The exhibition, titled “Neoteric Matter 2”, focuses on jewelry
that is primarily comprised of new 21st century materials, or
late 20th century materials, and their related processes.
Universal Display’s OLED bracelet, using the company’s eco-friendly and
energy-efficient phosphorescent, flexible, and transparent OLED
technologies, will be showcased along with other jewelry that utilizes
electronics, precious metal clay, new metal alloys, and composite
materials.
The bracelet features a wrap around electronic OLED display using
Universal Display’s phosphorescent OLED materials on a flexible metallic
substrate. The resulting display is then integrated into a contemporary
bracelet design.
Emory Krall, Universal Display’s OLED prototype designer, transformed
the company’s OLED bracelet concept into this wearable art form. This
wearable concept utilizes the unique design capabilities of OLED
technology, including its light and thin form factor and flexibility, as
well as the low power consumption of the company’s PHOLED technology.
Krall, who has designed a wide range of products including lighting and
furniture, has had his work featured in numerous gallery exhibits, as
well as various books and magazines.
“It’s an honor to have our designer OLED bracelet on display at such a
distinguished gallery,” says Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief
