Frankfurt am Main - Nanostart AG has acquired an equity stake in Integral Vision, Inc., one of the world’s leading suppliers of systems for measuring and testing OLED displays. OLED stands for "Organic Light Emitting Diodes", a new display technology based on nanometer-thick layers. Leading international OLED manufacturers such as Eastman Kodak and Unaxis rank among Integral Vision's customers.

"As systems supplier, Integral Vision will be one of the first companies to profit from the spawning OLED market", says Marco Beckmann, CEO of Nanostart AG. He adds: "An entirely new perspective is opening up for the company with the commercialization of OLED."

Integral Vision's product line "SharpEye" is an inspection system able to recognize functional and cosmetic errors in, among other things, OLED, poly-OLED and other display technologies. Experts attach immense significance to the entire OLED market; the first OLED products are penetrating the market and volume is predicted to reach more than USD 3 billion within the next three years.
