There is a great interview with Sid Rosenblatt the CFO for Universal Display about the topic of intellectual property and growth in the OLED market.

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.

Yu Han-sung from Duksan:

OLED TVs using phosphorescent OLEDs can be environmentally ‘green’ and consume less power than comparable AMLCDs. In addition, the use of phosphorescent OLEDs reduces operating temperature rise to extend display lifetime and reduce cost. In a comparison of various display architectures, Dr. Hack highlights added power consumption and lifetime advantages through the use of the company’s novel four sub-pixel architecture for OLED TVs.
