Collaboration draws Europe into OLED flat-panel-display market

摘要

German researchers have achieved encouraging results in research on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), giving rise to the hope that European companies might someday capture a larger portion of the flat-panel-display market. Currently, this market is dominated by suppliers from Asia. The total display market is estimated to be about dollar75 billion and is expected to grow to dollar100 billion in 2008, with cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) progressively losing their share to thin-film-transistor (TFT) displays.
