Portable Light

Universal Display Corporation (UDC), is presenting a collection of new product concepts for Wired's NextFest, being held this weekend in San Francisco.

UDC is a developer of organic light emitting devices (OLED), with applications for flat panel display screens and other applications.

UDC will be showcasing three innovations, a high-efficiency, phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED) technology, for energy-efficient, solid-state OLED lighting products; and flexible OLED (FOLED) and transparent OLED (TOLED) technologies, which are adaptable to new design opportunities.

The Portable Light exhibit at NextFest features design applications in architecture, textiles and other areas, based on UDC's proprietary flexible and transparent OLED technologies.

One striking application is an ultra-portable handheld personal digital assistant based on a FOLED screen, which rolls up into the size of a pen.
