Epson's announce the long-life OLED display system

Bangalore

October 24th, 2007

Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") has developed an organic
light-emitting diode ("OLED") display system capable of producing
"the ultimate black." This new technology by Epson offers a new
solution that makes effective use of advanced image representation not possible
with conventional flat panel displays (FPD).

The light emitting capabilities of OLED displays make possible such features
as high contrast, wide viewing angles, and fast response times. In addition, the
display can be made very thin and lightweight, making this new device a
promising candidate for next-generation flat panel displays.

Future plans call for Epson to develop various displays with OLED systems for
different uses, and study their potential for commercialization.

Epson has already installed and commenced operations of a development and
manufacturing line that is capable of small-scale production at its Fujimi Plant
in Nagano prefecture, Japan. From now on, Epson will accelerate its efforts to
develop uses for OLED display systems that make use of advanced image
representation and nurture them into businesses.
