In 2010, the AMOLED display market more than doubled. As a world- leading OLED technology developer and material supplier, Universal Display has been a key player in fostering this market. In 2010, we saw our revenues double, to over $30M, with the adoption of our technology and materials mirroring the expansion of the market. Throughout the year, AMOLED displays powered by our UniversalPHOLED ® technology and materials became an increasingly desirable feature in handheld portable devices— especially smartphones which saw tremendous market acceptance and growth potential in 2011. Samsung announced that over 10M units of the Gala xy S— its be s t s el li ng smartphone—had shipped globally in just seven months. With the large capital investments being made by our customers, such as Samsung SMD, LG Display and AU Optronics, we expect to see continued proliferation of OLED displays in the next few years. In addition to small-area displays, Samsung showcased a Galaxy Tab prototype with a 7-inch AMOLED display at FPD 2010 in Japan. In 2010, these companies also demonstrated beautiful OLED TV prototypes using our UniversalPHOLED technology and materials at numerous industry events. During the year, we made technological advances across our broad portfolio of proprietary OLED technologies. With our red UniversalPHOLED material systems in widespread commercial use, we worked closely with our customers and our longstanding supply partner, PPG Industries, Inc., to ready new green material systems for commercial introduction. We introduced a new light-blue UniversalPHOLED material system that enabled the demonstration of a novel, all-phosphorescent, four sub-pixel OLED display architecture. This system allowed us to achieve significant improvements in our white OLED performance. We continued our work on material systems for solution-based processing, reporting that our UniversalP2OLED™ material systems are now approaching the efficiencies of PHOLEDs made by vacuum thermal evaporation. Universal Display’s proprietary flexible OLED technology also moved closer to commercial reality in 2010. We delivered a set of wrist-mounted, flexible PHOLED display prototypes—jointly developed with LG Display and L-3 Display Systems—to the U.S. Army for field-testing. Recognizing the potential of our proprietary encapsulation technology for use with flexible displays and other flexible electronics, the National Science Foundation awarded us an SBIR Phase II contract to accelerate our work in this area. To hasten the commercialization of white OLEDs for lighting, Universal Display advanced a number of important initiatives in 2010. We were awarded a $4M U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) contract with Moser Baer Technologies (MBT), a subsidiary of Moser Baer India Limited, for MBT to design and build a white OLED pilot manufacturing facility. Under the new program, we will demonstrate the scalability of our proprietary UniversalPHOLED technology and materials for the manufacture of white OLED lighting panels by MBT. This facility—the first of its kind in the United States—is a major milestone toward developing a manufacturing base and seeding the market for OLED lighting products. During the year, we continued to support the development efforts of OLED lighting companies like Konica Minolta, LG Chem, NEC Lighting, Panasonic Electric Works and Showa Denko. We teamed with Acuity Brands, a leading luminaire manufacturer, to demonstrate a prototype lighting system using PHOLED panels under a $2M DOE SBIR Phase III contract. Our team also made big strides in white PHOLED lighting performance, with significant progress toward reaching Energy Star targets for general lighting. In fact, for the fourth year in a row, the DOE honored Universal Display for its technical achievements in this area. Today, we are proud of the business agreements we have forged with world-leading manufacturers. To support our partners as their products come to market, we continue to expand our international footprint. In addition to collaborating with a number of universities and material developers, we formed subsidiaries in South Korea and Japan and hired additional technical staff to better meet the needs of our customers in these countries. 2010 was a record year for the company. As a result of doubling our revenues from $15.8M in 2009 to $30.5M in 2010, our operating performance improved significantly. The operating loss decreased to $10.2M compared to $20.3M in 2009. Due mainly to non-cash expenses associated with outstanding warrants, the net loss for the year was $19.9M compared to a net loss of $20.5M for 2009. In addition, we used only $4.2M of cash for operating activities. We ended the year with a strong balance sheet—debt free and with $73M in cash and short-term investments. On March 30, 2011, we completed a public offering of 5,750,000 shares of common stock, with the underwriting led by Goldman, Sachs & Co. The offering added approximately $250M to our balance sheet. Thanks to a diverse team of talented engineers, scientists and business professionals from 18 countries, over 1,000 patents issued and pending worldwide, state-of-the-art research facilities and financial stability, we enter 2011 ready to meet the needs of a flourishing OLED industry. With a business model primarily based on technology licensing and UniversalPHOLED material sales, we are well positioned for future growth. As we look ahead, we are poised for profitability and increased shareholder return. Sherwin I. Seligsohn Steven V.

BUSINESS Our Company PART I We are a leader in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode, or OLED, technologies and materials. OLEDs are thin, lightweight and power-efficient solid-state devices that emit light, making them highly suitable for use in full-color displays and as lighting products. OLED displays are capturing a growing share of the flat panel display market. We believe that this is because OLEDs offer potential advantages over competing display technologies with respect to power efficiency, contrast ratio, viewing angle, video response time and manufacturing cost. We also believe that OLED lighting products have the potential to replace many existing light sources in the future because of their high power efficiency, excellent color rendering index, low heat generation and novel form factor. Our technology leadership and intellectual property position should enable us to share in the revenues from OLED displays and lighting products as they enter mainstream consumer and other markets. Our primary business strategy is to further develop and license our proprietary OLED technologies to manufacturers of products for display applications, such as cell phones, portable media devices, tablets, laptop computers and televisions, and specialty and general lighting products. In support of this objective, we also develop new OLED materials and sell materials to those product manufacturers. Through our internal research and development efforts and our relationships with world-class partners such as Princeton University (Princeton), the University of Southern California (USC), the University of Michigan (Michigan), Motorola Solutions, Inc. (f/k/a Motorola, Inc.) (Motorola) and PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG Industries), we have established a significant portfolio of proprietary OLED technologies and materials. We currently own, exclusively license or have the sole right to sublicense more than 1,000 patents issued and pending worldwide. We sell our proprietary OLED materials to customers for evaluation and use in commercial OLED products. We also enter into agreements with manufacturers of OLED display and lighting products under which we grant them licenses to practice under our patents and to use our proprietary know-how. At the same time, we work with these and other companies who are evaluating our OLED technologies and materials for possible use in commercial OLED display and lighting products. Market Overview The Flat Panel Display Market Flat panel displays are essential for a wide variety of portable consumer electronics products, such as cell phones, portable media devices, digital cameras, tablets and laptop computers. Due to their narrow profile and light weight, flat panel displays have also become the display of choice for larger product applications, such as desktop computer monitors and televisions. Liquid crystal displays, or LCDs, currently dominate the flat panel display market. However, we believe that OLED displays are an attractive alternative to LCDs because they offer a number of potential advantages, including:  higher power efficiencies, thereby reducing energy consumption;  a thinner profile and lighter weight;  higher contrast ratios, leading to sharper picture images and graphics;  wider viewing angles;  faster response times for video; and  lower cost manufacturing methods and materials. - 2 - Based on these characteristics, product manufacturers are adopting small-area OLED displays for use in portable electronic devices, such as cell phones, portable media devices and tablets. Manufacturers are also working to develop OLED displays for use in larger applications, such as computer monitors and televisions. We believe that if these efforts are successful, they could result in sizeable markets for OLED displays. In addition, due to the inherent transparency of organic materials and through the use of transparent electrode technology, OLEDs eventually may enable the production of transparent displays for use in products such as automotive windshields and windows with embedded displays. Organic materials also make technically possible the development of flexible displays for use in an entirely new set of product applications. Such applications include display devices that can be conformed to certain shapes or even rolled up for storage. The Solid-State Lighting Market Traditional incandescent light bulbs are inefficient because they convert only about 5% of the energy they consume into visible light, with the rest emerging as heat. Fluorescent lamps use excited gases, or plasmas, to achieve a higher energy conversion efficiency of about 20%. However, the color rendering index, or CRI, of most fluorescent lamps – in other words, the quality of their color compared to an ideal light source – is inferior to that of an incandescent bulb. Fluorescent lamps also pose environmental concerns because they typically contain mercury. Solid-state lighting relies on the direct conversion of electricity to visible white light using semiconductor materials. By avoiding the heat and plasma-producing processes of incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps, solid-state lighting products can have substantially higher energy conversion efficiencies, which in theory could approach 100%. There are currently two basic types of solid-state lighting devices: inorganic light emitting diodes, or LEDs, and OLEDs. Current LEDs are very small in size (about one square millimeter) and are extremely bright. Having been developed about 25 years before OLEDs, they are already employed in various specialty lighting products, such as traffic lights, billboards, replacements for neon lighting and as border or accent lighting. However, the high operating temperatures and intense brightness of LEDs may make them less desirable for general illumination and diffuse lighting applications. OLEDs, on the other hand, are larger in size and can be viewed directly, without using diffusers that are required to temper the intense brightness of LEDs. OLEDs can be built on any suitable surface, including glass, plastic or metal foil, and could be cost-effective to manufacture in high volume. Given these characteristics, product manufacturers are working to develop OLEDs for diffuse specialty lighting applications and ultimately general illumination. If these efforts are successful, we believe that OLED lighting products could begin to be used for applications currently addressed by incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps, as well as for new applications that take advantage of the OLED form factor. Our Competitive Strengths We believe our position as one of the leading technology developers in the OLED industry is the direct result of our technological innovation. We have built an extensive intellectual property portfolio around our OLED technologies and materials, and are working diligently to enable our manufacturing partners to adopt our OLED technologies and materials for expanding commercial usage. Our key competitive strengths include: Technology Leadership. We are a recognized technology leader in the OLED industry. We and our research partners pioneered the development of our UniversalPHOLED® phosphorescent OLED technologies, which can be used to produce OLEDs that are up to four times as efficient as traditional fluorescent OLEDs and significantly more efficient than current backlit LCDs. We believe that our phosphorescent OLED technologies are well-suited for industry usage in the commercial production of OLED displays and lighting products. Through our relationships with companies such as PPG Industries and our academic partners, we have also developed other important OLED technologies, as well as novel OLED materials that we believe will facilitate the adoption of our various OLED technologies by product manufacturers. Relationships with Leading Product Manufacturers. We have established relationships with well-known manufacturers that are using, or are evaluating, our OLED technologies and materials for use in commercial products. In 2010, Samsung Mobile Display Co., Ltd. (Samsung SMD), LG Display Co., Ltd. (LG Display) and Tohoku Pioneer Corporation (Tohoku Pioneer) purchased our proprietary OLED materials for use in commercial OLED display products. In February 2011, we entered into a collaborative arrangement with Moser Baer Technologies, Inc. (Moser Baer) to support its development and manufacture of OLED lighting products. Previously, we entered into license agreements with Showa - 3 - Denko K.K. (Showa Denko) for its manufacture of OLED lighting products by solution processing methods (2009), Konica Minolta for its manufacture of OLED lighting products (2008), Samsung SMD for its manufacture of active matrix OLED (AMOLED) display products (2005), and DuPont Displays for its manufacture of solution-processed OLED display products using proprietary OLED materials obtained through us (2002). We also licensed one of our ink-jet printing patents and certain related patent filings to Seiko Epson Corporation (Seiko Epson) in 2006. We continue to work with many product manufacturers that are evaluating our OLED technologies and materials for use in commercial OLED displays and lighting products, including AU Optronics Corporation (AU Optronics) and Sony Corporation (Sony). Broad Portfolio of Intellectual Property. We believe that our extensive portfolio of patents, trade secrets and non- patented know-how provides us with a competitive advantage in the OLED industry. Through our internal development efforts and our relationships with world-class partners such as Princeton, USC, Michigan, Motorola and PPG Industries, we own, exclusively license or have the sole right to sublicense more than 1,000 patents issued and pending worldwide. We also continue to accumulate valuable non-patented technical know-how relating to our OLED technologies and materials. Focus on Licensing Our OLED Technologies. We are focused on licensing our proprietary OLED technologies to product manufacturers on a non-exclusive basis. Our current business model does not involve the direct manufacture or sale of OLED display or lighting products. Instead, we seek license fees and royalties from OLED product manufacturers based on their sales of licensed products. We believe this business model allows us to concentrate on our core strengths of technology development and innovation, while at the same time providing significant operating leverage. We also believe that this approach may reduce potential competitive conflicts between us and our customers. Leading Supplier of UniversalPHOLED Emitter Materials. We are the leading supplier of phosphorescent emitter materials to OLED product manufacturers. PPG Industries currently manufactures our proprietary emitter materials for us, which we then qualify and resell to OLED product manufacturers. We record revenues based on our sales of these materials to OLED product manufacturers. This allows us to maintain close technical and business relationships with the OLED product manufacturers purchasing our proprietary materials, which in turn further supports our technology licensing business. Established U.S. Government Contracts to Fund Research and Development. In 2010, we started or continued working under 17 research and development contracts with U.S. government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of the Army and the U.S. Department of Energy. Under these contracts, the U.S. Government funds a portion of our efforts to develop next-generation OLED technologies for applications such as flexible displays and solid-state lighting. This enables us to supplement our internal research and development budget with additional funding. Experienced Management and Scientific Advisory Team. Our management team has significant experience in developing business models focused on licensing disruptive technologies in high growth industries. In addition, our management team has assembled a Scientific Advisory Board that includes some of the leading researchers in the OLED industry, such as Professor Stephen R. Forrest of Michigan (formerly of Princeton) and Professor Mark E. Thompson of USC. Our Business Strategy Our current business strategy is to both promote and continue to expand our portfolio of OLED technologies and materials for widespread use in OLED displays and lighting products, and to generate revenues by licensing our OLED technologies and selling our proprietary OLED materials. We presently are focused on the following steps to implement our business strategy: Target Leading Product Manufacturers. We are targeting leading manufacturers of flat panel displays and lighting products as potential commercial licensees of our OLED technologies and purchasers of our OLED materials. We also supply our proprietary OLED materials to manufacturers of OLED displays and lighting products for evaluation and for use in product development and for pre-commercial activities, and we provide technical assistance and support to these manufacturers. We concentrate on working closely with OLED product manufacturers because we believe that the successful incorporation of our technologies and materials into commercial products is critical to their widespread adoption. Enhance Our Existing Portfolio of PHOLED Technologies and Materials. We believe that a strong portfolio of proprietary OLED technologies and materials for both displays and lighting products is critical to our success. Consequently, we are continually seeking to expand this portfolio through our internal development efforts, our collaborative relationships with academic and other research partners, and other strategic opportunities. One of our primary goals is to develop new and - 4 - improved phosphorescent OLED technologies and materials with increased efficiencies, enhanced color gamut and extended lifetimes, which are compatible with different manufacturing methods, so that they can be used by various manufacturers in a broad array of OLED display and lighting products. Develop Next-Generation Organic Technologies. We continue to conduct research and development activities relating to next-generation OLED technologies for both displays and lighting products. Our current research and development initiatives involve flexible OLED displays, transparent or top-emitting OLED displays and thin-film encapsulation for OLEDs. We also are funding research by our academic partners on the use of organic thin-film technology in other applications. Our focus on next-generation technologies is designed to enable us to maintain our position as a leading provider of OLED and other organic electronics technologies and materials as new markets emerge. Business and Geographic Markets We derive revenue from the following:  intellectual property and technology licensing;  sales of OLED materials for evaluation, development and commercial manufacturing;   technical assistance and support provided to third parties for commercialization of their OLED products; and technology research and development, including government contract work and collaborative R&D with third parties. Most manufacturers of flat panel displays and lighting products who are or might potentially be interested in our OLED the Asia-Pacific technologies and materials are currently located region. Consequently, we receive a majority of our revenues from external customers that are domiciled outside of the United States, and our business is heavily dependent on our relationships with these customers. In particular, two of our key customers located in the Asia-Pacific region, Samsung SMD and LG Display, collectively accounted for 58% of our consolidated revenues for 2010. Substantially all revenue derived from these customers is denominated in U.S. dollars. foreign countries, particularly in For more information on our revenues, costs and expenses associated with our business, as well as a breakdown of revenues from North America and foreign sources, please see our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included elsewhere in this report. Our Phosphorescent OLED Technologies Phosphorescent OLEDs utilize specialized materials and device structures that allow OLEDs to emit light through a process known as phosphorescence. Traditional fluorescent OLEDs emit light through an inherently less efficient process. Theory and experiment show that phosphorescent OLEDs exhibit device efficiencies up to four times higher than those exhibited by fluorescent OLEDs. Phosphorescence substantially reduces the power requirements of an OLED and is potentially useful for hand-held devices, such as mobile phones, where battery power is often a limiting factor. Phosphorescence is also important for large-area displays such as televisions, where higher device efficiency and lower heat generation may enable longer product lifetimes and increased energy efficiency. We have a strong intellectual property portfolio surrounding our existing PHOLED phosphorescent OLED technologies and materials for both displays and lighting products. We devote a substantial portion of our efforts to developing new and improved proprietary PHOLED materials and device architectures for red, green, blue and white OLED devices. In 2010, we continued our commercial supply relationships with companies such as Samsung SMD and LG Display to use our PHOLED materials for their manufacture of OLED displays. In addition, we continued to work closely with customers evaluating and qualifying our proprietary PHOLED materials for commercial usage in both displays and lighting products, and with other material suppliers to match our PHOLED emitters with their phosphorescent hosts and other OLED materials. - 5 - Our Additional Proprietary OLED Technologies Our research, development and commercialization efforts also encompass a number of other OLED device and manufacturing technologies, including the following: TOLED™ Transparent OLEDs. We have developed a technology for the fabrication of OLEDs that have transparent cathodes. Conventional OLEDs use a reflective metal cathode and a transparent anode. In contrast, TOLEDs use a transparent cathode and either a transparent, reflective or opaque metal anode. TOLEDs utilizing transparent cathodes and reflective metal anodes are known as “top-emission” OLEDs. In a “top-emission” AMOLED, light is emitted without having to travel through much of the device electronics where a significant portion of the usable light is lost. This results in OLED displays having image qualities and lifetimes superior to those of conventional AMOLEDs. TOLEDs utilizing transparent cathodes and transparent anodes may also be useful in novel flat panel display applications requiring semi-transparency or transparency, such as graphical displays in automotive windshields. FOLED™ Flexible OLEDs. We are working on a number of technologies required for the fabrication of OLEDs on flexible substrates. Most OLED and other flat panel displays are built on rigid substrates such as glass. In contrast, FOLEDs are OLEDs built on non-rigid substrates such as plastic or metal foil. This enhances durability and enables conformation to certain shapes or repeated bending or flexing. Eventually, FOLEDs may be capable of being rolled into a cylinder, similar to a window shade. These features create the possibility of new flat panel display product applications that do not exist today, such as a portable, roll-up Internet connectivity and communications device. Manufacturers also may be able to produce FOLEDs using more efficient continuous, or roll-to-roll, processing methods. We currently are conducting research and development on FOLED technologies internally, under several of our U.S. government programs and in connection with the government-sponsored Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University (ASU). OVPD™ Organic Vapor Phase Deposition. The standard approach for manufacturing a small molecule OLED, including a PHOLED, is based on a vacuum thermal evaporation, or VTE, process. With a VTE process, the thin layers of organic material in an OLED are deposited in a high-vacuum environment. An alternate approach for manufacturing a small molecule OLED is based on OVPD. In contrast to the VTE process, the OVPD process utilizes a carrier gas, such as nitrogen, in a hot walled reactor in a low pressure environment to deposit the layers of organic material in an OLED. The OVPD process may offer advantages over the VTE process through more efficient materials utilization and enhanced deposition control. We have partnered with Aixtron AG, a leading manufacturer of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition equipment, to develop and qualify equipment for the fabrication of OLED displays utilizing the OVPD process. UniversalP2OLED™ Printable Phosphorescent OLEDs. OLEDs can be manufactured using other processes as well. Another method involves preparing solutions of the various organic materials in an OLED that can be solution-processed by techniques such as spin coating or inkjet printing onto the substrate. Solution-processing methods, and inkjet printing in particular, have the potential to be lower cost approaches to OLED manufacturing and scalable to large area displays. For several years, we worked on P2OLEDs under joint development agreements with Seiko Epson. We are continuing to develop novel P2OLED materials and device architectures for evaluation by OLED manufacturers, and to collaborate with other material manufacturers who are working on host and other OLED materials to match our P2OLED emitters. OVJP™ Organic Vapor Jet Printing. Our OVJP technology is another direct printing method for the manufacture of OLEDs. As a direct printing technique, OVJP technology has the potential to offer high deposition rates for any size or shaped OLED. In addition, OVJP technology avoids the OLED material wastage associated with use of a shadow mask (i.e., the waste of material that deposits on the shadow mask itself when fabricating an OLED). By comparison to inkjet printing, an OVJP process does not use solvents and therefore the OLED materials utilized are not limited by their viscosity or solvent solubility. We have installed a prototype OVJP tool at our Ewing, New Jersey facility and we continue to collaborate on OVJP technology development with Professor Forrest of Michigan. Our Strategic Relationships with Product Manufacturers We have established early-stage evaluation programs, development and pre-commercial programs, and commercial arrangements with more than 25 manufacturers or potential manufacturers of OLED display and lighting products. Many of these relationships are directed towards tailoring our proprietary OLED technologies and materials for use by individual manufacturers. Our ultimate objective is to license our OLED technologies and sell our OLED materials to these manufacturers for their commercial production of OLED products. Our publicly announced relationships with product manufacturers include the following: - 6 - Samsung SMD. We have been working with Samsung SMD and providing our next generation PHOLED materials to Samsung SMD for evaluation since 2001. In 2005, we entered into a patent license agreement with Samsung SMD, the term of which originally ran through June 30, 2010, and which has since been extended through March 31, 2011. Under this agreement, we granted Samsung SMD license rights to make and sell AMOLED displays on glass. We also supply our proprietary PHOLED materials to Samsung SMD for its use in manufacturing these AMOLED display products.

We have been supporting Sony in its development of AMOLED display products for many years. We continue to supply our proprietary PHOLED materials to Sony for evaluation. Chimei Innolux. In 2007, we entered into an agreement to supply our proprietary PHOLED materials and technologies to Chi Mei EL Corporation (CMEL) for use in its manufacture of commercial AMOLED display products. The term of that agreement continued through the end of 2009, at which time CMEL became part of Chimei Innolux Corporation (CMI). We continue to supply our proprietary PHOLED materials to CMI in support of their OLED development efforts. Tohoku Pioneer. We have been supplying our proprietary PHOLED materials to Tohoku Pioneer, a subsidiary of Pioneer Corporation (Pioneer), for the commercial production of passive matrix OLED (PMOLED) display products since 2003. In 2005, we received the grand prize of the 10th annual Advanced Display of the Year award, in the Display Materials and Components category, at FINETECH for the performance of our red emitter combined with a Nippon Steel Chemical Company (NSCC) red host, as built in a Pioneer OLED display. Moser Baer Technologies. In February 2011, we signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Moser Baer for technology licensing, material supply and technology assistance to support Moser Baer’s initiatives in white OLED lighting. This follows a program that we announced in 2009 under which we and Moser Baer as our subcontractor were awarded $4,000,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to design and build the first white OLED lighting pilot manufacturing facility in the United States. Konica Minolta. We have been supplying our proprietary PHOLED materials to Konica Minolta for evaluation and we have been supporting Konica Minolta in its efforts to develop OLED lighting products for several years. In 2008, we entered into a technology license agreement with Konica Minolta for its manufacture and sale of OLED lighting products that utilize our phosphorescent and other OLED technologies. Showa Denko. In 2009, we entered into an agreement with Showa Denko under which we granted Showa Denko license rights to make and sell OLED lighting products manufactured by solution processing methods. LG Chem. We have been working with and supplying our proprietary PHOLED materials for evaluation to LG Chem, Ltd. (LG Chem) for several years. LG Chem has publicly exhibited OLED lighting panels that utilize our proprietary PHOLED materials and technology. Panasonic Electric Works. We have been working with and supplying our proprietary PHOLED materials for evaluation to Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. (PEW) for several years. We have also supplied our PHOLED materials to - 7 - PEW for use in the Japanese National Project for OLEDs. PEW has publicly exhibited OLED lighting panels that utilize our proprietary PHOLED materials and technology. NEC Lighting. We have been supplying our proprietary PHOLED materials to NEC Lighting, Ltd. (NEC Lighting) for the manufacture of sample OLED lighting products. NEC Lighting has publicly exhibited OLED lighting panels that utilize our proprietary PHOLED materials and technology. Seiko Epson. In 2004, we began conducting joint development work with Seiko Epson on the application of our proprietary PHOLED technologies and materials to ink-jet printing processes used by Seiko Epson. That arrangement ended in 2009; however, we are continuing to supply our proprietary PHOLED materials to Seiko Epson for evaluation. In addition, we licensed one of our ink-jet printing patents and certain related patent filings to Seiko Epson in 2006. DuPont Displays. In 2005, we completed work under an agreement with DuPont Displays for the development of novel phosphorescent materials and device structures for solution-processed OLEDs. In 2002, we entered into a cross license agreement with DuPont Displays for its manufacture of solution-processed OLED display products using proprietary OLED materials obtained through us. As of December 31, 2010, we had not received any royalties from DuPont under that agreement. Our OLED Materials Supply Business In support of our OLED licensing business, we supply our proprietary UniversalPHOLED materials to display manufacturers and others. We qualify our materials in OLED devices before shipment in order to ensure that they meet required specifications. We believe that our inventory-carrying practices, along with the terms under which we sell our OLED materials (including payment terms) are typical for the markets in which we operate. In 2009, our OLED materials business received certification in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems standards and guidelines. PPG Industries We have maintained a close working relationship with PPG Industries since 2000. Our current agreement with PPG Industries went into effect in 2006. Under that agreement, PPG Industries is responsible, under our direction, for manufacturing scale-up of our proprietary OLED materials, and for supplying us with those materials for research and development, and for resale to our customers, both for their evaluation and for use in commercial OLED products. Through our collaboration with PPG Industries, key raw materials are sourced from multiple suppliers to ensure that we are able to meet the needs of our customers on a timely basis. The term of our agreement with PPG Industries has been extended through December 31, 2012. We are currently in the process of negotiating a further extension of that agreement. Our OLED Material Customers Throughout 2010, we continued supplying our proprietary UniversalPHOLED materials to Samsung SMD for use in its commercial AMOLED display products and for its development efforts. Samsung SMD is currently the largest manufacturer of AMOLED displays for handset and other personal electronic devices. Samsung SMD’s customers for these products have included many well-known consumer electronics companies throughout the world. In 2010, we also supplied our proprietary UniversalPHOLED materials to LG Display for use in its commercial AMOLED display products, and to Tohoku Pioneer for use in its commercial PMOLED display products. During the year, we supplied our proprietary OLED materials to these and various other product manufacturers for evaluation and for purposes of development, manufacturing qualification and product testing. Collaborations with Other OLED Material Manufacturers We continued our non-exclusive collaborative relationships with other manufacturers of OLED materials during 2010, including NSCC, Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (Idemitsu Kosan), LG Chem and SFC Co., Ltd. All of these relationships are focused on matching our proprietary PHOLED emitters with the host and other OLED materials of these companies. We believe that collaborative relationships such as these are important for ensuring success of the OLED industry and broader adoption of our PHOLED and other OLED technologies. - 8 - Research and Development Our research and development activities are focused on the advancement of our OLED technologies and materials for displays, lighting and other applications. We conduct this research and development both internally and through various relationships with our commercial business partners and academic institutions. In the years 2010, 2009 and 2008, we incurred expenses of $21,695,139, $21,122,156 and $19,220,653, respectively, on both internal and third-party sponsored research and development activities with respect to our various OLED technologies and materials. Internal Development Efforts We conduct a substantial portion of our OLED development activities at our state-of-the-art development and testing facility in Ewing, New Jersey. At this 40,200 square-foot facility, we perform technology development, including device and process optimization, prototype fabrication, manufacturing scale-up studies, process and product testing, characterization and reliability studies, and technology transfer with our business partners. Our Ewing facility houses six OLED deposition systems, including a full-color flexible OLED system, a system for fabricating solution-processible OLEDs, an OVPD organic vapor phase deposition system and an OVJP organic vapor jet printing system. In addition, the facility contains equipment for substrate patterning, organic material deposition, display packaging, module assembly and extensive testing in Class 100 and 100,000 clean rooms and opto-electronic test laboratories. Our facility also includes state-of-the-art synthetic chemistry laboratories in which we conduct OLED materials research and make small quantities of new materials that we then test in OLED devices. As of December 31, 2010, we employed a team of 57 research scientists, engineers and laboratory technicians at our Ewing facility. This team includes chemists, physicists, engineers with electrical, chemical and mechanical backgrounds, and highly-trained experimentalists. University Sponsored Research We have long-standing relationships with Princeton and USC, dating back to 1994, for the conduct of research relating to our OLED and other organic thin-film technologies and materials for applications such as displays and lighting. This research has been performed at Princeton under the direction of Professor Forrest and at USC under the direction of Professor Thompson. In 2006, Professor Forrest transferred to Michigan, where we continue to fund his research. We funded research at Princeton under a research agreement executed in 1997 (the 1997 Research Agreement). The 1997 Research Agreement was allowed to expire in 2007, after Professor Forrest had transferred to Michigan. We have exclusive license rights to all OLED and other thin-film organic electronic patents (other than for organic photovoltaic solar cells) arising out of research conducted under that agreement. In connection with Professor Forrest’s transfer to Michigan, in 2006 we entered into a new sponsored research agreement with USC under which we are funding organic electronics research being conducted by Drs. Forrest and Thompson (the 2006 Research Agreement). Work by Professor Forrest is being funded through a subcontract between USC and Michigan. As with the 1997 Research Agreement, we have exclusive license rights to all OLED and thin-film organic electronic patents (other than for organic photovoltaic solar cells) arising out of this research. The original three-year term of the 2006 Research Agreement ran through April 2009. During that three-year period, we paid the universities $2,155,570 for research conducted under the agreement. In May 2009, we extended the term of the agreement for an additional four years, through April 2013. As of December 31, 2010, we are obligated to reimburse the universities for up to $5.1 million in actual costs to be incurred for research conducted under the remaining term of the agreement. In 2005, we entered into a separate sponsored research agreement with Princeton to fund research under the direction of Professor Sigurd Wagner on thin-film encapsulation and fabrication of OLED devices. This agreement expired at the end of 2010; however, we are in the process of extending it through December 2011. Like our other relationships with Princeton, we have exclusive license rights to all patents arising out of the research. We entered into a sponsored research agreement with the Yuen Tjing Ling Industrial Research Institute of National Taiwan University in 2004. Under that agreement, we funded a research program under the direction of Professor Ken-Tsung - 9 - Wong relating to new OLED materials. We have exclusive rights to all intellectual property developed under that program. The program is currently being extended through February 2012. We entered into a contract research agreement with the Chitose Institute of Science and Technology of Japan (CIST) in 2004. Under that agreement, we funded a research program headed by Professor Chihaya Adachi relating to high- efficiency OLED materials and devices. We were granted exclusive rights to all intellectual property developed under this program. Our relationship with CIST ended in 2006 when Professor Adachi transferred to Kyushu University. However, we have continued our relationship with Professor Adachi under a separate consulting arrangement that continues through March 2012. In 2006 and 2007, we entered into one-year research agreements with Kyung Hee University to sponsor research programs on flexible, amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane technology. The programs were directed by Professor Jin Jang. In 2008 and 2009, we entered into contract research agreements with Silicon Display Technology, Ltd. (SDT), a company founded by Professor Jang. We continue to maintain a good working relationship with Professor Jang. Aixtron In 2000, we entered into a development and license agreement with Aixtron AG of Aachen, Germany to develop and commercialize equipment used in the manufacture of OLEDs using the OVPD process. Under this agreement, we granted Aixtron an exclusive license to produce and sell its equipment for the manufacture of OLEDs and other devices using our proprietary OVPD process. Aixtron is required to pay us royalties on its sales of this equipment. Purchasers of the equipment also must obtain rights to use our proprietary OVPD process to manufacture OLEDs and other devices using the equipment, which they may do through us or Aixtron. If these rights are granted through Aixtron, Aixtron is required to make additional payments to us under our agreement. Aixtron has reported to us the delivery of six OVPD systems since 2002. These include two second-generation systems, one of which was sold to the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems in Dresden, Germany in 2007, and the other of which was sold to RiTdisplay Corporation of Taiwan in 2003. We record royalty income from Aixtron’s sales of these various systems in the quarters in which Aixtron notifies us of the sale and the related royalties are due. U.S. Government-Funded Research We have entered into several U.S. government contracts and subcontracts to fund a portion of our efforts to develop next-generation OLED technologies. These include, among others, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I program contracts for the demonstration of technical merit and feasibility, SBIR Phase II program contracts for continued research and development and the fabrication of prototypes, and SBIR Phase III program contracts that are oriented towards commercialization of SBIR research or technology. On contracts for which we are the prime contractor, we subcontract portions of the work to various entities and institutions, including Princeton, USC, Michigan, L-3 Communications Corporation — Display Systems (L-3DS), Trident Systems, Inc. (Trident), Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (Armstrong), Acuity Brands, Inc. (Acuity) and LG Display. All of our government contracts and subcontracts are subject to termination at the election of the contracting governmental agency. Our government-funded programs are concentrated primarily in two areas: flexible OLEDs and OLEDs for lighting. We receive support for our work on flexible OLED technology through various U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) agencies, including the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), as well as the National Science Foundation (NSF). The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports our work on white OLEDs for lighting, including through its Solid State Lighting (SSL) initiative. Several of our key U.S. government program initiatives in 2010 were as follows: Flexible OLED Display Prototypes. We continued our work during 2010 to develop and deliver next-generation prototype AMOLED displays on flexible metal foil substrates. These include, for example, prototype wrist-mounted communications devices for the U.S. Army and prototype displays for use by Air Force pilots in tactical cockpit settings. The flexible OLED displays utilize amorphous silicon TFT backplanes developed and fabricated by LG Display. L-3DS and Trident were responsible for designing, building and ruggedizing the prototype devices into which these displays were incorporated. - 10 - Technology Development for OLED Lighting. During 2010, we continued working to develop technical approaches for using our proprietary PHOLED and other OLED technologies for high-efficiency white lighting applications. We received funding from the DOE to continue our development of a ceiling-based white OLED lighting system in conjunction with Armstrong, and to demonstrate a thin, highly-efficient white OLED lighting concept for under-cabinet applications. In addition, we received funding from the DOE to scale our PHOLED technology for large-area usage and to demonstrate the fabrication of OLED light sources with enhanced outcoupling designs. In recognition for this work, the DOE again honored us at its annual SSL workshop entitled “Transformations in Lighting” in February 2010. Novel Encapsulation Technology for OLEDs. Using technology pioneered at Princeton, we have demonstrated the feasibility of a novel encapsulation process based on plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Flexible encapsulation technology is an important element on the development roadmap for commercialization of flexible OLED displays, and may be a cost-effective solution for high-volume OLED lighting products. In 2010, we received funding from ARL and NSF to continue working with Princeton to develop this technology for application to flexible OLED displays, and we applied this technology to our prototype flexible OLED devices. We also received continued funding from the DOE to apply our encapsulation technology to white OLED devices. U.S. Based Manufacturing of OLEDs for Lighting. In April 2010, we and Moser Baer as our subcontractor were awarded $4,000,000 for a two-year program from the DOE for the creation of a U.S. PHOLED lighting panel manufacturing facility. Under the program, we will demonstrate the scalability of our proprietary UniversalPHOLED technology and materials for the manufacture of white OLED lighting panels that meet commercial lighting targets. Moser Baer will design and build the U.S.-based pilot facility. We will provide technical support to Moser Baer for this work. Prototype Commercial OLED Lighting System. In November 2010, we announced a two-year $2,000,000 DOE SBIR Phase III contract with Acuity to demonstrate a prototype PHOLED lighting system for commercial application. Under this program, Acuity will design and fabricate OLED lighting prototypes that can be tuned across a range of color temperatures by using our proprietary architecture and high-efficiency PHOLED panels. These prototypes are targeted for high-end commercial spaces, including office, retail and health-care buildings, to take advantage of several key attributes of OLEDs – including a thin, sleek form factor and high quality of light. The Army Flexible Display Center We have been a Principal Member of The Army Flexible Display Center (FDC) since its establishment in 2004. The FDC is being supported through a $51.5 million cooperative agreement between Arizona State University and ARL. This agreement was recently renewed to provide an additional $50 million in funding to the FDC through 2014. The goal of the FDC is to develop flexible, low power, light-weight, information displays for future usage by soldiers and for other military and commercial applications. We believe our involvement with the FDC enhances our flexible OLED display technology development efforts. In 2010, we continued to work with the FDC under an ARL-sponsored program on flexible AMOLED displays using our proprietary PHOLED technology and materials and the FDC’s proprietary bond-debond manufacturing technology. Dr. Michael Hack, our Vice President of Strategic Product Development and the General Manager of our OLED Lighting and Custom Displays Business, is a member of the Governing Board of the FDC. The FlexTech Alliance We are a member of the FlexTech Alliance, Inc. (formerly the United States Display Consortium), an organization devoted to fostering the growth, profitability and success of the electronic display and the flexible, printed electronics supply chain. The role of the FlexTech Alliance is to offer expanded collaboration between and among industry, academia, government and research organizations for advancing displays and flexible, printed electronics from R&D to commercialization. The FlexTech Alliance has approximately 95 members, including companies, universities and R&D organizations. OLED Association We are a charter member of the newly-established OLED Association (OLED-A). OLED-A is a trade association whose mission involves serving as an OLED information resource, driving OLED technology development, and promoting interest in OLED products. We are one of nine members of OLED-A, and we actively participate on its marketing and - 11 - technology committees. Steven V. Abramson, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is a member of the Board of Directors of OLED-A, and Janice K. Mahon, our Vice President of Technology Commercialization and General Manager of our Material Supply Business, serves as chairperson of the Marketing Committee of OLED-A. Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance We joined the Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance (NGLIA) in 2009. NGLIA was formed in 2003 to foster industry-government partnership to accelerate the technical foundation, and ultimate commercialization, of solid state lighting systems. NGLIA was designated in 2005 as the “industry partner” by DOE for its SSL program. The SSL program is being undertaken to research, develop and conduct demonstration activities on advanced solid state white lighting technologies based on LEDs and OLEDs. We are one of 17 members of NGLIA. Intellectual Property Along with our personnel, our primary and most fundamental assets are patents and other intellectual property. This includes numerous U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications that we own, exclusively license or have the sole right to sublicense. It also includes a substantial body of non-patented technical know-how that we have accumulated over time. Our Patents Our research and development activities, conducted both internally and through collaborative programs with our partners, have resulted in the filing of a substantial number of patent applications relating to our OLED technologies and materials. As of December 31, 2010, we owned, through assignment to us alone or jointly with others, 100 pending U.S. applications (active U.S. cases and international applications designated in the U.S.) and 66 U.S. patents, together with counterparts filed in various foreign countries. These patents will start expiring in the U.S. in 2020. Patents We License from Princeton, USC and Michigan We exclusively license the bulk of our patent rights, including our key PHOLED technology patents, under a license agreement we executed with Princeton and USC in 1997 (the 1997 License Agreement). In 2006, based on Professor Forrest’s transfer to Michigan that year, Michigan was added as a party to this agreement. As of December 31, 2010, the patent rights we license from these universities included 72 pending U.S. applications (active U.S. cases and international applications designated in the U.S.) and 162 U.S. patents, together with counterparts filed in various foreign countries. The earliest of these patents will expire in the U.S. in 2014, while our key PHOLED technology patents licensed from these universities will start expiring in the U.S. in 2017. Under the 1997 License Agreement, Princeton, USC and Michigan granted us worldwide, exclusive license rights to specified patents and patent applications relating to OLED technologies and materials (including our PHOLED technology and materials). Our license rights also extend to any patent rights arising out of the research conducted by Princeton, USC or Michigan under our various research agreements with these entities. We are free to sublicense to third parties all or any portion of our patent rights under the 1997 License Agreement. The term of the 1997 License Agreement continues for the lifetime of the licensed patents, though it is subject to termination for an uncured material breach or default by us, or if we become bankrupt or insolvent. Princeton is primarily responsible for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent rights licensed to us under the 1997 License Agreement pursuant to an interinstitutional agreement between Princeton, USC and Michigan. However, we manage this process and have the right to instruct patent counsel on specific matters to be covered in any patent applications filed by Princeton. We are required to bear all costs associated with the filing, prosecution and maintenance of these patent rights. We are required under the 1997 License Agreement to pay Princeton royalties for licensed products sold by us or our sublicensees. These royalties amount to 3% of the net sales price for licensed products sold by us and 3% of the revenues we receive for licensed products sold by our sublicensees. These royalty rates are subject to renegotiation for products not reasonably conceivable as arising out of the research agreements if Princeton reasonably determines that the royalty rates payable with respect to these products are not fair and competitive. Princeton shares portions of these royalties with USC and Michigan under their interinstitutional agreement. - 12 - We have a minimum royalty obligation of $100,000 per year during the term of the 1997 License Agreement. Royalties under the 1997 License Agreement with Princeton were $555,546 for 2010. We also are required under the 1997 License Agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to bring the licensed OLED technology to market. However, this requirement is deemed satisfied if we invest a minimum of $800,000 per year in research, development, commercialization or patenting efforts respecting the patent rights licensed to us under the 1997 License Agreement. Patents We Acquired from Motorola In 2000, we entered into a license agreement with Motorola whereby Motorola granted us perpetual license rights to what are now 74 issued U.S. patents relating to Motorola’s OLED technologies, together with foreign counterparts in various countries. These patents will start expiring in the U.S. in 2012. We were required under our license agreement with Motorola to pay Motorola annual royalties on gross revenues received by us on account of our sales of OLED products or components, or from our OLED technology licensees, whether or not these revenues relate specifically to inventions claimed in the patent rights licensed from Motorola. On March 9, 2011, we purchased these patents from Motorola, including all existing and future claims and causes of action for any infringement of the patents. This effectively terminated our license agreement with Motorola, including any obligation to make royalty payments to Motorola. In consideration for Motorola assigning and transferring the patents to us, we made a one-time cash payment to Motorola, and we granted Motorola a royalty-free, non-exclusive and non-sublicensable license under the patents for use by Motorola and its affiliates in their respective businesses. Intellectual Property Developed under Our Government Contracts We and our subcontractors have developed and may continue to develop patentable OLED technology inventions under our various U.S. government contracts and subcontracts. Under these arrangements, we or our subcontractors generally can elect to take title to any patents on these inventions, and to control the manner in which these patents are licensed to third parties. However, the U.S. government reserves rights to these inventions and associated technical data that could restrict our ability to market them to the government for military and other applications, or to third parties for commercial applications. In addition, if the U.S. government determines that we or our subcontractors have not taken effective steps to achieve practical application of these inventions in any field of use in a reasonable time, the government may require that we or our subcontractors license these inventions to third parties in that field of use. Non-patented Technical Know-How We have accumulated, and continue to accumulate, a substantial amount of non-patented technical know-how relating to OLED technologies and materials. Where practicable, we share portions of this information with display manufacturers and other business partners on a confidential basis. We also employ various methods to protect this information from unauthorized use or disclosure, although no such methods can afford complete protection. Moreover, because we derive some of this information and know-how from academic institutions such as Princeton, USC and Michigan, there is an increased potential for public disclosure. Competition The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We compete against alternative flat panel display technologies, in particular LCDs, as well as other OLED technologies. We also compete in the lighting market against incumbent technologies, such as incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps, and emerging technologies, such as inorganic LEDs. Flat Panel Display Industry Competitors Numerous domestic and foreign companies have developed or are developing LCD, plasma and other flat panel display technologies that compete with our OLED display technologies. We believe that OLED display technologies ultimately can compete with LCDs and other display technologies for many product applications on the basis of lower power consumption, better contrast ratios, faster video rates and lower manufacturing cost. However, other companies may succeed in continuing to improve these competing display technologies, or in developing new display technologies, that are superior - 13 - to OLED display technologies in various respects. We cannot predict the timing or extent to which such improvements or developments may occur. Lighting Industry Competitors Traditional incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps are well-entrenched products in the lighting industry. In addition, compact fluorescent lamps and solid-state LEDs have recently been introduced into the market and would compete with OLED lighting products. Having attributes different than fluorescent lamps and LEDs, OLEDs may compete directly with these products for certain lighting applications. However, manufacturers of LEDs and compact fluorescent lamps may succeed in more broadly adapting their products to various lighting applications, or others may develop competing solid-state lighting technologies that are superior to OLEDs. Again, we cannot predict whether or when this might occur. OLED Technology and Materials Competitors Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak) developed and patented the original fluorescent OLED technology in 1987. Cambridge Display Technology, Ltd. (CDT), which was acquired by Sumitomo Chemical Company (Sumitomo) in 2007, developed and patented polymer OLED technology in 1989. Display and lighting manufacturers, including customers of ours, are engaged in their own OLED research, development and commercialization activities, and have developed and may continue to develop proprietary OLED technologies that are necessary or useful for commercial OLED devices. In addition, other material manufacturers, such as Sumitomo, Idemitsu Kosan, Merck KGaA and BASF Corporation, are selling or sampling competing OLED materials to customers, including companies to which we sell our proprietary PHOLED materials. Our existing business relationships with Samsung SMD and other product manufacturers suggest that our OLED technologies and materials, particularly our PHOLED technologies and materials, may achieve a significant level of market penetration in the flat panel display and lighting industries. However, others may succeed in developing new OLED technologies and materials that are required in addition to ours, or that may be utilized in place of ours. We cannot be sure of the extent to which product manufacturers will adopt and continue to utilize our OLED technologies and materials for the production of commercial flat panel displays and lighting products. Employees As of December 31, 2010, we had 84 full-time employees and two part-time employees, none of whom are unionized. We believe that relations with our employees are good. Our Company History Our corporation was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1985. Our business was commenced in 1994 by a company then known as Universal Display Corporation, which had been incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey. In 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours merged into this New Jersey corporation. The surviving corporation in this merger became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and changed its name to UDC, Inc. Simultaneously with the consummation of this merger, we changed our name to Universal Display Corporation. UDC, Inc. now functions as an operating subsidiary of ours and has overlapping officers and directors. We have also formed other wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Universal Display Corporation Hong Kong, Ltd. (2008), Universal Display Corporation Korea, Inc. (2010) and Universal Display Corporation Japan, K.K. (2011). Our Compliance with Environmental Protection Laws We are not aware of any material effects that compliance with Federal, State or local environmental protection laws or regulations will have on our business. We have not incurred substantial costs to comply with any environmental protection laws or regulations, and we do not anticipate having to do so in the foreseeable future. Our Internet Site Our Internet address is www.universaldisplay.com. We make available through our Internet website, free of charge, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably - 14 - practicable after we file such material with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In addition, we have made available on our Internet website under the heading “Corporate Governance” the charter for the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, as well as our Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Employees, and our Code of Conduct for Directors. We intend to make available on our website any future amendments or waivers to our Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Employees, and our Code of Conduct for Directors within four business days after any such amendments or waivers. The information on our Internet site is not part of this report. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties when reading this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following factors, as well as other factors affecting our operating results and financial condition, could cause our actual future results and financial condition to differ materially from those projected. If our OLED technologies and materials are not feasible for broad-based product applications, we may never generate revenues sufficient to support ongoing operations. Our main business strategy is to license our OLED technologies and sell our OLED materials to manufacturers for incorporation into the flat panel display and lighting products that they sell. Consequently, our success depends on the ability and willingness of these manufacturers to develop, manufacture and sell commercial products integrating our technologies and materials. Before product manufacturers will agree to utilize our OLED technologies and materials for wide-scale commercial production, they will likely require us to demonstrate to their satisfaction that our OLED technologies and materials are feasible for broad-based product applications. This, in turn, may require additional advances in our technologies and materials, as well as those of others, for applications in a number of areas, including, without limitation, advances with respect to the development of:  OLED materials with improved lifetimes, efficiencies and color coordinates for full-color OLED displays and general lighting products;  more robust OLED materials for use in more demanding large-scale manufacturing environments; and  scalable and cost-effective methods and technologies for the fabrication of OLED products. We cannot be certain that these advances will ever occur, and hence our OLED technologies and materials may never be feasible for broad-based product applications. Even if our OLED technologies are technically feasible, they may not be adopted by product manufacturers. The potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities targeted by us are uncertain at this time. Market acceptance of our OLED technologies will depend, in part, upon these technologies providing benefits comparable or superior to current display and lighting technologies at an advantageous cost to manufacturers, and the adoption of products incorporating these technologies by consumers. Many potential licensees of our OLED technologies manufacture flat panel displays and lighting products utilizing competing technologies, and may, therefore, be reluctant to redesign their products or manufacturing processes to incorporate our OLED technologies. During the entire product development process for a new product, we face the risk that our technology will fail to meet the manufacturer’s technical, performance or cost requirements or will be replaced by a competing product or alternative technology. For example, we are aware that some of our licensees and prospective licensees have entered into arrangements with our competitors regarding the development of competing technologies. Even if we offer technologies that are satisfactory to a product manufacturer, the manufacturer may choose to delay or terminate its product development efforts for reasons unrelated to our technologies. Mass production of OLED products will require the availability of suitable manufacturing equipment, components and materials, many of which are available only from a limited number of suppliers. In addition, there may be a number of other technologies that manufacturers need to utilize to be used in conjunction with our OLED technologies in order to bring - 15 - OLED products containing them to the market. Thus, even if our OLED technologies are a viable alternative to competing approaches, if product manufacturers are unable to obtain access to this equipment and these components, materials and other technologies, they may not utilize our OLED technologies. There are numerous potential alternatives to OLEDs, which may limit our ability to commercialize our OLED technologies and materials. The flat panel display market is currently, and will likely continue to be for some time, dominated by displays based on LCD technology. Numerous companies are making substantial investments in, and conducting research to improve characteristics of, LCDs. Plasma and other competing flat panel display technologies have been, or are being, developed. A similar situation exists in the solid-state lighting market, which is currently dominated by LED products. Advances in any of these various technologies may overcome their current limitations and permit them to become the leading technologies in their field, either of which could limit the potential market for products utilizing our OLED technologies and materials. This, in turn, would cause product manufacturers to avoid entering into commercial relationships with us, or to terminate or not renew their existing relationships with us. Other OLED technologies may be more successful or cost-effective than ours, which may limit the commercial adoption of our OLED technologies and materials. Our competitors have developed OLED technologies that differ from or compete with our OLED technologies. In particular, competing fluorescent OLED technology, which entered the marketplace prior to ours, may become a viable alternative to our phosphorescent OLED technology. Moreover, our competitors may succeed in developing new OLED technologies that are more cost-effective or have fewer limitations than our OLED technologies. If our OLED technologies, and particularly our phosphorescent OLED technology, are unable to capture a substantial portion of the OLED product market, our business strategy may fail. Many of our competitors have greater resources, which may make it difficult for us to compete successfully against them. The flat panel display and solid-state lighting industries are characterized by intense competition. Many of our competitors have better name recognition and greater financial, technical, marketing, personnel and research capabilities than us. Because of these differences, we may never be able to compete successfully in these markets. If we fail to make advances in our OLED research and development activities, we might not succeed in commercializing our OLED technologies and materials. Further advances in our OLED technologies and materials depend, in part, on the success of the research and development work we conduct, both alone and with our research partners. We cannot be certain that this work will yield additional advances in the research and development of these technologies and materials. Our research and development efforts remain subject to all of the risks associated with the development of new products based on emerging and innovative technologies, including, without limitation, unanticipated technical or other problems and the possible insufficiency of funds for completing development of these products. Technical problems may result in delays and cause us to incur additional expenses that would increase our losses. If we cannot complete research and development of our OLED technologies and materials successfully, or if we experience delays in completing research and development of our OLED technologies and materials for use in potential commercial applications, particularly after incurring significant expenditures, our business may fail. The consumer electronics industry experiences significant downturns from time to time, any of which may adversely affect the demand for and pricing of our OLED technologies and materials. Because we do not sell any products to consumers, our success depends upon the ability and continuing willingness of our licensees to manufacture and sell products utilizing our technologies and materials, and the widespread acceptance of those products in the marketplace. Any slowdown in the demand for our licensees’ products would adversely affect our royalty revenues and thus our business. The markets for flat panel displays and lighting products are highly competitive. Success in the market for end-user products that may integrate our OLED technologies and materials also depends on factors - 16 - beyond the control of our licensees and us, including the cyclical and seasonal nature of the end-user markets that our licensees serve, as well as industry and general economic conditions. The markets that we hope to penetrate have experienced significant periodic downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by lower product demand, production overcapacity and erosion of average selling prices. Our business strategy is dependent on manufacturers building and selling products that incorporate our OLED technologies and materials. Industry-wide fluctuations and downturns in the demand for flat panel displays and solid-state lighting products could cause significant harm to our business. Any downturn in U.S. or global economic conditions may have a significant adverse effect on our business. There have been significant and sustained economic downturns in the U.S. and globally in recent years. This has placed pressure on consumer demand, and the resulting impact on consumer spending has had a material adverse effect on the demand for consumer electronic products. Similar downturns in the future may have a significant adverse effect on one or more of our licensees as an enterprise, which could result in those licensees reducing their efforts to commercialize products that incorporate our OLED technologies and materials. Consumer demand and the condition of the flat panel display and lighting industries may also be impacted by other external factors such as war, terrorism, geopolitical uncertainties and other business interruptions. The impact of these external factors is difficult to predict, and one or more of these factors could adversely impact the demand for our licensees’ products, and thus our business. If we cannot form and maintain lasting business relationships with OLED product manufacturers, our business strategy will fail. Our business strategy ultimately depends upon our development and maintenance of commercial licensing and material supply relationships with high-volume manufacturers of OLED products. We have entered into only a limited number of such relationships. Our other relationships with product manufacturers currently are limited to technology development and the evaluation of our OLED technologies and materials for possible use in commercial products. Some or all of these relationships may not succeed or, even if they are successful, may not result in the product manufacturers entering into commercial licensing and material supply relationships with us. Most of our agreements with product manufacturers last for only limited periods of time, such that our relationships with these manufacturers will expire unless they continually are renewed. For example, our commercial agreement with Samsung SMD is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011, and our commercial agreement with LG Display is currently scheduled to expire at the end of June 2011. These and other product manufacturers may not agree to renew their relationships with us on a continuing basis. In addition, we regularly continue working with product manufacturers after our existing agreements with them have expired while we are attempting to negotiate contract extensions or new agreements with them. Should our relationships with the various product manufacturers not continue or be renewed, or if we are not able to identify other product manufacturers and enter into contracts with them, our business would suffer. Our ability to enter into additional commercial licensing and material supply relationships, or to maintain our existing technology development and evaluation relationships, may require us to make financial or other commitments. We might not be able, for financial or other reasons, to enter into or continue these relationships on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to do so may cause our business strategy to fail. We or our licensees may incur substantial costs or lose important rights as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to our patent and other intellectual property rights, or with respect to our OLED materials business. There are a number of other companies and organizations that have been issued patents and are filing patent applications relating to OLED technologies and materials, including, without limitation, Kodak (substantially all of whose OLED assets were sold to a group of LG companies in 2009), CDT (acquired by Sumitomo in 2007), Fuji Film Co., Ltd., Canon, Inc., Semiconductor Energy Laboratories Co., Idemitsu Kosan and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. As a result, there may be issued patents or pending patent applications of third parties that would be infringed by the use of our OLED technologies or materials, thus subjecting our licensees to possible suits for patent infringement in the future. Such lawsuits could result in our licensees being liable for damages or require our licensees to obtain additional licenses that could increase the cost of their products. This, in turn, could have an adverse affect on our licensees’ sales and thus our royalties, or cause our licensees to seek to renegotiate our royalty rates. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify customers purchasing our - 17 - OLED materials for commercial usage against certain claims of patent infringement by third parties, as a result of which we may incur substantial legal costs in connection with defending these customers from such claims. Our licensees may also seek to avoid paying future royalties by attempting to have our patents declared invalid and unenforceable by a court. Our licensees may be more likely to file such declaratory actions in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in MedImmune, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc., 549 U.S. 118 (2007), in which the Court found that a licensee need not refuse to pay royalties and commit material breach of the license agreement before bringing an action to declare a licensed patent invalid and unenforceable. In addition, we may be required from time-to-time to assert our intellectual property rights by instituting legal proceedings against others. We cannot be assured that we will be successful in enforcing our patents in any lawsuits we may commence. Defendants in any litigation we may commence to enforce our patents may attempt to establish that our patents are invalid or are unenforceable. Thus, any patent litigation we commence could lead to a determination that one or more of our patents are invalid or unenforceable. A case to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011 will focus on the burden of proof required to invalidate an issued patent, and may make defending such invalidity challenges against our patents more difficult. At issue in the case, Microsoft v. i4i Limited Partnership, Docket No. 10-290 (Supreme Court 2011), is whether a preponderance of the evidence standard should replace the clear and convincing standard for invalidating a patent, especially when a court is considering evidence of invalidity that was not considered by the U.S.P.T.O. during prosecution. If a third party succeeds in invalidating one or more of our patents, that party and others could compete more effectively against us. Our ability to derive licensing revenues from products or technologies covered by these patents would also be adversely affected. Whether our licensees are defending the assertion of third-party intellectual property rights against their businesses arising as a result of the use of our technology, or we are asserting our own intellectual property rights against others, such litigation can be complex, costly, protracted and highly disruptive to our or our licensees’ business operations by diverting the attention and energies of management and key technical personnel. As a result, the pendency or adverse outcome of any intellectual property litigation to which we or our licensees are subject could disrupt business operations, require the incurrence of substantial costs and subject us or our licensees to significant liabilities, each of which could severely harm our business. Costs associated with these actions are likely to increase as AMOLED products using our PHOLED and other OLED technologies and materials enter the consumer marketplace. Plaintiffs in intellectual property cases often seek injunctive relief in addition to money damages. Any intellectual property litigation commenced against our licensees may force them to take actions that could be harmful to their businesses and thus to our royalties, including the following:  stop selling their products that incorporate or otherwise use our allegedly infringing technology or materials;  attempt to obtain a license to the relevant third-party intellectual property, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or  attempt to redesign their products to remove our allegedly infringing technology or materials to avoid infringement of the third-party intellectual property. If our licensees are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, they may be unable to manufacture and sell their products that incorporate our technology or materials at a profit or at all. Furthermore, the measure of damages in intellectual property litigation can be complex, and is often subjective or uncertain. If our licensees were to be found liable for infringement of proprietary rights of a third party, the amount of damages they might have to pay could be substantial and is difficult to predict. Decreased sales of our licensees’ products incorporating our technology or materials would have an adverse effect on our royalty revenues under existing licenses. Any necessity to procure rights to the third-party intellectual property might cause our existing licensees to seek to renegotiate the royalty terms of their licenses with us to compensate for this increase in their cost of production or, in certain cases, to terminate their licenses with us entirely. Were this to occur, it would likely harm our ability to compete for new licensees and would have an adverse effect on the terms of the royalty arrangements we could enter into with any new licensees. As is commonplace in technology companies, we employ individuals who were previously employed at other technology companies. To the extent our employees are involved in research areas that are similar to those areas in which they were involved at their former employers, we may be subject to claims that such employees or we have, inadvertently or - 18 - otherwise, used or disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against such claims. The costs associated with these actions or the loss of rights critical to our or our licensees’ businesses could negatively impact our revenues or cause our business to fail. Conflicts may arise with our licensees or joint development partners, resulting in renegotiation or termination of, or litigation related to, our agreements with them. This would adversely affect our revenues. Conflicts could arise between us and our licensees or joint development partners as to royalty rates, milestone payments or other commercial terms. Similarly, we may disagree with our licensees or joint development partners as to which party owns or has the right to commercialize intellectual property that is developed during the course of the relationship or as to other non-commercial terms. If such a conflict were to arise, a licensee or joint development partner might attempt to compel renegotiation of certain terms of their agreement or terminate their agreement entirely, and we might lose the royalty revenues and other benefits of the agreement. Either we or the licensee or joint development partner might initiate litigation to determine commercial obligations, establish intellectual property rights or resolve other disputes under the agreement. Such litigation could be costly to us and require substantial attention of management. If we were unsuccessful in such litigation, we could lose the commercial benefits of the agreement, be liable for other financial damages and suffer losses of intellectual property or other rights that are the subject of dispute. Any of these adverse outcomes could cause our business strategy to fail. If we cannot obtain and maintain appropriate patent and other intellectual property rights protection for our OLED technologies and materials, our business will suffer. The value of our OLED technologies and materials is dependent on our ability to secure and maintain appropriate patent and other intellectual property rights protection. Although we own or license many patents respecting our OLED technologies and materials that have already been issued, there can be no assurance that additional patents applied for will be obtained, or that any of these patents, once issued, will afford commercially significant protection for our OLED technologies and materials, or will be found valid if challenged. Also, there is no assurance that we will be successful in defending the validity of our current or future patents in pending and future patent oppositions, invalidation trials, interferences, reexaminations, reissues, or other administrative or court proceedings. Moreover, we have not obtained patent protection for some of our OLED technologies and materials in all foreign countries in which OLED products or materials might be manufactured or sold, and recent U.S. Supreme Court case law has restricted the extraterritorial reach of U.S. patent law in certain instances. In any event, the patent laws of other countries may differ from those of the United States as to the patentability of our OLED technologies and materials and the degree of protection afforded. We believe that the strength of our current intellectual property position results primarily from the essential nature of our fundamental patents covering phosphorescent OLED devices and certain materials utilized in these devices. Our existing fundamental phosphorescent OLED patents expire in the United States in 2017 and 2019, and in other countries of the world in 2018 and 2020. While we hold a wide range of additional patents and patent applications whose expiration dates extend (and in the case of patent applications, will extend) beyond 2020, many of which are also of importance in the OLED industry, none are of an equally essential nature as our fundamental patents, and therefore our competitive position may be less certain, as these patents expire. We may become engaged in litigation to protect or enforce our patent and other intellectual property rights, or in International Trade Commission proceedings to abate the importation of goods that would compete unfairly with those of our licensees. In addition, we are participating in or have participated in, and will likely have to participate in the future in, interference, reissue, or reexamination proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and opposition, nullity or other proceedings before foreign patent offices, with respect to our patents or patent applications. All of these actions place our patents and other intellectual property rights at risk and may result in substantial costs to us as well as a diversion of management attention from our business and operations. Moreover, if successful, these actions could result in the loss of patent or other intellectual property rights protection for the key OLED technologies and materials on which our business depends. We rely, in part, on several non-patented proprietary technologies to operate our business. Others may independently develop the same or similar technologies or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technologies. Furthermore, these parties may obtain patent protection for such technology, inhibiting or preventing us from practicing the technology. To protect our trade secrets, know-how and other non-patented proprietary information, we require employees, consultants, financial advisors and strategic partners to enter into confidentiality agreements. These agreements may not - 19 - ultimately provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other non-patented proprietary information. In particular, we may not be able to fully or adequately protect our proprietary information as we conduct discussions with potential strategic partners. If we are unable to protect the proprietary nature of our technologies, it will harm our business. Recent court decisions in various patent cases may make it more difficult for us obtain future patents, enforce our patents against third parties or obtain favorable judgments in cases where the patents are enforced. Recent case law may make it more difficult for patent holders to secure future patents and/or enforce existing patents. For example, in KSR International Co. vs. Teleflex, Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court mandated a more expansive and flexible approach to determine whether a patent is obvious and invalid. As a result of the less rigid approach to assessing obviousness, defending the validity of or obtaining patents may be more difficult. Recent court decisions may also impact the enforcement of our patents. For example, we may not be able to enjoin certain third party uses of products or methods covered by our patents following the initial authorized sale, even where those uses are expressly proscribed in an agreement with the buyer. Also, we may face increased difficulty enjoining infringement of our patents. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that an injunction should not automatically issue based on a finding of patent infringement, but should be determined based on a test balancing considerations of the patentee’s interest, the infringer’s interest, and the public’s interest. Obtaining enhanced damages for willful infringement of our patents may also be more difficult even in those cases where we successfully prove a third party has infringed our patents, as a recent case set a more stringent standard for proving willful infringement. Therefore, as a result of such rulings, it may be more difficult for us to defend our currently issued patents, obtain additional patents in the future or achieve the desired competitive effect even when our patents are enforced. If we are unable to so defend our currently issued patents, or to obtain new patents for any reason, our business would suffer. We have a history of losses and may never be profitable. Since inception, we have incurred significant losses and we expect to incur losses until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from the commercial exploitation of our OLED technologies and materials to support our operations. This may never occur because:  OLED technologies might not be adopted for broad commercial usage;  markets for flat panel displays and solid-state lighting products utilizing OLED technologies may be limited; and  amounts we can charge for access to our OLED technologies and materials may not be sufficient for us to make a profit. We may require additional funding in the future in order to continue our business. Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. We may require additional funding in the future for the research, development and commercialization of our OLED technologies and materials, to obtain and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights in these technologies and materials, and for working capital and other purposes, the timing and amount of which are difficult to ascertain. Our cash on hand may not be sufficient to meet all of our future needs. When we need additional funds, such funds may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot obtain more money when needed, our business might fail. Additionally, if we attempt to raise money in an offering of shares of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants or depositary shares, or if we engage in acquisitions involving the issuance of such securities, the issuance of these shares will dilute our then-existing shareholders. We rely solely on PPG Industries to manufacture the OLED materials we use and sell to product manufacturers. Our business prospects depend significantly on our ability to obtain proprietary OLED materials for our own use and for sale to product manufacturers. Our agreement with PPG Industries provides us with a source for these materials for development and evaluation purposes, as well as for commercial purposes. This agreement, however, is scheduled to expire at the end of 2012. Our inability to continue obtaining these OLED materials from PPG Industries or another source would - 20 - have a material adverse effect on our revenues from sales of these materials to OLED product manufacturers, as well as on our ability to perform future development work. Because the vast majority of OLED product manufacturers are located in the Asia-Pacific region, we are subject to international operational, financial, legal and political risks which may negatively impact our operations. Many of our licensees and prospective licensees have a majority of their operations in countries other than the United States, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Risks associated with our doing business outside of the United States include, without limitation:  compliance with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations;  legal uncertainties regarding taxes, tariffs, quotas, export controls, export licenses and other trade barriers;  economic instability in the countries of our licensees, causing delays or reductions in orders for their products and therefore our royalties;  political instability in the countries in which our licensees operate, particularly in South Korea relating to its disputes with North Korea and in Taiwan relating to its disputes with China;  difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer accounts receivable payment cycles; and  potentially adverse tax consequences. Any of these factors could impair our ability to license our OLED technologies and sell our OLED materials, thereby harming our business. The U.S. government has rights to intellectual property derived from our government-funded work that might prevent us from realizing the full benefits of our intellectual property portfolio. The U.S. government, through various government agencies, has provided and continues to provide funding to us, Princeton, USC and Michigan for work related to certain aspects of our OLED technologies. Because we have been provided with this funding, the government has rights to any intellectual property derived from this work that could restrict our ability to market OLED products to the government for military and other applications, or to license this intellectual property to third parties for commercial applications. Moreover, if the government determines that we have not taken effective steps to achieve practical application of this intellectual property in any field of use in a reasonable time, the government could require us to license this intellectual property to other parties in that field of use. Any of these occurrences would limit our ability to obtain maximum value from our intellectual property portfolio. If we cannot keep our key employees or hire other talented persons as we grow, our business might not succeed. Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued services of senior management and other key personnel, and on our ability to offer competitive salaries and benefits to our employees. We do not have employment agreements with any of our management or other key personnel. Additionally, competition for highly skilled technical, managerial and other personnel is intense. We might not be able to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate the highly skilled managers and employees we need to be successful. If we fail to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel, our business will suffer and might fail. We can issue shares of preferred stock that may adversely affect the rights of shareholders of our common stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time-to-time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of shareholders of our common stock. For example, an issuance of shares of preferred stock could: - 21 -  adversely affect the voting power of the shareholders of our common stock;  make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of us;  discourage bids for our common stock at a premium; or  otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As of March 9, 2011, we have issued and outstanding 200,000 shares of Series A Nonconvertible Preferred Stock, all of which are held by an entity controlled by members of the family of Sherwin I. Seligsohn, our Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has authorized and issued other shares of preferred stock in the past, none of which are currently outstanding, and may do so again at any time in the future. If the price of our common stock goes down, we may have to issue more shares than are presently anticipated to be issued under our agreement with PPG Industries. Under our agreement with PPG Industries, we are required to issue to PPG Industries shares of our common stock as partial payment for services rendered by it, though under limited circumstances we are required to compensate PPG Industries fully in cash in lieu of common stock. The number of shares of common stock that we are required to deliver to PPG Industries is based on a specified formula. Under this formula, the lower the price of our common stock at and around the time of issuance, the greater the number of shares that we are required to issue to PPG Industries. Lower than anticipated market prices for our common stock, and correspondingly greater numbers of shares issuable to PPG Industries, with a resulting increase in the number of shares available for public sale, could cause people to sell our common stock, including in short sales, which could drive down the price of our common stock, thus reducing its value and perhaps hindering our ability to raise additional funds in the future. In addition, such an increase in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock would further dilute existing holders of this stock. Our executive officers and directors own a large percentage of our common stock and could exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval, including takeover attempts. Our executive officers and directors, their respective affiliates and the adult children of Sherwin Seligsohn, our Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, beneficially own, as of March 9, 2011, approximately 15% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, these individuals may, as a practical matter, be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combinations. This concentration also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us. The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile, as has been the case with our common stock in the past as well as the securities of many companies, particularly other emerging-growth companies in the technology industry. We have included in the section of this report entitled “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities,” a table indicating the high and low closing prices of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market for the past two years. Factors such as the following may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock in the future:  our revenues, expenses and operating results;  announcements by us or our competitors of technological developments, new product applications or license arrangements; and  other factors affecting the flat panel display and solid-state lighting industries in general. - 22 - Our operating results may have significant period-to-period fluctuations, which would make it difficult to predict our future performance. Due to the current stage of commercialization of our OLED technologies and materials, and the significant development and manufacturing objectives that we and our licensees must achieve to be successful, our quarterly operating results are difficult to predict and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not a reliable indicator of our future performance at this time. Among other factors affecting our period-to-period results, our license and technology development fees often consist of large one-time or annual payments, which may result in significant fluctuations in our revenues. If, in some future period, our operating results or business outlook fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price would be likely to decline and investors in our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above their purchase price. Broad market, industry and global economic factors may also materially reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock could drive down the price of our stock. The price of our common stock could decrease if:  shares of our common stock that are currently subject to restriction on sale become freely salable, whether through an effective registration statement or based on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or  we issue additional shares of our common stock that might be or become freely salable, including shares that would be issued upon conversion of our preferred stock or the exercise of outstanding warrants and options. Because we do not intend to pay dividends, shareholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance further research and development and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which current shareholders purchased their shares. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our corporate offices and research and development laboratories are located at 375 Phillips Boulevard in Ewing, New Jersey. In 2004, we acquired the building and property at which this facility is located. During 2005, we conducted a two-stage expansion of our laboratory and office space in the building. We currently occupy the entire 40,200 square feet facility. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Opposition to European Patent No. 0946958 On December 8, 2006, CDT, which was acquired in 2007 by Sumitomo, filed a Notice of Opposition to European Patent No. 0946958 (EP ‘958 patent). The EP ‘958 patent, which was issued on March 8, 2006, is a European counterpart patent to U.S. patents 5,844,363, 6,602,540, 6,888,306 and 7,247,073. These patents relate to our FOLED® flexible OLED technology. They are exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and under the license agreement we are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. - 23 - The European Patent Office (EPO) conducted an Oral Hearing in this matter on October 6, 2009. No representative from CDT attended the Oral Hearing. At the conclusion of the Oral Hearing, the EPO panel announced its decision to reject the opposition and to maintain the patent as granted. The minutes of the Oral Hearing were dispatched on October 27, 2009, and the EPO issued its official decision on November 26, 2009. CDT filed an appeal to the EPO decision on January 25, 2010. CDT timely filed its grounds for the appeal with the EPO on or about April 1, 2010. The EPO set August 12, 2010 as the due date for filing our reply to this appeal. Our reply was timely filed. At this time, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the EPO decision will be upheld on appeal. However, we cannot make any assurances of this result. Opposition to European Patent No. 1449238 On March 8, 2007, Sumation Company Limited (Sumation), a joint venture between Sumitomo and CDT, filed a first Notice of Opposition to European Patent No. 1449238 (EP ‘238 patent). The EP ‘238 patent, which was issued on November 2, 2006, is a European counterpart patent, in part, to U.S. patents 6,830,828; 6,902,830; 7,001,536; 7,291,406 and 7,537,844; and to pending U.S. patent application 12/434,259, filed on May 1, 2009. These patents and this patent application relate to our UniversalPHOLED® phosphorescent OLED technology. They are exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and under the license agreement we are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. Two other parties filed additional oppositions to the EP ‘238 patent just prior to the August 2, 2007 expiration date for such filings. On July 24, 2007, Merck Patent GmbH, of Darmstadt, Germany, filed a second Notice of Opposition to the EP ‘238 patent, and on July 27, 2007, BASF Aktiengesellschaft, of Mannheim, Germany, filed a third Notice of Opposition to the EP ‘238 patent. The EPO combined all three oppositions into a single opposition proceeding. The EPO set a January 6, 2008 due date for us to file our response to the opposition. We requested a two-month extension to file this response, which we subsequently filed in a timely manner. We are still waiting for the EPO to notify us of the date of the Oral Hearing. We are also waiting to see whether the other parties in the opposition file any additional documents, to which we may respond. At this time, we cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the opposition. However, based on our current knowledge, we believe there is a substantial likelihood that the patent being challenged will be declared valid, and that all or a significant portion of its claims will be upheld. Invalidation Trial in Japan for Japan Patent No. 3992929 On April 19, 2010, we received a copy of a Notice of Invalidation Trial from the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) for our Japan Patent No. 3992929 (JP ‘929 patent), which was issued on August 3, 2007. The request for the Invalidation Trial was filed by Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd., of Kanagawa, Japan. The JP ‘929 patent is a Japanese counterpart patent, in part, to the above-noted EP ‘238 patent and to the above-noted family of U.S. patents 6,830,828; 6,902,830; 7,001,536; 7,291,406 and 7,537,844; and to pending U.S. patent application 12/434,259, filed on May 1, 2009. On August 24, 2010, the JPO issued a Notice for an Oral Hearing in this matter, which was held on November 16, 2010. On February 28, 2011, we learned that the JPO had issued a decision recognizing our invention and upholding the validity of most of the claims, but finding the broadest claims in the patent invalid. We believe that the JPO’s decision invalidating these claims was erroneous. We are still waiting to receive a translated copy of the JPO’s decision, after which we plan to appeal this portion of the decision to the Japanese IP High Court. At this time, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the JPO decision invalidating certain claims in our JP ‘929 patent should be overturned on appeal. However, we cannot make any assurances of this result. Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870 On about April 20, 2010, five European companies filed Notices of Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870 (EP ‘270 patent). The EP ‘270 patent, which was issued on July 22, 2009, is a European counterpart patent, in part, to U.S. patents 6,303,238; 6,579,632; 6,872,477; 7,279,235; 7,279,237; 7,488,542 and 7,563,519; and to pending U.S. patent - 24 - application 12/489,045, filed on June 22, 2009. These patents and this patent application relate to our PHOLED technology. They are exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and under the license agreement we are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. The five companies are Merck Patent GmbH, of Darmstadt, Germany; BASF Schweitz AG of Basel, Switzerland; Osram GmbH of Munich, Germany; Siemens Aktiengesellschaft of Munich, Germany; and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., of Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The EPO combined the oppositions into a single opposition proceeding and set October 4, 2010 as the due date for us to file our response, subject to extension. We requested a two-month extension to file this response, and we subsequently filed our response in a timely manner. We are still waiting for the EPO to notify us of the date of the Oral Hearing. We are also waiting to see whether any of the other parties in the opposition file additional documents, to which we may respond. At this time, we cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the oppositions. However, based on our current knowledge, we believe there is a substantial likelihood that the patent being challenged will be declared valid, and that all or a significant portion of its claims will be upheld. Invalidation Trials in Japan for Japan Patent Nos. 4357781 and 4358168 On May 24, 2010, we received copies of two additional Notices of Invalidation Trials against Japan Patent Nos. 4357781 (JP ‘781 patent) and 4358168 (JP ‘168 patent), which were both issued on August 14, 2009. The requests for these two additional Invalidation Trials were also filed by Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd., of Kanagawa, Japan. The JP ‘781 and ‘168 patents are also Japanese counterpart patents, in part, to the above-noted family of U.S. patents 6,830,828; 6,902,830; 7,001,536; 7,291,406 and 7,537,844; and to pending U.S. patent application 12/434,259, filed on May 1, 2009. Under our license agreement with Princeton, we are also required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with these two proceedings. The JPO set a due date of August 18, 2010 for us to file our response to the evidence and arguments submitted with the requests for the Invalidation Trials. We requested and the JPO granted a 30-day extension for us to file our response, which was timely filed. Additional written statements were filed in January 2011 in response to a request by the JPO, addressing points that were expected to be raised by the JPO at the Oral Hearing that was held on February 1, 2011. Another written statement was submitted in February 2011 to address additional points raised at the Oral Hearing. At this time, we cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the Invalidation Trials. However, based on our current knowledge, we believe there is a substantial likelihood that the patents being challenged will both be declared valid, and that all or a significant portion of their claims will be upheld. Interference involving Claims 48-52 of US Patent No. 6,902,830 Patent Interference No. 105,771 was declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on November 17, 2010 between The University of Southern California and The Trustees of Princeton University, Junior Party, (The Universities) and Fujifilm Holding Corporation (Fuji), Senior Party. The dispute is between The Universities’ U.S. Patent No 6,902,830 (’830 patent), claims 48-52, and Fuji’s Patent Application No. 11/802,492, claims 1-5. The ‘830 patent relates to our UniversalPHOLED® phosphorescent OLED technology. It is exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and under the license agreement we are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. The USPTO declares an interference when two or more parties claim the same patentable invention. The objective of an interference is to contest which party, if any, has both a right to participate in the proceeding and a right to the claimed invention and, if more than one party does, then to contest which party has the earliest priority date for the claimed invention. At a telephone hearing on January 28, 2011, the Universities were authorized to file seven motions, which all have a due date of April 29, 2011. We are currently preparing to file these motions. At this time, we cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the Interference. However, based on our current knowledge, we believe there is a substantial likelihood that our claims 48-52 of the ‘830 patent will prevail. - 25 - Request for an Invalidation Trial in Korea for Patent No. 10-0998059 On March 10, 2011, we received informal notice from our Korean patent counsel of a Request for an Invalidation Trial from the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) for our Korean Patent No. 10-0998059 (KR ‘059 patent), which was issued on November 26, 2010. We do not yet know who filed the request. The KR ‘059 patent is a Korean counterpart patent to the OVJP Organic Vapor Jet Printing family of U.S. patents originating from US 7,431,968. At this time, we cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of this Invalidation Trial.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section entitled “Selected Financial Data” in this report and our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, as more fully discussed in Item 1A of this report, entitled “Risk Factors.” Overview We are a leader in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode, or OLED, technologies for use in flat panel display, solid-state lighting and other applications. Since 1994, we have been exclusively engaged, and expect to continue to be exclusively engaged, in funding and performing research and development activities relating to OLED technologies and materials, and in attempting to commercialize these technologies and materials. Our revenues are generated through contract research, sales of development and commercial chemicals, license fees and royalties, technology development and evaluation agreements, and commercialization assistance agreements. In the future, we anticipate that the revenues from licensing our intellectual property will become a more significant part of our revenue stream. While we have made significant progress over the past few years developing and commercializing our family of OLED technologies (PHOLED, TOLED, FOLED, etc.) and materials, we have incurred significant losses and will likely continue to do so until our OLED technologies and materials become more widely adopted by product manufacturers. We have incurred significant losses since our inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $217,026,115 as of December 31, 2010. - 30 - We anticipate fluctuations in our annual and quarterly results of operations due to uncertainty regarding:    the timing of our receipt of license fees and royalties, as well as fees for future technology development and evaluation; the timing and volume of sales of our OLED materials for both commercial usage and evaluation purposes; the timing and magnitude of expenditures we may incur in connection with our ongoing research and development activities; and  the timing and financial consequences of our formation of new business relationships and alliances. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and other financial information. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates under other assumptions and conditions. We believe that our accounting policies related to revenue recognition and deferred license fees, stock-based compensation and accounting for warrants and our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as described below, are our “critical accounting policies” as contemplated by the SEC. These policies, which have been reviewed with our Audit Committee, are discussed in greater detail below. Revenue Recognition and Deferred License Fees Contract research revenue represents reimbursements by the U.S. government for all or a portion of the research and development expenses we incur related to our government contracts. Revenue is recognized proportionally as research and development expenses are incurred or as defined milestones are achieved. In order to ascertain the revenue associated with these contracts for a period, we estimate the proportion of related research and development expenses incurred and whether defined milestones have been achieved. Different estimates would result in different revenues for the period. We receive non-refundable cash payments under certain development and technology evaluation agreements with our customers. These payments are generally recognized as revenue over the term of the agreement. On occasion, however, these payments are creditable against license fees and/or royalties payable by the customer if a license agreement is subsequently executed with the customer. These payments are classified as deferred license fees or deferred revenues, and are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet until such time as revenue can be recognized. Revenue is deferred until a license agreement is executed or negotiations have ceased and there is no appreciable likelihood of executing a license agreement with the customer. If a license agreement is executed, these payments are recorded as revenue over the estimated useful life of the licensed technology and the revenue is classified based on the terms of the license. Otherwise, these payments are recorded as revenue at the time negotiations with the customer show that there is no appreciable likelihood of executing a license agreement. If we used different estimates for the useful life of the licensed technology, reported revenue during the relevant period would differ. As of December 31, 2010, $8,098,178 was recorded as deferred license fees and deferred revenue, of which $3,366,667 may be recognized under license agreements that have not yet been executed or deemed effective. Valuation of Stock-Based Compensation We recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of equity-based compensation issued to employees and directors (see Notes 2 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). We also record an expense for equity-based compensation grants to non-employees, in exchange for goods or services, based on the fair value, which is remeasured over the vesting period of such awards. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options and warrants we have granted for purposes of recording charges to the statement of operations. In order to calculate the fair value of the options and warrants, assumptions are made for certain components of the model, including expected volatility, expected dividend yield - 31 - rate and expected option life. Although we use our best estimates when setting these assumptions, changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation of future grants or the remeasurement of non-employee awards. Accounting for Warrants On January 1, 2009, we adopted certain revised provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These provisions apply to freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result, certain of our warrants are considered to be derivatives since they contain “down-round” provisions and must be remeasured at fair value at the end of each period as they are recorded as liabilities. The stock warrant liability was $10,659,755 at December 31, 2010. The fair value of the stock warrant liability is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for certain components of the model, including expected volatility and expected annual dividend yield. Although we use our best estimates when setting these assumptions, changes in assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the future valuation of the stock warrant liability. The change in fair value of the stock warrant liability is recorded as a gain or loss on the statement of operations. Retirement Plan We have recorded a significant retirement plan benefit liability that is developed from actuarial valuations. The determination of our retirement plan benefit liability requires key assumptions regarding discount rates, as well as rates of compensation increases, retirement dates and life expectancies used to determine the present value of future benefit payments. We determine these assumptions in consultation with, and after input from, our actuaries and considering our experience and expectations for the future. Actual results for a given period will often differ from assumed amounts because of economic and other factors. The discount rate reflects the estimated rate at which the benefit liabilities could be settled at the end of the year. The discount rate is determined by selecting a single rate that produces a result equivalent to discounting expected benefit payments from the plan using the Citigroup Above-Median Pension Discount Curve (Curve). Based upon this analysis using the Curve, we used a discount rate to measure our retirement plan benefit liability of 5.44% at December 31, 2010. A change of 25 basis points in the discount rate would increase or decrease the expense on an annual basis by approximately $21,000. Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009 We had an operating loss of $10,226,297 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to an operating loss of $20,266,794 for 2009. The decrease in operating loss was due to:  an increase in revenue of $14,757,763;  offset by an increase in operating expenses of $4,717,266. We had a net loss of $19,917,410 (or $0.53 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $20,505,320 (or $0.56 per diluted share) for 2009. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to:  a decrease in operating loss of $10,040,497;  offset by an increase in loss on stock warrant liability of $9,046,010. Our revenues were $30,544,380 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $15,786,617 for 2009. Commercial revenue increased to $11,129,747 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $6,118,099 for 2009. Commercial revenue relates to the incorporation of our OLED technologies and materials into our customers’ commercial products, and includes commercial chemical revenue, royalty and license revenues, and commercialization assistance revenue. The increase in commercial revenue was primarily due to the following: - 32 -  an increase of $2,969,805 in commercial chemical revenue; and  an increase of $1,909,509 in royalty revenue, which mainly represented royalties received under our patent license agreement with Samsung SMD. We cannot accurately predict how long our material sales to Samsung SMD or other customers will continue, as they frequently update and alter their product offerings in response to market demands. Continued sales of our OLED materials to these customers will depend on several factors, including pricing, availability, continued technical improvement and competitive product offerings. In 2010, we entered into three amendments to our patent license agreement with Samsung SMD. These amendments extended the term of that agreement for three-month periods, the latest extension being through March 31, 2011. As of the date of the filing, we are continuing to negotiate with Samsung SMD on the terms of a new business arrangement. We filed for and were granted a five-year exemption on withholding tax on royalty payments received from Samsung SMD under our patent license agreement as part of a tax incentive program in Korea. The exemption was granted in May 2005 and remained in effect until May 2010. Since then, Samsung SMD has been required to withhold tax upon payment of royalties to us. In 2010, the withholding tax rate for royalty payments made by Samsung SMD was 16.5%. Developmental revenue increased to $19,414,633 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $9,668,518 for 2009. Developmental revenue relates to OLED technology and material development and evaluation activities for which we are paid, and includes contract research revenue, development chemical revenue and technology development revenue. The increase in developmental revenue was primarily due to an increase of $8,633,192 in development chemical revenue, largely due to increased purchases of development chemicals by LG Display and other customers preparing for commercial OLED production. Cost of chemicals sold increased to $887,509 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $374,322 for the year ended December 31, 2009, based on the aforementioned increase in chemical sales. We incurred research and development expenses of $21,695,139 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $21,122,156 for 2009. The increase in research and development expenses was consistent with our expectations based on the growth of our business. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13,041,438 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $10,921,859 for 2009. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to:  increased employee costs of $1,383,653, due primarily to increased salaries and stock compensation for certain executive officers; and  expenses of $1,026,244 related to net periodic benefit costs of the Universal Display Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for certain executive officers, which was implemented in 2010. See Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Patent costs increased to $4,270,689 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $3,239,795 for 2009. The increase is mainly due to the timing of prosecution and maintenance costs associated with a number of patents and patent applications, as well as the timing of costs for certain ongoing and new patent matters. Interest income decreased to $279,474 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $669,633 for 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to decreased rates of return on investments during 2010, compared to rates of return during 2009. Due to current market conditions, we anticipate that these lower rates of return will continue for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2010, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 586,972 shares of common stock, which warrants contain a “down-round” provision requiring liability classification. The change in fair value of these warrants during the period resulted in a $10,077,065 non-cash loss on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to a $1,031,055 non-cash loss for the year ended December 31, 2009. We will continue to report the - 33 - warrants as a liability, with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations, until such time as these warrants are either exercised or expire in August 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we sold approximately $3.8 million of our state-related income tax net operating losses (NOLs) and $194,088 of our research and development tax credits under the New Jersey Technology Tax Certificate Transfer Program. We received proceeds of $464,162 from our sale of these NOLs and research and development tax credits, and we recorded these proceeds as an income tax benefit. In past years, we completed our sales of state-related tax NOLs during the fourth quarter of the year. The income tax benefit was offset by foreign income taxes of $329,813 withheld in connection with our royalty revenues, as noted above. Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008 We had an operating loss of $20,266,794 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to an operating loss of $22,662,914 for 2008. The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to:  an increase in revenue of $4,711,393;  offset by an increase in operating expenses of $2,315,273. We had a net loss of $20,505,320 (or $0.56 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $19,139,736 (or $0.53 per diluted share) for 2008. The increase in net loss was primarily due to:  a decrease in interest income of $1,938,264;  a loss on stock warrant liability of $1,031,055; and  a decrease in income tax benefit of $832,563;  offset by a decrease in operating loss of $2,396,120. Our revenues were $15,786,617 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $11,075,224 for 2008. Commercial revenue increased to $6,118,099 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $5,630,758 for 2008. Commercial revenue relates to the incorporation of our OLED technologies and materials into our customers’ commercial products, and includes commercial chemical revenue, royalty and license revenues, and commercialization assistance revenue. The increase in commercial revenue was due to the following:  an increase of $764,717 in royalty revenue, which mainly represented royalties received under our patent license agreement with Samsung SMD;  an increase of $525,010 for commercialization assistance under a business agreement executed in the fourth quarter of 2008; and  an increase of $179,639 in license fees, primarily due to a patent license agreement we entered into with Konica Minolta in August 2008, a joint development agreement we previously entered into with a subsidiary of Konica Minolta, and two other agreements we entered into during the fourth quarter of 2008. The overall increase in commercial revenue was offset by a decrease of $982,025 in commercial chemical revenue. The decrease resulted from a lower volume of OLED material sales to Samsung SMD. Our understanding is that this lower sales volume was due to Samsung SMD’s implementation of manufacturing process efficiencies, improved materials utilization and more efficient and improved device structures, offset in part by increased production volume. We cannot accurately predict how long our material sales to Samsung SMD or other customers will continue, as they frequently update and alter their product offerings in response to market demands. Continued sales of our OLED materials to these customers will depend on several factors, including pricing, availability, continued technical improvement and competitive product offerings. - 34 - Developmental revenue increased to $9,668,518 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $5,444,466 for 2008. Developmental revenue relates to OLED technology and material development and evaluation activities for which we are paid, and includes contract research revenue, development chemical revenue and technology development revenue. The increase in developmental revenue was mainly due to the following:  an increase of $1,814,734 in technology development revenue, primarily due to revenue recognition of a non- refundable payment of $1,500,000 that we received from Kyocera Corporation (Kyocera) during the third quarter of 2008;  a increase of $1,558,254 in contract research revenue, principally to the timing of work performed and costs incurred in connection with several new and completed government contracts during 2009, as well as an overall increase in value of our government contracts; and  an increase of $851,064 in development chemical revenue, mainly due to increased purchases of development chemicals by LG Display. The $1,500,000 payment from Kyocera referenced above was for technical assistance previously provided under an evaluation agreement with a subsidiary of Kyocera established by it to conduct OLED research, development, manufacturing and sales activities. We had previously classified this payment as deferred revenue because it was creditable against a portion of the upfront fee under our license agreement with Kyocera. The license agreement was to become effective upon notice from Kyocera given on or before December 31, 2009. In September 2009, we received notification from Kyocera that it was terminating the evaluation agreement because its OLED subsidiary was being dissolved on September 30, 2009. Based on this notification, we determined and confirmed that Kyocera would not be sending us a notice declaring the license agreement effective. As a result of this development, we recorded the $1,500,000 payment as technology development revenue in the third quarter of 2009. We incurred research and development expenses of $21,122,156 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $19,220,653 for 2008. The increase was mainly due to:     increased costs of $899,312 incurred under our agreement with PPG Industries; increased costs of $631,931 associated with subcontractors and consultants under our government contracts; increased employee costs of $428,723; and increased costs of $169,225 incurred in connection with stock compensation to members of our Scientific Advisory Board. The increase in research and development expenses was offset by an overall decrease of $227,688 in operating costs associated with our Ewing facility. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,921,859 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $10,170,593 for 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent over these corresponding periods. Interest income decreased to $669,633 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $2,607,897 for 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to decreased rates of return on investments during 2009, compared to rates of return during 2008, as well as a decrease in the amount of cash available for investment. Due to current market conditions, we anticipate that these lower rates of return will continue for the foreseeable future. At January 1, 2009, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 838,446 shares of common stock, which warrants contain a “down-round” provision. On January 1, 2009, the fair value of these warrants of $2,689,110 was reclassified from equity to a liability upon the adoption of certain revisions to ASC 815. The change in fair value of these warrants during 2009 resulted in a $1,031,055 non-cash loss on our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. We will continue to report the warrants as a liability, with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations, until such time as these warrants are either exercised or expire in August 2011. - 35 - During 2009, we received federal cash refunds of $104,428 related to research and development credits. We also received state cash refunds of $25,487 from claims for overpaid New Jersey Alternative Minimum Assessment tax for taxable years 2003 to 2006. During 2008, we sold approximately $12.5 million of our state-related income tax net operating losses (NOLs) under the New Jersey Technology Tax Certificate Transfer Program. In 2008, we received proceeds of $962,478 from our sale of these NOLs and research and development tax credits, and we recorded these proceeds as an income tax benefit. No such proceeds were received during 2009; however, we received $464,162 in early 2010 for the sale of $3.8 million of our state-related NOLs and $194,088 of our research and development tax credits under the 2009 program. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20,368,852 and short-term investments of $52,794,545, for a total of $73,163,397. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $22,701,126 and short-term investments of $41,172,955, for a total of $63,874,081, as of December 31, 2009. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $9,289,316 was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, offset by cash used in operations. Cash used in operating activities was $4,200,138 for 2010, compared to $14,610,208 for 2009. The decreased usage of cash in operating activities was mainly due to the following:  a decrease in net loss after excluding the impact of non-cash items of $11,204,047; and  the impact of the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,598,881;  offset by the impact of the timing of receipt of accounts receivable of $3,009,807. Cash provided by financing activities was $13,697,681 for 2010, compared to $963,765 for the same period in 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we received proceeds of $14,618,569 from the exercise of options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock and $245,684 in proceeds related to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), compared to proceeds of $1,702,138 from the exercise of options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock and $130,184 in proceeds related to our ESPP for the same period in 2009. Working capital was $57,354,822 as of December 31, 2010, which included a stock warrant liability of $10,659,755, compared to $53,663,617 as of December 31, 2009. The stock warrant liability will either expire or be exercised by August 2011, resulting in no cash outlay on our part. Working capital, excluding the stock warrant liability, was $68,014,577 as of December 31, 2010. The increase in working capital as of December 31, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009, excluding the stock warrant liability, was mainly due to:  increased cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments;  an increase in accounts receivable; and  a reduction of the current portion of deferred license fees and deferred revenues. We anticipate, based on our internal forecasts and assumptions relating to our operations (including, among others, assumptions regarding our working capital requirements, the progress of our research and development efforts, the availability of sources of funding for our research and development work, and the timing and costs associated with the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of our patents and patent applications), that we have sufficient cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to meet our obligations for at least the next 12 months. We believe that potential additional financing sources for us include long-term and short-term borrowings, public and private sales of our equity and debt securities and the receipt of cash upon the exercise of warrants and options. It should be noted, however, that additional funding may be required in the future for research, development and commercialization of our OLED technologies and materials, to obtain, maintain and enforce patents respecting these technologies and materials, and for working capital and other purposes, the timing and amount of which are difficult to ascertain. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available to us when needed, on commercially reasonable terms or at all, particularly in the current economic environment. - 36 - Contractual Obligations As of December 31, 2010, we had the following contractual commitments: Contractual Obligations Estimated retirement plan benefit payments Sponsored research obligation Minimum royalty obligation (1) Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years Payments due by period $20,596,000 $ — $ 662,000 $ 934,000 $ 19,000,000 5,116,668 2,515,390 2,601,278 — — 500,000 100,000 200,000 200,000 100,000/year(1) Total (2) $26,212,668 $2,615,390 $3,463,278 $1,134,000 $ 19,000,000 (1) Under the 1997 License Agreement, we are obligated to pay Princeton minimum royalties of $100,000 per year until such time as the agreement is no longer in effect. The agreement has no scheduled expiration date. (2) See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of obligations upon termination of employment of executive officers as a result of a change in control of the Company. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of December 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements in the nature of guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities (or similar arrangements serving as credit, liquidity or market risk support to unconsolidated entities for any such assets), or obligations (including contingent obligations) arising out of variable interests in unconsolidated entities providing financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recently issued accounting pronouncements are addressed in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and hold no derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments that could expose us to significant market risk other than our short-term investments and our stock warrant liability disclosed in “Fair Value Measurements” in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included herein. We invest in investment grade financial instruments to reduce our exposure related to investments. Our primary market risk exposure with regard to such financial instruments is to changes in interest rates, which would impact interest income earned on investments. A change in interest rates of one point would not have a material impact on our operating results and cash flows. We record as a liability the fair value of warrants to purchase 586,972 shares of our common stock. The fair value of the stock warrant liability ($10,659,755 at December 31, 2010) is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and is therefore sensitive to changes in the stock price and volatility of our common stock. Our primary market risk exposure to the stock warrant liability is to changes in the stock price, which would impact the valuation of the stock warrant liability. Increases in our stock price or the expected volatility of our common stock would increase the fair value of the stock warrant liability and therefore result in an additional loss on the statement of operations. Decreases in these items would decrease the fair value of the stock warrant liability and therefore result in an additional gain on the statement of operations. Substantially all our revenue is derived from outside of North America.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Our Consolidated Financial Statements and the relevant notes to those statements are attached to this report beginning on page F-1. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. However, a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based upon criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria in Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by COSO. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, has been attested to by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears on the following page. Steven V. Abramson President and Chief Executive Officer Sidney D. Rosenblatt Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer March 15, 2011 F-2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Shareholders Universal Display Corporation: We have audited Universal Display Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Universal Display Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, Universal Display Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Universal Display Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated March 15, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements . /s/ KPMG LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania March 15, 2011 F-3 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Shareholders Universal Display Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Universal Display Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Universal Display Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BUSINESS: Universal Display Corporation (Company) is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies and materials for use in flat panel display, solid-state lighting and other product applications. The Company’s primary business strategy is to develop and license its proprietary OLED technologies to product manufacturers for use in these applications. In support of this objective, the Company also develops new OLED materials and sells those materials to product manufacturers. Through internal research and development efforts and relationships with entities such as Princeton University (Princeton), the University of Southern California (USC), the University of Michigan (Michigan) (Note 3), Motorola Solutions, Inc. (f/k/a Motorola, Inc.) (Motorola) and PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG Industries) (Note 7), the Company has established a significant portfolio of proprietary OLED technologies and materials. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Display Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UDC, Inc., Universal Display Corporation Hong Kong, Ltd. and Universal Display Corporation Korea, Inc. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Management’s Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates made are principally in the area of revenue recognition for license agreements, useful life of acquired technology, stock-based compensation and the valuation of stock warrant and retirement plan benefit liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its remaining short-term investments as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. Short-term investments at December 31, 2010 and 2009 consist of the following: Investment Classification December 31, 2010- Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains (Losses) Aggregate Fair Market Value Certificates of deposit Corporate bonds U.S. Government bonds $ 7,167,818 30,423,518 15,189,511 $ 62 19,964 3,040 $(7,919) (642) (807) $ 7,159,961 30,442,840 15,191,744 $52,780,847 $23,066 $(9,368) $52,794,545 December 31, 2009- Certificates of deposit U.S. Government bonds $ 8,688,457 32,458,981 $ 1,633 31,140 $(7,245) (11) $ 8,682,845 32,490,110 $41,147,438 $32,773 $(7,256) $41,172,955 All short-term investments held at December 31, 2010 will mature within one year. F-10 Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit- worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is a result of chemical sales, royalties, license fees, and U.S. government contract revenues. These receivables have historically been paid timely. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, the Company believes there is no significant risk of collection. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, allowances for doubtful accounts would be required. The Company recorded no bad debt expense in the years ending December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. Fair Value Measurements The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010: Total carrying value as of December 31, 2010 Cash equivalents Short-term investments Stock warrant liability $ 8,234,698 52,794,545 10,659,755 Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) $ 8,234,698 52,794,545 — Fair Value Measurements, Using Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ — — — Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ — — 10,659,755 The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009: Total carrying value as of December 31, 2009 $ 14,200,795 41,172,955 3,720,165 Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) $ 14,200,795 41,172,955 — Fair Value Measurements, Using Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ — — — Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ — — 3,720,165 Cash equivalents Short-term investments Stock warrant liability Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table is a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of the Company’s stock warrant liability for the years ended December 31, which has been classified in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy: Fair value of stock warrant liability, beginning of year Cumulative effect of reclassification of stock warrant liability under ASC 815, see “Stock Warrant Liability” below Loss for period Warrants exercised 2010 2009 $ 3,720,165 $ — — 10,077,065 (3,137,475) 2,689,110 1,031,055 — Fair value of stock warrant liability, end of year $ 10,659,755 $ 3,720,165 The fair value of the stock warrant liability was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs at December 31: F-11 Contractual life (years) Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Annual dividend yield Fair Value of Financial Instruments 2010 0.6 55.6% 0.2% — 2009 0.1-1.6 40.5-76.7% 0.1-0.8% — The carrying values of accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable approximate fair value in the accompanying financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The Company’s other financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, short-term investments and stock warrant liability are carried at fair value as noted above. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 30 years for building, 15 years for building improvements, and three to seven years for office and lab equipment and furniture and fixtures. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and betterments are capitalized. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Company management continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances might indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision, or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. As of December 31, 2010, Company management believed that no revision to the remaining useful lives or write-down of the Company’s long-lived assets was required. No such revisions were required for the years ended December 31, 2009 or 2008. Stock Warrant Liability On January 1, 2009, we adopted certain revised provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These provisions apply to freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock and provide guidance related to the determination of whether these instruments should be classified as equity or debt. If an instrument is classified as debt, it is valued at fair value, and this value is re-measured on an ongoing basis, with changes recorded on the statement of operations in each reporting period. At January 1, 2009, the Company had warrants to purchase shares of common stock outstanding containing a “down-round” provision. In accordance with the guidance in these revised provisions, the fair value of these warrants was required to be reported as a liability, with the changes of fair value recorded on the statement of operations. As such, on January 1, 2009, the fair value of these warrants at that date of $2,689,110 was reclassified from equity to a liability. As a result of the change, the original fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance of $6,557,928 was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. In addition, accumulated deficit, as of January 1, 2009, decreased to reflect the cumulative effect of the adoption of these provisions. The Company continues to report the warrants as a liability, with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations, until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. The change in fair value of the warrants resulted in a loss on the statement of operations of $10,777,065 and $1,031,055 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fair value of the remaining outstanding warrants which expire in August 2011, was $10,659,755 at December 31, 2010 and is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet. The fair value of the stock warrant liability is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as noted above in “Fair Value Measurements”. Although we use our best estimates when setting these assumptions, changes in assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the fair value of the stock warrant liability, which are recorded as a gain or loss on the statement of operations. F-12 Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding restricted stock awards for which the restrictions have not lapsed. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, the impact of unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units and shares to be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the effects of the exercise of the combined outstanding stock options and warrants and unvested restricted stock awards and units of 3,165,048, 4,299,598 and 4,756,274, respectively, and the impact of shares to be issued under the ESPP, which was minor, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Revenue Recognition and Deferred License Fees Commercial revenue relates to the incorporation of OLED technologies and materials into the Company’s customers’ commercial products, and includes commercial chemical revenue, royalty and license revenues, and commercialization assistance revenue. Developmental revenue relates to OLED technology and material development activities for which the Company is paid, and includes contract research revenue, development chemical revenue and technology development revenue. Commercial chemical revenue represents revenues from sales of OLED materials to manufacturers for the production of commercial products. This revenue is recognized at the time of shipment or at time of delivery, and passage of title, depending upon the contractual agreement between the parties. The Company has received non-refundable advance license and royalty payments under certain development and technology evaluation agreements. Certain of these payments are creditable against future amounts payable under commercial license agreements that the parties may subsequently enter into and, as such, are deferred until such license agreements are executed or negotiations have ceased and Company management determines that there is no appreciable likelihood of executing a license agreement with the other party. Revenue would then be recognized over the expected useful life of the relevant licensed technology, if there is an effective license agreement, or at the time Company management determines that there is no appreciable likelihood of an executable license agreement. Amounts deferred are classified as current and non-current based upon current contractual remaining terms; however, based upon on-going relationships with customers, as well as future agreement extensions, amounts classified as current as of December 31, 2010, may not be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months. Advanced payments received under agreements that are not creditable against license fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the agreement. Royalty revenue is recognized when earned and the amount is fixed and determinable. Development chemical revenue represents revenues from sales of OLED materials to product manufacturers for evaluation and development purposes. Revenue is recognized at the time of shipment and passage of title. The customer does not have the right to return the materials. Contract research revenue represents reimbursements by government entities for all or a portion of the research and development costs the Company incurs in relation to its government contracts. Revenues are recognized proportionally as research and development costs are incurred, or as defined milestones are achieved. Included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are unbilled receivables of $1,095,329 and $1,405,987, respectively. All amounts are billed and collected within one year. Cost of Chemicals Sold Cost of chemicals sold represents costs associated with the sale of commercial chemicals. Certain reclassifications were made to the statement of operations between cost of chemicals sold and research and development expenses for 2009 and 2008 to reflect this current presentation. Research and Development Expenditures for research and development are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of the following: F-13 Year Ended December 31, 2009 2010 2008 Development and operations in the Company’s facility Costs incurred under sponsored research agreements PPG OLED Materials Agreement (Note 7) Amortization of intangibles Scientific Advisory Board compensation $14,959,399 1,143,052 3,296,227 1,234,272 1,062,189 $14,350,130 1,264,983 3,266,980 1,695,072 544,991 $13,628,598 1,153,549 2,367,668 1,695,072 375,766 $21,695,139 $21,122,156 $19,220,653 Patent Costs Costs associated with patent applications, patent prosecution, patent defense and the maintenance of patents are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to successfully defend a challenge to a patent are capitalized to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patent. Costs that relate to an unsuccessful outcome are charged to expense. Statement of Cash Flow Information The following non-cash activities occurred: Unrealized (loss) gain on available-for-sale securities Common stock issued for royalties that was earned in a previous Year Ended December 31, 2009 2010 2008 $(11,819) $(100,980) $176,699 period 81,273 81,954 66,403 Common stock issued to Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board that was earned in a previous period 314,181 309,802 299,968 Common stock issued to employees that was accrued for in a previous period, net of shares withheld for taxes Fair value of stock warrant liability reclassified to shareholders’ equity upon exercise Common stock issued to non-employee that was earned in a previous period 929,552 1,031,645 867,510 3,137,475 — — — — 991 Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. The Company accounts for the sale of its state net operating losses on a cash basis; therefore, it does not record an income tax benefit until the cash is received. The Company classifies interest and penalties, if any, as a component of tax expense. Share-Based Payment Awards The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity- based compensation, such as shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, issued to employees and directors. The grant-date fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company relies primarily upon historical experience to estimate expected forfeitures and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis from the date of the grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise or vesting of share-based payment awards. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which will affect the revenue recognition accounting policies for transactions that involve multiple deliverables. The new guidance requires F-14 companies to allocate revenue in arrangements involving multiple deliverables based on the estimated selling price of each deliverable, even though those deliverables are not sold separately either by the company itself or other vendors. This new guidance eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence and third-party evidence for one or more elements in a multiple-element arrangement, companies will estimate the selling prices of those elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element whether delivered or undelivered, based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those estimated selling prices are evidenced by vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence of fair value or are based on the company’s judgment. The new guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Retrospective application to prior years is permitted, but not required. In the initial year of application, companies are required to make qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the impact of the changes. In many circumstances, the new guidance under these consensuses will require significant changes to a company’s revenue recognition policies and procedures, including system modifications. The Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures. These amended standards require disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as well as disclosures about significant transfers, beginning in the first quarter of 2010. Additionally, these amended standards require presentation of disaggregated activity within the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), beginning in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance allowing the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition methodology when an arrangement includes substantive milestones. The guidance provides a definition of a substantive milestone and should be applied regardless of whether the arrangement includes single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. The scope of this consensus is limited to the transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination. The consensus is effective prospectively to milestones achieved in annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after June 15, 2010. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. 3. RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN: The Company funded OLED technology research at Princeton and, on a subcontractor basis, at USC, for 10 years under a Research Agreement executed with Princeton in August 1997 (1997 Research Agreement). The Principal Investigator conducting work under the 1997 Research Agreement transferred to Michigan in January 2006. Following this, the 1997 Research Agreement was allowed to expire on July 31, 2007. As a result of the transfer, the Company entered into a new Sponsored Research Agreement with USC to sponsor OLED technology research at USC and, on a subcontractor basis, Michigan. This new Research Agreement (2006 Research Agreement) was effective as of May 1, 2006, and had an original term of three years. The 2006 Research Agreement superseded the 1997 Research Agreement with respect to all work being performed at USC and Michigan. Payments under the 2006 Research Agreement are made to USC on a quarterly basis as actual expenses are incurred. The Company incurred $2,155,570 in research and development expense for work performed under the 2006 Research Agreement during the original term, which ended on April 30, 2009. Effective May 1, 2009, the Company amended the 2006 Research Agreement to extend the term of the agreement for an additional four years. As of December 31, 2010, the Company is obligated to pay USC up to $5,116,668 for work to actually be performed during the remaining extended term, which runs through April 30, 2013. From May 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010, the Company incurred $1,474,229 in research and development expense for work performed under the amended 2006 Research Agreement. On October 9, 1997, the Company, Princeton and USC entered into an Amended License Agreement (1997 Amended License Agreement) under which Princeton and USC granted the Company worldwide, exclusive license rights, with rights to sublicense, to make, have made, use, lease and/or sell products and to practice processes based on patent applications and issued patents arising out of work performed by Princeton and USC under the 1997 Research Agreement. F-15 Under this agreement, the Company is required to pay Princeton royalties for licensed products sold by the Company or its sublicensees. For licensed products sold by the Company, the Company is required to pay Princeton 3% of the net sales price of these products. For licensed products sold by the Company’s sublicensees, the Company is required to pay Princeton 3% of the revenues received by the Company from these sublicensees. These royalty rates are subject to renegotiation for products not reasonably conceivable as arising out of the 1997 Research Agreement if Princeton reasonably determines that the royalty rates payable with respect to these products are not fair and competitive. The Company is obligated under the 1997 Amended License Agreement to pay to Princeton minimum annual royalties. The minimum royalty payment is $100,000 per year. The Company incurred $555,546, $222,721, and $223,901 of royalty expense in connection with the agreement for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company also is required under the 1997 Amended License Agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to bring the licensed OLED technology to market. However, this requirement is deemed satisfied if the Company invests a minimum of $800,000 per year in research, development, commercialization or patenting efforts respecting the patent rights licensed to the Company. In connection with entering into the 2006 Research Agreement, the Company amended the 1997 Amended License Agreement to include Michigan as a party to that agreement effective as of January 1, 2006. Under this amendment, Princeton, USC and Michigan have granted the Company a worldwide exclusive license, with rights to sublicense, to make, have made, use, lease and/or sell products and to practice processes based on patent applications and issued patents arising out of work performed under the 2006 Research Agreement. The financial terms of the 1997 Amended License Agreement were not impacted by this amendment. 4.

ACQUIRED TECHNOLOGY: Acquired technology consists of acquired license rights for patents and know-how obtained from PD-LD, Inc. and Motorola. These intangible assets consist of the following: PD-LD, Inc. Motorola Less: Accumulated amortization December 31, 2010 2009 $ 1,481,250 15,469,468 $ 1,481,250 15,469,468 16,950,718 (16,950,718) 16,950,718 (15,716,446) Acquired technology, net $ — $ 1,234,272 F-16 Amortization expense for all intangible assets was $1,234,272 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $1,695,072 for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. As of December 31, 2010, the acquired technology was fully amortized. The Company was required under a license agreement to pay Motorola royalties on gross revenues earned by the Company from its sales of OLED products or components, or from its OLED technology licensees, whether or not these revenues related specifically to inventions claimed in the patent rights licensed from Motorola. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded royalty expenses of $310,356, $162,558 and $163,916, respectively. To satisfy the royalty obligation, the Company issued to Motorola 7,200 and 12,015 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $81,273 and $81,954 and paid $81,285 and $81,962 in cash for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which were issued in 2010 and 2009, respectively. On March 9, 2011, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) to purchase the patents previously licensed from Motorola. The Purchase Agreement eliminated any obligation to the Company to make additional royalty payments to Motorola under the License Agreement, including the 2010 royalty obligation. In consideration for this assignment and transfer of the patents, the Company made a one-time cash payment to Motorola and granted Motorola a royalty-free, non-exclusive and non-sublicensable license under the Patent Properties for use by Motorola and its affiliates in their respective businesses. Such payment was not material to the company’s overall operations. 6. ACCRUED EXPENSES: Accrued expenses consist of the following: December 31, 2010 2009 Compensation Royalties Consulting Professional fees Subcontracts Research and development agreements Other $4,013,391 865,902 340,543 558,929 87,137 751,701 288,686 $3,440,951 385,279 357,064 406,381 178,206 332,741 138,248 $6,906,289 $5,238,870 7. EQUITY AND CASH COMPENSATION UNDER THE PPG AGREEMENTS: On October 1, 2000, the Company entered into a five-year Development and License Agreement (Development Agreement) and a seven-year Supply Agreement (Supply Agreement) with PPG Industries. Under the Development Agreement, a team of PPG Industries scientists and engineers assisted the Company in developing its proprietary OLED materials and supplied the Company with these materials for evaluation purposes. Under the Supply Agreement, PPG Industries supplied the Company with its proprietary OLED materials that were intended for resale to customers for commercial purposes. On July 29, 2005, the Company entered into an OLED Materials Supply and Service Agreement with PPG Industries (OLED Materials Agreement). The OLED Materials Agreement superseded and replaced in their entireties the Development Agreement and Supply Agreement effective as of January 1, 2006, and extended the term of the Company’s relationship with PPG Industries through December 31, 2009. The term of the OLED Materials Agreement has subsequently been extended through December 31, 2012. Under the OLED Materials Agreement, PPG Industries continues to assist the Company in developing its proprietary OLED materials and supplying the Company with those materials for evaluation purposes and for resale to its customers. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating a further extension of the OLED Materials Agreement. Under the OLED Materials Agreement, the Company compensates PPG Industries on a cost-plus basis for the services provided during each calendar quarter. The Company is required to pay for some of these services in cash and for other of the services through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock. Up to 50% of the remaining services are payable, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, with the balance payable in cash. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable to PPG Industries is determined based on the average closing F-17 price for the Company’s common stock during a specified number of days prior to the end of each calendar half-year period ending on March 31 and September 30. If, however, this average closing price is less than $6.00, the Company is required to compensate PPG Industries in cash. The Company is also required under the OLED Materials Agreement to reimburse PPG Industries for raw materials used for research and development. The Company records the purchases of these raw materials as a current asset until such materials are used for research and development efforts. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued to PPG Industries 72,873, 110,839 and 82,669 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, as consideration for services provided by PPG Industries under the OLED Materials Agreement. For these shares, the Company recorded charges of $1,173,346, $1,088,766 and $1,150,714 to expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company also recorded $2,122,882, $2,178,214 and $1,216,954 in expense for the cash portion of the reimbursement of expenses to and work performed by PPG Industries, excluding amounts paid for commercial chemicals, during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. 8. PREFERRED STOCK: The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize it to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time-to-time by the Company’s Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Company’s Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of shareholders of the Company’s common stock. In 1995, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series A Nonconvertible Preferred Stock (Series A) to American Biomimetics Corporation (ABC) pursuant to a certain Technology Transfer Agreement between the Company and ABC. The Series A shares have a liquidation value of $7.50 per share. Series A shareholders, as a single class, have the right to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. This right has never been exercised. Holders of the Series A shares are entitled to one vote per share on matters which shareholders are generally entitled to vote. The Series A shareholders are not entitled to any dividends. 9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY: Effective as of each of March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the Company issued 5,760 shares and, as of December 31, 2010, the Company issued 5,756 shares of fully vested common stock to certain members of its Board of Directors as partial payment for services performed for the periods ended on such dates. The fair value of the shares issued was $284,725, of which $270,523 was recorded as a compensation charge in selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, and $14,202 was accrued for as a corresponding charge for the year ended December 31, 2009. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company issued 22,260 and 21,100 shares of fully vested common stock to members of its Board of Directors. The fair value of the shares issued was $205,905 and $369,250, respectively, which was recorded as a compensation charge in selling, general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, warrants to purchase 586,972 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding. The weighted average exercise price for these warrants was $12.60, and the warrants expire in August 2011. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, warrants to purchase 677,826, 61,024, and 135,415 shares of common stock were exercised, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $9,515,232, $618,783 and $1,187,050, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2010 through March 15, 2011, warrants to purchase 269,676 shares of common stock were exercised, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $3,041,235. In January 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted a total of 59,472, 127,995 and 194,955 shares of fully vested common stock to employees and non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board for services performed in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value of the shares issued was $1,768,493, $1,513,710 and $1,673,352, respectively, for employees and $299,943, $299,979 and $299,997, respectively, for non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board, which amounts were accrued at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In connection with the issuance of these grants, 18,792, 41,259 and 63,372 shares, with a fair value of $655,010, $585,220 and $641,707, were withheld in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The stock awards were recorded as a compensation charge for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 in general and administrative expense in F-18 the amounts of $1,193,545, $1,051,697 and $1,162,221, respectively, and in research and development expense in the amounts of $874,891, $761,992 and $811,128, respectively. 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: Equity Compensation Plan In 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (1995 Plan), under which options to purchase a maximum of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized to be granted at prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Through December 31, 2010, the Company’s shareholders have approved increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan to 7,000,000, and have extended the term of the 1995 Plan through 2015. The 1995 Plan was also amended and restated in 2003, and is now called the Equity Compensation Plan. The Equity Compensation Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights and performance units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Stock options are exercisable over periods determined by the Compensation Committee, but for no longer than 10 years from the grant date. At December 31, 2010, there were 597,167 shares that remained available to be granted under the Equity Compensation Plan. The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2010 for all grants under the Equity Compensation Plan: Weighted Average Exercise Options Price Outstanding at January 1, 2010 Granted Exercised Forfeited Cancelled 2,596,501 10,000 (681,478) — (120,750) Outstanding at December 31, 2010 Vested and expected to vest Exercisable at December 31, 2010 1,804,273 1,804,273 1,804,273 $10.65 9.00 9.69 — 21.08 10.30 10.30 10.30 The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted in 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $3.84, $8.06 and $8.80, respectively. The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model considers assumptions related to volatility, risk-free interest rates, dividend yields and expected life. Expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical daily stock price volatility. The risk-free rate was based on average U.S. Treasury security yields in the quarter of the grant. The dividend yield was based on historical information. The expected life was determined using historical information and management estimates. The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock options for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively: Dividend yield rate Expected volatility Risk-free interest rates Expected life 2010 0% 46.3% 0.2% 0.3 Years 2009 0% 74.8% 3.6% 10 Years 2008 0% 49.4% 2.8% 5 Years The following table summarizes the status of unvested stock options at December 31, 2010, and the weighted- average grant date fair value of these stock options at December 31, 2010: F-19 Unvested options at January 1, 2010 Granted Vested Forfeited Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value $ 10.87 3.84 7.17 — Options 9,000 10,000 (19,000) — Unvested options at December 31, 2010 — $ — A summary of stock options outstanding and exercisable by price range at December 31, 2010 is as follows: Outstanding and Exercisable Number of Options Outstanding at December 31, 2010 Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) 559,515 821,550 423,208 3.08 3.10 3.37 Weighted- Average Exercise Price $ 7.05 9.87 15.44 Aggregate Intrinsic Value (A) $13,206,746 17,073,926 6,436,733 1,804,273 3.16 $10.30 $36,717,405 Exercise Price $ 5.45–8.17 8.18-12.27 12.28–18.42 $ 5.45–18.42 (A) The difference between the stock option’s exercise price and the closing price of the common stock at December 31, 2010. The total intrinsic value of stock awards exercised during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $8,075,057, $2,310,832 and $1,820,464, respectively. The Company recorded as compensation expense related to the vesting of all employee stock options charges of $30,497, $97,145 and $211,348 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2010, 54,650 shares of common stock, valued at $1,500,931, were tendered to net share settle the exercise of options. The Company has issued restricted stock to employees and non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board with vesting terms of one to three years. The fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Expense for restricted stock is amortized ratably over the vesting period for the awards issued to employees and using a graded vesting method for the awards issued to non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded, as compensation charges related to all restricted stock and certain other awards, general and administrative expense of $2,024,507, $993,357 and $647,666, respectively, and research and development expense of $1,421,686, $761,046 and $445,318, respectively. In connection with the vesting of deferred and restricted stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, 40,049, 22,164 and 13,183 shares, with an aggregate fair value of $581,833, $209,685 and $226,710, were withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations. In addition, on January 6, 2011, the Company granted a total of 91,097 shares of restricted common stock to employees and non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board for services to be rendered. The restricted stock had a fair value of $3,168,384 on the date of grant and vests over one to three years from the date of grant. The following table summarizes the stock activity related to restricted stock awards and units and fully vested share based payment awards: F-20 Unvested, January 1, 2010 Granted Vested Cancelled Number of Shares 266,127 787,595 (279,919) — Unvested, December 31, 2010 773,803 Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value $ 12.57 13.54 14.46 — $ 12.87 The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards and units and fully vested shares based payment awards granted was $13.54, $10.12 and $17.53 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On April 7, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The ESPP was approved by the Company’s shareholders and became effective on June 25, 2009. The Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP. Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors, the ESPP will expire when all reserved shares have been issued. Eligible employees may elect to contribute to the ESPP through payroll deductions during consecutive three-month purchase periods, the first of which began on July 1, 2009. Each employee who elects to participate will be deemed to have been granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the first day of the purchase period. Unless the employee opts out during the purchase period, the option will automatically be exercised on the last day of the period, which is the purchase date, based on the employee’s accumulated contributions to the ESPP. The purchase price will equal 85% of the lesser of the price per share of common stock on the first day of the period or the last day of the period. Employees may allocate up to 10% of their base compensation to purchase shares of common stock under the ESPP; however, each employee may purchase no more than 12,500 shares on a given purchase date, and no employee may purchase more than $25,000 of common stock under the ESPP during a given calendar year. For years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company issued 19,583 and 14,056 shares of its common stock under the ESPP, resulting in proceeds of $245,684 and $130,184, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded charges of $26,061 and $15,276 to general and administrative expense and $50,834 and $27,718 to research and development expense, respectively, related to the ESPP equal to the amount of the discount and the value of the look-back feature. 11. SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN On March 18, 2010, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the Universal Display Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), effective as of April 1, 2010. The purpose of the SERP, which is unfunded, is to provide certain of the Company’s executive officers with supplemental pension benefits following a cessation of their employment. As of December 31, 2010 there were five participants in the SERP. The SERP benefit is based on a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary. For this purpose, annual base salary means 12 times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable to the participant during the 24-month period immediately preceding the participant’s date of termination of employment, or, if required, the date of a change in control of the Company. Under the SERP, if a participant resigns or is terminated without cause at or after age 65 and with at least 20 years of service, he or she will be eligible to receive a SERP benefit. The benefit is based on a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary for the life of the participant. This percentage is 50%, 25% or 15%, depending on the participant’s benefit class. All current participants in the SERP are in the 50% benefit class. If a participant resigns at or after age 65 and with at least 15 years of service, he or she will be eligible to receive a prorated SERP benefit. If a participant is terminated without cause or on account of a disability after at least 15 years of service, he or she will be eligible to receive a prorated SERP benefit regardless of age. The prorated benefit in either case F-21 would be based on the participant’s number of years of service (up to 20), divided by 20. In the event a participant is terminated for cause, his or her SERP benefit and any future benefit payments are subject to immediate forfeiture. The SERP benefit is payable in installments over 10 years, beginning at the later of age 65 or the date of the participant’s separation from service. Payments are based on a present value calculation of the benefit amount for the actuarial remaining life expectancy of the participant. This calculation is made as of the date benefit payments are to begin (later of age 65 or separation from service). If the participant dies after reaching age 65, any future or remaining benefit payments are made to the participant’s beneficiary or estate. If the participant dies before reaching age 65, the benefit is forfeited. In the event of a change in control of the Company, each participant will become immediately vested in his or her SERP benefit. Unless the participant’s benefit has already fully vested, if the participant has less than 20 years of service at the time of the change in control, he or she will receive a prorated benefit based on his or her number of years of service (up to 20), divided by 20. If the change in control qualifies as a “change in control event” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, then each participant (including former employees who are entitled to SERP benefits) will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the present value of the benefit immediately upon the change in control. Certain of our executive officers are designated as special participants under the SERP. If these participants resign or are terminated without cause after 20 years of service, or at or after age 65 and with at least 15 years of service, they will be eligible to receive a SERP benefit. If they are terminated without cause or on account of a disability, they will be eligible to receive a prorated SERP benefit regardless of age. The prorated benefit would be based on the participant’s number of years of service (up to 20), divided by 20. The SERP benefit for special participants is based on 50% of their annual base salary for their life and the life of their surviving spouse, if any. Payments are based on a present value calculation of the benefit amount for the actuarial remaining life expectancies of the participant and their surviving spouse, if any. If they die before reaching age 65, the benefit is not forfeited if the surviving spouse, if any, lives until the participant would have reached age 65. If their spouse also dies before the participant would have reached age 65, the benefit is forfeited. The Company records amounts relating to the SERP based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, rate of compensation increases, retirement dates, and life expectancies. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the SERP benefits. In connection with the initiation of the SERP, the Company recorded cost related to prior service of $5,611,079 as accumulated other comprehensive loss. The prior service cost is being amortized as a component of net periodic pension cost over the average of the remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. The prior service cost expected to be amortized for year ended December 31, 2011 is $584,487. Information relating to the Company’s plan is as follows: Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, upon plan adoption Service cost Interest cost Actuarial loss Benefit obligation, end of year Fair value of plan assets Unfunded status of the plan, end of year Current liability Noncurrent liability Year Ended December 31, 2010 $ 5,611,079 331,837 256,041 878,944 7,077,901 — $ 7,077,901 $ — 7,077,901 The accumulated benefit obligation for the plan was $5,890,000 as of December 31, 2010. F-22 The components of net periodic pension cost were as follows: Service cost Interest cost Amortization of prior service cost Total net periodic benefit cost Year Ended December 31, 2010 $ 331,837 256,041 438,366 $ 1,026,244 The measurement date is the Company’s fiscal year end. The net periodic pension cost is based on assumptions determined at the prior year end measurement date. Assumptions used to determine the year end benefit obligation were as follows: Discount rate Rate of compensation increases Year Ended December 31, 2010 5.44% 3.5% Assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension cost were as follows: Discount rate Rate of compensation increases Year Ended December 31, 2010 6.13% 3.5% Actuarial losses are amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost over future years based upon the average remaining service period of active plan participants, when the accumulation of such losses exceeds 10% of the year end benefit obligation. The cost or benefit of plan changes that increase or decrease benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost(credit)) is included in the Company’s results of operations on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. The estimated amounts to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the net periodic pension cost in 2011 are as follows: Amortization of prior service cost Amortization of loss Total $ 584,000 16,000 $ 600,000 Benefit payments, which reflect estimated future service, are currently expected to be paid as follows: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016-2020 Thereafter Year Projected Benefits $ — 195,000 467,000 467,000 467,000 4,098,000 14,902,000 F-23 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Commitments Under the 2006 Research Agreement with USC, the Company is obligated to make certain payments to USC based on work performed by USC under that agreement, and by Michigan under its subcontractor agreement with USC. See Note 3 for further explanation. Under the terms of the 1997 Amended License Agreement, the Company is required to make minimum royalty payments to Princeton. See Note 3 for further explanation. The Company has agreements with six executive officers which provide for certain cash and other benefits upon termination of employment of the officer in connection with a change in control of the Company. Each executive is entitled to a lump-sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of the average annual base salary and bonus of the officer and immediate vesting of all stock options and other equity awards that may be outstanding at the date of the change in control, among other items. Opposition to European Patent No. 0946958 On December 8, 2006, Cambridge Display Technology, Ltd. (CDT), which was acquired in 2007 by Sumitomo Chemical Company (Sumitomo), filed a Notice of Opposition to European Patent No. 0946958 (EP ‘958 patent). The EP ‘958 patent, which was issued on March 8, 2006, is a European counterpart patent to U.S. patents 5,844,363, 6,602,540, 6,888,306 and 7,247,073. These patents relate to the Company’s FOLED® flexible OLED technology. They are exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and under the license agreement the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. The European Patent Office (EPO) conducted an Oral Hearing in this matter on October 6, 2009. No representative from CDT attended the Oral Hearing. At the conclusion of the Oral Hearing, the EPO panel announced its decision to reject the opposition and to maintain the patent as granted. The minutes of the Oral Hearing were dispatched on October 27, 2009, and the EPO issued its official decision on November 26, 2009. CDT filed an appeal to the EPO decision on January 25, 2010. CDT timely filed its grounds for the appeal with the EPO on or about April 1, 2010. The EPO set August 12, 2010 as the due date for filing the Company’s reply to this appeal. The Company’s reply was timely filed. At this time, based on its current knowledge, Company management believes that the EPO decision will be upheld on appeal. However, Company management cannot make any assurances of this result. Opposition to European Patent No. 1449238 On March 8, 2007, Sumation Company Limited (Sumation), a joint venture between Sumitomo and CDT, filed a first Notice of Opposition to European Patent No. 1449238 (EP ‘238 patent). The EP ‘238 patent, which was issued on November 2, 2006, is a European counterpart patent, in part, to U.S. patents 6,830,828; 6,902,830; 7,001,536; 7,291,406 and 7,537,844; and to pending U.S. patent application 12/434,259, filed on May 1, 2009. These patents and this patent application relate to the Company’s UniversalPHOLED® phosphorescent OLED technology. They are exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and under the license agreement the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. Two other parties filed additional oppositions to the EP ‘238 patent just prior to the August 2, 2007 expiration date for such filings. On July 24, 2007, Merck Patent GmbH, of Darmstadt, Germany, filed a second Notice of Opposition to the EP ‘238 patent, and on July 27, 2007, BASF Aktiengesellschaft, of Mannheim, Germany, filed a third Notice of Opposition to the EP ‘238 patent. The EPO combined all three oppositions into a single opposition proceeding. The EPO set a January 6, 2008 due date for the Company to file its response to the opposition. The Company requested a two-month extension to file this response, which the Company subsequently filed in a timely manner. The Company is still waiting for the EPO to notify it of the date of the Oral Hearing. The Company is also waiting to see whether the other parties in the opposition file any additional documents, to which the Company may respond. F-24 At this time, Company management cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the opposition. However, based on its current knowledge, Company management believes there is a substantial likelihood that the patent being challenged will be declared valid, and that all or a significant portion of its claims will be upheld. Invalidation Trial in Japan for Japan Patent No. 3992929 On April 19, 2010, the Company received a copy of a Notice of Invalidation Trial from the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) for its Japan Patent No. 3992929 (JP ‘929 patent), which was issued on August 3, 2007. The request for the Invalidation Trial was filed by Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd., of Kanagawa, Japan. The JP ‘929 patent is a Japanese counterpart patent, in part, to the above-noted EP ‘238 patent and to the above-noted family of U.S. patents 6,830,828; 6,902,830; 7,001,536; 7,291,406 and 7,537,844; and to pending U.S. patent application 12/434,259, filed on May 1, 2009. On August 24, 2010, the JPO issued a Notice for an Oral Hearing in this matter, which was held on November 16, 2010. On February 28, 2011, the Company learned that the JPO had issued a decision recognizing its invention and upholding the validity of most of the claims, but finding the broadest claims in the patent invalid. Company management believes that the JPO’s decision invalidating these claims was erroneous. The Company is still waiting to receive a translated copy of the JPO’s decision, after which it plans to appeal this portion of the decision to the Japanese IP High Court. At this time, based on its current knowledge, Company management believes that the JPO decision invalidating certain claims in our JP ‘929 patent should be overturned on appeal. However, Company management cannot make any assurances of this result. Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870 On about April 20, 2010, five European companies filed Notices of Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870 (EP ‘270 patent). The EP ‘270 patent, which was issued on July 22, 2009, is a European counterpart patent, in part, to U.S. patents 6,303,238; 6,579,632; 6,872,477; 7,279,235; 7,279,237; 7,488,542 and 7,563,519; and to pending U.S. patent application 12/489,045, filed on June 22, 2009. These patents and this patent application relate to the Company’s PHOLED technology. They are exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and under the license agreement the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. The five companies are Merck Patent GmbH, of Darmstadt, Germany; BASF Schweitz AG of Basel, Switzerland; Osram GmbH of Munich, Germany; Siemens Aktiengesellschaft of Munich, Germany; and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., of Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The EPO combined the oppositions into a single opposition proceeding and set October 4, 2010 as the due date for the Company to file its response, subject to extension. The Company requested a two-month extension to file this response, and the Company subsequently filed its response in a timely manner. The Company is still waiting for the EPO to notify it of the date of the Oral Hearing. The Company is also waiting to see whether any of the other parties in the opposition file additional documents, to which the Company may respond. At this time, Company management cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the oppositions. However, based on its current knowledge, Company management believes there is a substantial likelihood that the patent being challenged will be declared valid, and that all or a significant portion of its claims will be upheld. Invalidation Trials in Japan for Japan Patent Nos. 4357781 and 4358168 On May 24, 2010, the Company received copies of two additional Notices of Invalidation Trials against Japan Patent Nos. 4357781 (JP ‘781 patent) and 4358168 (JP ‘168 patent), which were both issued on August 14, 2009. The requests for these two additional Invalidation Trials were also filed by Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd., of Kanagawa, Japan. The JP ‘781 and ‘168 patents are also Japanese counterpart patents, in part, to the above-noted family of U.S. patents 6,830,828; 6,902,830; 7,001,536; 7,291,406 and 7,537,844; and to pending U.S. patent application 12/434,259, filed on May 1, 2009. Under its license agreement with Princeton, the Company is also required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with these two proceedings. The JPO set a due date of August 18, 2010 for the Company to file its response to the evidence and arguments submitted with the requests for the Invalidation Trials. The Company requested and the JPO granted a 30-day extension for the Company to file its response, which was timely filed. F-25 Additional written statements were filed in January 2011 in response to a request by the JPO, addressing points that were expected to be raised by the JPO at the Oral Hearing that was held on February 1, 2011. Another written statement was submitted in February 2011 to address additional points raised at the Oral Hearing. At this time, Company management cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the Invalidation Trials. However, based on its current knowledge, Company management believes there is a substantial likelihood that the patents being challenged will both be declared valid, and that all or a significant portion of their claims will be upheld. Interference involving Claims 48-52 of US Patent No. 6,902,830 Patent Interference No. 105,771 was declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on November 17, 2010 between The University of Southern California and The Trustees of Princeton University, Junior Party, (The Universities) and Fujifilm Holding Corporation (Fuji), Senior Party. The dispute is between The Universities’ U.S. Patent No 6,902,830 (’830 patent), claims 48-52, and Fuji’s Patent Application No. 11/802,492, claims 1-5. The ‘830 patent relates to the Company’s UniversalPHOLED® phosphorescent OLED technology. It is exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and under the license agreement the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. The USPTO declares an interference when two or more parties claim the same patentable invention. The objective of an interference is to contest which party, if any, has both a right to participate in the proceeding and a right to the claimed invention and, if more than one party does, then to contest which party has the earliest priority date for the claimed invention. At a telephone hearing on January 28, 2011, the Universities were authorized to file seven motions, which all have a due date of April 29, 2011. The Company is currently preparing to file these motions. At this time, Company management cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of the Interference. However, based on its current knowledge, Company management believes there is a substantial likelihood that its claims 48- 52 of the ‘830 patent will prevail. Request for an Invalidation Trial in Korea for Patent No. 10-0998059 On March 10, 2011, the Company received informal notice from its Korean patent counsel of a Request for an Invalidation Trial from the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) for its Korean Patent No. 10-0998059 (KR ‘059 patent), which was issued on November 26, 2010. The Company does not yet know who filed the request. The KR ‘059 patent is a Korean counterpart patent to the OVJP Organic Vapor Jet Printing family of U.S. patents originating from US 7,431,968. At this time, Company management cannot make any prediction as to the probable outcome of this Invalidation Trial. 13. CONCENTRATION OF RISK: Contract research revenue, which is included in developmental revenue in the accompanying statement of operations, of $4,939,546, $4,373,316, and $2,815,062 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, has been derived from contracts with United States government agencies. Revenues derived from contracts with government agencies represented 16%, 28% and 25% of the consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues and accounts receivable from our largest non-government customers for the years ended December 31 were as follows: 2010 2009 2008 Customer A B C % of Total Revenue 35% 23% —% Accounts Receivable $2,635,290 2,246,295 — % of Total Revenue 31% 9% 10% Accounts Receivable $ 528,150 630,800 — % of Total Revenue 42% 1% 2% Accounts Receivable $ 657,000 13,000 — F-26 The Company’s relationships with customers A and B are under agreements that are presently scheduled to expire within the next twelve months. Revenues from outside of North America represented 82%, 70% and 72% of the consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. All chemical materials were purchased from one supplier. See Note 7. 14. INCOME TAXES: The components of the income tax benefit are as follows: Current income tax benefit (expense): Federal State Foreign Deferred income tax benefit: Federal State Foreign Year ended December 31, 2010 2009 2008 $ — 464,162 (329,813) 134,349 — — — — $ 104,428 25,487 — 129,915 $ — 962,478 — 962,478 — — — — — — — — Income tax benefit $ 134,349 $ 129,915 $ 962,478 The difference between the Company’s federal statutory income tax rate and its effective income tax rate is primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance, as well as state income tax benefits, foreign withholding tax, non-deductible expenses and general business credits. Substantially all of the Company’s loss before income tax benefit is derived from domestic operations. The Company’s valuation allowance increased $7,072,000, $11,232,000, and $7,692,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss and credit carry forwards. The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards differ from the accumulated deficit principally due to the timing of the recognition of certain expenses. A portion of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards relate to tax deductions from stock-based compensation that would be accounted for as an increase to additional-paid-in-capital for financial reporting purposes to the extent such future deductions could be utilized by the Company. In accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and general business credit carry forwards could be subject to limitations because of certain ownership changes. The following table summarizes Company tax loss and tax credit carry forwards at December 31, 2010: Related Tax Deduction Deferred Tax Asset Expiration Date Loss carry forwards: Federal net operating loss State net operating loss $ 176,277,000 129,820,000 $ 59,934,000 7,695,000 2011 to 2030 2011 to 2030 Total loss carry forwards $ 306,097,000 $ 67,629,000 Tax credit carry forwards: Research tax credit State tax credits n/a n/a $ 6,451,000 1,943,000 2020 to 2030 2019 to 2025 Total credit carry forwards n/a $ 8,394,000 F-27 Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows: Gross deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry forwards Capitalized technology license Stock options and warrants Accruals and reserves Deferred revenue Other Tax credit carry forward Valuation allowance Net deferred tax asset December 31, 2010 2009 $ 67,629,000 3,811,000 411,000 3,290,000 3,235,000 827,000 8,394,000 $ 64,723,000 3,769,000 83,000 418,000 4,105,000 635,000 6,792,000 87,597,000 (87,597,000) 80,525,000 (80,525,000) $ — $ — During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received federal cash refunds of $104,428 related to research and development credits. The Company also received state cash refunds of $25,487 from claims for overpaid New Jersey Alternative Minimum Assessment tax for taxable years 2003 to 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2008, the Company sold approximately $3.8 million and $12.5 million, respectively, of its net state operating losses and $194,000 and $0 of its research and development tax credits under the New Jersey Technology Tax Certificate Transfer Program, and received net proceeds of $464,162 and $962,478, respectively, during these years. The Company recorded the proceeds as an income tax benefit. During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company paid foreign withholding taxes on South Korean royalty income of $329,813 which was recorded as current income tax expense. A valuation allowance has been established for all of the deferred tax assets because the Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to incur additional losses in 2011. At this time, Company management has concluded that these deferred tax assets are not realizable. The Company does not have any liability recorded for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Company management does not anticipate any material change in its uncertain tax positions in the next twelve months. The Company’s federal income tax returns for 2007 through 2010 are open tax years and are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. State tax years (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Idaho and California) that remain open to examination range from 2006 to 2010. The Company filed for and was granted a five-year exemption on withholding tax on royalty payments received from Samsung SMD under its patent license agreement as part of a tax incentive program in Korea. The exemption was granted in May 2005 and remained in effect until May 2010. Since then, Samsung SMD has been required to withhold tax upon payment of royalties to the Company. In 2010, the withholding tax rate for royalty payments made by Samsung SMD was 16.5%. 15. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN: The Company maintains the Universal Display Corporation 401(k) Plan (Plan) in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The Plan covers substantially all full-time employees of the Company. Participants may contribute up to 15% of their total compensation to the Plan, not to exceed the limit as defined in the Code, with the Company matching 50% of the participant’s contribution, limited to 6% of the participant’s total compensation. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company contributed $245,026, $230,395 and $200,956, respectively, to the Plan. F-28 16. QUARTERLY SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED): The following tables present certain unaudited consolidated quarterly financial information for each of the eight quarters in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of Company management, this quarterly information has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements and includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information for the periods presented.

In 2010, the AMOLED display market more than doubled. As a world- leading OLED technology developer and material supplier, Universal Display has been a key player in fostering this market. In 2010, we saw our revenues double, to over $30M, with the adoption of our technology and materials mirroring the expansion of the market. Throughout the year, AMOLED displays powered by our UniversalPHOLED ® technology and materials became an increasingly desirable feature in handheld portable devices— especially smartphones which saw tremendous market acceptance and growth potential in 2011. Samsung announced that over 10M units of the Gala xy S— its be s t s el li ng smartphone—had shipped globally in just seven months. With the large capital investments being made by our customers, such as Samsung SMD, LG Display and AU Optronics, we expect to see continued proliferation of OLED displays in the next few years. In addition to small-area displays, Samsung showcased a Galaxy Tab prototype with a 7-inch AMOLED display at FPD 2010 in Japan. In 2010, these companies also demonstrated beautiful OLED TV prototypes using our UniversalPHOLED technology and materials at numerous industry events. During the year, we made technological advances across our broad portfolio of proprietary OLED technologies. With our red UniversalPHOLED material systems in widespread commercial use, we worked closely with our customers and our longstanding supply partner, PPG Industries, Inc., to ready new green material systems for commercial introduction. We introduced a new light-blue UniversalPHOLED material system that enabled the demonstration of a novel, all-phosphorescent, four sub-pixel OLED display architecture. This system allowed us to achieve significant improvements in our white OLED performance. We continued our work on material systems for solution-based processing, reporting that our UniversalP2OLED™ material systems are now approaching the efficiencies of PHOLEDs made by vacuum thermal evaporation. Universal Display’s proprietary flexible OLED technology also moved closer to commercial reality in 2010. We delivered a set of wrist-mounted, flexible PHOLED display prototypes—jointly developed with LG Display and L-3 Display Systems—to the U.S. Army for field-testing. Recognizing the potential of our proprietary encapsulation technology for use with flexible displays and other flexible electronics, the National Science Foundation awarded us an SBIR Phase II contract to accelerate our work in this area. To hasten the commercialization of white OLEDs for lighting, Universal Display advanced a number of important initiatives in 2010. We were awarded a $4M U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) contract with Moser Baer Technologies (MBT), a subsidiary of Moser Baer India Limited, for MBT to design and build a white OLED pilot manufacturing facility. Under the new program, we will demonstrate the scalability of our proprietary UniversalPHOLED technology and materials for the manufacture of white OLED lighting panels by MBT. This facility—the first of its kind in the United States—is a major milestone toward developing a manufacturing base and seeding the market for OLED lighting products. During the year, we continued to support the development efforts of OLED lighting companies like Konica Minolta, LG Chem, NEC Lighting, Panasonic Electric Works and Showa Denko. We teamed with Acuity Brands, a leading luminaire manufacturer, to demonstrate a prototype lighting system using PHOLED panels under a $2M DOE SBIR Phase III contract. Our team also made big strides in white PHOLED lighting performance, with significant progress toward reaching Energy Star targets for general lighting. In fact, for the fourth year in a row, the DOE honored Universal Display for its technical achievements in this area. Today, we are proud of the business agreements we have forged with world-leading manufacturers. To support our partners as their products come to market, we continue to expand our international footprint. In addition to collaborating with a number of universities and material developers, we formed subsidiaries in South Korea and Japan and hired additional technical staff to better meet the needs of our customers in these countries. 2010 was a record year for the company. As a result of doubling our revenues from $15.8M in 2009 to $30.5M in 2010, our operating performance improved significantly. The operating loss decreased to $10.2M compared to $20.3M in 2009. Due mainly to non-cash expenses associated with outstanding warrants, the net loss for the year was $19.9M compared to a net loss of $20.5M for 2009. In addition, we used only $4.2M of cash for operating activities. We ended the year with a strong balance sheet—debt free and with $73M in cash and short-term investments. On March 30, 2011, we completed a public offering of 5,750,000 shares of common stock, with the underwriting led by Goldman, Sachs & Co. The offering added approximately $250M to our balance sheet. Thanks to a diverse team of talented engineers, scientists and business professionals from 18 countries, over 1,000 patents issued and pending worldwide, state-of-the-art research facilities and financial stability, we enter 2011 ready to meet the needs of a flourishing OLED industry. With a business model primarily based on technology licensing and UniversalPHOLED material sales, we are well positioned for future growth. As we look ahead, we are poised for profitability and increased shareholder return. Sherwin I. Seligsohn Steven V.
