Universal Display Corporation Signs Commercial Agreement with LG.Philips LCD for Supply and Use of PHOLED™ Materials

Business Wire, May 30, 2007

EWING, N.J. & SEOUL, Korea -- Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:PANL), a force behind today's evolving displays and lighting with its phosphorescent OLED technology, announced that the company has entered into an agreement to supply its proprietary PHOLED[TM] phosphorescent OLED materials and technology to LG.Philips LCD for use in the company's manufacture of commercial active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display products.

Financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed; however, as is customary with these agreements, Universal Display will recognize commercial chemical sales and license fee revenues from its supply of materials to LG.Philips LCD. The term of the agreement runs through June 30, 2008.

"LG.Philips LCD has long been a leader in LCD display products, and we are excited to be part of their plans for the production of AMOLED display products for the commercial market," said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Display. "This new agreement with LG.Philips LCD illustrates the acceptance of our phosphorescent OLED technology and materials by the display industry for thinner, energy-efficient commercial OLED displays."

LG.Philips LCD is currently focused on introducing small and medium-sized OLED panel applications. The relationship between LG.Philips LCD and Universal Display most recently yielded the world's first high-resolution AMOLED display built on flexible metal foil utilizing Universal Display's proprietary high-efficiency PHOLED and FOLED[R] flexible technologies.

Universal Display focuses on the research and development of proprietary PHOLED and related OLED technologies, which the Company licenses to major display manufacturers, such as LG.Philips. The Company is also involved in PHOLED material sales, supplying manufacturers with highly-efficient phosphorescent OLED materials.

OLEDs, which emit light through the use of organic materials, have several major benefits compared to LCD technology. They require no backlight and can be much lighter in weight. The technology also enhances displays with wider viewing angles, high contrast, excellent resolution, and quick response. OLEDs are commonly seen as the next-generation component for flat panel displays, and are also highly anticipated as a key technology in the development of flexible displays.

Through the use of Universal Display's proprietary PHOLED materials and technology, OLED displays can be significantly more power efficient than active-matrix LCD (AMLCD) displays and up to four times more efficient than those displays using conventional OLED technology. Using the principles of phosphorescence, it is theoretically possible to convert 100% of the energy in an OLED into light. Higher power efficiency translates into reduced power consumption - an important benefit to end users of today's battery-operated cell phones and other portable devices, as well as tomorrow's large-area TVs. PHOLED materials are also well-suited for use in a variety of manufacturing processes, including vacuum thermal evaporation, and are under development for ink-jet printing.

Over the past few years, Universal Display has announced a series of record-breaking performance milestones for its red, green and blue PHOLED systems. Universal Display's PHOLED materials, manufactured by PPG Industries exclusively for Universal Display, are currently being evaluated and used in commercial production by a number of electronics manufacturers.
