Dupont big goal is to produce cheap and large OLED-Tv panels. The goal is to make a mass production line which the Flat-Tv panel manufacturer can print a 50-55 inch OLED-Television under two minutes. To reach this goal Dupont plans to develop a small prototype manufacturing facility in Newark for OLED panels. The Council on Development finance approved for that goal 920.000 dollars grant from the Delaware Strategic Fund. DuPont is investing $30 million of its own funds to install equipment at its Stine-Haskell Research Center off Elkton Road in Newark, the state reported. The project will add 35 full-time jobs, including nine professional workers and 26 engineers and skilled laborers, said Alan Levin, state economic development director. At the CES-2012 LG-Electronics and Samsung showcased 55 inch OLED-Tv prototypes. The price of this panels is expected up to 6000 dollars. With Duponts technology it will help to bring the price down.
Dupont has already signed a licensing agreement with an Asian company to produce large OLED-Tv with this technology. We expect that this company is Samsung. Dupont earns 20 million dollar for that licensing deal!
