The korean company Duksan Hi-Metal is taking legal action because the company can not produce phosphorescent OLED materials because of the patents of Universal-Display.
For a few weeks UDC lost the recent court battle in Japan, while previously as of March 23 two of its other material patents were invalidated.

UDC says it will appeal the Japanese ruling and emphasizes that other patents remain valid and enforceable.

Duksan says that UDC wasn’t the first to use phosphorescent materials commercially.

At the SID-2011 Universal Display announced new PHOLED material record in lifetime and efficiency.
The main problem is always blue with only 20.000 hours (LT50) Green-Yellow reach 1.4 million hours, and their red color reach 900.000 hours.

Plextronics announced today that its Plexcore® OC NQ ink has been integrated into Universal Display Corporation’s P2OLED™ solution-processed, phosphorescent OLED technology to assist in achieving lower operating voltage and longer lifetime in test devices. The latest developments were announced by Universal Display Corporation at the International Display Manufacturing Conference (IDMC 2011) held April 18 – 21 at the Taipei International Convention Center in Taipei, Taiwan. This is the second time in less than five months that UDC has announced breakthrough performance improvements in its P2OLED™ program that include the use of Plexcore® OC NQ ink.

Universal Display enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today announced that the company has established a new subsidiary in Japan to better serve and support the needs of the company’s OLED display and white lighting customers and partners in the country.
