FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Universal Display Corporation Announces
Third Quarter 2003 Results

Ewing, New Jersey, November 11, 2003 – Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL; PHLX: PNL), a leading developer of Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other opto-electronic applications, today announced its unaudited results of operations for the third quarter of 2003.

Universal Display Corporation had a net loss of $4,697,097 (or $0.21 per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared to a net loss of $16,943,389 (or $0.89 per share) for the same quarter in 2002. The Company had a net loss of $12,653,925 (or $0.58 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to a net loss of $27,819,985 (or $1.50 per share) for the same period in 2002. The decrease in the net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in revenues and a decrease in interest expense as a result of the conversion and repayment of convertible promissory notes in September 2002.

Revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003, were $2,087,885 and $4,671,239 respectively, compared to $586,074 and $1,585,632 for the same periods in 2002. Revenues are broken down as follows:

• The Company recognized $1,450,000 and $1,950,000 in technology development revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, in connection with its technology and development evaluation agreements. There were no similar revenues during the same period of 2002.

• The Company earned $303,725 and $1,549,726 from its sales of OLED materials for evaluation purposes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $254,936 and $442,435 for the same periods in 2002. The increase is due to an increased volume of OLED materials purchased for evaluation by potential OLED manufacturers, including the Company’s current joint development partners.

• The Company earned $267,860 and $1,105,213 in contract research revenue from the U.S. Government during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $331,138 and $1,143,197 for the same periods in 2002.

• The Company commenced sales of OLED chemicals for commercial production and recognized license fees in connection with these sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The Company recorded revenues of $19,890 for sales of these chemicals and $46,410 in associated license fees for each of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003. There were no similar revenues during the same periods in 2002.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4,546,963 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $5,457,824 for the same period in 2002. The decrease of cash used in operating activities is primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s net loss, which resulted from increased revenues.
