Sumitomo invests in JOLED

Sumitomo has acquired a $45 million stake in JOLED, a Japanese firm that is about to build the world’s first plant to produce electronic displays via printing. Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays are currently produced using a vacuum deposition method that results in significant waste of expensive materials.
