The membership of the Japan OLED Forum already exceeds 700 people, and the contributions originating from the active research and development efforts of the Forum's members will only continue to expand. Considering this situation, the Japan OLED Forum has established awards honoring excellence in research as a way to encourage and support young researchers and to recognize distinguished achievements made by members in the field of OLEDs.

The Outstanding Achievement Award is presented to a member who made a significant contribution to the development of OLED science and technology. The Outstanding Presentation Award is presented to the member who gives the best contributed talk at each Meeting in the autumn and spring.

Contributions to the Award Support Fund made through the purchase of advertising space in the book of abstracts are used to help finance the awards.
