Regarding its blue PHOLED material, UDC updates that while it is making excellent progress, it now believes they need more time to fully commercialize it - saying though the extra time needed is "measured in months and not years", probably hoping to have a commercial blue PHOLED material ready in 2025.

Disappointing about blue but they still sound confident:

"The bottom-line is phosphorescent blue is coming. We just need some more time before commercial introduction. When it is adopted in an OLED device, we believe that the benefits will be significant for the industry, for consumers and for us."
