Universal Display Corporation

Universal Display Corporation develops and commercializes advanced organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies and proprietary phosphorescent materials. The company invents, researches, and supplies UniversalPHOLED® emissive material systems, licensing its intellectual property to manufacturers for integration into display and solid-state lighting products. This technical approach emphasizes efficiency and performance.

The company was founded in 1994 by Sherwin Seligsohn. His vision for next-generation display technology emerged after observing early research by Drs. Forrest and Thompson at Princeton University into self-emissive organic materials. Seligsohn recognized the potential of energy-efficient OLEDs, establishing UDC with a Princeton research contract to advance this nascent technology.

Universal Display's materials and technologies are widely adopted by manufacturers of active-matrix OLED displays and lighting solutions. Their products are integrated into a broad range of devices, from wearables to large televisions. The company's mission is to be a critical enabler within the evolving OLED ecosystem, driving the growth and advancement of energy-efficient display and lighting innovations.
