Display R&D

	The Army has given a $730,000 Small Business Innovation Research award to Universal Display Corp., Ewing, N.J., to accelerate development of small, flexible color LED displays. Universal Display develops organic, light-emitting diode, flat-panel computer displays. It is also in the early stages of making flexible, thin-film-transistor backplanes out of metal foil. Such displays could be rolled up into pen size and attached to a soldier's clothing with Velcro, said Janice Mahon, vice president of technology commercialization for the company.
