According to Mr. Reed Killion, President and CEO of UniPixel, “Samsung is one of the premier technology development and manufacturing companies in the world. The Agreement with Samsung will help establish a development platform for TMOS™ that leverages Samsung’s technology development expertise, process development expertise, manufacturing and assembly expertise as well as providing access to resources and infrastructure unparalleled in the display industry. Samsung’s history of fostering innovative ideas that advance technology and create new products and markets make Samsung the ideal partner to engage in our first TMOS™ joint development effort. We appreciate and are excited by the interest Samsung has taken in our development work on TMOS™ and Opcuity™ Films.
