MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – 12 June, 2012 – 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™, it’s 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. Thus, companies focusing on delivering technologies that aim to offer higher value to display manufacturers are in a strong position to achieve a dominant share of the global AMOLED display market. “IGNIS Innovation stands…

Kitchener, Canada – May 18, 2011 – IGNIS announces a 3.47” 320 × 480 pixel AMOLED display, manufactured by RiTdisplay Corporation, and built with IGNIS patented AdMo™ compensation technology which makes the display more stable and more uniform. The display is ideal for mobile phones and other portable applications that require the bright image, rich colours, ultra-high contrast, and lower power of an AMOLED display. IGNIS and RiTdisplay will be demonstrating the product at booth #728 at SID Display Week 2011, from May 16-20 in Los Angeles. Until now, all AMOLED displays have been made with polysilicon backplanes, a higher-cost material. However, amorphous silicon is an attractive material for AMOLED since it’s used to make most of the world’s LCD displays. Compared to polysilicon it’s highly uniform, less expensive, and represents 95% of the world’s manufacturing capacity for displays. It was previously thought that amorphous silicon backplanes were unsuitable for OLED due to stability problems; however IGNIS technology has solved the stability problems, paving the way for this first product. “The performance is equivalent to polysilicon AMOLED. The product also incorporates IGNIS’ latest all-in-one driver chip for amorphous silicon AMOLED, which is the first of its kind in today’s AMOLED market,” says Paul Arsenault, President & CEO. “This opens the door for RiTdisplay and other…
