LEP Devices and Finished Products in any and all countries of the world; 

  

	 	(b)	have UP Devices (but not LEP material) manufactured for the Licensee in whole or in part by a sub-contractor, subject to (in the case of any manufacture including Glass):


  

	 	(i)	the Licensee notifying CDT in writing of the identity of the sub-contractor concerned; 

  

 6 









	 	(ii)	the prior written consent of CDT (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) except that no consent shall be required if the sub-contractor and the sub-contracting
arrangements concerned are in any of the Secure Countries; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the licensee obtaining from any sub-contractor who is not from, or who is not carrying out the sub-contracting arrangements in, any of the Secure Countries a binding written
undertaking which is assignable to the Licensor not to use the Patents for any other purpose save the sub-contract manufacturing for the Licensee. The Licensee shall promptly assign such undertaking to CDT upon presentation by CDT of evidence of
breach of this undertaking; and 

  

	 	(c)	have research into LEP material and LEP Devices including manufacture of samples carried out solely for it or any other Member of its Group by Siemens Corporate Technology.


  

	2.2	CDT shall also procure that any current Member of its Group grants to the Licensee a licence in respect of any Relevant Technology owned by it from time to time and that any future
Member of its Group shall grant to the Licensee a licence in respect of any Relevant Technology which that company files or otherwise acquires ownership of on or after the date it becomes such a Member. 

  

	2.3	The Licensee shall also be entitled to extend the scope of the Osram Licence by the addition of patent(s) or published patent application(s) which would otherwise fall within the
definition of Relevant Technology but for the fact that the Relevant Member of CDT’s Group would have to make some form of payment or other form of compensation to any relevant non-affiliated third party provided the Licensee makes payment or
compensation to CDT (or otherwise at its direction) on at least a full indemnity, or reimbursement, basis. If so extended, references in this Agreement to the “Patents” shall be construed accordingly. 

  

	2.4	The Licensee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights granted to it under this Agreement through any other Member of its Group, provided that 

  

	 	(a)	any act or omission of any Member of its Group shall, for all the purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the act or omission of the Licensee; and 

  

 7 









	 	(b)	written notification is given to CDT of the fact that any company in the OS Group other than the Licensee and its downstream Subsidiaries (such notification to include the relevant
company’s name) is exercising such rights. 

  

	2.5	If any company to whom a sub-licence has been granted pursuant to clause 2.2 later ceases to be a Member of the Licensee’s Group that company (“the Exiting
Company”) shall automatically cease to be entitled to exercise any of the sub-licensed rights unless prior to the company leaving the Licensee’s Group the Licensee elects by written notice to CDT to: 

  

	 	(a)	split the Osram Licence into two mutually exclusive parts covering, separately, lighting or displays as the fields of use being formerly comprised in the Osram Licence;


  

	 	(b)	nominate which part of the split Osram Licence will be exploited by the Exiting Company and which part will be exploited by the remainder of the Licensee’s Group such that
neither (a) the Exiting Company nor (b) any Member of the Licensee’s Group shall in relation to the relevant lighting or displays fields of use be entitled to exercise any right which the other (i.e. (a) or (b)) is entitled to exercise; and


  

	 	(c)	the Exiting Company shall contemporaneously with leaving the Licensee’s Group 

  

	 	(i)	enter into a binding agreement with CDT the provisions of which shall be in the same or nearest possible form as those contained in this Agreement (mutatis mutandis); and


  

	 	(ii)	pay to CDT the then current licence fee charged by CDT in respect of the relevant Licensed Number for which it wishes to be authorised under its licence ([**]).


  

	2.6	The Licensee shall not, and shall procure that no other member of the Licensee’s Group shall, use the rights licensed under this Agreement for or in connection with the
manufacture or sale of any LEP Devices for use in the defence and aerospace industrial market places (it being acknowledged by CDT that the Licensee is not hereby obliged to actively monitor on an ongoing basis the purposes to which display devices
are put by arm’s length non-affiliated customers. 

  

	2.7	CDT hereby grants the Licensee an option to extend the Osram Licence so as to include certain patented technology (including technology the subject of pending patents) concerning
ink-jet printing as relevant to LEP Devices being jointly 

  

 8 








 developed and owned by CDT and Seiko Epson Corporation (“SEC”) as well as certain
background patented technology (as aforesaid) again concerning ink-jet-printing as relevant to LEP Devices and owned by SEC. This option may be exercised at any time provided 
  

	 	(a)	the Licensee and its Group meet at the relevant time the Qualifying Conditions; 

  

	 	(b)	it simultaneously grants SEC and the Members of SEC’s Group (which expression shall bear the same meaning as “CDT’s Group” mutatis mutandis) a licence in respect
of the relevant Technology the subject of clause 5.1; and 

  

	 	(c)	if exercised additional and increased Relevant Rates shall be payable as shown in Part C of Schedule 1. 

  

	2.8	For the avoidance of doubt the Licensee shall be entitled to have third parties manufacture for it LEP materials: 

  

	 	(a)	in respect of which that third party owns the relevant Intellectual Property Rights; or 

  

	 	(b)	in respect of which CDT owns the relevant Intellectual Property Rights and CDT has granted a right to use the same. 

  

	2.9	CDT shall procure that any CDT Group Member gives full written particulars of any Patent within 30 days of the date of this Agreement or the date of any relevant publication (as
relevant). 

  

	3.	Licence Upgrade 

  
 The Licensee may at any time upgrade its licence under this Agreement by increasing the Licensed Number [**] against payment of a further lump sum fee or
fees calculated in accordance with the following formula: 
  
 An
amount equal in US$ million to: 
  
 [**] 
  
 For illustration only the following worked example of the above formula is
given: 
  
 [**]

	4.	Financial Provisions 

  

	4.1	In consideration of the rights granted under this Agreement the Licensee will, except as provided in this clause, pay to CDT: 

  

	 	(a)	the Initial Lump Sum Fee; and 

  

	 	(b)	royalties in respect of the Net Sales Values (as defined below) of all LEP Devices manufactured by or for the Licensee or any other Member of its Group using the Patents at the
Relevant Rates and sold, rented, leased or otherwise disposed of or transferred to third parties (the terms “sold” and “sale” as used in this clause 4 shall be construed accordingly) in each Quarter. 

  

	4.2	For the purposes of this Agreement and subject to clauses 4.3 and 4.4 the “Net Sales Value” of any LEP Device means: 

  

	 	(a)	where sales are made of LEP Devices the price charged under those sales, calculated as the actual price invoiced to the customer less: 

  

	 	(i)	any turnover tax, value added tax or other sales tax; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any packaging, packing, freight, warehousing, carriage and insurance charges 

  

to the extent that any of the same are included in the invoice price, and after deduction of any allowances for lost or damaged merchandise or returns,
and any discounts or rebates granted to the customer on account of the quantity purchased or promptness of payment; 
  

	 	(b)	where any given LEP Device is incorporated into any Finished Product and that same device has also been sold in quantities sufficient to be termed Qualifying Sales during the same
Quarter, the price charged (on a per unit basis) for the relevant LEP Device (calculated in accordance with paragraph (a) above) 

  

	 	(c)	where any given LEP Device is incorporated into any Finished Product and that same LEP Device in question has not been sold at any time during the same Quarter or has been sold, but
not in quantities sufficient to be termed Qualifying Sales: 

  
 [**] 
  

 10 








 Before (iii) applies the parties shall make their best efforts first to agree on (i) or (failing such
agreement) (ii). 
  
 Where any LEP Device or Finished Product is
sold or otherwise disposed of other than on arm’s length terms, then for the purposes of clause 4.2 the price concerned shall be adjusted to the price that which would have been charged on the first subsequent arm’s length sale calculated
(in either case) in accordance with clause 4.2(a) or (b) above. This shall include where the price of any LEP Device or Finished Product is adjusted for any customer or associate company in exchange for commitments from that customer or associate
company to purchase any other goods or services from the Licensee. 
  

	4.3	A sale will be deemed to have been made, and payments due hereunder for such sale shall accrue, when billed out or shipped to a third party, whichever occurs first.


  

	4.4	Within 30 days of the end of (a) the first three Years and (b) each Year thereafter the Licensee shall, in the manner provided in clause 4.6, pay to CDT the shortfall (if any)
between the royalties paid in accordance with clause 4.6 and the Minimum Royalty payable with respect to the period in question. 

  

	4.5	The royalties payable pursuant to clause 4.1 (b) shall be paid within 30 days after each Quarter during the period of this Agreement. The Licensee shall submit to CDT a written
report in such detail as CDT reasonably requires showing: 

  

	 	(a)	the total aggregate quantity of all LEP Devices (and/or Finished Products) sold by the Licensee and/or any other Member of its Group during that Quarter in respect of which
royalties are payable to CDT; 

  

	 	(b)	the total aggregate Net Sales Value of such LEP Devices (and/or Finished Products); and 

  

	 	(c)	the total aggregate amount of the royalties payable pursuant to clause 4.1 in respect thereof; 

  

 11 









	 	(d)	the Licensee’s separate calculation of the total aggregate Net Sales Value of LEP Devices which have been: 

  

	 	(i)	not sold on arm’s length terms; or 

  

	 	(ii)	sold as Finished Products; or 

  

	 	(iii)	sold in the absence of Qualifying Sales. 

  

	 	(e)	the statement of Qualified Sales. 

  

	4.6	Within 30 days of the initial three Year period and at the end of each successive three Year period thereafter the parties may request an independent third party (who shall act as
an expert and not as an arbiter and whose decision therefore will be binding on the parties) appointed by agreement (or, failing agreement within 1 (one) month, nominated on the application of either party by the President of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants) to determine the relevant proportion as an industry average the value of the Glass component of a Passive Matrix Module using relevant sales data. 

  
 [**]. 
  
 The parties acknowledge that if market values cannot be established for Glass and corresponding Passive Matrix Modules then the expert shall be directed
to consider the Licensee’s Manufacturing Costs for Glass and Passive Matrix Modules as the basis of determination. 
  

	4.7	All royalties or other sums payable under this Agreement shall be paid in US Dollars (US$), and where the underlying price in respect of which any royalty is so payable is stated in
a currency other than US$, it shall be converted into US$ by reference to the average of the relevant daily buying and selling rates of CitiBank, New York for the currency in question over the Quarter in question. 

  

	4.8	All sums payable pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of value added tax or other applicable taxes or duties for which the Licensee shall be additionally liable and shall be
paid in cleared funds to such bank account as CDT may from time to 

  

 12 








 time nominate, without any set off, deduction or withholding except such amount (if any) of tax as the
Licensee is required to deduct or withhold by law. If either party is required by law to make any tax deduction or withholding, the other party shall do all things in its power which may be necessary to enable or assist that party to claim exemption
therefrom under any double taxation or similar agreement from time to time in force and shall from time to time give that party proper evidence as to the deduction or withholding and payment over of the tax deducted or withheld. 
  

	4.9	If the Licensee makes any default in payment of the royalties and other sums due hereunder the amount due shall bear interest, both before and after any judgement, at the rate of 3
per centum above LIBOR from time to time from that date or the last day of that period (as relevant) until payment of that amount is made to CDT. 

  


	4.10	At the commencement of this Agreement the Licensee will give CDT an estimate of the likely royalties payable to CDT with respect to the calendar year in which the commencement takes
place. Thereafter, in the October preceding each complete calendar year the Licensee will furnish same information with respect to the succeeding calendar year. 

  

	4.11	If at any time either party reasonably considers that in the light of technological and/or commercial developments or practice the definition of any of “Glass”,
“Active Matrix Module” or “Passive Matrix Module” should be altered (or even an additional definition be introduced) to reflect such developments or practice the parties shall in good faith renegotiate the same.


  

	4.12	In the event that 3 years or later following the date of first payment of royalties, the Licensee presents evidence that the EBIT for manufacture of LEP Devices for both it and
other manufacturers of comparable size is less than 5% of Net Sales Value and that it has in good faith concluded negotiations with all other suppliers of significant inputs to manufacturing costs, for relief, then CDT will enter into good faith
negotiations to lower the Relevant Rate for as long as the conditions of economic hardship persist. 

  

	4.13	If under otherwise substantially the same terms and conditions as contained in this Agreement, one or more licences under the Patents should hereafter be granted to any Relevant
Third Party at royalty rates in aggregate more favourable than the rates payable by Licensee under this Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt taking into account a more favourable Royalty Threshold), the Licensee shall be entitled to have
the royalty rates applicable to it modified (subject, however, to the Licensee undertaking such additional or different terms and conditions as are undertaken by such third party – including for the avoidance of doubt the payment of any
additional lump sum fee in lieu of royalties – and, in any event, only from the date such royalty and terms apply to such third party) to 

  

 13 








 such extent that the same shall be as favourable as that available to such third party. For the avoidance
of doubt, the application of more favourable royalty rates shall not apply until the third party actually pays such royalties. The foregoing provisions shall not apply: 
  

	 	(a)	where CDT receives a grant of patent rights, a licence or immunity or a superior commitment to purchase of materials, or other than only a monetary consideration for such licence
such that the arrangement is significantly more advantageous to CDT than the arrangement under this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(b)	where the more favourable royalty rates result from settlement of a claim by CDT or CDT’s licensees; or 

  

	 	(c)	where the more favourable royalty rates apply as a consequence of any comparable provision to clause 4.13 above. 

  
 In this clause 4.14 a “Relevant Third Party” is a Licensee
(including where relevant that Licensee’s group of companies) whom it is expected will pay average annual royalties to CDT under the relevant licence equal to or less than [**]. 
  

	4.14	If any question or matter arises under clause 4 as to the calculation or determination of Net Sales Value (insofar as it depends on the price or “arm’s length price”
of any LEP Device or Finished Product), either party may refer the matter to an agreed independent major international firm of chartered accountants for determination and such firm shall act as expert. 

  
 In the absence of agreement, within a reasonable period of time the firm,
shall be nominated by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and the parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to enable the expert to decide the matter as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within
three (3) months of their appointment. 
  
 The costs of such
appointment shall be borne by the parties in equal shares. The parties shall make available to the expert all such information and documents as he reasonably requires for the purpose of making his determination. The determination of the expert shall
be final and binding on both parties. 
  

	4.15	Within 6 months of CDT granting to any Relevant Third Party royalties which are more favourable in aggregate as contemplated by clause 4.14, CDT shall notify the Licensee with
appropriate details of such arrangement. 

  

 14 









	4.16	For the avoidance of doubt, royalties are not payable with respect to samples for which no charge is made. 

  

	5.	Intellectual Property and Proceedings 

  

	5.1	The Licensee shall procure that: 

  

	 	(a)	any OS Group Member taking the benefit of any rights licensed by CDT under this Agreement; and/or 

  

	 	(b)	any company which is (at any time during the duration of this Agreement) a direct or indirect Holding Company of the Licensee or a Subsidiary of any such Holding Company (but not
Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich or Infineon Technologies Aktiengesellschaft, Munich or (except as aforesaid) any Subsidiary of these companies); 

  
 shall grant to CDT a royalty free licence of any Relevant Technology for the full natural life of the technology in
question, such licence being in reciprocal terms as clauses 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.6 (mutatis mutandis) for the use of a) CDT; (b) any company or other legal entity in which at the relevant time CDT owns more than 50% of the equity (“a
controlling equity interest”) or otherwise controls that company and (c) any company or other legal entity in which at the relevant time CDT owns 25% or more, but less than a controlling equity interest provided that the other
shareholder(s) in any such company agree to a grant back of a licence to the Licensee on a reciprocal basis of any relevant LEP related patented technology or for which a patent has been applied for and published that they may own and have licensed
to the relevant joint venture company. The Licensee shall procure that any OS Group Member gives full written particulars of any such patent or patent application within 30 days of the date of this Agreement or the date of any relevant publication
(as relevant). 
  

	5.2	CDT may sub-license the Relevant Technology the subject of the licence of it referred to clause 5.1 with the express prior permission of the Licensee or the relevant OS Group Member
or company of the type referred to in clause 5.1(b) (as the case may be). 

  

	5.3	In the event of either party doing or causing or permitting to be done any opposition or claim of invalidity to patent offices or in court which questions the validity or scope of
any of the Patents or (as the case may be) the Relevant Technology which have been filed on or before the date of this Agreement front pages of which are appended to Schedule 3 of this Agreement, or the ownership of the other party thereof, the
owner shall without prejudice to any other right or remedy, be entitled to terminate the other party’s Relevant Licence forthwith by written notice to the other party. 

  

 15 









	5.4	The Licensee will at its own expense do all things necessary on its part to have itself recorded as a licensee of the Patents in any territory anywhere in the world where LEP
Devices or Finished Products containing them are sold by the Licensee having at some stage used the Patents and where relevant law or practice makes the same necessary or desirable in order to protect either of the parties or the Patents. This
clause shall apply equally to CDT in respect of its exploitation of Relevant Technology. 

  

	5.5	Each party (“the Notifying Party”) shall promptly notify the other in writing: 

  

	 	(a)	if any claim is made or threatened against the Notifying Party by any third party that the exercise by the Notifying Party of any rights granted under this Agreement constitutes an
infringement of any Intellectual Property or other rights of any other person; and 

  

	 	(b)	of any actual, threatened or suspected infringement which comes to its notice of any patent or patent application which has been licensed from time to time under this Agreement.


  

	5.6	Each party expressly acknowledges and agrees that the grant of any licence hereunder shall not be taken to imply any warranty on the part of the other party that any of the Patents
or Relevant Technology can be freely exploited in any jurisdiction throughout the world. 

  

	6.	Commercial Marketing of LEP Devices 

  

	6.1	The Licensee will use all reasonable endeavours to promote and market LEP technology generally for commercial purposes including, where relevant, publishing articles which must in
turn refer to CDT and the technology being licensed hereunder. 

  

	6.2	The Licensee will procure that in the initial 5 years of this Agreement the Members of its Group will pay due acknowledgement of CDT’s technology being licensed hereunder on
all advertising materials, articles, data sheets and technical specifications in order to differentiate this technology from Kodak’s small molecule OLED technology. 

  

	6.3	The Licensee shall in each Year use all reasonable endeavours to supply to CDT with up to 10 (ten) suitable demonstrator LEP Devices or Finished Products as CDT may from time to
time reasonably request, such demonstrators being typical of its standard production. 

  

 16 









	7.	Materials 

  

	7.1	In each Year provided CDT has demonstrated that either it has at least 2 named contract manufacturing sources who will synthesise LEP for CDT or it has an arrangement with a
chemical company who is a recognised supplier of LEP material and whom the Licensee has approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) the Licensee shall, and shall procure that the other Members of OS’s Group shall,
purchase from CDT not less than 20% (twenty per centum) of their combined requirements of LEP materials (calculated by reference to the total value of LEP materials which in that Year are purchased by the Licensee or other Member of OS’s Group
from any person or manufactured by the Licensee or other Member of OS’s Group. 

  

	7.2	The Licensee shall not be obliged to purchase from CDT LEP material under clause 7.1 if and to the extent that CDT cannot supply LEP material according to the specifications and
performance as generally required by the Licensee and at competitive conditions regarding cost, quality and time of delivery compared to its other suppliers. 

  

	8.	Accounts 

  

	8.1	The Licensee shall keep, and procure that each other Member of its Group keeps, true and detailed accounts and records of customer invoices and books of account, in sufficient
detail to enable the amount of all royalties and other sums due and payable under this Agreement to be determined. 

  

	8.2	The Licensee shall at the reasonable request of CDT allow an independent third party royalty auditor to inspect those records and books of account at all reasonable times during
normal business hours and, to the extent that they relate to the calculation of those royalties and other sums due and payable under this Agreement, to take copies thereof for the sole purpose of its audit enquiry. The auditor shall not be allowed
and CDT shall refrain from requesting the auditor to disclose any detailed information. The auditor shall only confirm whether or not the royalty payments were made correctly in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and whether or not
there is any deficiency of royalty payments or a surplus in favour of the Licensee and the amount of such. 

  

	8.3	Inspections under clause 8.2 shall be carried out at CDT’s expense. However, if the audit proves that the Licensee’s accounting of royalties was deficient by more than 5%
of the money actually due, the cost of such audit shall be borne by the Licensee. 

  

	8.4	The Licensee shall obtain and render to CDT yearly a certificate by the Licensee’s external auditors certifying that the statements submitted to CDT pursuant to


  

 17 








 clause 4.6 are a true and accurate account of the Licensee’s sales of all LEP Devices and Finished
Products and of the royalties and other sums (if any) due and payable to CDT. The cost of this shall be borne by the Licensee except that CDT shall contribute a sum equal to the lesser of a) US$25,000 or b) 50% of the relevant auditor’s cost.

  

	8.5	The provisions of this clause shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement until the settlement of all possible claims of CDT hereunder.


  

	9.	Duration and Termination 

  

	9.1	The provisions of this Agreement and the Relevant Licences granted under it, having come into force on the date hereof, shall (subject to the following provisions of this clause 9)
continue in force until the last of the Patents or the Relevant Technology as the case may be has ceased to be in force. 

  

	9.2	CDT may forthwith terminate the Osram Licence by written notice to the Licensee if any royalties or other sums payable hereunder are in arrears for 60 days provided that these have
been settled as due according to clauses 4.15 and/or 8 and that the Licensee does not effect the payment of such amount within 30 days after the relevant auditor’s decision. 

  

	9.3	If the Licensee and the other members of OS’s Group are permanently exiting the LEP display and lighting businesses or if none of the Patents is used (whether because the
Patents concerned have all expired or been cancelled or otherwise), the Licensee may terminate the Osram Licence by giving 12 months’ written notice at any time. The Licensee acknowledges that it will be obliged to pay the greater of the actual
royalty payment due pursuant to clause 4 and the Minimum Royalty due in respect of the period covered by such notice (if notice is given in the first 2 years the greater of the actual royalty payment due and the Minimum Royalty will be payable).


  

	9.4	Either party may forthwith terminate the Relevant Licence of the other by written notice to the other if: 

  

	 	(a)	the other party has committed any breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than clause 11) and (in the case of a breach which is capable of remedy) has failed to
remedy the same within the period of 60 days after receipt of written notice giving full particulars of the breach and requiring it to be remedied; or 

  

	 	(b)	an encumbrancer takes possession, or a receiver is appointed, of any of the property or assets of the other party; 

  

 18 









	 	(c)	the other party becomes subject to an administrative order or makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors (within the meaning of the Insolvency Act 1986) or anything
analogous to the foregoing under the law of any other jurisdiction occurs in relation to that other party; 

  

	 	(d)	the other party goes into liquidation (except for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction and in such manner that the company resulting therefrom effectively agrees to be
bound by or assume the obligations imposed on that other party under this Agreement); 

  
 or any analogous event to the foregoing under the law of any jurisdiction occurs in relation to the other party. 
  

	9.5	For the purposes of clause 9.4(a), a breach shall be considered capable of remedy if the party in breach can comply with the provision in question in all respects other than as to
the time of performance (provided that time of performance is not of the essence). 

  

	9.6	For the avoidance of doubt, the rights to terminate this Agreement given by this clause shall not prejudice any other right or remedy of either party in respect of the breach
concerned (if any) or any other breach. 

  

	10.	Effects of Termination 

  

	10.1	On termination of a party’s Relevant Licence for any reason: 

  

	 	(a)	that party shall cease to use, either directly or indirectly, the Patents or (as the case may be) the Relevant Technology (unless and to the extent expired);


  

	 	(b)	that party shall consent to the cancellation of any formal licence granted to it, or of any recordal of it in any register, in relation to any of the Patents or (as the case may be)
any Relevant Technology; 

  

	 	(c)	subject as provided in this clause, and except in respect of any accrued rights, neither party shall be under any further obligation to the other; 

  

	 	(d)	the provisions of clause 11 shall continue in force in accordance with their terms, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement for any reason; and 

  

	 	(e)	all obligations of either party under this Agreement which are expressed to or by implication are intended to survive such termination shall continue thereafter.


  

 19 









	10.2	If a Relevant Licence is terminated by either party pursuant to clauses 5.3 or 9.4 or by CDT pursuant to clause 9.2 any licence granted to the terminating party and any sub-licence
granted by it, in either case pursuant to this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the end of the natural life of the technology in question subject to the continued obligation to pay any relevant royalties thereon.


  

	11.	Confidentiality 

  

	11.1	Neither party shall, at any time during the Term or within 10 years from the date of any termination of this Agreement, disclose to any other person, or use for any purpose except

information confidential (whether it is marked as such or not), except as provided by clause 11.2. 

  

	11.2	Any information which is disclosed by either party to the other under this Agreement may be:

 to the extent necessary for the purposes of the manufacture and sale of, and
any other dealings in, the LEP Devices or Finished Products, subject in each case to the party in question first obtaining and providing the other party with a copy of a written undertaking from the person in question, as nearly as practicable in
the terms of this clause, to keep the information confidential and to use it only for the purposes for which the disclosure is made; 
  

	 	(c)	used by either party for any purpose, or disclosed by either party to any other person, to the extent only that any part of the information in question 

  

 20 








 is at the date of this Agreement or at any time after that date through no fault of that party becomes
public knowledge; provided that in doing so that party does not disclose any part of the information in question which is not public knowledge. 
  

	12.	Force majeure 

  

	12.1	Neither party shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement, or otherwise be liable to the other, by reason of any delay in performance or non-performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such delay or non-performance is due to any cause beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to any strike, lockout or other form of industrial action (an “Event of Force
Majeure”). 

  

	12.2	The party affected by the Event of Force Majeure shall immediately give the other party written notification of the nature and extent of the Event of Force Majeure and the parties

	13.	Nature of Agreement 

  

	13.1	Either party may transfer both the entire benefit and entire burden of this Agreement (but not part of them only) by way of a novation to any purchaser or other successor in title

	15.2	Except as referred to in sub-clause 15.3, a notice shall be deemed to have been served: 

  

	 	(a)	at the time of delivery if delivered personally; 

  

	 	(b)	96 hours after posting; or 

  

	 	(c)	2 hours after transmission if served by facsimile on a business day prior to 15:00 hours (local time) or in any other case at 10:00 hours (local time) on the business day after the
date of despatch. 

  
 If the deemed time of service
is not during normal business hours in the country of receipt, the notice shall be deemed served at or, in the case of faxes, 2 hours after the opening of business on the next business day of that country. 
  

	15.3	The deemed service provisions set out in sub-clause 15.2 do not apply to: 

  

	 	(a)	a notice served by post, if it is returned to the sender as undelivered or if there is a national or local suspension, curtailment or disruption of postal services which affects the
collection of the notice or is such that the notice cannot reasonably be expected to be delivered within 96 hours after posting; and 

  

 23 









	 	(b)	a notice served by facsimile, if, before the time at which the notice would otherwise be deemed to have been served, the receiving party informs the sending party that the notice
has been received in a form which is unclear in any material respect, and, if it informs the sending party by telephone, it also despatches a confirmatory facsimile as to this fact within 2 hours of receipt (as contemplated by clause 15.2(c)).

	 	(b)	in the case of a letter sent by post, that the letter was properly addressed, stamped and posted; or 

  

	 	(c)	in the case of facsimile, that it was properly addressed and despatched to the number of the party. 

  

	15.5	A party shall not attempt to prevent or delay the service on it of a notice connected with this Agreement.

require to fulfil the provisions of and to give to each party the full benefit of this Agreement. 
  

	17.	Waiver 

  

	17.1	The rights, powers and remedies conferred on any party by this Agreement and remedies available to any party are cumulative and are additional to any right, power or remedy which it
may have under general law, this Agreement or otherwise. 

  

	17.2	Any party may, in whole or in part, release, compound, compromise, waive or postpone, in its absolute discretion, any liability owed to it or right granted to it in this Agreement
by any other party or parties without in any way prejudicing or affecting its rights in respect of that or any other liability or right not so released, compounded, compromised, waived or postponed. 

  

	17.3	No single or partial exercise, or failure or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by any party shall constitute a waiver by that party of, or impair or preclude any
further exercise of, that or any right, power or remedy arising under this Agreement or otherwise. 

  

 24 









	18.	Exclusion of warranties 

  
 Neither party is giving and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as: 
  

	 	(a)	a warranty or representation by it as to the validity or scope of any patents or patent applications licensed hereunder (whether now or in the future); 

  

	 	(b)	a warranty or representation it that any patent applications licensed hereunder will proceed to grant; 

  

	 	(c)	a warranty or representation by it as to the volume or quality of LEP Devices which may be manufactured through the use of any patents or patent applications licensed under this
Agreement (whether now or in the future); 

  

	 	(d)	a warranty or representation that LEP Devices can be freely exploited by the other party or any other Member of its Group and that any manufacture, sale, use, marketing or other
disposition of LEP Devices as contemplated hereunder will be free from infringement of any Intellectual Property of third parties; 

  

	 	(e)	conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise, upon the other party or any other Member of its Group, any licence or other right under any patent rights or other Intellectual
Property except for the licences and rights expressly granted hereunder; or 

  

	 	(f)	a representation or warranty as to the efficacy or usefulness of any of the patents or patent applications licensed under this Agreement (whether now or in the future) or that they
will produce LEP Devices of satisfactory quality or fitness for the purpose for which the other party or any other Member of its Group may intend from time to time. 

  

	19.	Severance 

  
 To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is found by any court or competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement, it shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement nor shall it affect the validity, lawfulness or enforceability of that provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
  

 25 









	20.	Pilot Line Services 

  
 During the period commencing on 1 June 2001 and ending 24 months later the Licensee shall, at the request of CDT, make available to CDT up to 14 man
days’ worth of the on-site services of suitably qualified employees, consultants or other representatives of the Licensee to give technical advice and assistance to CDT concerning the design, construction and commissioning of CDT’s
proposed LEP display pilot line (such assistance being taken in tranches of 3x4 days and 1x2 days), provided nothing in this clause 20 shall require the Licensee to transfer confidential information to CDT. 
  

	21.	Announcements 

  
 The parties shall make a joint announcement within 30 days of the signature of this Agreement. The text of such announcement shall be agreed by the
parties and it shall not be made public until such agreement is reached. In addition, the parties will use their reasonable endeavours to promote LEP technology for the duration of this Agreement. 
  

	22.	Non-Solicitation 

  
 Neither party nor a Member of either party’s Group (and each party shall as relevant procure the same) may at any time during this Agreement or for a
period of 12 months from the expiry or termination of this Agreement engage, employ or utilise in any capacity, the services of or introduce to another employer either temporarily or permanently, directly or indirectly any person who is, or has
been, employed by the other party at any time within the 12 month period prior to the engagement, employment, utilisation or introduction in question. If either party breaches this clause, they shall pay to the other party a sum equivalent to the
new annual starting salary and benefits of the person concerned. 
  

	23.	Entire Agreement 

  

	23.1	This Agreement sets out the entire agreement and understanding between the parties in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement and it may not be modified except by an

	(54)	Optical modulators based on polymers. 

  

	(57)	This invention relates to a device for electrooptic modulation of an optical beam. The device is a laminate comprising a coherent film (2) of a conjugated polymer having
semi-conducting properties as the active component laminated with two or more layers (1, 3) of electrically conducting, insulating or semi-conducting materials. At least the active component (2) in the laminate is capable of interacting with the
optical beam when under the influence of an electric signal and thereby result in a modulated beam. Means are provided for (i) establishing electrical contact with one or more layers (1, 3) of the laminate so as to enable an electrical signal to be
applied across the active component (2) and (ii) detection of the extent of modulation of the modulated beam emerging from the active component layer (2).

 (54) Title: ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICES 
  
 [GRAPHIC] 
  

	(57)	Abstract 

  
 An electroluminescent device comprises a semiconductor layer (4) in the form of a thin dense polymer film comprising at least one conjugated polymer, a
first contact layer (5) in contact with a first surface of the semiconductor layer, and a second contact layer (3) in contact with a second surface of the semiconductor layer. The polymer film (4) of the semiconductor layer has a sufficiently low
concentration of extrinsic charge carriers that on applying an electric field between the first and second contact layers across the semiconductor layer so as to render the second contact layer positive relative to the first contact layer charge
carriers are injected into the semiconductor layer and radiation is emitted from the semiconductor layer. The polymer film can be poly(p-phenyenevinylene) [PPV] of formula (I) wherein the phenylene ring may optionally carry one or more substituents
each independently selected from alkyl (preferably methyl), alkoxy (preferably methoxy or ethoxy), halogen (preferably chlorine or bromine) or nitro.

 (54) Title: SEMICONDUCTIVE COPOLYMERS FOR USE IN LUMINESCENT DEVICES 
  
 (57) Abstract 
  
 A semiconductor conjugated copolymer comprises at least two chemically different monomer units which, when existing in their
individual homopolymer forms, have different semiconductor bandgaps. The proportion of said at least two chemically different monomer units in the copolymer is selected to control the semiconductor bandgap of the copolymer so as to control the
optical properties of the copolymer. The copolymer is formed in a manner enabling it to be laid down as a film without substantially affecting the luminescent characteristics of the copolymer and is stable at operational temperature. The
semiconductor bandgap may be spatially modulated so as to increase the quantum efficiency of the copolymer when excited to luminescence, to select the wavelength of radiation emitted during luminescence or to select the refractive index of the
copolymer.

 (54) Title: PATTERNING OF SEMICONDUCTIVE POLYMERS 
  
 [GRAPHIC] 
  
 (57) Abstract 
  
 A method is provided for forming in a semiconductive conjugated polymer at least first and second regions having different optical properties. The method
comprises: forming a layer of a precursor polymer and permitting the first region to come into contact with a reactant, such as an acid, and heat while permitting the second region to come into contact with a lower concentration of the reactant. The
reactant affects the conversion conditions of the precursor polymer in such a way as to control the optical properties of at least the first region so that the optical properties of the first region are different from those of the second region. The
precursor polymer may comprise a poly(arleyen-1, 2-ethanediyl) polymer, at least some of the ethane groups of which include a modifier group whose susceptibility to elimination is increased in the presence of the reactant.

 (54) Title: MANUFACTURE OF ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICES 
  
 (57) Abstract 
  
 In an electroluminescent device which comprises a layer of a semiconductive conjugated polymer between positive and negative charge carrier injecting
electrodes, a barrier layer is arranged between the layer of semiconductive conjugated polymer and the charge carrier injecting layer for negative charge carriers. The barrier layer protects the layer of semiconductive conjugated polymer from for
example mobile ions released by the reactive charge carrier injecting layer. The barrier layer can in some circumstances also itself be light-emissive.

 [GRAPHIC] 
  
 (57) Abstract 
  
 An electroluminescent device comprises first and second layers (6, 12) of light emitting semiconductive conjugated polymers
with an electrode arrangement (4, 8, 10, 14) for injecting charge carriers into both light emissive layers to cause light to be emitted therefrom. The first and second light emitting layers are in viewing overlap and the electrode arrangement
comprises two sets of electrodes (4, 8; 10, 12) which can be operated independently. The first light emissive layer is arranged to emit radiation of a first wavelength when excited and the second light emissive layer is arranged to emit radiation of
a second wavelength when excited. The electroluminescent device can thus be operated to cause either radiation of the first wavelength or radiation of the second wavelength or both to be emitted and viewed.

                    ABSTRACT
  
 A photodetector device includes a semiconductive conjugated polymer, such as PPV, arranged between first and second electrode layers having different work functions, a
bias circuitry connected to apply a bias voltage between the first and second electrode layers, and a sensing circuitry connected to detect a photocurrent flowing between the first and second electrode layers across the polymer layer as a result of
radiation incident on the polymer layer while the bias voltage is applied. The bias voltage is selected in relation to the thickness of the polymer layer.

	  	 [57]             ABSTRACT
  
 A photoresponsive material comprises molecular or polymeric semiconductors in which
photogeneration of separated charge carriers proceeds substantially via an intermediate stage of a triplet exciton, where the generation of the triplet exciton may be facilitated by the presence of elements of high atomic number, and in which the
generation of separated charges from the intermediate triplet excited states is facilitated by the presence of at least two semiconductive components, one of which is of high electron affinity and able to accept electrons, and the other of which is
of low ionisation potential and therefore able to accept positive charge carriers, the difference between the electron affinity of the former and the ionisation potential of the latter being sufficiently low so as to allow the ionisation of a
triplet exciton which is present on either of the two aforementioned semiconductive components or on a third component. The provision of contact electrodes allows charge to be collected by an external electrical circuit and allows light to be
incident on the active photoresponsive material.

 (54) Title: ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE 
  
 (57) Abstract 
  
 An electroluminescent device is described which utilises a “memory effect” which allows a device to be turned on by a turn on voltage and then
for the voltage to be reduced without a reduction in the light output. The present electroluminescent device incorporates a semiconductive conjugated polymer layer together with a light dependent voltage regulating layer the conductivity of which
varies with light incident thereon from the semiconductive conjugated polymer layer. An electroluminescent device using a semiconductive conjugated polymer layer is relatively simple to manufacture as compared with earlier devices.

 (54)    Title:
A DISPLAY 
  
 [GRAPHIC] 
  
 (57)    Abstract 
  
 A display comprises a light modulator defining an array of pixels arranged in
rows (2) and columns (3) and addressable to select between at least an opaque state for each pixel and a transparent state for each pixel. The display includes a light emitting device arranged adjacent the light modulator to act as a light source
for the display. The light modulator is a passive matrix liquid crystal display device and the light source is an electroluminescent LED. The light source is addressable to emit light from selected regions LER, each region overlapping at least a
plurality of rows (2) of the light modulator. In this way, the problem of electrical cross-talk in the display is reduced.

 (54) Title: POLYMERS FOR USE IN OPTICAL DEVICES 
  

	(57)	Abstract 

  
 Optical devices fabricated from solvent processible polymers suffer from susceptibility to solvents and morphological changes. A semiconductive polymer
capable of luminescence in an optical device is provided. The polymer comprises a luminescent film-forming solvent processible polymer which contains cross-linking so as to increase its molar mass and to resist solvent dissolution, the cross-linking
being such that the polymer retains semiconductive and luminescent properties.

	(54)	Title: HIGH CONTRAST ELECTROLUMINESCENT DISPLAYS 

  
 [GRAPHIC] 
  

	(57)	Abstract 

  
 The contrast of an electroluminescent display using an organic EL layer (6) is improved by using a circular polariser (14) in front of the surface. The
polariser causes ambient light to be absorbed (LT, LR) while allowing transmission of emitted light (LE) and therefore improves the contrast of the display.

	(57)	  	Abstract	  	 

  
 A multi-colour
electroluminescent display has a plurality of discrete, laterally spaced areas of light emitting material formed over respective groups of first and second electrode regions. The light emissive material over each group is capable of emitting
radiation of a different colour The multi-coloured device is formed by a sequence of steps where each emitting layer is deposited as precursor which is susceptible to patterning and which is then converted into its polymer which is not susceptible
to subsequent patterning steps. This allows a second colour to be deposited on top of a first colour, the second colour being patterned while avoiding damage to the first colour below it.

 [57] ABSTRACT
	  	 
	  
 An organic electroluminescent device, particularly for use as a
display, is disclosed which is driven according to a pulsed mode of operation which allows much higher current densities to be injected into the device. This is achieved by selection of particular pulse durations and duty cycles, and by an improved
geometry for the electroluminescent device in which the resistance of anode lines is reduced.

 [GRAPHIC]
  
 (57) Abstract
  
 A display device comprising: a light-emissive structure including two regions of light-emissive material for emitting light in a viewing direction, the regions being spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the
viewing direction and the light-emissive structure being capable of guiding light emitted from one of the light-emissive regions towards the other emissive region; and a barrier structure located between the light-emissive regions for inhibiting the
propagation of light guided from the said one of the light-emissive regions of the other light-emissive region.

 A light-emissive polymer device comprising: an anode; a cathode; a conjugated light-emissive polymer layer located between the anode and the
cathode; and a driver for applying a voltage drive scheme between the anode and the cathode of a pattern having a relatively high voltage portion which causes the polymer layer to emit light and a relatively low voltage portion during which
substantially no light is emitted by the polymer layer.

        Selective deposition of organic films  
  
 (57) Abstract 
  
 To provide a patterned film particularly in the field of integrated electronic and optoelectronic devices, a solution-processible organic material is
selectively deposited by supplying said material through an elongate hollow bore 10 from a remote and in communication with a reservoir 14 of said material to a distal end adjacent a substrate 2 for receiving said material, wherein the supply of
said material is controlled such that by virtue of contact between said material and the substrate it leaves the distal end under one or a combination of gravitational force and wetting tension. The material may be deposited on to electrode material
4 which has been predeposited in regions defined by separating material 6.

 (54)    Title: MULTIPLE WAVELENGTH LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE,
ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND INTERFERENCE MIRROR 
  
 [GRAPHIC]

  

	(57)    Abstract:	

  
 A multiple wavelength light emitting device is provided wherewith the resonance strength and directivity between colors can be easily adjusted for balance. This light emitting device comprises a light emission means 4
for emitting light containing wavelength components to be output, and a semi-reflecting layer group 2 wherein semi-reflecting layers 2R, 2G, and 2B that transmit some light having specific wavelengths emitted from the light emission means and
reflect the remainder are stacked up in order in the direction of light advance in association with wavelengths of light to be output. Light emission regions AR, AG, and AB are determined in association with the wavelengths of light to be output. The configuration is such that, in the light emission regions, the distances
LR, LG and LB between a reflecting surface for light from the light emission means side of the
semi-reflecting layers 2R, 2G, and 2B that reflect light output from those light emission regions and a point existing in an interval from the end of the light emitting layer on the semi-reflecting layer group side to the reflecting layer are
adjusted so as to have an optical path length at which that light resonates.

 [GRAPHIC] 
  

	(57)	Abstract 

  
 The heat tolerance of an LED alphanumeric display device (10) having a clear poxy encapsulation (70) can be improved by matching the coefficient of
thermal expansion (CTE) of the inner circuit board (120) to the high CTE of the poxy. When heat is applied to 2x the device to a circuit board, the componenets will expand at a nearly equal rate, avoiding cracking and failure.

	 	 Title: PRODUCTION OF STRUCTURED ELECTRODES
  
	  
	 [GRAPHIC]
  

	(57)	 	Abstract	  	 

  
 The invention relates
to a new method for producing structured electrodes, especially organic electroluminescent components with a structured electrode such as displays having a structured metal electrode, comprising the following steps: at least two layers (3, 4) are
applied on a substrate(1), whereby the first layer (3) is electrically insulated and it is not damaged when the second layer (4) is applied and a defined limit between both layers is preserved, whereby the first layer has a higher solubility rate in
a liquid developer than the first layer and the second layer can be structured and cross-linked; the second layer (4) is structured and the structure is transferred to the first layer (3) whereupon the second layer (4) is then cross-linked or the
second layer (4) is first structured and cross-linked and then the structure is transferred to the first layer (3); whereby the second layer has a larger structural width than the first layer and the difference in the structural width of both layers
remains after cross-linking; the electrode (6) is deposited on the second layer (4).

	(54)	Title: ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICE AND PRODUCTION METHOD 

  
 [GRAPHIC] 
  

	(57)	Abstract 

  
 A novel electroluminescent device is produced by printing an electroluminescent organic layer with a planographic printing process. Organic LEDs are
formed in that the organic material is printed onto patterned electrodes on a substrate and the organic material is contacted by metallic electrodes formed following the printing process. Any of the accurate planographic printing processes is
suitable, such as pad printing, offset printing, dry offset printing, letterpress printing, and intaglio printing. The resulting device may be a flat panel display with only a few discrete display fields or an intricate, pixeled multi-color or
full-color electroluminescent display device or a light source.

	(54)	Title: METHOD FOR ENCAPSULATING COMPONENTS 

  
 [GRAPHIC] 
  

	(57)	Abstract 

  
 The invention relates to a method for encapsulating components which are based on organic semiconductors, whereby a housing is glued to a substrate. A
UV-curable reaction adhesive is used in the gluing process which contains an epoxy resin, a hydroxy functional reaction product formed from an epoxy compound and a phenolic compound, a silane-type adhesive and a photoinitiator, in addition to an
optional filler. The method is particularly suitable for encapsulating organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
