Merck has announced that its New Business R&D and Application Lab is set to begin operations in Taiwan. The first in Asia to employ such wide-ranging and diversified technology, the Lab will provide key materials and first-rate technical services for the development of OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) panels, LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lighting, 3D technology and flexible displays.
The wide range of applications in which these products can be used in the future includes architecture, medicine, transportation, communications, and many more. OLEDs can be used for display panels and for lighting, setting new accents in interior decoration. In the future, smart phones will have flexible displays. In the field of medicine, flexible displays could store and display patients’ medical histories, a more useful and environmentally friendly choice.
Dick Hsieh, Managing Director, said, "The New Business R&D and Application Lab will enable Merck Display Technologies Ltd. to offer timely, more professional and innovative technology services to customers." Dick added, "Our development staff will provide immediate interaction with clients to understand their needs, solve their problems, and directly engage in supplying needs for materials."
Dick, continued, "They will do tests in the shortest time possible, expedite communication and help reduce the time for developing new products. We will address urgent and complex issues even at midnight. Merck’s team of experts in Europe also will spare no effort to promptly solve problems our clients may face. We look forward to supporting our customers by shortening their product development lead time by as much as one to one and a half years."
