Frost & Sullivan Recognizes IGNIS Innovation for its Pioneering AMOLED Display Technology PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 7, 2012 - The AdMo™ technology addresses the AMOLED display industry's requirements and resolves major challenges MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) display market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes IGNIS Innovation with the 2012 Global Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Award for AdMo™, its technology that offers superior quality and low cost of production for AMOLED displays. With this technology, AMOLED display companies can compete against the LCD displays in terms of higher volume and superior display quality. The two major parts of an AMOLED display—the backplane, a thin film transistor (TFT) circuit forming the active matrix on the display, and the front plane, the OLED structure in the display—require two entirely different manufacturing processes and equipment. Further, the backplane manufacturing is highly capital-intensive and technically challenging. As a result, large AMOLED display panels cost twice as much as competing technologies, such as LCDs and plasma display panels. Further, the materials available to manufacture OLEDs, as well as the backplanes, are not yet uniform and stable, which poses a challenge for the AMOLED in reaching economies of scale.
