OLED-TV Display/Monitor Technology News

Reuters makes some Interview with Merck's chemicals business chief Walter Zywottek.

He said that any serious commercial OLED application would not arrive before 2010.

Zywottek said Merck is also boosting its investment in OLED but is not expecting it to play the role that liquid crystals now have at the company.

"It will not be one dominating supplier in OLED. Not a single supplier will have such a strong position as we have in liquid crystals," he said.

"There will be different companies with different materials and we will be one of them," he added.

Zywottek said more than 100 researchers have been working on OLED technology for a couple of years at Merck.

Merck announced on Thursday it is investing 47 million euros in a new research and development centre at its Darmstadt headquarters for the chemicals business, including for OLED.
