EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL), an innovator behind today’s
and tomorrow’s displays and lighting products
through its Universal PHOLED™ phosphorescent
OLED technology, today announced that the Company has been awarded the ‘Distinguished
Poster Paper’ award at the 2008 Society for
Information Display Conference, Symposium and Exhibition, being held
this week at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Senior Scientist Dr. Jason Brooks is being honored for his presentation,
titled “A Near-Infrared
Phosphorescent OLED for Day/Night Display,”
which he will deliver today at 4:00 P.M. PT in Exhibit Hall B.
“Universal Display congratulates Dr. Jason

“Universal Display congratulates Dr. Jason
Brooks and the rest of the team who contributed to the advances
recognized by this award,” said Steven V.
Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Display. “The
past year has brought a number of advancements in the design,
performance and versatility of our PHOLED technology for the commercial
and military markets. This award recognizes the hard work of everyone
involved, as Universal Display, Professors Mark Thompson and Steve
Forrest, and their research teams, continue to achieve new milestones
and advances in our OLED technologies.”
Dr. Brooks’ poster details advances in
flexible phosphorescent OLED displays that offer both day and nighttime
functionality. The dual display utilizes visible-color emission for
daytime use and infrared emission for covert night vision applications.
By unifying what would otherwise be two devices, the display design is
especially useful for soldiers operating in battlefield conditions.

Distinguished Contributed Paper awards, recognizing some of the most
significant technical advances represented in this Symposium. Within
three categories are eleven Distinguished Contributed Papers, one
Distinguished Poster Paper, and three Distinguished Student Papers. The
winners are chosen by the Program Committee from all the contributed
papers based on the originality and novelty of the work, the
significance of the results, and the clarity and quality of the written
summary in the technical digest.
