Up close and personal: Ron Mertens

Today we're launching a new post series: personal OLED interviews. Each one will feature an industry professional - we hope this is going to be a fun opportunity to get to know the people behind OLEDs a bit better. If you wish to be featured, contact us here. This first post will be about our very own Ron Mertens, just to get the ball rolling.
