At a gala event in Washington, DC to celebrate US innovation, Kateeva’s CTO emeritus Steven Van Slyke was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) for 2018. Van Slyke was recognized for his co-invention of the OLED device. He shared the accolade with his co-inventor, Ching Tang. Kateeva’s CEO Alain Harrus and president Conor Madigan joined the celebration to honor the two for their ground-breaking invention.
 
The NIHF was founded in 1973 in partnership with the US Patent and Trademark Office. In addition to Van Slyke and Tang, 13 innovators were inducted into the class of 2018.
 
Van Slyke joined Kateeva in 2010 as CTO when OLED technology was in its infancy. He played a pivotal role in Kateeva’s YIELDjet FLEX tool, the company’s inkjet deposition platform for OLED display applications. Van Slyke continues his association with Kateeva as CTO emeritus.
 
The NIHF accolade is the latest honor for Van Slyke and Tang. In 2013 they were inducted into the Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame for their OLED device co-invention.
