their non-organic counterparts. For a mobile device to have its screen on 3 hours a day for 8 years requires 10,000 hours of material lifetime. The materials that emit red have lifetimes of 50,000 hours without noticeable degradation (95% of initial brightness), more than good enough. UDC's green material lifetimes have also improved to 18,000 hours, and have started to come into use over the last year. The latest OLED light blue emitter materials at UDC currently have equivalent lifetimes of 700 hours (and even less for the deep blue that would be most suitable for displays), which is obviously not usable. Consequently, current OLED displays use traditional fluorescent systems for their blue light, which have a fraction of the lifetimes mentioned for red and green.

      While noticeable color degradation and/or the need to replace after a few years might be acceptable to most consumers with a several hundred dollar smart-phone, that is unlikely to be the case for a high-end television costing ten times as much. TV replacement cycles have been shortening, but they should still be expected to last 7-10 years. Figuring for an 8 year lifespan at 6hours/day, we would need to see blue emitters with 20,000 hour lifetime. While UDC is certainly working on this problem, it's important to note that they do not necessarily need to be the developer of a commercially viable blue emitter in order to profit from the advance. A 55" television has roughly 100 times the display area of 5 inch phone screen; while producers' material efficiencies will no doubt continue to improve, it is still safe to assume that PANL's material sales will increase by an order of magnitude once OLED TVs are produced in volume. Last June, Dupont announced a blue emitter material with a lifetime of 33,000 hours to 50% of initial luminosity (not the 95% for the figures above). While Dupont claims this is good enough for TVs, it's probably borderline at best, and the latest OLED TV delay from LG seems to support that assessment. The technology is certainly getting close, though.

      Business Puzzle Piece: Customer Diversity

      If the blue-emitter problem can be solved, then I believe the other puzzle piece will fall into place on its own. Nonetheless, it would be hard to overstate the danger represented by this piece as things currently stand. I said above that UDC currently derives virtually all of its current revenue from small OLED screens. Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) dominates the production of these screens with 98% market share and accounts for the vast majority of UDC's revenues. While Universal Display also has agreements with a host of other companies, it's important to realize that these are development agreements made so that these companies can assess UDC technology and products in the hope that they will eventually utilize them in production of consumer products. Doing that would require a commercial agreement, like the one (and only) in place with SMD.

      I believe the market completely underestimates the importance of this piece of the equation. The implications go far beyond simple pricing power; they affect information flow, all aspects of negotiation, and even general decision-making. Years ago, I spoke directly with a member of Universal's executive management and it seemed very clear to me just how tied their hands are with SMD. At the time, a 3 year development contract between the two had just expired, yet UDC confirmed that Samsung was continuing PHOLED development as usual. This situation dragged on for months before they eventually announced a series of extensions to that agreement, and then finally the current commercial one, which is heavily redacted and full of loopholes for SMD. If nothing else, multiple commercial customers would give investors additional data for comparison and analysis.

      The bigger picture, though, is that UDC gaining multiple commercial agreements has the potential to completely transform future OLED development. Paula Doe from SEMI Emerging Markets says:

      Anxious to avoid another experience like the commoditization of the LCD sector, display makers intend to keep their processes and complex OLEDs materials stacks to themselves this time, which makes process integration of different materials and equipment difficult.

      Yet some integration is almost certainly necessary for OLEDs to advance at all. The Korean government seems to recognize this already, and UDC, as the leading developer in the field, and one of the only ones not in competition with the other end-marketers of displays, could eventually take a role in further integration.

      Risk Factors

      Predicting technological advance is always difficult and therefore risky. While Universal Display need not provide the entire OLED solution in order to succeed, there is always the possibility of a competing technology decreasing the relative value of what OLED can do. As an example, LCD displays (including the latest so-called LED TVs, which are really LED-backlit LCDs) have been tweaked to provide increasing levels of efficiency and image quality, which has in turn, slowed OLED adoption. Ironically, this particular development has also spurred OLED producers to push forward in using UDC's green emitters in order to improve power consumption and remain competitive. Even so, while OLED seems intrinsically better than LCD for displays, not all OLED technologies and processes are compatible, and UDC could be sidelined even as OLED becomes successful. An example would be Polymer-OLED (P-OLED), an alternative to the small-molecule phosphorescent (PHOLED) approach favored by UDC, which might just rise from the dead.

      Assessing all of these risks tends to be made a little more difficult by UDC management, which is not always as conservative as it could be. This may be largely due to the missing Business Puzzle Piece described above. An example would be their projections on the use of their green emitters, which caused earnings disappointment. UDC makes such projections based on the information they get from their customer, and clearly, that situation represented a tangible risk to PANL investors. Similarly, while UDC seems to be out of the woods for the time being on patent challenges, intellectual property is always a concern for any emerging technology, and one has to wonder how well the company would publicly assess the risk for its investors.

      Finally, I must emphasize again the danger of relying on a single customer for revenue. If you need this illustrated graphically, look at a 5 year chart of American Superconductor (AMSC) and see what happened when things went bad with their primary customer, Sinovel, in 2011. Korea is not China when it comes to intellectual property, but doing business with the chaebol is not a warm and chummy prospect. In short, Samsung should be regarded as more of a "frenemy" than a partner.

      Summary

      PANL is a stock with great potential, but execution risks to their current primary business remain. The best way to be ahead of the curve on these is to understand PHOLED technology, but this is a highly complicated and uncertain endeavor. The surest indicator of success will be further commercial contracts with OLED producers. Look for LG as the leading candidate for a second such contract, and follow me for the next article on what to look for in the next earnings report in early May.

      Universal Display Corporation (PANL): Hedge Funds Are Bearish and Insiders Are Bullish, What Should You Do?
      By ALEXANDR OLEINIC in News
      Published: April 12, 2013 at 12:39 pm

      Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL) was in 13 hedge funds' portfolio at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. PANL has experienced a decrease in activity from the world's largest hedge funds of late. There were 17 hedge funds in our database with PANL holdings at the end of the previous quarter. This is important, because just today Oppenheimer announced about raising the rank of Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL).

      According to most stock holders, hedge funds are perceived as unimportant, old financial vehicles of years past. While there are greater than 8000 funds trading at present, we at Insider Monkey look at the top tier of this club, around 450 funds. It is estimated that this group oversees the lion's share of the smart money's total capital, and by watching their highest performing stock picks, we have unsheathed a number of investment strategies that have historically outperformed the market. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy outpaced the S&P 500 index by 18 percentage points annually for a decade in our back tests, and since we've started sharing our picks with our subscribers at the end of August 2012, we have beaten the S&P 500 index by 24 percentage points in 7 months (check out a sample of our picks).

      Just as important, bullish insider trading activity is a second way to parse down the world of equities. As the old adage goes: there are lots of reasons for an upper level exec to sell shares of his or her company, but only one, very clear reason why they would initiate a purchase. Plenty of empirical studies have demonstrated the valuable potential of this tactic if piggybackers understand what to do (learn more here).

      Consequently, it's important to take a gander at the key action encompassing Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL).


      What have hedge funds been doing with Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL)?

      At year's end, a total of 13 of the hedge funds we track were long in this stock, a change of -24% from the previous quarter. With hedgies' sentiment swirling, there exists a select group of key hedge fund managers who were boosting their stakes substantially.

      According to our comprehensive database, Discovery Capital Management, managed by Rob Citrone, holds the most valuable position in Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL). Discovery Capital Management has a $160.3 million position in the stock, comprising 2.3% of its 13F portfolio. Coming in second is GLG Partners, managed by Noam Gottesman, which held a $10.3 million position; the fund has 0.5% of its 13F portfolio invested in the stock. Other hedgies with similar optimism include Scott Burney's Bluefin Investment Management, Eric Bannasch's Cadian Capital and John A. Levin's Levin Capital Strategies.

      Because Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL) has experienced falling interest from the entirety of the hedge funds we track, it's safe to say that there exists a select few money managers who were dropping their full holdings last quarter. Interestingly, John Hurley's Cavalry Asset Management dumped the biggest stake of all the hedgies we watch, comprising close to $24.9 million in stock., and Donald Chiboucis of Columbus Circle Investors was right behind this move, as the fund cut about $15.4 million worth. These bearish behaviors are important to note, as total hedge fund interest fell by 4 funds last quarter.


      What have insiders been doing with Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL)?

      Insider trading activity, especially when it's bullish, is particularly usable when the primary stock in question has experienced transactions within the past six months. Over the latest half-year time period, Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL) has experienced 1 unique insiders buying, and 1 insider sales (see the details of insider trades here).

      Let's also review hedge fund and insider activity in other stocks similar to Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL). These stocks are Stratasys, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SSYS), Nice Systems Ltd (ADR) (NASDAQ:NICE), Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (NASDAQ:EFII), Logitech International SA (USA) (NASDAQ:LOGI), and Synaptics, Incorporated (NASDAQ:SYNA). All of these stocks are in the computer peripherals industry and their market caps match PANL's market cap.

      Universal Display Upgraded to “Outperform” at Oppenheimer (PANL)
      Posted by Stuart Ham on Apr 12th, 2013 // No Comments

      Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL) was upgraded by analysts at Oppenheimer from a “market perform” rating to an “outperform” rating in a research report issued to clients and investors on Friday, Stock Ratings Network reports. The firm currently has a $37.00 price target on the stock.

      The analysts wrote, “Near term, we believe strong smartphone shipments will help small OLED display area grow at a CAGR of 42% from 2012 to 2015. Longer term, adoption of OLED TV should help total shipment area grow at a CAGR of 70% in the same period. We note our OLED TV assumption is lower than DisplaySearch’s forecast. Despite our lower TV growth trajectory, we believe leverage in the operating model and the lack of real competition in POLED material will help PANL achieve substantial earnings growth through 2015.”

      A number of other analysts have also recently weighed in on PANL. Analysts at Needham & Company upgraded shares of Universal Display from a “hold” rating to a “buy” rating in a research note to investors on Thursday, April 4th. They now have a $35.00 price target on the stock. They noted that the move was a valuation call. Separately, analysts at Deutsche Bank raised their price target on shares of Universal Display from $32.00 to $35.00 in a research note to investors on Thursday, February 28th. They now have a “buy” rating on the stock. Finally, analysts at Deutsche Bank reiterated a “buy” rating on shares of Universal Display in a research note to investors on Thursday, February 28th. They now have a $35.00 price target on the stock, up previously from $32.00.

      One investment analyst has rated the stock with a sell rating, five have issued a hold rating and six have given a buy rating to the company’s stock. The stock presently has a consensus rating of “Hold” and a consensus price target of $29.89.

      Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL) opened at 31.21 on Friday. Universal Display has a 1-year low of $21.55 and a 1-year high of $45.70. The stock’s 50-day moving average is currently $31.00. The company has a market cap of $1.442 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 148.62.

      Samsung-Tochter an Lichttechnik-Firma Novaled interessiert
      Dienstag, 2. April 2013, 07:54 Uhr

      Seoul (Reuters) - Die Samsung-Tochter Cheil Industries zieht die Übernahme des sächsischen Lichttechnik-Spezialisten Novaled in Erwägung.

      Dies teilte das in der Textil- und Chemiebranche tätige Unternehmen am Dienstag mit. Einem koreanischen Medienbericht zufolge könnte Cheil umgerechnet 206 Millionen Euro für das in Dresden ansässige Unternehmen auf den Tisch legen. Vor Cheil hatte bereits der südkoreanische Mischkonzern Doosan sein Interesse an Novaled bekundet. Mit Samsung sind die Deutschen bereits verbandelt. Die zu Samsung gehörende Beteiligungsgesellschaft Venture Investment ist einer der größten Finanziers der 2001 von der Technischen Universität Dresden und dem Fraunhofer-Institut gegründeten Firma.

      Novaled entwickelt Verfahren und Materialien zur Herstellung von organischen Leuchtdioden (OLED). Solche Leuchtmittel auf Kohlenstoff-Basis gelten als Zukunft der Beleuchtungs- und Displaytechnik, weil sie in ultradünnen Schichten aufgetragen werden können und wenig Strom schlucken. Novaled ist spezialisiert auf OLED-Strukturen mit besonders langer Lebensdauer.

      Das Unternehmen erwirtschaftete 2011 Umsätze von 17,4 Millionen Euro und einen Gewinn von 3,6 Millionen Euro. Erst im vergangenen Jahr hatte Novaled die Weichen für einen Börsengang in den USA gestellt. Damals wurde mit einem Emissionserlös von bis zu umgerechnet rund 150 Millionen Euro gerechnet.

      2 Stocks to Buy for the Next 5 Years
      By Steve Symington
      April 15, 2013 | Comments (0)

      Here at the Fool, it's no secret we encourage investors to look for stocks to buy for the long term.

      In fact, that's why we recommend investors avoid putting any money they'll need in the next five years in the stock market. That's also why I've placed much of my attention on finding stocks to buy and hold anywhere from 10 to even 50 years from now.

      Of course, I know a lot can happen in 10 years, and 50 years probably seems more like an eternity for most folks. So what about finding stocks to buy with the intention of hanging on at least until that five-year threshold?

      Rest assured, I've got you covered. Below are two such stocks I believe possess massive upside potential for the next half-decade.

      Your secret sauce for profitable growth
      First up, consider spicing up your portfolio with shares of Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ: BWLD ) . Though B-Wild is currently trading near its 52-week-high on the heels of another successful March Madness ad campaign, there are a number of reasons to believe that the beer and wings specialist should be able to continue its winning streak for the foreseeable future.


      Source: Buffalo Wild Wings.

      For one, as I noted after its most recent "disappointing" fourth-quarter results, the company's 37.8% year-over-year revenue growth shows its customers are still willing to pay for its wares even despite select price increases aimed to offset the company's higher wing costs.

      What's more, B-Wild generates plenty of cash flow from operations and had around $31 million in cash with no debt on its balance sheet at the end of last quarter. As a result, the company should have little trouble financing its plans to open at least 105 new locations by the end of 2013. When all's said and done, Buffallo Wild Wings eventually expects to increase its restaurant count from 900 today to around 1,700 in the U.S., making it a great stock to buy now for investors who are looking for plenty of profitable growth going forward.

      Long-term gains on display
      Next, feast your eyes at organic LED technologist Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) , which boasts a treasure trove of more than 2,200 OLED-related patents. For their part, these patents all but ensure Universal Display can profit no matter who uses its OLED technology in their products.

      So far, consumers have gobbled up millions of Samsung's Galaxy smartphones with vibrant OLED screens enabled by Universal Display's tech. What's more, Samsung also recently branded its YOUM line of flexible OLED displays, and demonstrated a number of prototype devices at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, including new flexible smartphones and a curved 55" OLED TV.

      Of course, it remains to be seen whether consumers will care about having an expensive, slightly curved television in their living rooms for now, and Samsung has only just begun ramping up the production of its traditional 55" OLED televisions.

      Even so, this curved OLED TV shows Samsung has its mind on bigger and better things, and it's a safe bet the technology will only grow more compelling as economies of scale kick in and given the opportunity OLED affords electronics makers to build screens that are not only flexible but also transparent and nearly indestructible.

      As I pointed out in February, while Samsung accounted for 68% of UDC's total sales last year, investors can soon expect Universal Display's reliance on the Korean conglomerate to decrease over time as other large customers including LG, Sony and Panasonic have finally started aggressively developing their own OLED-based products on a wider scale.

      As of right now, however, shares of Universal Display admittedly look expensive, trading hands at more than 150 times trailing earnings. That said, considering the fact it currently trades for less than 21 times forward earnings based on analysts' five-year growth estimates, it becomes easy to see why Universal Display remains one of my favorite stocks to buy.

      Its placement at the center of OLEDs makes the company an underappreciated way to play the enormous sales growth in tablets and smartphones. However, like any new technology, there are plenty of risks to Universal Display.

      Is Encapsulation Universal Display's Next Big Thing?
      By Steve Symington | More Articles | Save For Later
      April 18, 2013 | Comments (0)

      Just a few days ago, I singled out OLED technologist Universal Display (NASDAQ: PANL ) as one of two stocks to buy for its massive upside over the next five years.

      As I noted then, while the stock currently trades for more than 140 times trailing earnings, it's forward price-to-earnings ratio of 20.3 reflects analysts' unrivaled optimism for its future prospects. Of course, you can't blame them for that optimism, given Universal's near monopoly as both a supplier of OLED materials, and the patent owner behind the key intellectual property driving phosphorescent OLED displays.

      As a result, Universal Display stands to benefit from every device with an OLED screen, including devices like Nokia's Lumia smartphones, millions of Samsung Galaxy series phones and tablets, and soon-to-be-launched large screen OLED TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, and Panasonic. If that weren't enough, companies including LG, Philips, Konica Minolta, and GE are also pushing hard to develop high-efficiency solid state OLED lighting solutions, which are not only cool to the touch, but also offer steady, even light, and an incredible range of options for design.

      But wait, there's more!
      Smartphones, tablets, TVs, lighting ... those are some huge industry fish to fry for a relatively small company like Universal Display with its $1.4 billion market cap!

      One of the most exciting capabilities OLED technology enables across all four of those markets, however, is flexibility. Heck, Nokia demonstrated an OLED phone way back in 2011, which users could quite literally control by flexing the device. Samsung, though, is leading the way as of now with its efforts for commercialization on a wide scale of its YOUM flexible displays announced last year.

      However, while the actual OLED portion of these flexible screens is durable enough to withstand multiple hits from a hammer, electronics manufacturers still need an effective way to protect the sensitive materials from environmental elements like moisture and oxygen -- and that's where the encapsulation layer comes in.

      Sealing the deal
      According to a recent report from Korea-based Etnews, however, Samsung has recently run into technical hurdles mass producing its current encapsulation technology created by privately held Vitex Systems. Apparently, and unfortunately for Samsung, this existing encapsulation tech simply adds too much time to the manufacturing process.

      Fortunately for Universal Display investors (and as I noted after UDC's solid fourth-quarter earnings report), the OLED company has its sights set on encapsulation, too.

      In fact, UDC has boasted of its novel single layer encapsulation efforts as far back as 2011, and CEO Steve Abramson reminded us during the most recent earnings conference call in February that they are "discussing potential commercialization roadmaps with a number of partners, and are in the process of developing [their] encapsulation technology business model."

      Abramson also went on to note encapsulation "is a similarly critical success factor in the lighting industry, where [Universal Display] is already selling a full phosphorescent material system for warm white light."

      That's why, given Universal Display's long-standing relationship with Samsung, I can't help but wonder whether that particular comment was simply a preview of this week's news.

      Foolish final thoughts
      One of the biggest long-standing concerns for Universal Display investors remains its current over-reliance on Samsung, which accounted for more than two-thirds of UDC's revenue last year. If Universal Display's encapsulation technology has what it takes to fulfill manufacturer's mass production needs for flexible screens and lighting, it could go a long way toward negating that risk by diversifying the company's revenue streams that much more.

      Valuing Universal Display Corp. Earnings

      Apr 22 2013, 16:57 | 7 comments | about: PANL
      Disclosure: I am long PANL. (More...)

      Universal Display Corporation (PANL) is scheduled to announce earnings after market close on May 9. Analyst predictions for first quarter net EPS range from -0.16 to -0.04 cents (average: -0.09), but I think that PANL's subsequent movement should not depend primarily on the financial figures reported. As I detailed in the first article of this series, PANL is a difficult stock to value due to a combination of huge opportunities and questions about the current business model. On one end you have Brian Lee of Goldman Sachs, with a $41 price target. On the other, Jagadish Iyer from Piper Jaffray, who says shares are worth $16 each. This article will focus on shorter-term stepping stones (or stumbling blocks) to look for in order to assess which of the above viewpoints is turning out to be closer to reality for UDC.

      The Future May Hold Blue Skies, but the Present is Jungle Green

      I've already written about how the real opportunity for PHOLEDs, and thus UDC, is in televisions and how blue emitters are the main technological hurdle in the path to their commercialization. The thing is, TVs are just larger (and thus MUCH more profitable) versions of the screens used on mobile devices from Universal's standpoint as a materials supplier. So, we can look at materials usage in current OLED devices to infer what future income might look like for PANL. Their red materials have been in use with Samsung all along. Right now all the questions center on the green materials which are just coming into use.

      There are two types of OLED materials being sold. "Emitter" material produces light when electrical current is applied, but it only makes up about 5% of that layer of the screen. "Host" material helps conduct electricity and makes up the rest. While the host material is obviously a higher volume business, it is much lower margin. In fact, Universal didn't even think host materials would be a worthwhile business until they started selling green emitters in 2011 and Samsung found that they could only get acceptable performance with the green host materials UDC was supplying. Host materials accounted for more than 10% of PANL revenue that year. Nonetheless, host materials are easier to make and less protected from an intellectual property standpoint. UDC started breaking down revenue into "material" sales and "royalty" or "licensing" in the last quarter of 2011, after the Samsung deal. When there is significant host material sales, they usually break that out as well. It is important to differentiate between the two, since it would be reasonable to expect host margins to decline or customers to switch suppliers entirely.

      The emitters are the more important part. We can be pretty certain that green emitter (and host) material is going into the new Galaxy S IV and probably other high-end screens that Samsung produces. It has been assumed that all of the emitter material comes from UDC, while the green host comes from UDC and another supplier (probably Nippon Steel) but, to my knowledge, this is not actually confirmed. There are other green emitters out there and the rate of adoption for UDC's green is probably the most important thing to look for in the upcoming earnings call. This will most likely be expressed in the relative revenues for each color. I'm arguing that a high percentage (70-80%?) of green to red emitter sales should be far more important to PANL bulls than total revenue or net earnings.

      Green adoption will be equally important with other display producers as well, as they ramp up production. LG has begun selling OLED televisions that use a WRGB (white, red, green, and blue pixels with a blue color filter so that the white balances out the weakness in the blue emitter) PHOLED setup. This configuration is also referred to as WOLED-CF. LG has only sold 200 such sets in Korea so far, but they predict availability in the UK in July, and for the US in the latter half of the year. Even if LG were using all UDC material, the LG production so far probably wouldn't show up enough in PANL earnings to infer anything useful. Again, we'll have to look for clues in Q&A sessions, and be alert for any changes to the ramp up plans.

      Modeling PANL revenue

      $M 09Q1 09Q2 09Q3 09Q4 10Q1 10Q2 10Q3 10Q4 11Q1 11Q2 11Q3
      total revenue 2.8 3.0 5.1 4.9 4.2 8.4 7.1 10.8 9.6 11.3 21.8
      commercial 1.4 1.2 1.9 1.9 1.8 2.0 2.8 4.5 4.7 5.3 9.9
      development 1.5 1.7 2.0 a 3.0 2.4 4.4 b 4.2 6.3 4.9 5.9 11.9
      a- minus special payment for discontinuation of Kyocera OLED division
      b- minus special payment for expired tech agreement with customer

      $M 11Q4 12Q1 12Q2 12Q3 12Q4
      total revenue 18.7 12.6 30.0 12.5 28.1
      material 10.8 10.6 12.8 11.0 9.7 c
      licensing 5.4 15.0 15.0
      development 2.4
      c - only emitter sales are mentioned

      The two tables above show breakdowns of PANL revenue before and after the current Samsung agreement and the associated shift in reporting. The figures are in millions and gleaned from earnings call transcripts, as reported on Seeking Alpha. I use the material sales along with figures on Samsung OLED production to arrive at a very rough estimate of UDC's materials revenue per 4.x" AMOLED display produced. Not all materials are sold to Samsung, but they do have 98% of the OLED display market; I used 90% of material sales for my models. For periods prior to the 4th quarter of 2011, I simply guessed that material revenue associated with end-user products was half of "commercial" revenue. While the latter data is certainly more relevant, using older revenues allows me to exclude development material sales and go further back in matching production figure time frames. Brian Lee has suggested that UDC makes about 20 cents per display. As you can see from the table below, any way you slice it, it's easy to conclude that this figure is completely plausible and possibly conservative.

      Period 90% of Material Revenue / Displays = Revenue per Display
      thru 2012 > $70m 300m > $0.23
      June 2011 thru 2012 56.25 200m $0.28125
      last 7 months of 2012 ~$22.5m 100m $0.225

      With some minor exceptions, the displays produced contain only red materials. The revenue on the middle line is higher due to the sale of green materials, whose use was then delayed. UDC has confirmed that the pricing and quantities for green emitters are similar to those for the reds, so there is the opportunity to roughly double revenue with green usage, plus hosts as icing on top of that. I figure that Operating Expenses increase at 15% of materials sold, in accordance with the emitter margins that UDC has reported. Where TV material usage comes into play, I guess that licensing will be the same but pricing power will be 25% less due to vastly higher volumes and/or greater efficiency in production usage. Using those assumptions along with the baseline display unit revenue above, here are a range of scenarios and associated valuations for PANL over the next two years:

      Worst Case Scenario:

      Samsung fails on its intent to ship over 400 million smartphones this year, with production flattening at only 200 million OLED mobile displays. They purchase the minimum amount of green material contractually required. Furthermore, LG's attempted end-run around the blue emitter problem for televisions fails to gain traction as do any other OLED TV entries, so that Samsung's mobile production continues to be UDC's primary revenue source, mostly from red materials.

      Yearly Material Revenue (200m x .28) $56m
      + Licensing Revenue $40m
      - Operating Expense (85% emitter margin) $73.4m
      = Net Earnings $22.6m
      / 46.2m shares x 20 PE $9.78/share
      The PE multiple of 20 is chosen to reflect UDC's longer term prospects in general lighting, flexible displays, etc. I do not think this scenario is at all likely, but I also don't feel it's fair to include a best-case projection without an absolute worst-case alternative. For consistency and simplicity, all these scenarios ignore development and other non-primary revenue. That could have a substantial positive impact here, whereas it would be a minor factor in the others.

      Median Scenario:

      Samsung stays on track with the ramp up of mobile display production, making 200m this year and 400m next, all fully using UDC green emitters. OLED TV televisions, however, suffer yet another delay to mass market. Thus, Samsung remains the primary revenue source.

      Yearly Material Revenue (300m x .40) $120m
      + Licensing Revenue $40m
      - Operating Expense (85% emitter margin) $83m
      = Net Earnings $77m
      / 46.2m shares x 25 PE $41.67/share
      This scenario highlights how important the acceptance of UDC's green emitters is, since their use essentially doubles revenue per device. The validation of the material applies to future device classes as well, and thus warrants the higher PE multiple. I expect that this scenario probably best models the current situation, though we may very well see aspects from two of the scenarios presented here.

      Optimistic Scenario:

      LG's televisions use UDC reds and greens and ramp up as expected, selling "substantial numbers" in the next 2 years. In light of the dramatically increased emitter material volume (each 55" TV equals about ~100 mobile displays), LG signs a long-term agreement similar to the one Samsung has in place now. This pushes rival OLED TV producers to commercialize their own TV designs and the competition signals the beginning of a new replacement cycle in television technology where OLED replaces LCD (so-called LED TVs) in terms of market share. Close to 2 million sets are sold by the end of 2014, as predicted by DisplaySearch, which puts OLED TVs on a clear path to sales of ~40m units annually. As a key enabler, UDC would continue to merit a high PE ratio, or, put another way, would continue to be priced on predicted future sales. I have chosen to express the figures the latter way, modeling anticipated future sales and using a 15 P/E ratio typical for a mature high-tech supplier.

      Material Revenue (4 billion x .30) $1.2 billion
      + Licensing Revenue $80m
      - Operating Expense (75% margin, 50% increase in base expenses) $338m
      = Net Earnings $942m
      / 46.2m shares x 15 PE $305.84/share
      This scenario illustrates the sheer material volume likely to be associated with OLED televisions. UDC having any piece of the pie would certainly be a game changer, should OLED fulfill its promise to become the dominant technology for large displays. More work probably needs to be done (not necessarily by UDC) for that to happen. Nonetheless, this scenario may well be the most likely path of technological progress in display technology.

      Conclusion

      These scenarios are meant only to illustrate the relative importance of the factors in play for UDC's current revenue. I have tried to extrapolate available data into best possible estimates for each variable and then done the math, but most estimates involve a degree of guesswork that gives the resultant valuations ballpark validity at best. Keep in mind also that I am not including host or development income and am completely ignoring longer term prospects like general lighting and flexible displays. In light of all this, I believe the data clearly shows that if adoption of UDC's green materials is confirmed, there is significant upside from the current valuation. Investors should be able to gain clarity on this point from the upcoming earnings report, as detailed above. Finally, PANL represents a rare multi-bagger opportunity should the company's materials enable broad commercialization of OLED televisions. The information presented here and in the prior article can be used to assess developments over the next year or so towards that goal.

      Hätte man mal vorher wissen müßen das Samsung seine Rechnungen beu $PANL nur jeweils im 2. und 4. Quartal bezahlt ;) Gute 17% Kursverlust an einem Tag sind schon heftig, erwarte aber das es entsprechend schnell einen rebound geben wird.

      Hier ein interessanter Artikel dazu: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/05/10/dont-panic-…

      kleiner Auszug:

      To be sure, take a look at the market's knee-jerk reaction to Universal Display's last several quarterly reports, keeping in mind Samsung's payment's only arrives in the second and fourth quarters of each year:

      Q1 2013 (today): Shares fall 16%
      Q4 2012: "Universal Display Lights It Up," shares rise 16%
      Q3 2012: "Why Universal Display Shares Are Going Dim," shares fall 18%
      Q2 2012: "Why Universal Display's Shares Soared," shares rise 17%
      Q1 2012: "Why Universal Display Shares Plunged," shares fall 11%

      Universal Display announces 1Q13 financial results
      Press release; Alex Wolfgram, DIGITIMES [Monday 13 May 2013]


      Universal Display has reported a net loss of US$4.8 million, or (US$0.10) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013, compared to a net loss of US$1.2 million, or (US$0.03) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012. Revenues for the first quarter of 2013 were US$15 million, up 19% compared to first-quarter 2012 revenues of US$12.6 million, led by a 21% increase in material sales to US$12.8 million compared to first quarter 2012 material sales of US$10.6 million. Within overall material sales, commercial material sales were US$10.5 million in the first quarter of 2013, up 40% compared to US$7.5 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in commercial material sales was due mainly to greater demand for the company's green emitter and host materials from AMOLED display customers, said the company.

      No revenue was recognized under the Samsung Display Corporation (SDC) licensing agreement in the quarter, as SDC is obligated to make licensing payments in just the second and fourth quarters of the year. Universal Display anticipates recognizing US$20 million in licensing revenue under the SMD contract in each of the second and fourth quarters of 2013, said the company.

      "Commercial material revenues were up 40% in the first quarter as we began shipping production quantities of both green emitter and host materials," said Universal Display CEO Sidney D Rosenblatt. "With two different color materials shipping at production volumes, we now have more than twice as much content in commercial products than at any previous point in the company's history. As we build our organization to capitalize on this emerging market, we believe we can achieve attractive gross margins and leverage our fixed infrastructure to create excellent returns for shareholders."

      Operating expenses for Universal Display in the first quarter of 2013 were US$22.1 million, up 56% compared to US$14.2 million in the first quarter of 2012. Approximately US$2.7 million of the increase was due to higher patent and amortization of acquired technology expenses, which primarily reflects amortization associated with the Fujifilm OLED patent portfolio acquisition. Additionally, Universal Display's research and development expenses was up US$2.3 million, which included US$1 million to scale up a new red emitter material to commercial status. Cost of materials in the quarter was up approximately US$2 million from the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to an increase in the quantity of materials sold, changes in product mix, and increased raw material costs for certain products, the company added.

      Universal Display's balance sheet remained strong at the end of the quarter, with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling US$220.8 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to US$243.9 million as of December 31, 2012. Cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2013 was US$10.9 million compared to cash used in operating activities of US$2 million in the first quarter of 2012. The increase in cash used in operations in the first quarter of 2013 was mainly due to an over US$7 million reduction in current liabilities as well as an increase in pretax net loss of US$2.1 million, which amount excludes the impact of non-cash items.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 44.615.983 von Libertiner am 12.05.13 17:25:32Universal Display's Drop Seems Excessive
      May 13 2013, 10:16 | about: PANL

      Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)

      Universal Display Corporation (PANL) is involved in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies. The stock has been fairly volatile over the past couple of years, as it's been somewhat difficult to place a fair valuation on the company and the future of the OLED industry. This is particularly seen in the different analyst ratings that have been given to PANL, as many analysts are bullish on the company, while others say PANL's main revenue stream is in serious risk and that it should therefore be sold. For now, it's worth looking into whether PANL's recent move (where it lost over 17% of its value in one day) was justified, or an overreaction.

      The catalyst to set the ball rolling for PANL's drop was its Q1 2013 earnings release. PANL earned $15 million in revenues in Q1 2013, with a net loss of $4.8 million. PANL had a substantial increase in material sales from Q1 2012, with commercial material revenues largely being up due to PANL shipping both green emitter and host materials. Operating expenses were also up substantially, largely due to patent amortization expense and research and development costs (cost of materials was up $2 million from Q1 2012).

      PANL's Q1 2013 results do not appear to be disappointing (CEO Steven V. Abramson says "The first quarter was a great start to what we believe will be another record year for Universal Display Corporation"), and guidance for fiscal 2013 is in a healthy range of $110 million to $125 million (substantially higher than total revenue in 2012, which came in at around $83 million), which begs the question of why PANL had a substantial sell-off upon releasing earnings. In my view, the main considerations PANL investors should take into account now are the following:

      The majority of PANL's revenue is dependent on Samsung, as PANL supplies material for screens in Samsung phones. Samsung pays PANL in the second and fourth quarters, which is why Q2 2012 and Q4 2012 revenues for PANL were over twice as high as Q1 and Q3 quarters. The fact that PANL's Q1 2013 revenue was substantially below Q4 2012 revenue is immaterial, as the Samsung payment disrupts the numbers. PANL is expected to receive payment from Samsung again in Q2 2013, and thus next quarter will have far higher revenues.

      As previously mentioned, there is substantial uncertainty surrounding the future of the OLED industry, which PANL operates in. DisplaySearch (an industry analyst firm) expects the AMOLED market to grow 60% in 2013 to $11.3 million, with revenue growth mostly coming from the mobile phone. However, I wonder if OLED displays in televisions will also be a substantial driver of growth in the industry.

      While OLED televisions have been released (most notably from LG), they have yet to become commonplace, and it looks like Samsung will continue to be the primary revenue source for PANL in 2013.

      Samsung says orders for its new Galaxy S4 phone (which uses OLED technology, has an extremely sharp display and is brighter than the S3) have been so strong that it has had difficulty meeting the demand, and up to 100 million units of the phone could eventually be sold. This is beneficial for PANL.
      Host material (used in conjunction with emitter material) has lower margins than emitter material, and it would seem that the rate of adoption for PANL's green emitter material is one of the most important indicators for whether the company will flourish in the future. In Q1 2013, green emitter sales increased by $3.1 million, while red emitter sales (used by Samsung) decreased by $1.9 million.

      Outlook

      Given PANL's rather steady drop on Friday May 10, of nearly $4, at its current price PANL appears to be an excellent speculative buy. While there are uncertainties, PANL has plenty of room for growth in the next couple of years as the OLED industry continues to thrive, and after reading through its recent results I do not see any major concerns that were not already present.

      Universal Display's CEO Presents at 41st Annual J.P. Morgan Global TMT Conference (Transcript)
      May 15 2013, 16:14 | about: PANL

      Ich habe mal die wichtigste Passage zu den Materialien und Patenten rauskopiert.

      ............

      Steve Abramson - CEO
      Good question. So there are two types of emitters, there is the – - emitter is actually what emits the light. So for those you we make some of the materials that actually emit the light in the Samsung display. So there are two types of emitters, there is a old type called florescent emitters and the new type called phosphorescent emitters. We own phosphorescent emitters. So all we have fundamental types on that as well as the patents on the materials themselves. So all of the red emitters in commercial production are owned by us. Up until recently florescent green was the green that was used in the products that’s now transitioning to phosphorescent green. And again we are the only ones that can supply in the phosphorescent emitter materials into the market. So as the trend moves towards phosphorescent emitters, it’s our entire market.

      Unidentified Analyst
      Is there anything – so assuming no new chemistry is found to emit light, phosphorescent light from these chemicals or compounds, you guys would have 100% of the market, is that the idea or you license the technology of someone to produce it, is that –

      Steve Abramson - CEO
      Well, that’s the idea although we have the fundamental patents of phosphorescent emitters through 2020. Our fundamental patents start expiring in 2017-2018 and the fundamental patents run through 2020. We don’t license those emitter patents out. We manufacture – we have the emitters manufactured by us, for us, by PPG Industries especially chemical manufacturer and glass manufacturer located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They are manufacturing our emitters at one plant Pennsylvania now. They have another plant soon to manufacture more of the materials.

      In addition, when we look to green, we’ve had a green emitter for a while but the problem is that there wasn’t a good enough host materials. So the way the emissive system works in OLED is the dope system. So you have the emitter and you dope a small amount, relatively small amount of that into a host material and that’s how the light is emitted. So what we started doing is working on host materials as well and the host emitter system is what we are now selling. The host has two components to it, it’s a component that we make and it’s a component that our partner company of ours makes.

      Rumor: Apple testing 1.5" OLED displays for wearable 'iWatch'
      By Sam Oliver

      Development of Apple's rumored smart watch is allegedly gaining momentum, as a pair of new reports claim the company is testing 1.5-inch OLED screens for a wrist-worn device, and that Foxconn has been contracted to build a trial batch.

      The latest rumors on Apple's so-called "iWatch" were highlighted on Monday by Macotakara. The publication spotted pair of reports from Taiwan's Economic Daily News which, like other publications that print unattributed rumors stemming from Apple's supply chain, has a hit-or-miss track record.

      In the first report, the publication claims that Apple is testing organic light emitting diode displays for its anticipated smart watch. The company allegedly tested 1.8-inch panels, but felt they were too big, prompting development to go smaller with 1.5-inch displays.

      According to the report, Apple is exploring 1.5-inch OLED touchscreens manufactured by RiTdisplay of Taiwan that use one-glass-solution touch sensors. This would allow the display component to be as thin as possible for the wearable accessory.

      It should be noted that rumors for years have claimed that Apple is interested in OLED displays, but to date the company has never used the display technology in any of its devices. OLED screens could, however, be an optimal choice for wearable technology because of their low power consumption levels.

      In a second report, the Daily News claims that Foxconn, Apple's longtime manufacturing partner, has already received orders for an "iWatch." However, the initial production run is said to be for no more than a thousand units, as Foxconn is allegedly running a "small-scale trial production."

      With "iWatch" rumors heating up, one survey from last month found that 19 percent of consumers are interested in buying such a device from Apple. That exceeds pre-announcement interest in both the iPad and Intel-based Mac hardware.

      Rumors of an Apple smart watch began growing earlier this year, when a number of reports claimed that the company is developing a wearable wrist accessory. One such report claimed that the company has a 100-person team working on the project.

      Bloomberg: Samsung und LG revidieren Fokus auf OLED-Fernseher

      New York/Seoul, 26. Mai 2013: Die südkoreanischen Elektronikriesen Samsung und LG überdenken laut einem Bericht des Wirtschaftsportals Bloomberg.com ihre Strategie, weitere Milliardensummen in die Produktion von Fernsehern aus Organischen Leuchtdioden (OLEDs) zu investieren. Laut Bloomberg wollen sie zwar nicht aus dem OLED-TV-Geschäft aussteigen, aber sich stärker auf hochaufgelöste Bildschirme in klassischer LCD-Technologie konzentrieren.

      Solch ein Strategiewechsel könnte auch das Wachstum ihrer OLED-Zulieferer – darunter die Dresdner Novaled – ausbremsen. Hintergrund sind nach Bloomberg-Angaben anhaltende Probleme beider Konzerne, die Ausbeute in der Fertigung großen OLED-Bildschirme in den Griff zu bekommen. In der Folge seien nur wenige OLED-Fernseher allein in Südkorea und dies zu exorbitanten Preisen erhältlich, die Produktion bleibe bisher unprofitabel. Kleinere OLED-Displays hingegen werden hingegen bereits seit geraumer Zeit in Computertelefonen und Autoradios verbaut. hw

      Novaled: Markt für organische Bildschirme brummt

      Dresdner rechnen nicht mit Rückzug von Samsung und LG
      Dresden, 27. Mai 2013: Der Markt für „Organische Leuchtdioden“ (OLEDs) brummt und das Interesse führender Elektronikkonzerne in Fernost am Einsatz dieser Zukunftstechnologie für den Bau ultradünner und stromgenügsamer Fernseher ist groß. Das hat Anke Lemke, Sprecherin des Dresdner OLED-Technologieunternehmens „Novaled“ eingeschätzt. Sie relativierte damit eine Analyse des US-Wirtschaftsportals „Bloomberg.com“, laut der Branchengrößen wie Samsung und LG in Südkorea ihr OLED-TV-Engagement zurückzufahren gedenken. „Die Nachfrage vor allem von asiatischer Seite an unseren OLED-Materialien und -Technologien ist sehr groß“, betonte Lemke.


      Gebogene OLED-Fernseher nach Kino-Leinwand-Vorbild
      Während der jüngsten internationalen Bildschirm-Fachmesse „SID Week“ im kanadischen Vancouver hatten Vertreter von Samsung und LG betont, am Ausbau des OLED-Bildschirmgeschäfts festhalten zu wollen. Sie stellten unter anderem neue organische TV-Geräte wie einen nur vier Millimeter dünnen und ähnlich wie eine Kinoleinwand konkav gebogenen OLED-Fernseher vor. „Solche coolen Bauformen sind nur mit OLEDs möglich“, sagte Lemke. Neben den Platzhirschen Samsung und LG zeigen inzwischen auch Sony, Panasonic und Apple zunehmendes Interesse, OLED-Bildschirme in ihre Endprodukte einzubauen.

      Südkoreaner haben indes Ausbeute-Probleme
      Allerdings kämpfen die Südkoreaner immer noch mit Ausbeute-Problemen. Wahrscheinlich werden daher erst 2014 OLED-Fernseher in größeren Stückzahlen auf dem Markt kommen, schätzte Lemke ein.

      Die TU-Ausgründung „Novaled“ gehört zu den Schlüsselzulieferern für solche organischen Bildschirme. Das Unternehmen wächst seit Jahren stark und hat auch im vergangenen Jahr seinen Umsatz steigern können. Die Vorteile der OLEDs liegen unter anderem in der sehr dünnen Bauweise, dem niedrigen Energieverbrauch und der Möglichkeit, halbtransparente und biegsame Displays – wie sie unter anderem für in Auto-Windschutzscheiben eingebaute OLED-Navigationszentralen von Interesse sind. Allerdings sind OLEDs noch recht teuer und die Herstellung großer Paneele ist technologisch noch sehr aufwändig. Heiko Weckbrodt

      Digitimes Research: AMOLED production capacity expected to increase 327% by 2015
      Tony Huang, DIGITIMES Research, Taipei [Friday 31 May 2013]


      The production capacity of AMOLED panel technology is expected to reach 11.47 million square meters in 2015, up 327% compared to 2012, according to Digitimes Research.

      The percentage increase is largely due to Korea-based panel makers expanding production of the technology for use in smartphone and TV applications. In 2012, LG Display and Samsung Display were responsible for 97.7% of AMOLED production capacity, but that percentage is expected to drop to 83.7% in 2015 as other panel makers in China, Taiwan and Japan are expected to bump up production of the technology, said Digitimes Research.

      China-based panel makers alone are expected to hold a 7.4% AMOLED production capacity proportion in 2015, Digitimes Research added.

      By 2015, 53% of AMOLED production capacity is expected to be used for small- to medium-size applications.

      Tight Supply of AMOLED Mobile Phone Panels Expected in 2H’13, Reports NPD DisplaySearch

      AMOLED Demand Forecast to More than Double between Q1’13 and Q1’14; Large-Area FPD Supply Expected to Tighten As Well

      Santa Clara, Calif., June 3, 2013

      Rapidly growing demand for smartphones with larger displays is one of the most positive drivers of the FPD industry in 2013. AMOLED phone panel shipments are projected to reach more than 217 million units this year, up from 134 million units in 2012, which, along with increasing screen sizes, will lead AMOLED demand to grow from 263,000 square meters in Q1’13 to 557,000 square meters in Q1’14.
      According to the latest NPD DisplaySearch Quarterly FPD Supply/Demand and Capital Spending Report, the supply of AMOLED panels is expected to tighten in the second half of this year, with the supply/demand ratio expected to fall to 1% in Q4’13. This level means there will be no slack for any supply disruptions, and could lead to shortages.
      “Samsung Display still produces the vast majority of commercially available AMOLEDs, and these are mainly used in smartphones. With the recent release of the Galaxy S4 with a 5” full HD AMOLED display, Samsung will need to run its AMOLED fabs at maximum capacity to keep up with expected high demand,” stated Charles Annis, Vice President of Manufacturing Research at NPD DisplaySearch.
      “As the supply/demand ratio is expected to tighten dramatically, Samsung is moving to significantly extend capacity at its A2 Gen 5.5 fab this year and next. Additionally, the company may also accelerate its plan for A3, another new AMOLED production line,” added Annis.
      Figure 1: AMOLED Supply/Demand Forecast



      Source: NPD DisplaySearch Quarterly FPD Supply/Demand and Capital Spending Report
      Availability of large-area FPDs (mostly TFT LCD) is also expected to tighten throughout 2013. As prices for TVs continue to fall, consumers are moving to larger sets, helping to drive an increase in area demand. Large-area supply/demand is forecast to decline from 21.9% in Q1’13 to 11.8% in Q3’13. As a result, average fab utilization will likely rise above 85%. With TFT capacity forecasted to grow only 4% in 2014 and demand likely to increase 10%, the tightening is forecast to continue to Q3’14, when large area FPD supply/demand is projected to fall to a very tight 6%.
      “Rapid growth of smartphones and tablets, in conjunction with the continued shift towards larger average TV sizes, are driving a recovery of the FPD industry. In Q4’12, average operating margins for FPD manufacturers turned positive for the first time since Q3’10, and this trend is forecast to continue. Additionally, the outlook for fab utilization, equipment spending and technology upgrades is improving this year and potentially will continue into 2014,” added Annis.
      Discussion of these topics and much more can be found in the NPD DisplaySearch Quarterly FPD Supply/Demand and Capital Spending Report. The report is a comprehensive guide to the most important metrics used to evaluate supply, demand and capital spending for all major FPD technologies and applications.

      Na ja das erklärt wohl einiges. Hab mich schon gewundert, warum die heute so abtauchen. Obwohl im Moment läuft die Gegenbewegung.

      Wedbush defends Universal Display, says Novaled not a threat
      • 2:36 PM

      • The firm asserts Novaled provides materials for "the electron and hole injecting and transport layers" of an OLED display. Whereas Universal Display (OLED -6.9%) provides host/emitter materials.
      • Universal shares are bouncing from the day's lows, but are still off sharply.

      Universal Display soars on strong materials sales, guidance • 4:55 PM
      • Universal Display (OLED) expects 2013 revenue "to reach the high end of its $110M-$125M guidance range" That's going over well in light of fears the opposite might hold true due to softer-than-expected Galaxy S4 sales. Consensus is at $118.8M.
      • Q2 materials sales +111% Y/Y to $27.1M. Royalty/license fees +37% Y/Y to $21.2M (payments from Samsung recognized in Q2 and Q4). Possible reasons for surging materials sales: Samsung's strong low-end/mid-range smartphone sales, and rising green emitter use.
      • Materials gross margin (a concern following the Q1 report) was 69.4% vs. 75.8% in Q1 and 87.5% a year ago.
      • R&D spend +1% Y/Y to $7.3M, SG&A +22% to $6.4M. Patent/amortization costs doubled to $4.5M; Universal attributes this to the Fujitsu deal.
      • Operating cash flow +136% Y/Y to $26.4M.
      OLED +20.4% AH. CC at 5PM ET. Q2 results, PR.

      Na, also - geht doch.

      Cheil Industries übernimmt die Novaled AG

      Seoul (Südkorea), Dresden (Deutschland), 9. August 2013. Cheil Industries, ein führender koreanischer Hersteller von elektronischen Materialien für die Bildschirmindustrie, und Novaled AG, ein führendes Technologieunternehmen im Bereich organischer Leuchtdioden (OLED), haben heute die Übernahme der Mehrheitsanteile an Novaled durch Cheil Industries bekannt gegeben. Die Transaktion bewertet Novaled mit € 260 Mio.

      Cheil Industries hat sich heute mit den Aktionären von Novaled geeinigt, den Mehrheitsanteil von ca. 50% an der Gesellschaft zu übernehmen. Samsung Electronics erwirbt weitere 40%, während Samsung Venture Investment seinen bestehenden Anteil von ca. 10% behalten wird. Im Rahmen der Übernahme wird Novaled mit einem Unternehmenswert von € 260 Mio. bewertet, inklusive einer erfolgsabhängigen Komponente in Höhe von € 30 Mio.

      „Technologischer Vorsprung wird zukünftig über die Marktführerschaft im Bildschirmmarkt entscheiden. Durch die Übernahme von Novaled stärkt Cheil Industries seine führende Stellung im Bereich elektronischer Materialien, und wir sind in der Lage, entscheidende Synergien in der Forschung und Entwicklung von OLED Material der nächsten Generationen zu erreichen“, so Jong-Woo Park, CEO von Cheil Industries.

      Novaleds Aktionärsstruktur umfasst Finanzinvestoren und Einzelpersonen, u.a. eCAPITAL entrepreneurial Partners AG, Zweite TechnoStart Ventures Fonds GmbH & Co. KG, Omnes Capital, TechFund Europe Management S.A.S., Innovation Capital S.A.S., KfW, Dresden Fonds GmbH und TUDAG TU Dresden AG. „Der Verkauf an Cheil Industries und Samsung Electronics markiert den erfolgreichen Abschluss einer Partnerschaft, die 2011 mit der strategischen Beteiligung durch Samsung Venture Investments an Novaled begann. Am Ende führte ein zweigleisiges Verfahren, das auch ein mögliches Listing an der NASDAQ vorsah, nicht nur zur besten Lösung für die Gesellschaft, sondern gleichzeitig auch zur Realisierung einer der erfolgreichsten Venture Capital-Transaktionen in Deutschland“, sagte Paul-Josef Patt, CEO von eCAPITAL und Leadinvestor seit Anfang 2009. „Die Transaktion markiert den Beginn einer neuen Ära in der Entwicklung von Novaled, sowohl im Bildschirmmarkt als auch im Leuchtenmarkt. Als Novaled Leadinvestor in 2005, der die wesentlichen strategischen Entscheidungen der Gesellschaft mit begleitet hat, begrüßen wir den Zusammenschluss mit Cheil Industries“, kommentierte Michel de Lempdes, Partner bei Omnes Capital.

      Im Rahmen der Transaktion werden Cheil Industries und Samsung Electronics auch die Anteile der Gründer von Novaled übernehmen. „Der Kauf durch Cheil Industries ist ein Meilenstein in der Geschichte von Novaled und eine Demonstration der Leistungsfähigkeit der Dopingtechnologie, die Performance von OLEDs zu steigern. Dies war unser Ziel, als wir Novaled 2001 gegründet haben“, so Dr. Jan Blochwitz-Nimoth.

      Novaled ist ein führendes Technologieunternehmen im Bereich hocheffizienter, langlebiger organischer Leuchtdioden. Durch die Bündelung von Know-how zu Dopingtechnologien zur Erhöhung der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit, leistungsstarken organischen Materialien und Expertise in der Entwicklung effizienter OLED-Strukturen ist Novaled in der Lage, OLED Bildschirm- und Leuchtenherstellern maßgeschneiderte Lösungen anzubieten, die nicht nur die Leistungsfähigkeit ihrer Produkte in Sachen Energieeffizienz, Stabilität und Lebensdauer optimieren, sondern auch Produktionskomplexität und Kosten reduzieren. Im Jahr 2012 erzielte die Novaled AG einen Umsatz von ca. € 26 Mio.

      Die Gesellschaft verfügt über ein weltweites Industrienetzwerk mit den wesentlichen OLED Produzenten und Entwicklern, sowie über mehr als 500 bereits erteilte oder angemeldete Patente. Novaled entstand in 2001 als Ausgründung der Technischen Universität Dresden und des Fraunhofer Instituts in Dresden.

      Die Übernahme der Novaled, ihrer Technologie und Patente ermöglicht Cheil Industries eine führende Rolle im schnell wachsendem OLED Markt einzunehmen sowie die Marktführerschaft bei organischem Bildschirmmaterial zu festigen. Laut DisplaySearch soll der OLED Bildschirmmarkt von US$ 8 Mrd. in 2012 auf US$ 20 Mrd. in 2017 wachsen. Cheil Industries plant, Novaled’s bestehendes Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum in Dresden weiter zu führen sowie einen wesentlichen Teil seiner OLED F&E Strategie am Standort Dresden zu konzentrieren.

      „Durch die Unterstützung unserer Aktionäre sowie unserer öffentlichen Stakeholder hat sich die Novaled AG als ein weltweit führendes Technologieunternehmen im OLED Bereich etabliert“, so Gildas Sorin, CEO der Novaled AG. „Wir freuen uns, Cheil Industries und Samsung Electronics als neue Eigentümer zu begrüßen. Cheil Industries und Novaled verfügen über sich ergänzende Stärken, die beide Seiten zur Weiterentwicklung der gesamten OLED Industrie einsetzen werden.“

      Die Übernahme erfolgt vorbehaltlich der erforderlichen behördlichen Genehmigungen.

      Goldman Sachs, Sullivan & Cromwell und Fox Corporate Finance waren als Berater der Novaled und ihrer Aktionäre tätig. ARQIS Rechtsanwälte waren als Berater des Novaled Managements tätig. Citi und Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom waren als Berater von Cheil Industries und Samsung Electronics tätig.

      Nach diesem Artikel keine. Das Wettrennen um blaues Emitter Material scheint aber im vollen Gang zu sein

      Samsung rumor misunderstood

      .....

      An analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. explained why Novaled is different in the technology it offers to Samsung. Novaled makes “transport layers” in OLED displays. Conversely, Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED) products are used in the “emitter layer” in an OLED device. Both are used in the creation of Samsung's displays.
