DuPont Features Material Innovations for Advanced Displays at SID

WILMINGTON, Del., May 9, 2011 – DuPont will highlight its latest innovations in electronic display technologies at the Society for Information Display’s (SID) Display Week 2011, to be held May 17-19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.  With a broad and growing portfolio of materials and process technologies, DuPont will feature Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) materials for large format displays and lighting, DuPont™ Vertak® optical bonding adhesives for enhanced display durability, DuPont Teijin Films for flexible displays and touch screens, and DuPont™ PerMX™ 3000 dry film for reflective display technology.  Two key poster presentations on DuPont OLED technology will also be presented as part of the technical conference.

“By tailoring highly engineered materials and processes to work together, we’re able to improve display performance and enable cost-effective, next-generation breakthroughs across a broad range of technologies,” said William F. Feehery, Global Business Director, DuPont Electronics and Communications.  “SID creates an ideal environment for the types of discussions that add to our insight, and opens up exciting possibilities for new collaborations to tackle the challenges facing this industry.”

The demonstrations will include OLED displays showcasing the innovative, low-cost fabrication process and high performance OLED materials developed by DuPont.  Printed OLED device performance continues to improve.  For example, DuPont has quadrupled the printed green lifetime over the past year.  New optical bonding adhesives for more rugged, longer life displays, novel stabilized polyester films optimized for touch screen devices, and film technologies for use in color e-paper applications are also a focus for DuPont.

In addition to participating in the exhibition at SID, DuPont representatives will deliver two significant technical presentations.  Jonathan Ziebarth will focus on Measurement Methods for Solution-coated AMOLED Display Uniformity. The data of this presentation will show how DuPont printed AMOLEDs match or exceed the uniformity of commercial AMLCDs. Mark Hildner will discuss the Extraction of Printed OLED Internal Emission Characteristics.
