Hong Kong, China ˇV Oct 27, 2003 ˇV It is officially announced at a
ceremony today that Solomon Systech wins the 2003
Hong Kong Award for Industry: Technological
Achievement Grand Award. The award is officiated by
the honourable Tung Chee Hwa, Chief Executive of the
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. |
The
Hong Kong Awards for Industry (HKAI) is an annual Awards
Scheme established in 1989 to recognise and encourage
excellence as well as to promote successful practices and
strategies in different aspects of industrial performance.
Awards are made annually in seven categories. To
reflect the prestige of the Awards Scheme, only one Hong
Kong Award for Industry is presented in each category
every year to
the most outstanding entry.
Following
its success in winning one Grand Award and three Organizer
Awards in the 2001 Hong Kong Awards for Industry, Solomon
Systech is participating in the Technological Achievement
Award this year again and this is the only category the
company has entered.
ˇ§We won four awards in 2001 including the Grand
Award in Export Marketing, and Organizer Awards in
Quality, Technological Achievement and Productivity.
We have set ourselves up as an all round world
class IC company,ˇ¨ said Mr. Humphrey Leung, President
and Managing Director of Solomon Systech. ˇ§With
two years of effort and focus in developing proprietary
and innovative IC technology for the latest display
technology ˇV the OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode)
display, we have made the new display technology come true
and become commercialized.ˇ¨
ˇ§OLED
is a new display technology that will grow significantly
in the future market.
It has the potential to create a lot of new
applications and replace some of the existing display
technologies,ˇ¨ said Mr. Leung.
ˇ§However, any new technology always has its
strengths and weaknesses and it is the same with OLED.
The innovative circuitry designs of our
ICs accentuate the advantages of OLED while getting around
its weaknesses,ˇ¨ Mr. Leung continued.
ˇ§Our OLED ICs are playing an important role in
the commercialization of OLED.
All of us will be amazed by the transformation of
the world mobile phone industry with this high resolution,
self-emissive OLED display.ˇ¨
ˇ§I
am so glad Solomon Systech has won the Hong Kong Award for
Industry which recognizes our technological contribution
and the positive impact we have made to the global
technology,ˇ¨
said Mr. Leung.
