DuPont signs a technology licensing agreement with an unnamed "leading Asian manufacturer" enabling the use of AMOLED technology in large TV display production.

The agreement will allow for the production of large display at lower costs than any alternative, according to DuPont. The company has been wanting to bring AMOLED HDTVs to the market since 2006, when it announced it has a cheaper OLED panel production process.

AMOLED technology is already in use in mobile device displays and (technically at least) beats LCD technology in every way-- colour, contrast, response speed, viewing angle and power efficiency-- except production costs.

DuPont claims it "will significantly cut production costs for television-sized displays when compared to the current methods of producing AMOLED or LCD displays."

No details on the technology licensee are available as yet, but more details will hopefully be available by CES 2012.
