to our sHareHolders

2013 was an extraordinary year for universal display corporation. 
operationally, the development and delivery of our industry-leading 
phosphorescent oled technologies and materials enabled us to 
expand market share, validated our years of r&d investment, and 
robustly positioned us for the oled market’s growing opportunities. 
financially, we achieved record revenues and generated our  
strongest year of cash flow from operations. driven by the  
commercial adoption of our green universalpHoled® emitters 
and hosts, the fortification of our r&d strengths and the expansion 
of our intellectual property portfolio, we are confident that we are 
poised to build on our materials expertise and further strengthen 
our market position and financial health.

founded on the r&d mission to develop and commercialize key 
technologies for oleds, we continue to target new opportunities 
for growth as we leverage our intellectual property, materials, and 
growing product portfolio. over the past few years, we have made 
tremendous progress in improving our phosphorescent oled 
(pHoled) technology and materials, as we believe pHoled is the 
key to oled technology’s success. our green universalpHoled 
materials, for example, could reduce an oled display’s power  
consumption by approximately 25%, translating into better battery 
life while maintaining a bright, beautiful and vibrant image. in the 
first quarter of 2013, our proprietary green pHoled materials 
were commercially adopted, with the potential to more than triple 
our revenue opportunity in the oled stack. 

indicative of our success, we achieved record revenues of  
$146.6 million for 2013, a 76% increase from the previous year’s 
$83.2 million. Material sales more than doubled year over year to 
$95.7 million while operating profit rose from $13.7 million in 2012  
to a new high of $38.2 million in 2013. our net income increased  
to $74.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share. net income for the year 
included a total deferred income tax benefit of $41.4 million.  
excluding this amount, our 2013 adjusted net income was  
$32.6 million, or $0.70 per adjusted diluted share*. during the  
year, we generated an impressive $45.0 million of cash flow  
from operations and completed 2013 with $273 million in cash 
and short-term investments. our performance is a testament  
to our continued research and development efforts, strategic  
positioning, strong ip portfolio, high-performance, quality-assured 
oled materials, and the innovation and expertise of our  
employees and partners. 

our strong corporate performance continues to attract industry 
attention. deloitte’s technology fast 500™ ranked universal 
display corporation 170th on a list of the 500 fastest growing 
technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and clean 
technology companies in north america, our ninth time, and sixth 
consecutive year, appearing on the list. We were also named  
Master technology company of the year by the new Jersey  
technology council (nJtc) in recognition of our long-term financial 
performance, innovation, and successful commercialization of 
oled technologies and materials. in June, to further reinforce our 
position as the world’s leading oled technology and materials 
company, we changed our nasdaq ticker symbol to “oled.”

and we’re working to channel this momentum into expanding 
opportunities, as the oled market demonstrated tremendous 
near and long-term growth potential during 2013. the increased 
demand for our oled products spurred ppg industries, our 
exclusive manufacturer of universalpHoled materials, to open  
a second, world-class oled materials production facility at the 
company’s Barberton, ohio plant. the state-of-the-art facility began 
production qualification in early november, and it will allow us to 
deliver greater quantities of our products in order to keep pace 
with the growing oled display and lighting industries. in addition 
to this new important manufacturing capability, we also expanded 
our ewing, new Jersey corporate headquarters by 13,000 square 
feet to support our growth. these new facilities illustrate our  
commitment to remaining an industry leader positioned to  
develop tomorrow’s innovative breakthroughs.

around the world, we are working to advance our phosphorescent  
oled technologies and materials to meet our customers’ roadmaps 
for existing and future products, including flexible displays, tvs, 
and energy efficient lighting. We are also expanding our technology 
portfolio to pursue new avenues of growth in the oled stack and 
through long-term projects, such as single-layer barrier encapsulation 
and organic vapor jet printing (ovJp). these r&d innovations  
allowed us to bolster our global oled intellectual property framework 
and end the year with 3,318 issued and pending u.s. and foreign 
patent applications, up from 3,035 at the end of 2012. 

still in the early chapters of our exciting oled story, we are  
enthusiastic for the promising growth that lies ahead of us.  
We believe that broader opportunities for oled penetration  
avail in applications such as mid-end smartphones, high-end  
tablets, the commercialization of oled tvs, and wearable  
displays, including smart watches. additionally, samsung display 
and lg display’s recent introduction of conformable panels has 
the potential to redefine the types of display substrates (to include 
plastic and metal foil) used and evolve form factors from rigid to 
curved, and eventually to fully flexible, bendable, and roll-able.  
in lighting, we recently signed new customer agreements and 
expect development activity to intensify as oled lighting panel 
production projects ramp up. 

We are proud of what we accomplished in 2013. We thank our 
employees, the core of our success, for their hard work, steadfast 
commitment, and inventiveness. to our global customers and 
partners, we thank you for the collaborations that result in amazing 
new oled applications and products. and to our shareholders, 
we thank you for your continued support. We hope that you are 
pleased with how our company is evolving and performing and 
that you share our excitement for the growing role we expect to 
play in a new era of display and lighting technologies. We look 
forward to working toward an even more successful year in 2014.

ITEM 1.  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, form factor 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  operating  temperature  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 (1) 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; and  (2)  develop  new  OLED  materials  and  sell  the  materials  to  those  product 
manufacturers. Through  our  internal  research  and  development  efforts,  our  relationships  with  world-class  partners  such  as 
Princeton  University  (Princeton),  the  University  of  Southern  California  (USC),  the  University  of  Michigan  (Michigan)  and 
PPG  Industries,  Inc.  (PPG  Industries),  and  acquisitions  of  patents  and  patent  applications,  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 3,000 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 computer monitors and televisions. 

Liquid  crystal  displays,  or  LCDs,  continue  to  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; 

•   deposition on non-rigid substrates which enables conformable and flexible displays; 

•  

•  

faster response times for video; and 

lower cost manufacturing methods and materials. 

Based on these characteristics, product manufacturers have adopted small-area OLED displays for use in portable electronic 
devices,  such as smartphones and tablets. Manufacturers are also  working to commercialize  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 for wearable, industrial and ruggedized applications.

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 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. 

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  a  variety  of  lighting  products,  such  as  traffic  lights,  billboards, 
replacements  for  incandescent  lighting,  backlights  for  computer  monitors  and  televisions,  and  as  border  or  accent 
lighting. However,  the  high  operating  temperatures  and  intense  brightness  of  LEDs  may  make  them  less  desirable  for  many 
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 added to 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.  Along  with  our  research  partners,  we  have  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 LCDs,  which are 
illuminated using backlights. We believe that our phosphorescent OLED technologies and materials 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. 

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, acquisitions, and our relationships with world-class 
partners such as Princeton, USC, Michigan and PPG Industries, we own, exclusively license or have the sole right to sublicense 
more than 3,000 patents issued and pending worldwide. In 2011, we purchased 74 issued U.S. patents from Motorola Solutions, 
Inc. (f/k/a Motorola, Inc.) (Motorola), together with foreign counterparts in various countries, which patents we had previously 
licensed from Motorola, and in 2012, we acquired the entire worldwide patent portfolio of more than 1,200 OLED patents and 
patent  applications  of  Fujifilm  Corporation  (Fujifilm)  for  a  total  cost  of  $109.1  million. 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. 

3 

 
Licenses with Key Product Manufacturers 

We have licensed our OLED technologies and patents to several manufacturers for use in commercial products. In July 2012, 
Samsung  Mobile  Display  Co.  Ltd.  (SMD)  merged  with  Samsung  Display  Co.,  Ltd.  (SDC).  Following  the  merger,  all 
agreements  between  us  and  SMD  were  assigned  to  SDC,  and  SDC  is  obligated  to  honor  all  pre-existing  agreements  made 
between us and SMD.  In 2011, we entered into a new license agreement with SDC for its manufacture of active matrix OLED 
(AMOLED)  display  products,  which  agreement  superseded  our  prior  license  agreement  with  SDC. We  also  have  license 
agreements  with  Lumiotec,  Inc.  (Lumiotec),  Pioneer  Corporation  (Pioneer)  and  Kaneka  Corporation  (Kaneka)  for  the 
manufacture  of  OLED  lighting  products,  as  well  as  a  collaborative  arrangement  with  Moser  Baer Technologies,  Inc.  (Moser 
Baer) to support its development and manufacture of OLED lighting products. Additionally, we have license agreements with 
Showa  Denko  K.K.  (Showa  Denko)  for  its  manufacture  of  OLED  lighting  products  by  solution  processing  methods  (2009), 
Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. (Konica Minolta) for its manufacture of OLED lighting products (2008) and DuPont Displays 
for  its  manufacture  of  solution-processed  OLED  display  products  using  proprietary  OLED  materials  obtained  through  us 
(2002). 

Leading Supplier of UniversalPHOLED Emitter Materials 

We are the leading supplier of phosphorescent emitter materials to OLED product manufacturers. The emitter material, which 
is designed to efficiently convert electrical energy to a desired wavelength of light, is the key component in an OLED device. 
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. 

Complementary UniversalPHOLED Host Material Business 

We  supply  certain  of  our  proprietary  phosphorescent  host  materials  to  OLED  product  manufacturers.  In  one  design,  the 
emitter  material  is  disbursed  into  a  host  material,  with  the  resulting  mixture  consisting  of  predominantly  host  material. PPG 
Industries also currently is responsible for the manufacture of our proprietary host materials for us, which we then qualify and 
resell to our customers. We believe that host material sales can be complementary to our phosphorescent emitter material sales 
business; however,  our  OLED  product  manufacturing  customers  are  not  required  to  purchase  our  host  materials  in  order  to 
utilize  our  phosphorescent  emitter  materials.  In  addition,  the  host  material  business  is  more  competitive  than  the 
phosphorescent emitter material sales business. This means our long-term prospects for host material sales are uncertain. 

Established Material Supply Relationships 

We have established relationships with well-known manufacturers that are using, or are evaluating, our OLED materials for 
use in commercial products. In 2013, SDC, LG Display Co., Ltd. (LG Display), Tohoku Pioneer Corporation (Tohoku Pioneer) 
and Konica Minolta purchased our proprietary OLED materials for use in commercial OLED display and lighting products. We 
continue  to  work  with  many  product  manufacturers  that  are  evaluating  our  OLED  materials  and  technologies  for  use  in 
commercial OLED displays and lighting products, including AU Optronics Corporation (AU Optronics), Innolux Corporation 
(Innolux)  (formerly  Chimei  Innolux  Corporation  (CMI)),  BOE  Technology  Group  Co.,  Ltd.  (BOE),  Kaneka,  Philips 
Technologic GmbH (Philips) and Sony Corporation (Sony). 

U.S. Government Program Support 

We perform work under 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.  As  OLED  technology  continues  to 
prosper in the marketplace, U.S. Government funding will likely decline. 

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  promote  and  continue  to  expand  our  portfolio  of  OLED  technologies  and  materials  for 
widespread use in OLED displays and lighting products. We generate revenues primarily by licensing our OLED technologies 
and  selling  our  proprietary  OLED  materials  to  display  and  lighting  product  manufacturers. We  are  presently  focused  on  the 
following steps to implement our business strategy: 

4 

 
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 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  and  lighting, 
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: 

•  

•  

•  

sales of OLED materials for evaluation, development and commercial manufacturing; 

intellectual property and technology licensing; and 

technology development and support, including government contract work and support provided to third 
parties for commercialization of their OLED products. 

Most  manufacturers  of  flat  panel  displays  and  lighting  products  who  are  or  might  potentially  be  interested  in  our  OLED 
technologies and materials are currently located outside of the United States, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. To provide 
on-the-ground  support  to  these  manufacturers,  we  have  established  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  in  Ireland,  Korea,  Japan  and 
Hong  Kong  as  well  as  a  representative  office  in  Taiwan. Our  subsidiary  in  Hong  Kong  operates  a  world-class  chemistry 
laboratory to support our expanding research and development initiatives in OLED materials and technologies. Our subsidiary 
in  Ireland  is  responsible  for  all  material  sales  world-wide  (excluding  the  United  States)  and  for  licensing  and  managing 
intellectual property and undertaking certain other business transactions in all non-U.S. territories. 

We receive a  majority of our revenues from customers that are domiciled outside of the United States, and our business is 
heavily dependent on our relationships with these customers. In particular, one of our key customers located in the Asia-Pacific 
region, SDC, accounted for more than 60% of our consolidated revenues for 2013. Substantially all revenue derived from our 
customers is denominated in U.S. dollars. 

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 Technology and its Relation to OLED Technology and Structure 

OLED  devices  are  solid-state  semiconductor  devices  made  from  thin  films  of  organic  material  that  emit  light  of  various 
wavelengths when electricity is selectively applied to the emissive layer of the device. OLED devices are typically referred  to 
as  incorporating  an  “OLED  stack.”  OLED  stacks  vary  in  specific  structure  but  those  commonly  used  today  may  include  a 
cathode, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, an emissive layer, a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer 
and an anode, all of which are placed on a substrate  which may be made of a number of different materials, including glass, 
plastic and metal. 

5 

 
Our technology and materials are most commonly utilized in the emissive layer; the materials in the emissive layer are the 
light-generating  component  of  the  OLED  stack.  Many  of  our  key  technologies  relate  primarily  to  phosphorescent  emitter 
materials, which we believe are more energy efficient than fluorescent emitter materials that can also be used to generate light 
within the emissive layer of the OLED device. We began selling emitter materials commercially in 2003. A manufacturer will 
use  a  small  amount  of  emitter  material  for  each  device  through  a  process  called  “doping”  into  a  host  material.  The  emitter 
material(s) and the host material(s) together form an emissive layer system. Depending on the nature of the OLED device, the 
emissive  materials and emissive layer system may be designed to emit different colors. We have commercially produced and 
sold phosphorescent emitter materials that produce red, yellow, green and light-blue light, which are combined in various ways 
for the flat panel display and the lighting market. 

Our  current  materials  business,  conducted  outside  the  United  States  by  our  Irish  subsidiary,  is  focused  primarily  on  the 
delivery  of  such  emissive  materials.  We  have  also  developed  host  materials  for  the  emissive  layer  and  began  selling  them 
commercially in 2011. In addition to our materials, which are protected by patents covering various molecular structures, we 
also  have  fundamental  and  important  patents  that  cover  various  aspects  of  the  OLED  device,  including  the  use  of 
phosphorescent emission in an OLED device, flexible OLEDs, lighting, encapsulation, and methods of manufacturing OLEDs. 
These patents are important to our licensing business because they enable us to provide our business partners important OLED 
related technology. 

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 useful in displays for 
hand-held devices, such as smartphones, 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  which  we  market  under  the  UniversalPHOLED®  brand. We  devote  a 
substantial portion of our efforts to developing new and improved proprietary PHOLED materials and device architectures for 
red, green, yellow, blue and white OLED devices. In 2013, we continued our commercial supply relationships with companies 
such as SDC and LG Display to use our UniversalPHOLED® 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. 

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: 

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 has the potential to enhance durability and enable 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  as  well  as  enhancing  the  usefulness  of  such  devices  in  ruggedized, 
industrial  and  wearable  computing  systems.  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). 

Thin-Film Encapsulation 

We have developed proprietary, patented encapsulation technology for the packaging of flexible OLEDs and other thin-film 
devices,  as  well  as  for  use  as  a  barrier  film  for  plastic  substrates.  Addressing  a  major  roadblock  to  the  successful 
commercialization of flexible OLEDs, our hybrid, single-layer approach provides barrier performance useful for OLEDs using 
a  potentially  cost-effective  process.  In  addition  to  accelerating  the  commercial  viability  of  flexible  OLEDs,  our  thin-film 
encapsulation  technology  has  the  potential  to  provide  benefits  for  a  variety  of  other  flexible  thin-film  devices,  including 
photovoltaics and thin-film batteries.

UniversalP2OLED® Printable Phosphorescent OLEDs 

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  involves  solution  processing  of  the 
various  organic  materials  in  an  OLED  using  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 Corporation. 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 

OLEDs can be manufactured using other processes as well, including OVJP. 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  reduces  OLED 
material waste 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.  OVJP  also  avoids  generation  of  solvent  wastes  and 
eliminates the additional step of removing residual solvent from the OLED device. 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. 

OVPD® Organic Vapor Phase Deposition 

Another approach for manufacturing a small molecule OLED is based on OVPD. 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  or  solution  processing  methods  through  more  efficient 
materials utilization and enhanced deposition control. We have licensed 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. 

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. 

Our Strategic Relationships with Product Manufacturers 

We  have  established  early-stage  evaluation  programs,  development  and  pre-commercial  programs,  and  commercial 
arrangements with a substantial number of 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: 

SDC 

We have been working with SDC and providing our next generation PHOLED materials to SDC for evaluation since 2001. In 
2011, we entered into a patent license agreement with SDC for its manufacture and sale of AMOLED display products which

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  2012,  our  OLED  materials  business  received 
recertification 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. In  2011,  we  entered  into  an  agreement 
with  PPG  Industries,  the  term  of  which  continues  through  December  31,  2015  and  shall  be  automatically  renewed  for 
additional  one  year  terms,  unless  terminated  by  us  with  prior  notice  of  one  year  or  terminated  by  PPG  Industries  with  prior 
notice of two  years. 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 raw materials we require for our emitter and host materials are available from multiple sources and historically, we 
have not had any issues with obtaining access to adequate amounts of any key raw materials. 

Our OLED Material Customers 

Throughout  2013,  we  continued  supplying  our  proprietary  UniversalPHOLED  materials  to  SDC  for  use  in  its  commercial 
AMOLED display products and for its development efforts. SDC is currently the largest manufacturer of AMOLED displays 
for  handset  and  other  personal  electronic  devices.  SDC’s  customers  for  these  products  have  included  many  well-known 
consumer electronics companies throughout the world. 

In 2013, we also supplied our proprietary UniversalPHOLED materials to LG Display for use in its commercial AMOLED 
display  products,  to  Tohoku  Pioneer  for  use  in  its  commercial  PMOLED  display  products,  and  Konica  Minolta  for  its 
manufacture  of  commercial  OLED  lighting  products. During  the  year,  we  also  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  2013, 
including Nippon Steel and Sumikin Chimical Co., Ltd. (NSSCC), Idemitsu Kosan and LG Chem. Most of these relationships 
are  focused  on  matching  our  proprietary  PHOLED  emitters  with  the  host  and  other  OLED  materials  of  these  companies.  In 
2012  we  also  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Duksan  Hi-Metal  Company  Limited  (Duksan)  to  provide  us  host  sublimation 
services in Korea.  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. 

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 2013, 2012 and 2011, we incurred 
expenses of $34.2 million, $30.0 million and $24.1 million, respectively, on both internal and third-party sponsored research 
and development activities with respect to our various OLED technologies and materials. 

9 

 
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  newly  expanded  facility,  which  now  exceeds  50,000  square  feet,  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  multiple  OLED  deposition  systems,  including  a  full-color  flexible  OLED  system,  a  system  for 
fabricating  solution-processible  OLEDs,  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 and 
analytical 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, 2013, we  employed a team of 76 research scientists, engineers and laboratory technicians in both our 
Ewing  and  Hong  Kong  facilities.  This  team  includes  chemists,  physicists,  engineers  and  technicians  with  physics,  electrical 
engineering,  mechanical  engineering  and  organic/inorganic  chemistry  backgrounds,  and  highly-trained  theoreticians  and 
experimentalists. 

University Sponsored Research 

We  have long-standing relationships  with Princeton University 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 the University of 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. 

Effective  June  1,  2013,  we  amended  the  2006  Research  Agreement  again  to  extend  the  term  of  the  agreement  for  an 
additional  four  years. As  of  December 31, 2013,  we  are  obligated  to  reimburse  the  universities  for  up  to  approximately  $7.9 
million in actual costs to be incurred for research conducted under the remaining term of the agreement,  which expires April 
30, 2017. 

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  research  was  completed  as  of 
December 31, 2013. 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 Wong 
relating to new OLED materials. We have exclusive rights to all intellectual property developed under that program, which was 
extended through February 2016. 

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. 

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,  and  in  2013,  we  entered  into  another  one-year  agreement  with  SDT. We  continue  to  maintain  a 
good working relationship with Professor Jang. 

10 

 
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 nine 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.  On  contracts  for  which  we  are  the  prime  contractor,  we  subcontract  portions  of  the  work  to 
various entities and institutions, including Acuity Brands, Inc. (Acuity), IDD Aerospace and Moser Baer. We also serve  as a 
subcontractor under certain of our government contracts, such as with PPG Industries and Moser Baer. 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 have 
received  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),  the  Army  Communications-
Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) and 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 2013 were as follows: 

Technology Development for OLED Lighting 

During 2013, 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 work with IDD Aerospace 
to apply our technology for aircraft interior lighting. 

Prototype Commercial OLED Lighting System 

In 2013, we successfully completed work with Acuity under a DOE contract to demonstrate a prototype PHOLED lighting 
system for commercial application. Under this program, Acuity was responsible for designing and fabricating 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  were  targeted  for  high-end  commercial  spaces,  such  as  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. 

Novel Low Cost Single Layer Outcoupling Solution for OLED Lighting 

During 2013, we worked with the DOE and University of Southern Mississippi on a program to develop a novel low cost 

single layer outcoupling solution for OLED Lighting. 

Highly Efficient and Smart Power Supplies to Drive Phosphorescent OLED Lighting Panels 

During 2013, we worked with InnoSys, Inc. to interact and collaborate on specifying, designing and building OLED power 

supplies to drive phosphorescent OLED lighting panels and associated innovative lighting and luminaire applications. 

The Army Flexible Display Center 

We  have  been  a  Member  of The Army  Flexible  Display  Center  (FDC)  since  its  establishment  in  2004. The  FDC  is  being 
supported through a cooperative agreement between ASU and ARL. 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 2012, we 
continued to work with the FDC on flexible AMOLED displays using our proprietary PHOLED technology and materials and 
the FDC's proprietary bond-debond manufacturing technology.

Mahon, our Vice President of Technology Commercialization and General Manager of our PHOLED Material Sales Business, 
serves as a member of the Board of Directors 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 15 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, 2013, we owned, through assignment to us alone or jointly  with others, 329 pending U.S. applications (active 
U.S.  cases  and  international  applications  designated  in  the  U.S.)  and  449  U.S.  patents,  together  with  counterparts  filed  in 
various foreign countries. These owned patents will start expiring in the U.S. in 2020. 

Patents We License from Princeton, USC and Michigan 

We exclusively license many of our patent rights, including certain of our key PHOLED technology patents, under  the 1997 
Amended 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, 2013, the patent rights we license from these universities included 196 issued U.S. 
patents, 61 pending U.S. patent applications, 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 Amended 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 Amended License Agreement. The term of the 1997 Amended 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  Amended  License  Agreement  pursuant  to  an  inter-institutional  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. 

12 

 
We are required under the 1997 Amended 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 inter-institutional agreement. 

We have a minimum royalty obligation of $100,000 per year during the term of the 1997 Amended License Agreement. We 
paid royalties under the 1997 Amended License Agreement with Princeton of $3.2 million for 2013. We also are 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 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 Amended 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 expire in the U.S. between 2014 and 2018. 

In March 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  of  $440,000,  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. 

Patents We Acquired from Fujifilm Corporation 

In July 2012, we entered into a Patent Sale Agreement (the Agreement) with Fujifilm. Under the Agreement, Fujifilm sold 
more  than  1,200  OLED-related  patents  and  patent  applications  for  a  total  cost  of  $109.1  million.  The  Agreement  contains 
customary representations and warranties and covenants, including respective covenants not to sue by both parties thereto. The 
Agreement permitted us to assign all of our rights and obligations under the Agreement to our affiliates, and we assigned, prior 
to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement,  our rights and obligations to UDC Ireland  Limited 
(UDC Ireland), a wholly-owned subsidiary formed under the laws of the Republic of Ireland. The transactions contemplated by 
the Agreement were consummated on July 26, 2012. 

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. We also cannot prevent the actual independent development of the same or similar information and know-
how by third parties. 

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, fluorescent lamps, inorganic LEDs and emerging technologies, such as other OLED technologies. 

13 

 
Flat Panel Display Industry Competitors 

Numerous  domestic  and  foreign  companies  have  developed  or  are  developing  and  improving  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,  form  factor  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  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 

Although  there  has  been  a  movement  to  phase  out  traditional  incandescent  bulbs  throughout  many  countries,  traditional 
incandescent  bulbs  and  fluorescent  lamps  remain  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  Co.,  Ltd.  (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  licensing  business  is  based  on  our  control  of  a  broad  portfolio  of  OLED-related  device  patents  and  technology.  We 
believe  this  portfolio  includes  fundamental  patents  in  the  field  of  phosphorescent  OLED  materials  and  devices,  as  well  as 
certain additional complementary OLED technologies. As discussed above, alternative technologies, such as fluorescent OLED 
emitter  materials,  exist  and  could  be  competitive  to  our  phosphorescent  OLED  material  solutions. However,  fluorescent 
materials  have  characteristics  that  we  believe  many  market  participants  consider  less  desirable  than  those  of  phosphorescent 
materials. Suppliers of fluorescent emitter materials include Dow Chemical (previously Gracel Display), Doosan Electronics, 
SFC Co. Ltd. and Idemitsu Kosan. Fluorescent materials may also be viewed as complementary in that they can be used in the 
same  OLED  stack  as  phosphorescent  materials,  especially  for  use  as  emitters  for  generating  deep  blue  pixels  in  display 
modules  until  such  time  as  the  OLED  industry  improves  the  properties  of  currently  available  deep  blue  phosphorescent 
materials. 

The  competitive  landscape  with  respect  to  our  host  materials  business  is  characterized  by  a  larger  number  of  established 
chemical  material  suppliers  who  have  long-term  relationships  with  many  of  our  existing  customers  and  licensees.  We  have 
elected to partner with certain of these companies to manufacture and deliver our host solutions to our customers, as well as 
selling our host materials directly to device manufacturers. We believe our competitive advantage stems, in part, from our deep 
knowledge  of  our  phosphorescent  emitter  materials,  which  are  complementary  with  the  host  solutions.  We  believe  that  our 
understanding of the phosphorescent emitter materials enables us to create host material solutions that are especially well suited 
for use with a certain class of emitter materials that are implemented commercially today. However, we note that many of our 
technology  partners  have  their  own  host  solutions  and  the  competitive  landscape  includes  many  well-established  companies 
such as Dow Chemical, Idemitsu Kosan, NSSCC, Doosan Electronics, Merck KGaA, Cheil Industries and Duksan, which have 
significant resources and may aggressively pursue such business in the future. 

Our  existing  business  relationships  with  SDC  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 may supplement or 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,  2013,  we  had  122  active  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.  functions  as  an  operating 
subsidiary  of  ours  and  has  certain  overlapping  officers  and  directors. We  have  also  formed  other  wholly-owned  subsidiaries, 
including  Universal  Display  Corporation  Hong  Kong,  Ltd.  (2008),  Universal  Display  Corporation  Korea,  Y.H.  (2010), 
Universal Display Corporation Japan, G.K. (2011) and UDC Ireland Limited (2012), and we established a representative office 
in Taiwan (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.

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  not  be  able  to 
continue to 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  expand  the  use  of  our  OLED  technologies  and  materials  for  wider  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  beyond  current  commercial  application,  such  as  smartphone 
displays.  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  larger  area  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  large  volume  OLED 
materials and products. 

We cannot be certain that these advances will occur, and hence our OLED technologies and materials may not be feasible for 

additional broad-based product applications and expansion. 

15 

 
 
 
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  beyond  current  product  offerings  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  current  and  potential  licensees  of  our  OLED  technologies 
utilize  and  have  invested  significant  resources  in  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.    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. In addition, our license agreements 
do not require our customers to purchase our host materials in order to utilize our phosphorescent emitter materials, and those 
customers may elect not to purchase our host materials. 

Mass  production  of  new  mass  market  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 in conjunction with our OLED technologies in order to bring 
these  new  OLED  products  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;  additionally,  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. 

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 from which most of our material sales and licensing revenue are generated. 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. 

Many of our agreements  with product  manufacturers last for only limited periods of time, such that our relationships with 
these  manufacturers  will  expire  unless  they  are  renewed.  These  product  manufacturers  may  not  agree  to  renew  their 
relationships with us on a continuing basis or may agree to do so on terms that are less favorable to us. 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 on less favorable terms, or if we are not able to identify other product manufacturers and enter into 
contracts with them, our business may materially suffer. 

16 

 
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), 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 effect 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 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.  (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  U.  S.  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.  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 halting of sales of products that incorporate or otherwise use our technology or materials. 

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 and material sales under 
our existing sales agreements. Were this to occur, it would likely harm our ability to (i) obtain new licensees which would have 
an  adverse  effect  on  the  terms  of  the  royalty  arrangements  we  could  enter  into  with  any  new  licensees,  and  (ii)  sell  our 
UniversalPHOLED  materials  to  existing  and  new  customers.  Moreover,  to  the  extent  any  third  party  claims  are  directed 
specifically  to  materials  supplied  by  us  to  our  customers,  we  may  be  required  to  incur  significant  costs  associated  with  the 
defense of such claims and potential damages associated with such claims that may be awarded against our customers. 

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 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. 

17 

 
If we cannot obtain and maintain appropriate patent and other intellectual property 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. 

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  in  the  future  will  likely  have  to  participate  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 some of 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 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.  Additionally, 
although we take many measures to prevent theft and misuse of our proprietary information, we may face attempts by others to 
gain  unauthorized  access  through  the  Internet  to  our  information  technology  systems  or  to  our  intellectual  property,  which 
might be the result of industrial or other espionage or actions by hackers seeking to harm our company or its products. 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. (2007), 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. 

18 

 
Conflicts or other problems may arise with our licensees or joint development partners, resulting in renegotiation, breach or 
termination of, or litigation related to, our agreements with them. This would adversely affect our revenues. 

Conflicts or other problems could arise between us and our licensees or joint development partners, some of which we have 
made strategic investments in, 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. Additionally, we 
have  made  strategic  investments  in  certain  of  our  smaller  joint  development  partners  such  as  Plextronics,  Inc.  (Plextronics), 
who  because  of  the  size  of  their  company,  have  limited  financial,  legal,  or  personnel  resources,  or  technology  risks  may  be 
more readily impacted by any number of negative factors. If any of these smaller joint development partners were to become 
negatively impacted in any of the foregoing areas or were to become insolvent, it could significantly impair our investment in 
such company. Any of these adverse outcomes could cause our business strategy to 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. 

Our success depends upon the ability and continuing willingness of our licensees  to manufacture and sell products utilizing 
our technologies and materials, specifically our phosphorescent emitters and host materials, and the widespread acceptance of 
our licensees’ products in the consumer marketplace. Any slowdown in the demand for our licensees’ products or a decrease in 
licensees’  use  of  or  demand  for  our  materials  would  adversely  affect  our  material  sales  and  royalty  revenues  and  thus  our 
business. Our licensees’ decrease in the use of or demand for our materials may depend on several factors, including pricing, 
availability,  continued  technical  improvements  and  competitive  product  offerings.  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  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. 

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 or maintain any competitive advantages we 
are able to achieve over time. 

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. 

19 

 
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. 

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 our executive officers and other key technical and 
managerial personnel, and on our ability to offer competitive salaries and benefits to these and our other employees. We do not 
have employment agreements with any of our executive officers or other key technical or managerial personnel. Additionally, 
competition for highly skilled technical and managerial personnel is intense. We might not be able to attract, hire, train, retain 
and motivate the highly skilled 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 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 and commercial purposes. Our agreement with PPG Industries currently runs through the end of 2015 
and  shall  be  automatically  renewed  for  additional  one  year  terms,  unless  terminated  by  us  with  prior  notice  of  one  year  or 
terminated  by  PPG  with  prior  notice  of  two  years.  Our  inability  to  continue  obtaining  these  OLED  materials  from  PPG 
Industries or another source at cost-competitive prices and to continue obtaining these OLED materials in sufficient quantities 
to  meet  our  product  manufacturer's  current  and  future  demands  and  timetables  would  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our 
revenues and cost of goods sold relating to sales of these materials to OLED product manufacturers, as well as on our ability to 
perform future development work. 

Inventory management relating to our material sales is complex, and excess inventory may harm our business and cause it 
to suffer. 

Inventory management remains an area of focus as we balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels of our OLED 
materials to ensure competitive lead times against the risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology 
and customer requirements. Our manufacturers may increase orders during periods of product shortages, cancel orders if their 
inventory  is  too  high,  or  delay  orders  in  anticipation  of  new  products.  They  also  may  adjust  their  orders  in  response  to  the 
supply and demand of their products by end-users, our products and the products of our competitors that are available to them. 
Excess inventory of our OLED materials is subject to the risk of inventory obsolescence. In the event that a substantial portion 
of our inventory becomes obsolete, it could have a material adverse effect on earnings due to the resulting costs associated with 
the inventory impairment charges and inventory write downs. 

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. 

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; 

20 

 
•  

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 and tariff 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. 

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. 

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; the limited number of commercially 
successful  consumer  products  utilizing  our  OLED  technologies,  that  licensees  have  introduced  in  the  marketplace;  the 
relatively  short  product  lifetimes  of  these  consumer  products;  and  the  significant  development  and  manufacturing  objectives 
that  we  and  our  licensees  must  achieve  for  the  widespread  inclusion  of  our  OLED  technologies  in  new  classes  of  consumer 
products  such  as  tablets,  television  displays  and  lighting  products,  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, annual or semi-annual payments, which may result in significant fluctuations in our revenues. In addition, 
our reliance on a small number of licensees with large volumes of consumer product sales makes our quarterly operating results 
subject  to  our  licensees'  specific  plans  and  the  success  of  their  specific  product  offerings.  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. 

21 

 
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 stock options. 

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: 

•  

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 February 24, 2014, 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. 

Because  we  do  not  currently  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. 

Our executive officers and directors own a significant 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 February 24, 2014, approximately 12.5% 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. 

Natural disasters or other unforeseen catastrophic events could unfavorably affect our business. 

Natural  disasters,  such  as  hurricanes,  tsunamis,  or  earthquakes,  particularly  in  Asia-Pacific  region,  where  many  of  our 
licensees are located, or the occurrence of other unforeseen catastrophic events, such a fire or flood, could unfavorably affect 
our  business  and  financial  performance.  Such  events  could  unfavorably  affect  our  licensees  in  many  ways,  such  as  causing 
physical damage to one or more of their properties, the temporary or permanent closure of one or more plants, the disruption or 
cessation  of  manufacturing  of  product  lines,  and  the  temporary  or  long-term  disruption  in  the  supply  or  demand  for  their 
products. A resulting by-product of such natural disasters or other unforeseen catastrophic events could be a temporary or long-
term disruption in the supply of or demand for our products. 

Our effective tax rate may increase or decrease. 

We  are  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  U.S.  and  numerous  foreign  jurisdictions.  Significant  judgment  is  required  in 
determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and 
calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are subject to audit by tax authorities where we do business. 
Although we believe that our tax estimates and tax positions are reasonable, they could be materially affected by many factors 
including the  final outcome of tax audits and related litigation, the introduction of new tax accounting standards, legislation, 
regulations, and related interpretations, our global  mix of earnings and the realizability of deferred tax assets. An increase or 
decrease in our effective tax rate could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

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, as well as a recent expansion in 2013. We currently occupy the 
entire newly expanded facility. 

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

Patent Related Challenges and Oppositions 

Each  major jurisdiction in the  world that issues patents provides both third parties and applicants an opportunity to seek a 
further  review  of  an  issued  patent.  The  specific  process  for  requesting  and  considering  such  reviews  are  specific  to  the 
jurisdiction that issued the patent in question, and generally do not include claims for monetary damages or specific claims of 
infringement. The conclusions made by the reviewing administrative bodies tend to be appealable and generally are limited in 
scope and applicability to the specific claims and jurisdiction in question. 

We  believe  that opposition proceedings are  frequently commenced in the ordinary course of business by third parties  who 
may believe that a specific patent or claims in the patent do not comply with the technical or legal requirements of the specific 
jurisdiction  in  which  the  patent  was  issued.  We  view  these  proceedings  as  reflective  of  our  goal  of  obtaining  the  broadest 
legally permissible patent coverage permitted in each jurisdiction. Once a proceeding is initiated, the issued patent continues to 
be presumed valid until the jurisdiction’s applicable administrative body issues a final non-appealable decision. Depending on 
the  jurisdiction,  the  outcome  of  these  proceedings  could  include  affirmation,  denial  or  modification  of  some  or  all  of  the 
originally issued claims.  We believe that as our portfolio increases in size, so will the number of these proceedings. 

Below  are  summaries  of  proceedings  that  have  been  commenced  against  certain  issued  patents  that  are  either  exclusively 
licensed to us or which are now assigned to us. We do not believe that the confirmation, loss or modification of our rights in 
any individual claim or set of claims that are the subject of the following legal proceedings would have a material impact on 
our material sales or licensing business or on our consolidated financial statements, including our consolidated statements of 
income, as a whole. However, as noted within the descriptions, some of the following proceedings involve issued patents that 
relate to our fundamental phosphorescent OLED technologies and we intend to vigorously defend against claims that, in our 
opinion, seek to restrict or reduce the scope of the originally issued claim,  which  may require the expenditure of significant 
amounts  of  our  resources.  In  certain  circumstances,  when  permitted,  we  may  also  utilize  the  proceedings  to  request 
modification of the claims to better distinguish the patented invention from any newly identified prior art and/or improve the 
claim scope of the patent relative to commercially important categories of the invention. The entries marked with an "*" relate 
to our UniversalPHOLED phosphorescent OLED technology, some of which may be commercialized by us. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 0946958 

On December 8, 2006, Cambridge Display Technology Ltd. (CDT), which was acquired in 2007 by Sumitomo, filed a Notice 
of Opposition to European Patent No. 0946958 (EP '958 patent),  which relates to our  FOLED™ flexible OLED technology. 
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 are exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and we are required to pay all legal costs 
and fees associated with this proceeding. 

On  November  26,  2009  the  European  Patent  Office  (the  EPO)  issued  its  written  decision  to  reject  the  opposition  and  to 
maintain the patent as granted. On April 12, 2010, CDT filed an appeal to the EPO panel decision. On August 19, 2010, we 
filed a timely response to the EPO panel decision. 

At this time, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the EPO panel decision will be upheld on appeal. However, we 

cannot make any assurances of this result.

Opposition to European Patent No. 1449238* 

In  2007,  Sumation  Company  Limited  (Sumation),  a  joint  venture  between  Sumitomo  and  CDT,  Merck  Patent  GmbH,  of 
Darmstadt, Germany, and BASF Aktiengesellschaft, of Mannheim, Germany, filed Notices 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;  7,537,844;  and  7,883,787;  and  to  pending  U.S.  patent 
applications 13/009,001, filed on January 19, 2011, and 13/205,290, filed on August 9, 2011 (hereinafter the “U.S. '828 Patent 
Family”). They are exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and we are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with 
this proceeding. 

On  January  13,  2012,  the  EPO  issued  a  decision  to  maintain  the  patent  with  claims  directed  to  OLEDs  comprising 

phosphorescent organometallic iridium compounds. 

All the parties appealed the EPO's panel decision. An Oral Hearing was held in the EPO on November 22, 2013, in which the 
EPO Appellate Board reversed the decision of the prior panel and revoked the patent in its entirety. We received a final written 
decision on February 21, 2014. We are currently evaluating whether to proceed with an appeal of the decision to the Enlarged 
Board  of  Appeals,  or  simply  continue  prosecuting  claims  directed  to  the  invention  in  additional  related  pending  divisional 
applications in the EPO which claim priority from the same original priority application. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870* 

On April 20, 2010, Merck Patent GmbH; 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 
filed Notices of Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870 (the EP '870 patent). The EP '870 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;  7,563,519;  and  7,901,795;  and  to  pending  U.S.  patent  application  13/035,051,  filed  on  February  25,  2011 
(hereinafter the “U.S. '238 Patent Family”). They are exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and  we are required to pay all 
legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

The matter has been briefed and an oral hearing has been scheduled by the EPO in the second quarter of 2014. 

At this time, 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  our  claims  will  be  upheld.  However,  we  cannot  make  any 
assurances of this result. 

Invalidation Trials in Japan for Japan Patent Nos. 4357781 and 4358168* 

On  May  24,  2010,  we  received  Notices  of  Invalidation Trials  against  Japan  Patent  Nos.  4357781  (the  JP  '781  patent)  and 
4358168 (the JP '168 patent), which were both issued on August 14, 2009. The requests were filed by Semiconductor Energy 
Laboratory Co., Ltd. (SEL). The JP '781 and JP '168 patents are Japanese counterpart patents, in part, to the above-noted U.S. 
'828  Patent  Family.  They  are  exclusively  licensed  to  us  by  Princeton,  and  we  are  required  to  pay  all  legal  costs  and  fees 
associated with this proceeding. 

On March 31, 2011, we learned that the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) had issued decisions finding all claims in the JP '781 

and JP '168 patents invalid. 

Both parties appealed this matter to the Japanese IP High Court. On November 7, 2012, we were notified that the Japanese IP 

High Court had reversed the JPO's finding of invalidity and remanded the case back to the JPO for further consideration. 

In a decision reported to us on April 15, 2013, all claims in our JP '781 and JP '168 patents were upheld as valid by the JPO. 

Our opponent appealed this decision. 

At  this  time,  based  on  our  current  knowledge,  we  believe  that  the  claims  on  the  patents  should  be  upheld.  However,  we 

cannot make any assurances of this result. 

Invalidation Trial in Japan for Japan Patent No. 4511024* 

On  June  16,  2011,  we  learned  that  a  Request  for  an  Invalidation Trial  was  filed  in  Japan  for  our  Japanese  Patent  No.  JP-
4511024  (the  JP  '024  patent),  which  issued  on  May  14,  2010. The  Request  was  filed  by  SEL,  the  same  opponent  as  in  the 
above-noted Japanese Invalidation Trials for the JP '781 and JP '168 patents. The JP '024 patent is a counterpart patent, in part, 
to  the  U.S.  '238  Patent  Family,  which  relate  to  the  EP  '870  patent,  which  is  subject  to  one  of  the  above-noted  European 
oppositions and which relates to our UniversalPHOLED phosphorescent OLED technology. They are exclusively licensed to us 
by Princeton, and we are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

24 

 
On May 10, 2012, we learned that the JPO issued a decision upholding the validity of certain claimed inventions in the JP 
'024 Patent but invalidating the broadest claims in the patent. We appealed the JPO’s decision to the Japanese IP High Court. 
On October 31, 2013, the Japanese IP High Court ruled that the prior art references relied on by the JPO did not support the 
JPO’s  findings,  reversed  the  JPO’s  decision  with  respect  to  the  previously  invalidated  broad  claims  in  the  JP  ‘024  patent 
and remanded the matter back to the JPO for further consideration consistent with its decision. 

At this time, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the patent being challenged should be declared valid and that 

all or a significant portion of our claims should be upheld. However, we cannot make any assurances of this result. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1252803* 

On July 12 and 13, 2011, Sumitomo, Merck Patent GmbH and BASF SE, of Ludwigshaven, Germany filed oppositions to 
our  European  Patent  No.  1252803  (the  EP  '803  patent).  The  EP  '803  patent,  which  was  issued  on  October  13,  2010,  is  a 
European counterpart patent, in part, to the U.S. '828 Patent Family. They are exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and we 
are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

On December 7, 2012 the EPO rendered a decision at an Oral Hearing wherein it upheld the broadest claim of the granted 

patent. All three opponents filed an appeal. 

At this time, 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 our claims will be further upheld on appeal. However, we cannot 
make any assurances of this result. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1390962 

On November 16, 2011, Osram AG and BASF SE each filed a Notice of Opposition to European Patent No. 1390962 (EP 
'962 patent), which relates to our white phosphorescent OLED technology. The EP '962 patent, which was issued on February 
16,  2011,  is  a  European  counterpart  patent  to  U.S.  patents  7,009,338  and  7,285,907. They  are  exclusively  licensed  to  us  by 
Princeton, and we are required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

The EPO combined the oppositions into a single opposition proceeding. We expect the  EPO to schedule a hearing on this 

matter in the first half of 2014. 

At this time, 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  our  claims  will  be  upheld.  However,  we  cannot  make  any 
assurances of this result. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1933395* 

On February 24 and 27, 2012, Sumitomo, Merck Patent GmbH and BASF SE filed oppositions to our European Patent No. 
1933395 (the EP '395 patent). The EP '395 patent is a counterpart patent to the above-noted JP '168 patent, and, in part, to the 
U.S. '828 Patent Family. This patent is exclusively licensed to us by Princeton, and we are required to pay all legal costs and 
fees associated with this proceeding. 

At an Oral Hearing on October 14, 2013, the EPO panel issued a decision that affirmed the basic invention and broad patent 

coverage in the EP '395 patent, but narrowed the scope of the original claims. 

We intend to appeal the ruling to reinstate a broader set of claims. This patent, as originally granted by the EPO, would be 

deemed valid during the pendency of an appeals process. 

In  addition  to  the  above  proceedings,  from  time  to  time,  we  may  have  other  proceedings  that  are  pending  which  relate  to 
patents we acquired as part of the Fuji Patent acquisition or which to relate to technologies that are not currently widely utilized 
in the marketplace.

As of February 24, 2014, there were approximately 299 holders of record of our common stock. 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for 
the operation and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on our common stock in 
the foreseeable future. Any future payment of cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of 
Directors  and  will  depend  upon  our  results  of  operations,  earnings,  capital  requirements,  contractual  restrictions  and  other 
factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. 

Share Repurchases 

During  the  quarter  ended  December 31,  2012,  we  announced  that  the  Board  of  Directors  had  approved  a  program  to 
repurchase up to $50 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from time to time over the next twelve months (the 
Repurchase Program). The amount and timing of repurchases depended on a number of factors, including the price, availability 
of shares of our common  stock, trading  volume and  general  market conditions. The repurchases could be  made  on the open 
market, in block trades or otherwise. The Repurchase Program ended during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. 

Additionally,  during  the  quarter  ended  December  31,  2013,  we  acquired  98  shares  of  common  stock  through  transactions 
related to the vesting of restricted share awards previously granted to employees of ours. Upon vesting, the employees turned in 
shares of common stock in amounts sufficient to pay the minimum statutory tax withholding at rates required  by the relevant 
tax authorities.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2013, we released income tax valuation allowances of $59.4 million. 

*  The unaudited adjusted presentation is a non-GAAP measure which reflects our operating results excluding the impact of the release of 

certain income tax valuation allowances (including the impact of recording a deferred income tax provision subsequent to the release)for 
the year ended December 31, 2013. The adjusted presentation is intended to present our net income and net income per common share 
information for the year ended December 31, 2013 as if the income tax valuation allowances were not reversed, consistent with prior 
years.

*  The adjusted net income (loss) per common share, basic is derived from dividing adjusted net income by the number of weighted 

average shares used in computing basic net income (loss) per common share. 

**The adjusted net income per common share, diluted for the year ended December 31, 2013, is derived from dividing adjusted net income 
by  adjusted  weighted  average  shares  of  46,582,347,  which  excludes  the  amount  of  any  excess  tax  benefits  in  assumed  proceeds  in 
calculating the weighted average shares using the treasury stock method. The exclusion is intended to present our diluted net income per 
common share for the year ended December 31, 2013 as if our assessment of the future realizability of our deferred tax assets did not 
change  and  the  income  tax  valuation  allowances  were  not  reversed,  consistent  with  prior  periods. For  the  years  ended  December  31, 
2009 to 2012, there is no difference between net income (loss) per common share and adjusted net income (loss) per common share. 

Non-GAAP Measures 

To  supplement  our  selected  financial  data  presented  in  accordance  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
(GAAP),  we  are  providing  certain  non-GAAP  measures.  These  non-GAAP  measures  include  adjusted  net  income  (loss), 
adjusted net income (loss) per common share, basic and adjusted income (loss) per common share, diluted. Reconciliation to 
the most directly comparable GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in the presentation can be found within the 
table detailing the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures above. 

We  have  provided  these  non-GAAP  measures  to  enhance  investors'  overall  understanding  of  our  current  financial 
performance,  and  as  a  means  to  evaluate  period-to-period  comparisons.  We  believe  that  these  non-GAAP  measures  provide 
meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial performance by excluding the effect of the release of income tax 
valuation  allowances  that  may  not  be  indicative  of  recurring  core  business  operating  results. We  believe  that  the  non-GAAP 
measures that exclude the impact of the release of income tax valuation allowances including recording a deferred income tax 
provision subsequent to the release of the allowances, when viewed with GAAP results, enhance the comparability or results 
against  prior  periods  and  allow  for  greater  transparency  of  financial  results. The  presentation  of  non-GAAP  measures  is  not 
intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in 
accordance with GAAP. 

ITEM 7.  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 
and materials for use in displays for smartphones, tablets and televisions as well as solid-state lighting applications. Since 1994, 
we  have  been exclusively engaged, and expect to continue to be  primarily engaged, in funding and performing research and 
development activities relating to OLED technologies and materials, and commercializing these technologies and materials. We 
derive our revenue from the following: 

•  

•  

•  

sales of OLED materials for evaluation, development and commercial manufacturing; 

intellectual property and technology licensing; and 

technology development and support, including government contract work and support provided to third parties 
for commercialization of their OLED products. 

Material sales relate to our sale of OLED materials for incorporation into our customers’ commercial OLED products or for 
their OLED development and evaluation activities. Material sales are recognized at the time of shipment or at time of delivery, 
and passage of title, depending upon the contractual agreement between the parties. 

We  receive  license  and  royalty  payments  under  certain  commercial,  development  and  technology  evaluation  agreements, 
some  of  which are  non-refundable advances. These payments  may  include  royalty and license  fees  made pursuant to  license 
agreements  and  also  license  fees  included  as  part  of  certain  commercial  supply  agreements.  Certain  of  the  payments  under 
development  and  technology  evaluation  agreements  are  creditable  against  future  amounts  payable  under  commercial  license 
agreements that the parties may subsequently enter into and, as such, are deferred until such commercial license agreements are 
executed  or  negotiations  have  ceased  and  our  management  determines  that  there  is  no  appreciable  likelihood  of  executing  a 
commercial license agreement with the other party. Revenue would then be recognized over the term of the agreement or the 
expected  useful  life  of  the  relevant  licensed  technology,  for  perpetual  licenses,  if  there  is  an  effective  commercial  license 
agreement or amounts are not creditable against future commercial license fees, or at the time our management determines that 
there  is  no  appreciable  likelihood  of  an  executable  commercial  license  agreement.  For  arrangements  with  extended  payment 
terms  where  the  fee  is  not  fixed  and  determinable,  we  recognize  revenue  when  the  payment  is  due  and  payable.  Royalty 
revenue and license fees included as part of commercial supply agreements are recognized when earned and the amount is fixed 
and determinable. 

Currently, our most significant commercial license agreement, which runs through the end of 2017, is with SDC and covers 
the manufacture and sale of specified OLED display products. Under this agreement, we are being paid a license fee, payable in 
semi-annual installments over the agreement term of 6.4 years. The installments, which are due in the second and fourth quarter 
of each  year, increase on an  annual basis over the  term of  the agreement. The agreement conveys to SDC the  non-exclusive 
right to use certain of our intellectual property assets for a limited period of time that is less than the estimated life of the assets. 
Ratable recognition of revenue is impacted by the agreement's extended increasing payment terms in light of our limited history 
with similar agreements. As a result revenue is recognized at the lesser of the proportional performance approach (ratable) and 
the  amount  of  due  and  payable  fees  from  SDC.  Given  the  increasing  contractual  payment  schedule,  license  fees  under  the 
agreement are recognized as revenue when they become due and payable, which is currently scheduled to be in the second and 
fourth quarter of each year. 

At the same time we entered into the current patent license agreement with SDC, we also entered into a new supplemental 
material purchase agreement with SDC. Under the current supplemental material purchase agreement, SDC agrees to purchase 
from us a  minimum dollar amount of phosphorescent emitter  materials  for use in the manufacture  of licensed products. This 
minimum purchase commitment is subject to SDC’s requirements for phosphorescent emitter materials and our ability to meet 
these requirements over the term of the supplemental agreement. The minimum purchase amounts increase on an annual basis 
over  the  term  of  the  supplemental  agreement. These  amounts  were  determined  through  negotiation  based  on  a  number  of 
factors, including, without limitation, estimates of SDC’s OLED business growth as a percentage of published OLED market 
forecasts  and  SDC’s  projected  minimum  usage  of  red  and  green  phosphorescent  emitter  materials  over  the  term  of  the 
agreement. 

Technology  development  and  support  revenue  is  revenue  earned  from  government  contracts,  development  and  technology 
evaluation agreements and commercialization assistance fees, which includes reimbursements by government entities for all or 
a  portion  of  the  research  and  development  costs  we  incur  in  relation  to  our  government  contracts.  Revenues  are  recognized 
proportionally as research and development costs are incurred, or as defined milestones are achieved. 

While  we  have  made  significant  progress  over  the  past  few  years  developing  and  commercializing  our  family  of  OLED 
technologies (including our PHOLED, TOLED, FOLED technologies) and materials, and have generated net income over the 
past three years, we incurred significant losses prior to this period, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $130.2 million  as of 
December 31, 2013. 

32 

 
We anticipate fluctuations in our annual and quarterly results of operations due to uncertainty regarding, among other factors: 

•  

•  

•  

the timing, cost and volume of sales of our OLED materials; 

the timing of our receipt of license fees and royalties, as well as fees for future technology development and 
evaluation; 

the timing and magnitude of expenditures we may incur in connection with our ongoing research and 
development and patent-related 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  revenue,  the  valuation  of  certain 
investments,  the  valuation  and  recoverability  of  acquired  technology,  stock-based  compensation,  income  taxes  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 Revenue 

Technology  development  and  support  revenue  is  revenue  earned  from  government  contracts,  development  and  technology 
evaluation agreements and commercialization assistance fees, which includes 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  advance  license  and  royalty  payments  under  certain  commercial,  development  and  technology 
evaluation  agreements  with  our  customers.  These  payments  are  generally  recognized  as  revenue  over  the  term  of  the 
agreement. On occasion, however, certain of the payments under development and evaluation agreements are creditable against 
future  amounts  payable  under  commercial  license  agreements  that  the  parties  may  subsequently  enter  into  and,  as  such,  are 
classified as deferred revenue, and are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet until such time as revenue can be 
recognized. Revenue is deferred until such commercial license agreements are executed  or negotiations have ceased and our 
management  determines  that  there  is  no  appreciable  likelihood  of  executing  a  commercial  license  agreement  with  the  other 
party. If a commercial license agreement is executed, payments are recorded as revenue over the term of the agreement or the 
estimated  useful  life  of  the  licensed  technology,  for  perpetual  licenses.  Otherwise,  payments  deferred  pending  a  commercial 
license are recorded as revenue at the time our management determines that negotiations with the customer show that there is 
no appreciable likelihood of executing a commercial license agreement. For arrangements with extended payment terms where 
the  fee  is  not  fixed  and  determinable,  we  recognize  revenue  when  the  payment  is  due  and  payable. If  we  used  different 
estimates  for  the  useful  life  of  the  licensed  technology,  or  formed  a  different  judgment  on  the  likelihood  of  executing  a 
commercial license agreement or if fees are fixed and determinable, reported revenue during the relevant period would differ. 
As of December 31, 2013, $4.3 million was recorded as deferred revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
approximately $1.5 million and $1.9 million of revenue was recognized, respectively, relating to cash payments received that 
were creditable against license fees and/or royalties for which we determined there was no appreciable likelihood of executing 
a license agreement with the customer. 

Short-term and Long-term Investments 

We have invested in convertible promissory notes issued by two private companies, both of which are early-stage companies 
still defining their strategic direction and business models. The carrying value of our convertible promissory note investment 
portfolio  totaled  $4.3  million  as  of  December 31,  2013.  For  additional  information,  see  Note  2  in  Notes  to  Consolidated 
Financial Statements.  

Our  convertible  promissory  note  investments  are  currently  classified  within  long-term  investments  on  the  consolidated 

balance sheet. 

33 

 
These convertible promissory note investments are inherently risky as the notes lack a ready market for resale, and the note 
issuer’s  success  is  dependent  on  product  development,  market  acceptance,  operational  efficiency,  the  ability  of  the  investee 
companies to raise additional funds in financial markets that can be volatile, and other key business factors. The companies we 
have invested in could fail or not be able to raise additional funds when needed. These events could cause our investments to 
significantly decrease in value. In addition, financial market volatility could negatively affect our ability to realize value in our 
investments through liquidity events such as mergers and private sales. 

We  determine  the  fair  value  of  our  convertible  promissory  note  investments  portfolio  quarterly.  The  fair  value  of  our 
convertible  promissory  note  investments  is  determined  through  the  consideration  of  whether  the  investee  is  experiencing 
financial difficulty, overall trends in interest rates and other factors. Management also performs an evaluation of the probability 
that  the  borrower  will  be  in  payment  default  on  any  of  its  debt  in  the  foreseeable  future. The  evaluation  requires  significant 
judgment and includes quantitative and qualitative analysis of identified events or circumstances affecting the investee, which 
may impact the fair value of the investment, such as: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

the investee’s revenue and earnings trends relative to pre-defined milestones and overall business prospects; 

the technological feasibility of the investee’s products and technologies; 

the general market conditions in the investee’s industry or geographic area, including adverse regulatory or 
economic changes; 

factors related to the investee’s ability to remain in business, such as the investee’s liquidity, debt ratios, and 
the rate at which the investee is using its cash; and 

the investee’s receipt of additional funding at a lower valuation. 

Changes in fair value of the investments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss). If 
a  decline  in  fair  value  of  a  convertible  promissory  note  investment  below  our  carrying  value  is  deemed  to  be  other  than 
temporary,  the  amortized  cost  basis  of  our  investment  will  be  written  down  by  the  amount  of  the  other-than-temporary 
impairment with a resulting charge to net income. There were no other-than-temporary impairments of convertible promissory 
note investments as of December 31, 2013. On January 16, 2014, one of the companies that issued us a convertible promissory 
note, for an original principal amount of $4.0 million, filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy 
Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware (Bankruptcy Court). The debtor company is seeking an 
Order authorizing the sale of substantially all of its assets. On February 14, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the bidding 
procedures in connection  with the  sale  of substantially all of the debtor company’s assets, including approval of a  minimum 
stalking horse bid under which our investment would be satisfied in full. If any qualified bids are received under the approved 
bidding procedures, which are required to be superior to the current stalking horse bid, then on March 5, 2014, an auction for 
the sale of the debtor’s assets is scheduled to be held. A sale hearing is currently scheduled for March 6, 2014. Based upon our 
expectation of full payment resulting from the sale of the debtor company's assets and the bankruptcy process, no impairment 
has been recorded as of December 31, 2013. If the sale  and bankruptcy process does  not occur as expected, a full or partial 
impairment of the investment may be necessary. 

Valuation and Recoverability of Acquired Technology 

During  the  year  ended  December 31,  2012,  we  acquired  a  portfolio  of  patent  and  patent  applications  for  $109.1  million 
including related costs and expenses. For additional information, see Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  

The net book value of all our acquired technology was $94.0 million as of December 31, 2013. Acquired technology assets 
are subject to amortization. These assets are currently being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 7.5 to 10 years 
which are their estimated economic lives. Changes in technology or in our intended use of these assets, as well as changes in 
economic or industry factors or in our business or prospects, may cause the estimated period of use or the value of these assets 
to change.  

We periodically review our acquired technology assets to confirm the appropriateness of the lives. Our assessment takes into 
account actual usage, our anticipated future use of the technology, and assumptions about technology evolution. If these factors 
indicate  that  the  useful  life  is  different  from  the  previous  assessment,  we  would  amortize  the  remaining  net  book  values 
prospectively over the adjusted remaining estimated useful life. 

34 

 
We  also  regularly  review  our  acquired  OLED  technologies  for  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  that  might  indicate  the 
value  of  these  technologies  is  impaired.  Factors  considered  that  could  cause  impairment  include,  among  others,  significant 
changes in our anticipated future use of these technologies, expected revenue streams resulting from the technologies, and our 
overall business strategy as it pertains to these technologies, particularly in light of patents owned by others in the same field of 
use. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, we use an estimate of the related 
undiscounted  cash  flows  in  measuring  whether  the  long-lived  asset  should  be  written  down  to  fair  value  as  well  as  if  the 
remaining  useful  life  is  still  appropriate.  Measurement  of  the  amount  of  impairment  would  be  based  on  generally  accepted 
valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. 

Valuation of Stock-Based Compensation 

We  recognize  in  the  statement  of  income  the  grant-date  fair  value  of  equity-based  compensation  issued  to  employees  and 
directors (see Notes 2 and 11 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,  and  stock  appreciation  rights  (SARs)  issued  to 
employees, based on the fair value, which is remeasured over the vesting period of such awards. 

The performance unit awards we grant are subject to either a performance-based or market-based vesting requirement. For 
performance-based  vesting,  the  grant-date  fair  value  of  the  award,  based  on  fair  value  of  the  Company's  common  stock,  is 
recognized  over  the  service  period,  based  on  an  assessment  of  the  likelihood  that  the  applicable  performance  goals  will  be 
achieved and compensation expense is periodically adjusted based on actual and expected performance. Compensation expense 
for  performance  unit  awards  with  market-based  vesting  is  calculated  based  on  the  estimated  fair  value  as  of  the  grant  date 
utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model and is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis. 

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of SARs, options and warrants we have granted for 
purposes of recording charges to the statement of income. In order to calculate the fair value of the SARs, options and warrants, 
assumptions  are  made  for  certain  components  of  the  model,  including  expected  volatility,  expected  dividend  yield  rate  and 
expected life. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historical volatility of our stock price over a period 
commensurate with the expected life of the award. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in 
effect at the time of grant. In the case of stock options granted to employees, we estimate the expected term of options granted 
based  on  our  historical  experience  with  our  employees’  exercise  of  stock  options.  In  the  case  of  stock  options  and  warrants 
granted  to  non-employees,  the  contractual  life  is  used. 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 
awards. 

Accounting for Income Taxes 

We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in 
evaluating  our  tax  positions  for  future  realization  and  determining  our  provision  for  income  taxes.  Our  income  tax  expense, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management's best assessment of estimated 
future taxes to be paid. 

Our income tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2013 was the result of the release of valuation allowances offset 
by foreign withholding taxes. The foreign taxes are primarily related to foreign taxes withheld on royalty and license fees paid 
to  the  U.S.  operating  entity.  SDC  has  been  required  to  withhold  tax  upon  payment  of  royalty  and  license  fees  to  the  U.S. 
operating entity at a rate of 16.5%. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely 
than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is 
dependent  on  our  ability  to  generate  future  taxable  income  to  obtain  benefit  from  the  reversal  of  temporary  differences,  net 
operating  loss  carryforwards  and  tax  credits.  As  part  of  our  assessment  we  consider  the  scheduled  reversal  of  deferred  tax 
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.  During the year ended December 31, 2013, based on 
previous earnings history, a current evaluation of expected future taxable income and other evidence, we determined it is more 
likely  than  not  that  our  federal  and  the  majority  of  our  state  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  realized. Therefore,  we  released  all 
valuation  allowances  except  the  portion  that  relates  to  UDC  Ireland,  New  Jersey  research  and  development  credits  and  a 
portion of foreign tax credits.  

Actual results could differ from our assessments if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. To the extent 
in  the  future  we  no  longer  believe  that  recovery  is  more  likely  than  not,  we  would  be  required  to  re-establish  a  valuation 
allowance  to  reduce  deferred  tax  assets  to  the  amount  considered  realizable.  To  the  extent  we  establish  a  new  valuation 
allowance or change a previously established valuation allowance in a future period, income tax expense will be impacted. In 
addition,  our  ability  to  use  our  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  could  be  subject  to  limitation  because  of  certain 
ownership changes. Net deferred tax assets totaled $40.7 million, representing, 8.8% of total assets, as of December 31, 2013. 

35 

 
Although  we  generated  income  before  income  taxes  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  there  was  no 
provision for United States federal or state income taxes, excluding certain estimated alternative minimum taxes and refunds 
due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards which were offset by a full valuation allowance. 

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  (the  Curve).  Based  upon  this  analysis  using  the 
Curve, we used a discount rate to measure our retirement plan benefit liability of 4.51% at December 31, 2013. A change of 25 
basis points in the discount rate would increase or decrease the expense on an annual basis by approximately $13,000. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012 

We had operating income of $38.2 million for the year  ended December 31, 2013, compared to operating income of $13.7 

million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in operating income was due to the following: 

•  

•  

an increase in revenue of $63.4 million, which includes increases in both material sales and royalty and license 
fees, partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in technology development and support revenue; offset by 

an increase in operating expenses of $38.8 million, which includes a $24.4 million increase in the cost of material 
sales, a $3.9 million increase in patent costs and amortization of acquired technology, a $5.2 million increase in 
selling, general and administrative expenses and a $4.2 million increase in research and development expenses, 
all of which are described below. 

We had net income of $74.1 million (or $1.61 per basic share and $1.59 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 
2013, compared to net income of $9.7 million (or $0.21 per basic and diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2012. The 
increase in net income was primarily due to: 

•  

•  

the increase in operating income of $24.6 million; and 

a tax benefit of $35.0 million resulting primarily from the release of income tax valuation allowances. 

We had adjusted net income of $32.6 million (or $0.71 per adjusted basic share and $0.70 per adjusted diluted share) for the 
year ended December 31, 2013. This non-GAAP measure excludes the effect of the tax valuation allowance releases. See the 
discussion of non-GAAP measures in Item 6 (Selected Financial Data) of this report.

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $63.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 
2012. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of increased commercial chemical sales due to the increased adoption of 
our technology and materials in the marketplace by display manufacturers.

Commercial  material  sales for the  year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $60.8 million compared to the  year ended 
December 31, 2012, primarily reflecting increased commercial chemical sales resulting  from the adoption of our technology 
and materials in the marketplace by display manufacturers. Commercial materials are materials that have been validated by us 
for use in commercial OLED products. 

Developmental material sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by $9.5 million compared to the year ended 
December  31,  2012.  The  decrease  in  our  development  material  sales  was  primarily  due  to  a  change  in  sales  mix. 
Developmental material sales are materials that have not yet been validated by us for use in commercial OLED products. 

Material sales included sales of both phosphorescent emitter and host materials which were comprised of the following for

Phosphorescent emitter sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $23.1 million compared to the year ended 
December  31,  2012.  The  increase  in  our  phosphorescent  emitter  sales  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  commercial 
phosphorescent emitter sales, offset by a decrease in development phosphorescent emitter sales. 

Host material sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $28.1 million compared to the year ended December 
31,  2012. The  increase  in  our  host  material  sales  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  the  number  of  grams  sold,  offset  by  a 
decrease  in  the  average  price  per  gram  sold.  We  believe  we  can  participate  in  the  host  materials  business  due  to  our  long 
experience  in  developing  emitter  materials,  which  are  used  together  with  host  materials  in  the  emissive  layer  of  an 
OLED. However, our customers are not required to purchase our host materials in order to utilize our phosphorescent emitter 
materials,  and  the  host  material  sales  business  is  more  competitive  than  the  phosphorescent  emitter  material  sales 
business. Thus, our long-term prospects for host material sales are uncertain.

Royalty  and  license  fees  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013  increased  by  $15.3  million  compared  to  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2012. The increase in our royalty and license fees mostly related to SDC, which are not dependent on material 
sales. Our license fees from SDC increased $10.0 million, and our license fees based on commercial chemical sales increased 
$3.8 million. During the  year ended December 31, 2013, we  also recognized as revenue $1.5 million,  which  was previously 
deferred  because  the  payment  was  creditable  against  the  license  fee  under  a  commercial  license  agreement  in  the  event  we 
entered into one with the customer. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we determined that the likelihood of us entering 
into such an agreement with this customer was remote. As a result of this determination, we recorded the $1.5 million payment 
as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Technology  development  and  support  revenue  is  revenue  earned  from  government  contracts,  development  and  technology 
evaluation agreements and commercialization assistance fees, which includes reimbursements by the U.S. government for all or 
a portion of the research and development expenses we incur related to our government contracts. 

Technology development and support revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by $3.2 million compared to 
the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily related to the smaller number of government contracts and due to 
the timing of revenue recognition for certain customers.

Cost of commercial material sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $24.4 million compared to the year 
ended  December  31,  2012.  The  increase  in  our  cost  of  commercial  material  sales  was  primarily  due  to  the  aforementioned 
222% increase in commercial material sales as  well as the  product mix of materials sold. Depending on the amounts, timing 
and stage of materials being classified as commercial, we expect cost of materials sales to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. As 
a result of these fluctuations, and due to increased sales of commercial materials, cost of material sales increased for the  year 
ended December 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. 

Cost  of  commercial  material  sales  includes  the  cost  of  producing  materials  that  have  been  classified  as  commercial  and 
shipping costs  for such  materials, but excludes the cost of  producing certain  materials,  which  have already been included in 
research and development expense. Commercial materials are materials that have been validated by us for use in commercial 
OLED products. 

Research and development 

We incurred research and development expenses of $34.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $30.0 

million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to: 

•  

•  

•  

increased costs of $2.8 million associated with bonus and stock-based compensation for certain executive officers 
as well as increased salaries and salary-related expenses associated with new and existing employees; 

increased costs of $1.2 million related to sponsored research and development contracts; and 

increased costs of $1.3 million incurred under our agreement with PPG Industries; offset by 

•   decreased  consulting  and  contract  costs  of  $1.2  million  due  to  decreased  outsourced  research  and  development 
efforts, fewer government contracts outstanding when compared to the prior year, as well as the timing of costs 
incurred. 

Selling, general and administrative 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $19.6 
million for the  year ended December 31, 2012. The increase  was primarily due to increased costs associated with bonus and 
stock-based  compensation  for  certain  executive  officers  as  well  as  increased  salaries  and  salary-related  expenses  associated 
with new and existing employees.

Patent costs and amortization of acquired technology 

Patent  costs  and  amortization  of  acquired  technology  increased  to  $17.3  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013, 
compared to $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase relates to an increase in the duration of the year 
for amortization on patents purchased from Fujifilm in July 2012 (see Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for 
further discussion), offset by a decrease in patent costs mainly due to the timing of legal expenses as well as an effort to reduce 
legal expenses. 

Royalty and license expense 

Royalty and license expense increased to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $2.1 million for 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2012. The  increase  was  mainly  due  to  increased  royalties  incurred  under  our  amended  license 
agreement with Princeton, USC, and Michigan, resulting from higher material sales and increased royalty and license fees. See 
Note 3 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. 

Interest income 

Interest income decreased to $811,000 for the  year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $1.2 million for the year ended 
December  31,  2012.  The  increase  is  primarily  due  to  the  timing  of  purchases  of  investments  and  an  overall  lower  average 
balance of cash held in 2013. 

Income taxes 

We  recorded  an  income  tax  benefit  of  $35.0  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013  compared  to  an  income  tax 

expense of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. 

Our  income  tax  benefit  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2013  was  primarily  the  result  of  the  release  of  valuation 
allowances offset by foreign withholding taxes. The foreign taxes are primarily related to foreign taxes withheld on royalty and 
license fees paid to the U.S. operating entity. SDC has been required to withhold tax upon payment of royalty  and license fees 
to the U.S. operating entity at a rate of 16.5%. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid South Korea withholding 
taxes of $6.6 million, and received a federal refund of $226,000 related to alternative minimum taxes. 

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011  

We  had  operating  income  of  $13.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  compared  to  operating  income  of  $5.7 

million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in operating income was due to: 

•  

•  

an increase in revenue of $22.0 million, which includes increases in both material sales and royalty and license 
fees; offset by 

an  increase  in  operating  expenses  of  $14.0  million,  which  includes  a  $5.9  million  increase  in  research  and 
development expenses and a $5.9 million increase in patent costs and amortization of acquired technology, all of 
which are described below. 

We had net income of $9.7 million (or $0.21 per basic and diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 
a net income of $3.2 million (or $0.07 per basic and diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in net 
income was primarily due to: 

•  

•  

•  

Revenue 

an increase of operating income of $8.0 million; and 

a decrease in loss on stock warrant liability of $4.2 million; offset by 

an increase in income tax expense of $5.9 million

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $22.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 
2011. The increase in our total revenue was primarily due to additional licensing revenues and OLED material sales from the 
expanded  adoption  of  our  technology  and  materials  in  the  marketplace  by  display  manufacturers,  particularly  SDC,  the 
successor-in-interest to SMD.

Phosphorescent emitter sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by approximately $12.2 million compared to 
the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in our commercial material sales was primarily due to the increased adoption 
of our technology and materials in the marketplace by display manufacturers, particularly SDC.  

Host material sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased by $5.2 million compared to the year ended December 
31,  2011. The  decrease  in  our  host  material  sales  was  primarily  due  to  a  large  order  of  host  material  in  2011  for  a  specific 
product that was not repeated by our customer.

Cost  of  commercial  material  sales  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  increased  $1.4  million  from  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2011.  The  increase  in  our  cost  of  commercial  material  sales  was  due  primarily  to  the  aforementioned  8% 
increase in commercial material sales as well as the product mix of materials sold. Cost of commercial material sales includes 
the cost of producing materials that have been classified as commercial and shipping costs for such materials, but excludes the 
cost  of  producing  certain  materials,  which  have  already  been  included  in  research  and  development  expense.  Commercial 
materials are materials that have been validated by us for use in commercial OLED products. 

Depending on the amounts, timing and stage of materials being classified as commercial, we expect cost of materials sales to

material sales increased for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.  

Research and development 

We incurred research and development expenses of $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $24.1 

million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to: 

•  

•  

•  

increased costs of $2.6 million incurred under our agreement with PPG Industries; 

increased costs of $1.7 million related to outsourced research and development efforts; and 

increased costs of $1.6 million related to sponsored research and development contracts. 

Selling, general and administrative 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $18.9 
million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was mainly due to increased employee costs related to salaries and 
expenses  for  new  employees  as  well  as  costs  associated  with  retirement  benefits  for  certain  executive  officers,  offset  by 
decreased marketing and advertising expenses. 

Patent costs and amortization of acquired technology 

Patent  costs  and  amortization  of  acquired  technology  increased  to  $13.4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012, 
compared to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was mainly due to increased amortization costs 
of $4.8 million due to the amortization expense associated with technology acquired from Fujifilm in July 2012. Additionally, 
the increase was due to increased costs associated with our defense of certain ongoing and new challenges to our issued patents, 
as well as the timing of prosecution and maintenance costs associated with a number of patents and patent applications. 

Royalty and license expense 

Royalty and license expense increased to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1.4 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase consisted mainly of royalties incurred under our amended license agreement 
with Princeton, USC, and Michigan, resulting from higher material sales and increased royalty and license fees. 

Interest income 

Interest income increased to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1.0 million for the year ended 

December 31, 2011.

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. As a result, 
certain stock purchase warrants that we issued, but which are no longer outstanding, were considered to be derivatives since 
they contained “down-round” provisions requiring remeasurement at fair value at the end of each period as they were recorded 
as liabilities. 

The fair value of the stock warrant liability was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions 
for certain components of the model, including expected volatility and expected annual dividend yield. The change in fair value 
of the stock warrant liability was recorded as a gain or loss on the statement of income, until all warrants were exercised. 

In 2011, all remaining outstanding stock warrants to purchase shares of our common stock were exercised. The change in fair 
value  of  these  warrants  during  2011  prior  to  the  exercise  date  resulted  in  a  $4.2  million  non-cash  loss  on  our  statement  of 
income for the year ended December 31, 2011. 

Income taxes 

For  the  years  ended  December  31, 2012  and  2011,  the  provision  for  income  taxes  primarily  consisted  of  foreign  taxes  on 
South Korean royalty and license fee income. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold approximately 
$45.2 million of our state-related income tax net operating losses (NOLs) and $232,000 of our research and development tax 
credits under the New Jersey Technology Tax Certificate Transfer Program. We recorded the amount of the completed sale as 
an income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2011 and received the proceeds of $2.7 million in January 2012. 

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012  and  2011  income  tax  expense  (benefit)  was,  $5.2  million  and  ($714,000), 

respectively. 

Although  we  generated  income  before  income  taxes  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  there  was  no 
provision for United States federal or state income taxes, due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards which were 
offset by a full valuation allowance. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Our  principle  sources  of  liquidity  are  our  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  our  short-term  investments. As  of  December 31, 
2013, we  had cash and cash equivalents of  $70.6 million and short-term investments of $202.0 million, for a total of $272.6 
million. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $85.9 million and short-term investments of $158.0 million, for a total 
of $243.9 million, as of December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million was primarily due to 
cash  used in investing activities for the purchase of short-term investments. The increase  in  short-term investments of $44.0 
million was primarily due to the increased cash provided by operating activities. 

Cash provided by operating activities was $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $17.8 million 
for  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012.  The  increase  in  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  was  primarily  due  to  the 
following: 

•  

•  

an increase in net income of $30.8 million, which amount excludes the impact of non-cash items; 

the  impact of the timing of net inventory purchases of $7.6 million based on future customer needs; primarily 
offset by

the impact of the timing of accounts receivable collections of $9.1 million. 

Cash used in investing activities was $54.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $36.1 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in cash used in investing activities was mainly due to the timing of maturities and 
purchases of investments, increased property and equipment purchases of $2.0 million, partially offset by decreased intangible 
asset additions during the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was due to the large portfolio of patents we purchased 
from Fujifilm during the year ended December 31, 2012. 

Cash  used  in  financing  activities  was  $5.5  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  compared  to  cash  used  of  $7.5 
million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to proceeds 
of $2.8 million from the exercise of options in the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to proceeds of $1.5 million from 
the  exercise  of  options  and  warrants  to  purchase  shares  of  our  common  stock  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012. 
Additionally, in connection with stock-based employee compensation and option exercises for the  years ended December 31, 
2013 and 2012, we made payments of $3.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, in withholding taxes, corresponding to the 
value of shares surrendered by the individuals for whom such payments were made.

Working  capital  was  $303.8  million  as  of  December 31,  2013,  compared  to  $245.2  million  as  of  December 31,  2012. The 
increase  in  working  capital  is  primarily  due  to  the  increase  in  short-term  investments  as  well  as  an  increase  in  deferred  tax 
assets as a result of the release of certain income tax valuation allowances. 

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 twelve 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 outstanding stock 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.

(1) Under the 1997 Amended License Agreement, we are obligated to pay Princeton minimum royalties of $100,000 per year until such times 

the agreement is no longer in effect. The agreement has no scheduled expiration date. 

(2) See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of obligations upon termination of employment of executive officers 

as a result of a change in our control. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

As  of  December 31,  2013,  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  investments 
disclosed  in  “Fair  Value  Measurements”  in  Note  2  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  included  herein.  We  generally 
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. However, based upon the conservative  nature of our investment portfolio and current experience,  we  do not 
believe a decrease in investment yields would have a material negative effect on our interest income. 

Substantially all our revenue is derived from outside of North America. All revenue is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars 

and therefore we bear no significant foreign exchange risk.

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, 2013. 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 effective 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. 

Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting  and  Report  of  Independent  Registered  Public 
Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

The  report  of  management  on  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  the  associated  attestation  report  of  our

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING  

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  for  the 
Company.  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, 
2013  based  upon  criteria  in  Internal  Control —  Integrated  Framework  (1992)  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,  2013,  based  on  the  criteria  in  Internal  Control-
Integrated Framework (1992) issued by COSO. 

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, has been attested to by KPMG 

LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears on the following page.

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, 2013, based on 
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) 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, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 

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, 2013 and 2012, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in 
the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated February 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on 
those consolidated financial statements.

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, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, 
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. 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,  2013  and  2012,  and  the  results  of  their 
operations and their cash  flows  for each of  the  years  in  the  three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity  with 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
Universal Display Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established 
in  Internal  Control —  Integrated  Framework  (1992)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the Treadway 
Commission  (COSO),  and  our  report  dated  February  28,  2014  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1.  BUSINESS: 

Universal  Display  Corporation  (the  Company)  is  engaged  in  the  research,  development  and  commercialization  of  organic 
light emitting diode (OLED) technologies and materials for use in displays for  smartphones, tablets and televisions as well as 
solid-state lighting applications. The Company's business strategy is to develop new OLED materials and sell those materials to 
product manufacturers. The Company develops and licenses its proprietary OLED technologies to product manufacturers for 
use  in  these  applications.  Through  internal  research  and  development  efforts  and  acquisitions  from  and  relationships  with 
entities  such  as  Princeton  University  (Princeton),  the  University  of  Southern  California  (USC),  the  University  of  Michigan 
(Michigan),  Fujifilm  Corporation  (Fujifilm),  Motorola  Solutions,  Inc.  (f/k/a  Motorola,  Inc.)  (Motorola)  and  PPG  Industries, 
Inc. (PPG Industries), the Company has established a significant portfolio of proprietary OLED technologies and materials (see 
Notes 3, 5 and 7). 

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.,  Universal  Display  Corporation  Korea,  Y.H., 
Universal Display Corporation Japan, G.K. and UDC Ireland Limited. 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 areas of revenue recognition for license agreements, the 
useful  life  of  acquired  technology,  the  valuation  of  the  Company's  convertible  promissory  note  investments,  income  taxes 
including  realization  of  deferred  tax  assets,  stock-based  compensation  and  retirement  benefit  plan  liabilities.  Actual  results 
could differ from those estimates. 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and 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  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. Investments at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consist of the following (in thousands):

On July 13, 2012, the Company entered into a three-year joint development agreement with Plextronics, Inc. (Plextronics), a 
private  company  engaged  in  printed  solar,  lighting  and  other  electronics  related  research  and  development.  The  Company 
invested  $4.0  million  in  Plextronics  through  the  purchase  of  a  convertible  promissory  note.  The  Company  also  received 
warrants  in  connection  with  the  purchase  of  the  convertible  note.  The  note  accrues  interest  at  the  rate  of  3%  per  year.  The 
Company  modified  the  note  extending  its  due  date  beyond  the  original  due  date  of  June  30,  2013. Depending  on  certain 
conditions,  the  note  may  either  convert  automatically,  or  if  other  certain  conditions  are  met,  the  Company  has  the  option  to 
convert the note into shares of Plextronics’ preferred stock at a specified conversion price. The note was classified as a long-
term investment at December 31, 2013, and was classified as a short-term investment at December 31, 2012. See Fair Value 
Measurements below for additional information regarding the note. 

On  December  20,  2013,  the  Company  served  notice  of  its  intent  to  terminate  the  joint  development  agreement  with 
Plextronics. Effective as of December 23, 2013, the Company terminated all commitments to pay Plextronics, as permissible 
under the terms of the joint development agreement. 

On July 17, 2012, the Company invested $300,000 in a private company engaged in plasma processing equipment research 
and development (the Borrower) through the purchase of a convertible promissory note. The note accrues interest at the rate of 
5% per year and is due and payable by August 1, 2015. The note is included in investments on the consolidated balance sheet. 
The Company has the option to convert the note into shares of the Borrower’s preferred stock at a specified conversion price. 

All short-term investments held at December 31, 2013 will mature within one year. 

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 ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. 

Inventory 

Inventory, which consists of materials that have been classified as commercial, is valued at the lower of cost or market using 
the  first-in,  first-out  method.  Commercial  materials  are  materials  that  have  been  validated  by  the  Company  for  use  in 
commercial OLED products.

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's or liability’s classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

The  Company's  convertible  promissory  note  investments  are  currently  classified  within  investments  on  the  consolidated 

balance sheet. 

These convertible promissory note investments are inherently risky as the notes lack a ready market for resale and the note 
issuer's  success  is  dependent  on  numerous  factors,  including,  among  others,  product  development,  market  acceptance, 
operational efficiency, the ability of the investee companies to raise additional funds in financial markets that can be volatile, 
and other key business factors. Additionally, the companies that the Company has invested in could fail or not be able to raise 
additional  funds  when  needed.  Should  one  or  more  of  these  events  occur,  they  could  cause  the  Company's  investments  to 
significantly decrease in value. In addition, financial market volatility could negatively affect the Company's ability to realize 
value in the Company's investments through liquidity events, such as mergers and private sales. 

The Company determines the fair value of its convertible promissory note investments portfolio quarterly. The fair value of 
the  Company's  convertible  promissory  note  investments  is  determined  through  the  consideration  of  whether  the  investee  is 
experiencing financial difficulty, overall trends in interest rates and other factors. Management also performs an evaluation of 
the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future. The evaluation requires 
significant  judgment  and  includes  quantitative  and  qualitative  analysis  of  identified  events  or  circumstances  affecting  the 
investee, which may impact the fair value of the investment, such as: 

•  

•  

•  

•  

the investee's revenue and earnings trends relative to pre-defined milestones and overall business prospects;  

the technological feasibility of the investee's products and technologies;  

the general market conditions in the investee's industry or geographic area, including adverse regulatory or economic 
changes;  

factors related to the investee's ability to remain in business, such as the investee's liquidity, debt ratios, and the rate at 
which the investee is using its cash; and 

•  

the investee's receipt of additional funding at a lower valuation.  

Changes in fair value of the investments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss).   

If  a  decline  in  fair  value  of  a  convertible  promissory  note  investment  below  its  carrying  value  is  deemed  to  be  other  than 
temporary,  the  amortized  cost  basis  of  the  Company’s  investment  will  be  written  down  by  the  amount  of  the  other-than-
temporary impairment with a resulting charge to net income. There were no other-than-temporary impairments of convertible 
promissory note investments as of December 31, 2013. On January 16, 2014, Plextronics, one of the companies that issued the 
Company a convertible promissory note, for an original principal amount of $4.0 million, filed a voluntary petition for relief 
under  Chapter  11  of  the  Bankruptcy  Code  in  the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Court  of  the  District  of  Delaware  (Bankruptcy 
Court). The debtor company is seeking an Order authorizing the sale of substantially all of its assets. On February 14, 2014, the 
Bankruptcy  Court  approved  the  bidding  procedures  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  substantially  all  of  the  debtor  company’s 
assets, including approval of a minimum stalking horse bid under which the Company's investment of $4.0 million would be 
satisfied in full. If any qualified bids are received under the approved bidding procedures, which are required to be superior to 
the current stalking horse bid, then on March 5, 2014, an auction for the sale of the debtor’s assets will be held. A sale hearing 
is currently scheduled for March 6, 2014. Based upon the Company's expectation of full payment resulting from the sale of the 
debtor company's assets and the bankruptcy process, no impairment has been recorded as of December 31, 2013. If the sale and 
bankruptcy process does not occur as expected, a full or partial impairment of the investment may be necessary. 

The following table is a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of the Company’s investments in convertible notes for the 

years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, which had been classified in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

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 and investments 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, 2013, Company management believed that no revision to the remaining useful lives or write-down of the Company’s long-
lived assets was required, and similarly, no such revisions were required for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011. 

Stock Warrant Liability 

The  Company  had  warrants  to  purchase  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding  containing  a  “down-round”  provision. In 
accordance  with  the  guidance  in Accounting  Standards  Codification  (ASC)  815,  Derivatives  and  Hedging,  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 
income. The  change  in  fair  value  of  these  warrants  resulted  in  a  non-cash  loss  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  statement  of 
income of $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. In 2011, all remaining outstanding stock warrants to purchase 
shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised. 

The fair value of the stock warrant liability was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 

Net Income Per Common Share 

Basic  net  income  per  common  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  by  the  weighted-average  number  of  shares  of 
common  stock  outstanding  for  the  period  excluding  unvested  restricted  stock  awards,  restricted  stock  units  and  performance 
units. Diluted  net  income  per  common  share  reflects  the  potential  dilution  from  the  exercise  or  conversion  of  securities  into 
common stock, the effect of unvested restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance units, and the impact of

and  restricted  stock  units,  and  outstanding  stock  options  of  212,941,  and  the  impact  of  shares  to  be  issued  under  the  ESPP, 
which was minor, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as their impact would have been antidilutive. For the year 
ended December 31, 2011, the effect of 586,972 warrants prior to their exercise was excluded from the calculation of diluted 
EPS as the impact would have been antidilutive.  

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue 

Material sales relate to the Company’s sale of its OLED materials for incorporation into its customers’ commercial OLED 
products or for their OLED development and evaluation activities. Material sales are 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  receives  license  and  royalty  payments  under  certain  commercial,  development  and  technology  evaluation 
agreements, some of which are non-refundable advances. These payments may include royalty and license fees made pursuant 
to license agreements and also license fees included as part of certain commercial supply agreements. Certain of the payments 
under  development  and  technology  evaluation  agreements  are  creditable  against  future  amounts  payable  under  commercial 
license  agreements  that  the  parties  may  subsequently  enter  into  and,  as  such,  are  deferred  until  such  commercial  license 
agreements  are  executed  or  negotiations  have  ceased  and  Company  management  determines  that  there  is  no  appreciable 
likelihood of executing a commercial license agreement with the other party. Revenue would then be recognized over the term 
of the agreement or the expected useful life of the relevant licensed technology, for perpetual licenses, if there is an effective 
commercial license agreement or amounts are not creditable against future commercial license  fees, or at the time  Company 
management  determines  that  there  is  no  appreciable  likelihood  of  an  executable  commercial  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, 
2013, may not be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2013, $4.3 million was recorded as 
deferred revenue, none of which is creditable against future commercial license agreements that have not yet been executed or 
deemed effective. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, $1.5 million and $1.9 million of revenue was 
recognized relating to cash payments received that were creditable against license fees and/or royalties for which the Company 
determined  there  was  no  appreciable  likelihood  of  executing  a  commercial  license  agreement  with  the  customer.  For 
arrangements  with  extended  payment  terms  where  the  fee  is  not  fixed  and  determinable,  the  Company  recognizes  revenue 
when the payment is due and payable. Royalty revenue and license fees included as part of commercial supply agreements are 
recognized when earned and the amount is fixed and determinable. 

Technology  development  and  support  revenue  is  revenue  earned  from  government  contracts,  development  and  technology 
evaluation agreements and commercialization assistance fees, which includes 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.

Currently,  the  Company's  most  significant  commercial  license  agreement,  which  runs  through  the  end  of  2017,  is  with 
Samsung  Display  Co.,  Ltd.  (SDC)  and  covers  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  specified  OLED  display  products.  Under  this 
agreement, the Company is being paid a license fee, payable in semi-annual installments over the agreement term of 6.4 years. 
The installments, which are due in the second and fourth quarter of each year, increase on an annual basis over the term of the 
agreement. The agreement conveys to SDC the non-exclusive right to use certain of the Company's intellectual property assets 
for a limited period of time that is less than the estimated life of the assets. Ratable recognition of revenue is impacted by the 
agreement's extended increasing payment terms in light of the Company's limited history with similar agreements. As a result, 
revenue is recognized at the lesser of the proportional performance approach (ratable) and the amount of due and payable fees 
from  SDC.  Given  the  increasing  contractual  payment  schedule,  license  fees  under  the  agreement  are  recognized  as  revenue 
when they become due and payable, which is currently scheduled to be in the second and fourth quarter of each year.  

Included  in  accounts  receivable  as  of  December  31,  2013  and  2012  are  unbilled  receivables  of  $92,000  and  $308,000, 

respectively. All amounts are billed and due within one year. 

Cost of Material Sales 

Cost of material sales represents costs associated with the sale of materials that have been classified as commercial including 
shipping  costs.  Commercial  materials  are  materials  that  have  been  validated  by  the  Company  for  use  in  commercial  OLED 
products. Prior to their designation as commercial materials, costs incurred related to the materials are included in research and 
development costs. 

Research and Development 

Expenditures  for  research  and  development  are  charged  to  operations  as  incurred.  Research  and  development  expenses

Patent Costs and Amortization of Acquired Technology 

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.  Amortization  costs  relate  to 
technology acquired from Fujifilm and Motorola in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency Transactions 

The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for the Company's Ireland subsidiary is also the 
U.S. dollar and the functional currency for each of the Company's Asia-Pacific foreign subsidiaries is its local currency. The 
Company translates the amounts included in the consolidated statements of income from its Asia-Pacific foreign subsidiaries 
into U.S.  dollars at  weighted-average exchange rates,  which the  Company believes are representative of the actual exchange 
rates on the dates of the transactions. The Company's foreign subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars 
from the local currency at the actual exchange rates as of the end of each reporting date, and the Company records the resulting 
foreign  exchange  translation  adjustments  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other 
comprehensive loss. The overall effect of the translation of foreign currency and foreign currency transactions to date has been 
insignificant.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012,  and  2011,  the  Company  paid  cash  of  approximately  $6.6  million,  $5.3 

million and $2.0 million for income taxes. 

Income Taxes 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the 
future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and 
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the  years in  which those temporary differences are 
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in 
income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those 
positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount of 
which the likelihood of realization is greater than 50%. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in 
which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits 
as a component of tax expense. 

Share-Based Payment Awards 

The  Company  recognizes  in  the  statements  of  income  the  grant-date  fair  value  of  stock  options  and  other  equity  based 
compensation,  such  as  shares  issued  under  employee  stock  purchase  plans,  restricted  stock  awards,  restricted  stock  units, 
performance unit awards and stock appreciation rights (SARs), 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 respective 
grant, exercise or vesting of share-based payment awards, as applicable. 

Cash-settled SARs awarded in share-based payment transactions are classified as liability awards; accordingly, the Company 
records these awards as a component of accrued expenses on its consolidated balance  sheets. The fair  value of each  SAR is 
estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is remeasured at each reporting period until the award is settled. 
Changes in the fair value of the liability award are recorded as expense or income in the statements of income. 

Performance unit awards are subject to either a performance-based or market-based vesting requirement. For performance-
based vesting, the grant-date fair value of the award, based on fair value of the Company's common stock, is recognized over 
the  service  period,  based  on  an  assessment  of  the  likelihood  that  the  applicable  performance  goals  will  be  achieved  and 
compensation  expense  is  periodically  adjusted  based  on  actual  and  expected  performance.  Compensation  expense  for 
performance unit awards with market-based vesting is calculated based on the estimated fair value as of the grant date utilizing 
a Monte Carlo simulation model and is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended standards that revised the reporting of 
reclassifications  out  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  and  addressed  certain  matters  from  standards  for 
reporting of other comprehensive income (loss) that were deferred pending additional consideration. The amendment requires 
an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. 
In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income (loss) is presented or in the 
notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated  other comprehensive income (loss) by the respective line items of 
net income (loss) but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income (loss) in its 
entirety  in  the  same  reporting  period.  For  other  amounts  that  are  not  required  under  U.S.  GAAP  to  be  reclassified  in  their 
entirety to net income (loss), entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide 
additional detail on these amounts. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 
2012.  The  Company  adopted  this  guidance  in  the  first  quarter  of  2013,  and  such  adoption  did  not  have  an  impact  on  the 
Company’s results of operations or financial position, but did change the Company’s disclosures related to accumulated other 
comprehensive income (loss). 

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of 
an  Unrecognized  Tax  Benefit When  a  Net  Operating  Loss  Carryforward,  a  Similar  Tax  Loss,  or  a  Tax  Credit  Carryforward 
Exists. ASU No. 2013-11 requires presentation of an  unrecognized tax benefit in  the  financial statements as a  reduction to a 
deferred  tax  asset  for  a  net  operating  loss  carryforward,  a  similar  tax  loss,  or  a  tax  credit  carryforward.  To  the  extent  a  net 
operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax 
law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position 
or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred 
tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit would be presented in the financial statements as a liability and would 
not  be  combined  with  deferred  tax  assets. ASU  No.  2013-11  is  effective  for  financial  statements  issued  for  annual  reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. Adoption of the new requirements of ASU 
No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations 

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  (the  1997  Research  Agreement). The  principal  investigator 
conducting  work  under  the  1997  Research Agreement  transferred  to  Michigan  in  January  2006. Following  this  transfer,  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 Sponsored Research Agreement (as amended, 
the 2006 Research Agreement) was effective as of May 1, 2006 and had an original term of three years. On May 1, 2009, the 
Company amended the 2006 Research Agreement to extend the term of the agreement for an additional four 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  were  made  to  USC  on  a  quarterly  basis  as  actual  expenses  were 
incurred. The  Company  incurred  a  total  of  $5.0  million  in  research  and  development  expense  for  work  performed  under  the 
2006 Research Agreement during the extended term, which ended on April 30, 2013. 

Effective June 1, 2013, the Company amended the 2006 Research Agreement again to extend the term of the agreement for 
an additional four years. As of December 31, 2013, the Company is obligated to pay USC up to $7.9 million for work to be 
actually  performed  during  the  remaining  extended  term,  which  expires  April  30,  2017. From  June  1,  2013  through 
December 31,  2013,  the  Company  incurred  $670,000  in  research  and  development  expense  for  work  performed  under  the 
newly amended 2006 Research Agreement. 

On October 9, 1997, the Company, Princeton and USC entered into an Amended License Agreement (as amended, the 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. Under this 1997 
Amended License 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. 

F-17 

 
 
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 recorded royalty expense in connection with this agreement of 
$3.2 million, $2.1 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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.

2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Motorola Patent Acquisition 

In  2000,  the  Company  entered  into  a  royalty-bearing  license  agreement  with  Motorola  whereby  Motorola  granted  the 
Company 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 expire in the U.S. between 2014 and 2018. 

F-18 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On March 9, 2011, the Company purchased these patents from Motorola, including all existing and future claims and causes 
of  action  for  any  infringement  of  the  patents,  pursuant  to  a  Patent  Purchase  Agreement. The  Patent  Purchase  Agreement 
effectively terminated the Company’s license agreement with Motorola, including any obligation to make royalty payments to 
Motorola. 

The technology acquired from Motorola had an assigned value of $440,000 as of March 9, 2011, which is being amortized 

over a period of 7.5 years. 

Fujifilm Patent Acquisition 

On July 23, 2012, the Company entered into a Patent Sale Agreement (the Agreement) with Fujifilm. Under the Agreement, 
Fujifilm sold more than 1,200 OLED-related patents and patent applications in exchange for a cash payment of $105.0 million. 
The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, including respective covenants not to sue by 
both parties thereto. The Agreement permitted the Company to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Agreement to its 
affiliates, and the Company assigned, prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, its rights 
and obligations to UDC Ireland Limited (UDC Ireland), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of 
the Republic of Ireland. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement were consummated on July 26, 2012.  

The Company recorded the $105.0 million plus $4.1 million of costs as acquired technology which is being amortized over a 
period of 10 years. The total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 associated with acquired 
technology  is  $11.0  million  and  $4.8  million,  respectively,  and  is  included  in  the  patent  costs  and  amortization  of  acquired 
technology expense line item on the consolidated statements of income.

On  October 1,  2000,  the  Company  entered  into  a  five-year  Development  and  License  Agreement  (the  Development 
Agreement)  and  a  seven-year  Supply  Agreement  (the  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  (the 
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 was subsequently extended through 
December 31, 2014. 

On  September  22,  2011,  the  Company  entered  into  an  Amended  and  Restated  OLED  Materials  Supply  and  Service 
Agreement  with  PPG  Industries  (the  New  OLED  Materials  Agreement),  which  replaced  the  original  OLED  Materials 
Agreement with PPG Industries effective as of October 1, 2011. The term of the New OLED Materials Agreement runs through 
December 31, 2015 and shall be automatically renewed for additional one year terms, unless terminated by the Company by 
providing  prior  notice  of  one  year  or  terminated  by  PPG by  providing  prior  notice  of  two  years.  The  New  OLED  Materials 
Agreement  contains  provisions  that  are  substantially  similar  to  those  of  the  original  OLED  Materials Agreement.  Under  the 
New  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. 

Under the New 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 all cash. 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 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  $20.00,  the 
Company is required to compensate PPG Industries in cash. 

The  Company  is  also  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. 

The Company issued 181 shares of the Company’s common stock to PPG Industries as consideration for services provided 
by PPG Industries during the year ended December 31, 2011. For these shares, the Company recorded expense of $9,000 for 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2011.  No  shares  were  issued  for  services  to  PPG  for  the years  ended  December  31, 2013  and 
2012. 

The Company recorded expense of $7.5 million, $6.2 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 
and 2011, respectively, in relation to the cash portion of the reimbursement of expenses and work performed by PPG Industries, 
excluding amounts paid for commercial chemicals. 

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.

Stock Repurchase Program 

On November 14, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company 
to purchase shares of its common stock up to a total purchase price of $50.0 million over the subsequent 12 months. During the 
years  ended  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  the  Company  purchased  195,599  and  205,902  shares,  respectively,  at  a  cost  of 
approximately $5.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The repurchase program ended during the quarter ended December 
31, 2013. 

Public Offering 

In March 2011, the Company sold 5,750,000 shares of its Common Stock at $46.00 per share in a registered underwritten 
public  offering.  The  offering  resulted  in  proceeds  to  the  Company  of  $249.6  million,  which  was  net  of  $14.9  million  in 
underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs associated with completion of the offering. 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, warrants to purchase 586,972 shares of common stock were exercised, resulting 
in  proceeds  to  the  Company  of  $7.4  million.  As  of  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  the  Company  had  no  warrants  to 
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. 

Scientific Advisory Board and Employee Awards 

In March 2013 and 2012 and in January 2011, respectively, the Company granted a total of 22,568, 16,866 and 59,472 shares 
of  fully  vested  common  stock  to  employees  and  non-employee  members  of  the  Scientific  Advisory  Board  for  services 
performed in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of the shares issued was $435,000, $376,000 and $1.8 million, 
respectively, for employees and $300,000, $300,000 and $300,000,  respectively, for non-employee members of the Scientific 
Advisory  Board,  which  amounts  were  accrued  at  December  31,  2012,  2011  and  2010,  respectively.  In  connection  with  the 
issuance of these grants, 4,672, 3,070 and 18,792 shares, respectively, with fair  values of $154,000, $124,000 and $655,000, 
respectively, were withheld in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

11.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: 

The  Company  recognizes  in  the  statements  of  income the  grant-date  fair  value  of  stock  options  and  other  equity  based 
compensation,  such  as  shares  issued  under  employee  stock  purchase  plans,  restricted  stock  awards,  restricted  stock  units, 
performance unit awards and SARs, 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 respective 
grant, exercise or vesting of share-based payment awards, as applicable. 

Cash-settled SARs awarded in share-based payment transactions are classified as liability awards; accordingly, the Company 
records  these  awards  as  a  component  of  accrued  expenses  on  its  consolidated  balance  sheets. The  fair  value  of  each  SAR  is 
estimated  using  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  and  is  remeasured  at  each  reporting  period  until  the  award  is 
settled. Changes in the fair value of the liability award are recorded as expense or income in the statements of income. 

Performance unit awards are subject to either a performance-based or market-based vesting requirement. For performance-
based vesting, the grant-date fair value of the award, based on fair value of the Company's common stock, is recognized over 
the  service  period,  based  on  an  assessment  of  the  likelihood  that  the  applicable  performance  goals  will  be  achieved  and 
compensation  expense  is  periodically  adjusted  based  on  actual  and  expected  performance.  Compensation  expense  for 
performance unit awards with market-based vesting is calculated based on the estimated fair value as of the grant date utilizing 
a Monte Carlo simulation model and is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis.

Equity Compensation Plan 

In 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock option plan, which was 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.  Through  December  31,  2013,  the  Company’s  shareholders  have  approved 
increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Compensation Plan to 8,000,000, and have extended 
the term of the plan through 2015. At December 31, 2013, there were 1,301,170 shares that remained available to be granted 
under the Equity Compensation Plan.

granted was $32.76, $37.95 and $35.21 during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Restricted Stock Awards and Units 

The  Company  has  issued  restricted  stock  awards  and  units  to  employees  and  non-employee  members  of  the  Scientific 
Advisory Board with vesting terms of one to six years. The fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s common 
stock on the date of grant for awards granted to employees and equal to the market price at the end of the reporting period for 
unvested  non-employee  awards  or  upon  the  date  of  vesting  for  vested  non-employee  awards.  Expense  for  restricted  stock 
awards and units 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,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  the  Company  recorded,  as  compensation  charges  related  to  all 
restricted stock awards and  units,  selling, general and administrative expense of $3.8  million, $2.9  million and $3.0 million, 
respectively, and research and development expense of $1.9 million, $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  In connection 
with the vesting of restricted stock awards and units during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, 
89,635, 90,929 and 83,089 shares, with aggregate fair values of $2.8 million, $3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, were 
withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations. 

Fully Vested Stock Grants 

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively,  the  Company  granted  to  employees  and  non-
employees  123,  1,755  and  3,196  shares  of  restricted  stock,  which  shares  fully  vested  as  of  the  date  of  grant.  The  Company 
recorded research and development expense of $3,000, $67,000 and $129,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 
and 2011, respectively, for the fair value of these awards. 

Board of Directors Compensation 

The Company has granted restricted stock units to non-employee members of the Board of Directors with vesting terms of 
approximately one year. The fair value is equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The 
restricted stock units are issued and expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. For the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded, compensation charges for services performed, related to all restricted stock  units 
granted  to  non-employee  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense  of  $525,000, 
$532,000  and  $816,000,  respectively.  Restricted  stock  issued  during  2013,  2012,  and  2011  was  20,000,  20,000,  and  20,000 
shares. 

Performance Unit Awards 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted 35,776 performance units, of which 17,888 are subject to a 
performance-based  vesting  requirement  and  17,888  are  subject  to  a  market-based  vesting  requirement  and  will  vest  over  the 
terms described below. Total fair value of the performance unit awards granted was $1.4 million on the date of grant.  

Each  performance  unit  award  is  subject  to  both  a  performance-vesting  requirement  (either  performance-based  or  market-

based) and a service-vesting requirement. 

F-24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The performance-based vesting requirement is tied to the Company's cumulative revenue growth compared to the cumulative 
revenue growth of companies comprising the Nasdaq Electronics Components Index, as measured over a two-year performance 
period  beginning  January  1,  2013  and  ending  December  31,  2014.  The  market-based  vesting  requirement  is  tied  to  the 
Company's  total  shareholder  return  relative  to  the  total  shareholder  return  of  companies  comprising  the  Nasdaq  Electronics 
Components  Index,  as  measured  over  a  two-year  performance  period  beginning  January  1,  2013  and  ending  December  31, 
2014.  

The maximum number of performance units that may vest based on performance is two times the shares granted. Further, if 

the Company's total shareholder return is negative, the performance units may not vest above the shares granted. 

The following table summarizes the activity related to performance unit awards:

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded general and administrative expense of $453,000 and research 

and development expense of $137,000 related to performance units. 

Stock Appreciation Rights 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company granted 24,000 cash-settled SARs to certain executive officers. The 
SARs  represented  the  right  to  receive,  for  each  SAR,  a  cash  payment  equal  to  the  amount,  if  any,  by  which  the  fair  market 
value  of  a  share  of  the  common  stock  of  the  Company  on  the  vesting  date  exceeded  the  base  price  of  the  SAR  award. The 
SARs vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the grantee was still an employee of the Company on 
the applicable vesting date. There was no SARs activity during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. 

The  fair  value  of  the  SARs  was  $1.93  per  SAR  at  December  31,  2011,  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 remaining 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. SARs are liability-classified awards that must be remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, and 
cumulative compensation cost recognized to date must be adjusted each reporting period for changes in fair value prorated for 
the portion of the requisite service period rendered. The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair 
value of the SARs at December 31, 2011: 

Dividend yield rate

23.4 % 
0.02 %

Based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  SARs,  as  of  December  31, 2011,  the  Company  recorded  selling  general  and  administrative 
expense of $13,000 and research and development expense of $32,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the year 
ended  December  31,  2012,  all  SARs  were  settled,  resulting  in  cash  payments  of  $49,000. The  Company  recorded  $1,000  to 
general and administrative expense, and $3,000 to research and development expense, for the year ended December 31, 2012, 
related to the SARs. No such grants were made in 2012 or 2013. 

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. 

F-25 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 14,366, 11,667 and 10,531 shares of its common 
stock under the ESPP, resulting in proceeds of $343,000, $321,000 and $307,000, respectively. For the years ended December 
31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded charges of $36,000, $26,000 and $31,000, respectively, to selling, general and 
administrative  expense and $71,000, $78,000 and $76,000, respectively, to research and development expense, related to the 
ESPP equal to the amount of the discount and the value of the look-back feature. 

12.  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, 2013 there were six 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 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 the Company’s 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  $5.6  million  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 the year ending December 31, 2014 is $584,000.

13.  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. 

Patent Related Challenges and Oppositions 

Each  major jurisdiction in the  world that issues patents provides both third parties and applicants an opportunity to seek a 
further  review  of  an  issued  patent.  The  specific  process  for  requesting  and  considering  such  reviews  are  specific  to  the 
jurisdiction that issued the patent in question, and generally do not include claims for monetary damages or specific claims  of 
infringement. The conclusions made by the reviewing administrative bodies tend to be appealable and generally are limited in 
scope and applicability to the specific claims and jurisdiction in question. 

The  Company  believes  that  opposition  proceedings  are  frequently  commenced  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business  by  third 
parties who may believe that a specific patent or claims in the patent do not comply with the technical or legal requirements of 
the  specific  jurisdiction  in  which  the  patent  was  issued.  The  Company  views  these  proceedings  as  reflective  of  its  goal  of 
obtaining  the  broadest  legally  permissible  patent  coverage  permitted  in  each  jurisdiction.  Once  a  proceeding  is  initiated,  the 
issued  patent  continues  to  be  presumed  valid  until  the  jurisdiction’s  applicable  administrative  body  issues  a  final  non-
appealable  decision.  Depending  on  the  jurisdiction,  the  outcome  of  these  proceedings  could  include  affirmation,  denial  or 
modification of some or all of the originally issued claims. The Company believes that as its portfolio increases in size, so will 
the number of these proceedings. 

F-28 

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Below  are  summaries  of  proceedings  that  have  been  commenced  against  certain  issued  patents  that  are  either  exclusively 
licensed to the Company or which are now assigned to the Company. The Company does not believe that the confirmation, loss 
or  modification  of  the  Company's  rights  in  any  individual  claim  or  set  of  claims  that  are  the  subject  of  the  following  legal 
proceedings  would  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  material  sales  or  licensing  business  or  on  the  Company's 
consolidated financial statements, including its consolidated statements of income, as a  whole. However, as noted within the 
descriptions,  some  of  the  following  proceedings  involve  issued  patents  that  relate  to  the  Company's  fundamental 
phosphorescent  OLED  technologies  and  the  Company  intends  to  vigorously  defend  against  claims  that,  in  the  Company's 
opinion, seek to restrict or reduce the scope  of the originally issued claim,  which  may require the expenditure of significant 
amounts of the Company's resources. In certain circumstances, when permitted, the Company may also utilize the proceedings 
to  request  modification  of  the  claims  to  better  distinguish  the  patented  invention  from  any  newly  identified  prior  art  and/or 
improve the claim scope of the patent relative to commercially important categories of the  invention. The entries marked with 
an "*" relate to the Company's UniversalPHOLED phosphorescent OLED technology, some of which may be commercialized 
by the Company. 

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),  which  relates  to  the 
Company's  FOLED™  flexible  OLED  technology.  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 are exclusively licensed to the 
Company by Princeton, and the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

On  November  26,  2009,  the  European  Patent  Office  (the  EPO)  issued  its  written  decision  to  reject  the  opposition  and  to 
maintain the patent as granted. On April 12, 2010, CDT filed an appeal to the EPO panel decision. On August 19,  2010, the 
Company filed a timely response to the EPO panel decision. 

At this time, based on its current knowledge, the Company believes that the EPO panel decision will be upheld on appeal. 

However, the Company cannot make any assurances of this result. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1449238* 

In  2007,  Sumation  Company  Limited  (Sumation),  a  joint  venture  between  Sumitomo  and  CDT,  Merck  Patent  GmbH,  of 
Darmstadt, Germany, and BASF Aktiengesellschaft, of Mannheim, Germany, filed Notices 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;  7,537,844;  and  7,883,787;  and  to  pending  U.S.  patent 
applications 13/009,001, filed on January 19, 2011, and 13/205,290, filed on August 9, 2011 (hereinafter the “U.S. '828 Patent 
Family”). They are exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and the Company is required to pay all legal costs and 
fees associated with this proceeding. 

On  January  13,  2012,  the  EPO  issued  a  decision  to  maintain  the  patent  with  claims  directed  to  OLEDs  comprising 

phosphorescent organometallic iridium compounds. 

All the parties appealed the EPO's panel decision. An Oral Hearing was held in the EPO on November 22, 2013, in which the 
EPO Appellate Board reversed the decision of the prior panel and revoked the patent in its entirety. The Company is currently 
reviewing the  written decision  which it received on February 21, 2014 to evaluate  whether to proceed with an appeal of the 
decision to the Enlarged Board of Appeals, or simply continue prosecuting claims directed to the invention in additional related 
pending divisional applications in the EPO which claim priority from the same original priority application. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870* 

On April 20, 2010, Merck Patent GmbH; 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 
filed Notices of Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870 (the EP '870 patent). The EP '870 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;  7,563,519;  and  7,901,795;  and  to  pending  U.S.  patent  application  13/035,051,  filed  on  February  25,  2011 
(hereinafter the “U.S. '238 Patent Family”). They are exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and the Company is 
required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

The matter has been briefed and an Oral hearing has been scheduled by the EPO in the second quarter of 2014. 

At  this  time,  based  on  the  Company's  current  knowledge,  the  Company  believes  there  is  a  substantial  likelihood  that  the 
patent  being  challenged  will  be  declared  valid  and  that  all  or  a  significant  portion  of  the  Company's  claims  will  be  upheld. 
However, the Company cannot make any assurances of this result.

Invalidation Trials in Japan for Japan Patent Nos. 4357781 and 4358168* 

On  May  24,  2010,  the  Company  received  Notices  of  Invalidation  Trials  against  Japan  Patent  Nos.  4357781  (the  JP  '781 
patent)  and  4358168  (the  JP  '168  patent),  which  were  both  issued  on  August  14,  2009.  The  requests  were  filed  by 
Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd. (SEL). The JP '781 and JP '168 patents are Japanese counterpart patents, in part, to 
the  above-noted  U.S.  '828  Patent  Family.  They  are  exclusively  licensed  to  the  Company  by  Princeton,  and  the  Company  is 
required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

On March 31, 2011, the Company learned that the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) had issued decisions finding all claims in the 

JP '781 and JP '168 patents invalid. 

Both parties appealed this matter to the Japanese IP High Court. On November 7, 2012, the Company was notified that the 
Japanese  IP  High  Court  had  reversed  the  JPO's  finding  of  invalidity  and  remanded  the  case  back  to  the  JPO  for  further 
consideration. 

In  a  decision  reported  to  the  Company  on April  15,  2013,  all  claims  in  the  Company's  JP  '781  and  JP  '168  patents  were 

upheld as valid by the JPO. The Company's opponent appealed this decision. 

At  this  time,  based  on  the  Company's  current  knowledge,  the  Company  believes  that  the  claims  on  the  patents  should  be 

upheld. However, the Company cannot make any assurances of this result. 

Invalidation Trial in Japan for Japan Patent No. 4511024* 

On June 16, 2011, the Company learned that a Request for an Invalidation Trial was filed in Japan for its Japanese Patent No. 
JP-4511024 (the JP '024 patent), which issued on May 14, 2010. The Request was filed by SEL, the same opponent as in the 
above-noted Japanese Invalidation Trials for the JP '781 and JP '168 patents. The JP '024 patent is a counterpart patent, in part, 
to  the  U.S.  '238  Patent  Family,  which  relate  to  the  EP  '870  patent,  which  is  subject  to  one  of  the  above-noted  European 
oppositions and  which relates to the Company's UniversalPHOLED phosphorescent OLED technology. They are exclusively 
licensed  to  the  Company  by  Princeton,  and  the  Company  is  required  to  pay  all  legal  costs  and  fees  associated  with  this 
proceeding. 

On May 10, 2012, the Company learned that the JPO issued a decision upholding the validity of certain claimed inventions in 
the JP '024 Patent but invalidating the broadest claims in the patent. The Company appealed the JPO’s decision to the Japanese 
IP High Court. On October 31, 2013, the Japanese IP High Court ruled that the prior art references relied on by the JPO did not 
support the JPO’s findings, reversed the JPO’s decision with respect to the previously invalidated broad claims in the JP ‘024 
patent and remanded the matter back to the JPO for further consideration consistent with its decision. 

At this time, based on its current knowledge, the Company believes that the patent being challenged should be declared valid 

and that all or a significant portion of the Company's claims should be upheld. However, the Company cannot make any 
assurances of this result. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1252803* 

On July 12 and 13, 2011, Sumitomo, Merck Patent GmbH and BASF SE, of Ludwigshaven, Germany filed oppositions to the 
Company's European Patent No. 1252803 (the EP '803 patent). The EP '803 patent, which was issued on October 13, 2010, is a 
European  counterpart  patent,  in  part,  to  the  U.S.  '828  Patent  Family.  They  are  exclusively  licensed  to  the  Company  by 
Princeton, and the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

On December 7, 2012 the EPO rendered a decision at an Oral Hearing wherein it upheld the broadest claim of the granted 

patent. All three opponents filed an appeal. 

At  this  time,  based  on  its  current  knowledge,  the  Company  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 further upheld on appeal. However, 
the Company cannot make any assurances of this result. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1390962 

On November 16, 2011, Osram AG and BASF SE each filed a Notice of Opposition to European Patent No. 1390962 (EP 
'962 patent), which relates to the Company's white phosphorescent OLED technology. The EP '962 patent, which was issued on 
February 16, 2011, is a European counterpart patent to U.S. patents 7,009,338 and 7,285,907. They are exclusively licensed to 
the Company by Princeton, and the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

The EPO combined the oppositions into a single opposition proceeding. The Company expects the EPO to schedule a hearing 

on this matter in the first half of 2014. 

F-30 

 
At  this  time,  based  on  its  current  knowledge,  the  Company  believes  there  is  a  substantial  likelihood  that  the  patent  being 
challenged will be declared valid, and that all or a significant portion of the Company's claims will be upheld. However, the 
Company cannot make any assurances of this result. 

Opposition to European Patent No. 1933395* 

On February 24 and 27, 2012, Sumitomo, Merck Patent GmbH and BASF SE filed oppositions to the Company's European 
Patent No. 1933395 (the EP '395 patent). The EP '395 patent is a counterpart patent to the above-noted JP '168 patent, and, in 
part,  to  the  U.S.  '828  Patent  Family.  This  patent  is  exclusively  licensed  to  the  Company  by  Princeton,  and  the  Company  is 
required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. 

At an Oral Hearing on October 14, 2013, the EPO panel issued a decision that affirmed the basic invention and broad patent 

coverage in the EP '395 patent, but narrowed the scope of the original claims. 

The Company intends to appeal the ruling to reinstate a broader set of claims. This patent, as originally granted by the EPO, 

would be deemed valid during the pendency of an appeals process. 

In addition to the above proceedings, from time to time, the Company may have other proceedings that are pending which 
relate  to  patents  the  Company  acquired  as  part  of  the  Fuji  Patent  acquisition  or  which  to  relate  to  technologies  that  are  not 
currently widely utilized in the marketplace.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss and credit carry forwards. The Company’s net operating loss 
carry forwards below differ from the Company's accumulated deficit principally due to the timing of the recognition of certain 
revenues  and  expenses. A  portion  of  the  Company’s  net  operating  loss  carry  forwards  relates  to  tax  deductions  from  stock-
based compensation that will be accounted for as an increase to additional paid-in capital for financial reporting purposes to the 
extent such future deductions are utilized by the Company (see below). Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) sections 382 
and 383, utilization of the Company’s federal and state net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards could be subject to  an 
annual limitation because of certain ownership changes.

During 2013, the Company released valuation allowance of $59.4 million, with $12.6 million remaining that relates to UDC 

Ireland, U.S. foreign tax credits and New Jersey research and development credits. 

Deferred tax assets and the gross valuation allowance, and the resulting reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal tax rate to 
the Company's effective tax rate, previously reported in 2012 and 2011 have been adjusted to exclude the impact of the windfall 
tax benefits that were previously reflected as a deferred tax asset, as well as to adjust the net deferred tax assets for additional 
stock-based compensation related items. The adjustments had no effect on consolidated net income or the consolidated balance 
sheet as previously reported.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company paid foreign taxes on South Korean royalty and 
license  fee  income  of  $6.6  million,  $4.9  million  and  $1.9  million,  respectively,  which  were  recorded  as  current  income  tax 
expense. For periods prior to May 2010, the Company filed for and was granted a five year exemption on withholding tax on 
royalty payments received from SDC under its patent license agreement as part of a tax incentive program in South Korea. The 
exemption was granted in May 2005 and remained in effect until May 2010. Since then, SDC has been required to withhold tax 
at a rate of 16.5% upon payment of royalties and license fees to the Company. 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company sold approximately $45.2 million of its state net operating losses 
and  $232,000  of  its  state  research  and  development  tax  credits  under  the  New  Jersey  Technology  Tax  Certificate  Transfer 
Program, and received net proceeds of $2.7 million. The Company recorded these sales as income tax benefit. 

The Company has elected to recognize as earnings taxable in the United States, and to record related deferred tax liabilities 
with respect to, deferred Subpart F earnings related to foreign subsidiaries in the period the Subpart F earnings are generated, 
even though the income is not currently taxable based upon current tax laws which limit Subpart F income to the amount of 
earnings  and  profits  of  the  subsidiary.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  recorded  U.S.  income  tax 
expense  and  a  corresponding  deferred  tax  liability  of  $6.1 million  for  future  recapture  of  the  earnings  for  activities  of  UDC 
Ireland which currently has a deficit in earning and profits. 

Due  to  the  Company's  net  operating  loss  position,  deferred  tax  assets  relating  to  tax  benefits  of  employee  stock-based 
compensation  have  been  reduced  related  to  stock  options  exercised  and  restricted  stock  vested  for  which  the  tax  deduction 
exceeded the aggregate compensation expense recorded for financial reporting purposes. Although these additional tax benefits 
or  windfalls  are  reflected  in  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  in  the  tax  return,  the  additional  tax  benefit  associated  with  the 
windfalls is not recognized until the deduction reduces taxes payable. The Company follows the “with and without” approach 
(excluding  indirect  tax  effects  to  items  such  as  R&D  credits)  described  in ASC  740  Income  Taxes  which  gives  primacy  to 
continuing  operations  in  determining  realized  tax  benefits.  Under  the  with  and  without  approach,  the  excess  tax  benefit  of 
deductions from stock-based compensation is reflected as an increase in additional paid-in capital only if an incremental benefit 
is  provided  after  considering  all  other  tax  attributes  available  to  the  Company.  Accordingly,  windfall  tax  benefits  are  not 
considered to offset current year taxable income and a benefit is not recorded in paid-in-capital if the amount of available net 
operating  loss  and  tax  credit  carryforwards  generated  from  continuing  operations  is  sufficient  to  offset  current  year  taxable 
income  before  considering  windfall  tax  benefits.  Given  the  Company's  net  operating  loss  carry  forward  position,  no 
incremental benefit has been recognized in paid-in capital for such excess tax benefits. 

When recognizing deferred tax assets for employee stock based awards that may be subject to limitation under IRC Section 
162(m),  and  calculating  the  resulting  windfall  benefit,  the  Company  prioritizes  the  impact  of  future  cash  compensation  over 
stock-based compensation.  Accordingly, if the anticipated cash compensation is equal to or greater than the total tax deductible 
annual compensation amount for a covered employee, the  Company does not record a deferred  tax asset associated with any 
stock-based compensation for that individual. As noted above, in accounting for the indirect effect of stock-based compensation 
on the Company's research tax credits, the Company does not set apart these credits when measuring the windfall tax benefit; 
instead  the  Company  follows  the  practice  of  recognizing  the  full  effect  of  research  tax  credits  in  income  from  continuing 
operations. As  of  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  windfalls  included  in  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  but  not  reflected  in 
deferred tax assets totaled $68.6 million and $63.8 million, respectively.  

In  assessing  the  realizability  of  deferred  tax  assets,  management  considers  whether  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  some 
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the 
Company's ability to generate future taxable income to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences, net operating 
loss  carryforwards  and  tax  credits.  As  part  of  its  assessment  management  considers  the  scheduled  reversal  of  deferred  tax 
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. During the  year ended December 31, 2013, based on 
previous earnings history, a current evaluation of expected future taxable income and other evidence, the Company determined 
it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  its  federal  and  the  majority  of  its  state  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  realized.  Therefore,  the 
Company  released  all  valuation  allowances  except  the  portion  that  relates  to  UDC  Ireland,  New  Jersey  research  and 
development credits and a portion of foreign tax credits. The Company's valuation allowance decreased by $57.1 million, $4.4 
million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

The Company did not record a liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 
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 2010 through 2012 are open tax years and are subject to examination by the Internal 
Revenue Service. State tax years 2009 to 2012 remain open to examination by the jurisdictions (Pennsylvania and New Jersey) 
in which the Company is subject to tax. However, due to the Company's net operating losses, the Company's federal income tax 
returns for 1995 and later will remain subject to examination until the losses are utilized or expire; certain state returns  remain 
subject  to  examination  as  well.  In  addition,  the  Company's  foreign  returns  for  2010  and  thereafter  remain  subject  to 
examination.

16.  DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN: 

The  Company  maintains  the  Universal  Display  Corporation  401(k)  Plan  (the  Plan)  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of 
Section 401(k)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  (the  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,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  the  Company  contributed  $290,000,  $270,000  and 
$251,000, respectively, to the Plan.

to our sHareHolders

2013 was an extraordinary year for universal display corporation. 
operationally, the development and delivery of our industry-leading 
phosphorescent oled technologies and materials enabled us to 
expand market share, validated our years of r&d investment, and 
robustly positioned us for the oled market’s growing opportunities. 
financially, we achieved record revenues and generated our  
strongest year of cash flow from operations. driven by the  
commercial adoption of our green universalpHoled® emitters 
and hosts, the fortification of our r&d strengths and the expansion 
of our intellectual property portfolio, we are confident that we are 
poised to build on our materials expertise and further strengthen 
our market position and financial health.

founded on the r&d mission to develop and commercialize key 
technologies for oleds, we continue to target new opportunities 
for growth as we leverage our intellectual property, materials, and 
growing product portfolio. over the past few years, we have made 
tremendous progress in improving our phosphorescent oled 
(pHoled) technology and materials, as we believe pHoled is the 
key to oled technology’s success. our green universalpHoled 
materials, for example, could reduce an oled display’s power  
consumption by approximately 25%, translating into better battery 
life while maintaining a bright, beautiful and vibrant image. in the 
first quarter of 2013, our proprietary green pHoled materials 
were commercially adopted, with the potential to more than triple 
our revenue opportunity in the oled stack. 

indicative of our success, we achieved record revenues of  
$146.6 million for 2013, a 76% increase from the previous year’s 
$83.2 million. Material sales more than doubled year over year to 
$95.7 million while operating profit rose from $13.7 million in 2012  
to a new high of $38.2 million in 2013. our net income increased  
to $74.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share. net income for the year 
included a total deferred income tax benefit of $41.4 million.  
excluding this amount, our 2013 adjusted net income was  
$32.6 million, or $0.70 per adjusted diluted share*. during the  
year, we generated an impressive $45.0 million of cash flow  
from operations and completed 2013 with $273 million in cash 
and short-term investments. our performance is a testament  
to our continued research and development efforts, strategic  
positioning, strong ip portfolio, high-performance, quality-assured 
oled materials, and the innovation and expertise of our  
employees and partners. 

our strong corporate performance continues to attract industry 
attention. deloitte’s technology fast 500™ ranked universal 
display corporation 170th on a list of the 500 fastest growing 
technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and clean 
technology companies in north america, our ninth time, and sixth 
consecutive year, appearing on the list. We were also named  
Master technology company of the year by the new Jersey  
technology council (nJtc) in recognition of our long-term financial 
performance, innovation, and successful commercialization of 
oled technologies and materials. in June, to further reinforce our 
position as the world’s leading oled technology and materials 
company, we changed our nasdaq ticker symbol to “oled.”

and we’re working to channel this momentum into expanding 
opportunities, as the oled market demonstrated tremendous 
near and long-term growth potential during 2013. the increased 
demand for our oled products spurred ppg industries, our 
exclusive manufacturer of universalpHoled materials, to open  
a second, world-class oled materials production facility at the 
company’s Barberton, ohio plant. the state-of-the-art facility began 
production qualification in early november, and it will allow us to 
deliver greater quantities of our products in order to keep pace 
with the growing oled display and lighting industries. in addition 
to this new important manufacturing capability, we also expanded 
our ewing, new Jersey corporate headquarters by 13,000 square 
feet to support our growth. these new facilities illustrate our  
commitment to remaining an industry leader positioned to  
develop tomorrow’s innovative breakthroughs.

around the world, we are working to advance our phosphorescent  
oled technologies and materials to meet our customers’ roadmaps 
for existing and future products, including flexible displays, tvs, 
and energy efficient lighting. We are also expanding our technology 
portfolio to pursue new avenues of growth in the oled stack and 
through long-term projects, such as single-layer barrier encapsulation 
and organic vapor jet printing (ovJp). these r&d innovations  
allowed us to bolster our global oled intellectual property framework 
and end the year with 3,318 issued and pending u.s. and foreign 
patent applications, up from 3,035 at the end of 2012. 

still in the early chapters of our exciting oled story, we are  
enthusiastic for the promising growth that lies ahead of us.  
We believe that broader opportunities for oled penetration  
avail in applications such as mid-end smartphones, high-end  
tablets, the commercialization of oled tvs, and wearable  
displays, including smart watches. additionally, samsung display 
and lg display’s recent introduction of conformable panels has 
the potential to redefine the types of display substrates (to include 
plastic and metal foil) used and evolve form factors from rigid to 
curved, and eventually to fully flexible, bendable, and roll-able.  
in lighting, we recently signed new customer agreements and 
expect development activity to intensify as oled lighting panel 
production projects ramp up. 

We are proud of what we accomplished in 2013. We thank our 
employees, the core of our success, for their hard work, steadfast 
commitment, and inventiveness. to our global customers and 
partners, we thank you for the collaborations that result in amazing 
new oled applications and products. and to our shareholders, 
we thank you for your continued support. We hope that you are 
pleased with how our company is evolving and performing and 
that you share our excitement for the growing role we expect to 
play in a new era of display and lighting technologies. We look 
forward to working toward an even more successful year in 2014.
