Additionally, Universal Display Corporation was named to Financial Times’ The Americas’ Fastest-Growing Companies 2021 list.”

 


 

 

Rosenblatt continued, “Last month, we celebrated our twenty-fifth year as a Nasdaq-listed company by virtually ringing the opening bell. It was an incredible milestone that we shared with our employees, customers, partners, and all of our stakeholders. Since our inception, Universal Display Corporation has stood for ‘Vision, Innovation and Reality’ and we have invested approximately $700 million in research and development to advance our company from a start-up to a leading player in the global OLED ecosystem. We continue to broaden and deepen the breadth of our first-mover advantage to further enable our customers and the OLED industry.”
