Antoniadis Made Technology EVP at Kateeva

OLED production equipment developer Kateeva has appointed Homer Antoniadis as its executive vice president of technology.

With decades of technical and executive leadership in OLED displays and printed electronics, Antoniadis will head technology development programs and help customers optimize Kateeva’s YIELDjet systems for their OLED mass-production lines.

“Homer is among the early pioneers that brought OLED-enabled products into the mainstream,” said Conor Madigan, Kateeva’s president and chief operating officer. “A skilled technologist, he is particularly knowledgeable in OLED and printed electronics, with a talent for developing and productizing breakthrough technologies. His technical expertise will help us continue driving forward our applications programs in thin-film encapsulation and RGB pixel deposition, and his broad technology vision will help ensure that Kateeva’s existing and new applications pipeline remains robust and focused on meeting our customers’ current and future needs. We’re thrilled to welcome Homer on board.”

Antoniadis joins Kateeva from DuPont Silicon Valley Technology Center, where he served as chief technology officer of the DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions Group following the company’s acquisition of Innovalight in 2011. Previously, he was chief technology officer and vice president of engineering at Innovalight, a developer of silicon inks for the photovoltaic industry.

“At Kateeva, I can fulfill my ambition to proliferate OLED technology while working with extraordinarily talented technologists,” Antoniadis said. “I’m excited to take a leadership role at the company.”

Before Innovalight, he held positions with Osram Opto Semiconductors, Hewlett-Packard Labs and Xerox. A native of Greece, Antoniadis received his bachelor’s degree in physics from Ioannina University in Greece, and his master’s degree and Ph.D. in physics from Syracuse University.
