Dow Electronic Materials has officially opened its new OLED Electronic Materials facility in Cheonan, Korea. The facility will supply leading-edge emissive materials to serve the rapidly growing active matrix OLED market. The opening ceremony was held at the Cheonan, Korea manufacturing facility and was attended by Jerome A. Peribere, president and CEO of Dow Advanced Materials, and regional government officials from South Chungchong Province and Cheonan City.

The new manufacturing facility, which began operation in December 2009, produces leading-edge emissive materials for OLED displays. The facility is located in the Cheonan Industrial Cluster for Foreign Investors.

Dominic Yang, Group Vice President, Dow Electronic Materials, said, "Dow`s new OLED manufacturing facility provides a strong foundation for Dow to meet the demands of this emerging market, particularly in Korea and East Asia." Dominic added, "The new OLED facility reinforces Dow`s business leadership in the display technology market and complements well our recently announced plans to build a new R&D center, and trimethyl gallium plant in Korea."

The Cheonan facility also includes manufacturing operations for Dow`s semiconductor technologies business.
