VITEX STRENGTHENS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POSITION BY ADDING NEW PATENTS TO ITS
PORTFOLIO
SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 01, 2007 – Vitex Systems, Inc., a leading technology developer, licensor and
engineering service provider for thin-film encapsulation and moisture barrier films used in flexible electronic
products and displays, was granted six new patents recently. These new patent grants bring Vitex’s owned or
controlled patents to a total of 127. This solidifies the company’s IP portfolio following its successful reinvention
as a licensing and technology development company—a move achieved by leveraging its leadership position in
thin-film encapsulation for flexible substrates and organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays.
“As manufacturing continues to shift abroad, specifically to Asia Pacific, global recognition of IP rights becomes
an increasingly important issue, so every patent granted is a noteworthy win for us as it reaffirms the
protection of our IP,” said Vitex’s director of sales and marketing, Chyi-Shan Suen. “To this end, it is important
that we protect our IP rights not only in places where products are sold, but also where they are made.”
The recently granted patents are directed at protecting the unique technology Vitex has developed for edge
sealing on OLED displays and other electronic devices, as well as for unique tool apparatus needed for the
deposition of the proprietary thin-film encapsulation. The six patent wins comprise two each in Europe and
China, and one each in the United States and Taiwan.
While the display market continues to be Vitex’s primary focus, the company is applying parallel applications to
the rapidly emerging thin-film photovoltaic market, which has a strong need for a superior low-cost, thin-film
encapsulation.
Parties interested in learning more about Vitex’s recent technology advancements are invited to attend the
presentation of two papers (details below) by Vitex’s chief technology officer, Robert Jan Visser, at the following
upcoming conferences:
• International Meeting on Information Display (IMID) in Daegu, Korea on Thursday, Aug. 30 beginning at 4:20
p.m. on “Manufacturing of Barix Coated Plastic Barrier Films: Roll to Roll and Batch Coating”
• Organic Electronics Conference (OEC) in Frankfurt, Germany on Wednesday, Sept. 26 beginning at 2:00 p.m.
on “Low Cost Substrates and Encapsulation of Flexible Solar Cells, Batteries and OLED Displays”
About Vitex Systems
Vitex Systems, Inc., headquartered in San Jose, Calif., licenses a proprietary encapsulation solution, Barix™, as
well as deposition systems and next-generation flexible barrier substrates, that enable the cost-effective
production of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays that are lighter and thinner than any other
commercially available displays. Vitex's technology can also be used to address a wide array of photovoltaic and
optoelectronic applications. The company was incubated at Battelle, the world's largest independent private non-
profit research foundation, and was spun off as an independent company.
