-Booth to spotlight proprietary technologies for the flat panel display market-

Tokyo, Japan－DIC Corporation will participate in the 2015 International Touch Panel and Optical Film Exhibition (Touch Taiwan 2015), which will be held in the Taiwanese capital, Taipei. The only touch panel and optical film exhibition certified by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), Touch Taiwan 2015-which is co-organized by the Taiwan Display Union Association (TDUA), Taiwan Electronic Equipment Industry Association (TEEIA), Taiwan TFT LCD Association (TTLA), Taiwan Flat Panel Display Materials and Devices Association (TDMDA) and Chan Chao International Co., Ltd.-will be held at the Taipei World Trade Center. This event brings together leading manufacturers not only from Taiwan, but also from Japan, the United States, Europe, the People's Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kong and Macau.

DIC's booth at Touch Taiwan will center on a panel display featuring materials used in touch screen components, including liquid crystal (LC) materials, high-performance pigments, fluorochemicals, polyurethane adhesives and hard coat materials. During the exhibition, DIC will also give a presentation titled "High-performance Pigments for Color Filters" at the FPD International Taiwan Conference, an international seminar that will be held during the exhibition. DIC's presentation will trace its efforts to develop high-performance materials for color filters to meet the increasingly diverse and needs of LCD manufacturers and will introduce G59, a newly developed green pigment for wide color gamut color filters.
