Information to be included in the report

 
Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On July 4, 2006, Cambridge Display Technology Limited ("CDT"), a subsidiary of Cambridge Display Technology, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into an amendment agreement (the "Amendment") to vary the terms of the licence entered into with Merck OLED Materials GmbH (formerly known as Covion Organic Semiconductors GmbH) ("Merck") on December 14, 2001 (the "Licence").

Under the terms of the Amendment, Merck was granted non exclusive rights to certain inventions made by CDT between June 2005 and December 2006, to which Merck would otherwise not have been entitled as a consequence of the termination of the contract research agreement referred to at item 1.02 below. In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, CDT granted an option to Merck to negotiate the terms of a low resolution display licence.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

 
 
Item 1.02.    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Under the terms of the Amendment, the contract research agreement between Merck and CDT (filed as Exhibit 10.20 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2005), which was entered into contemporaneously with the Licence, was terminated, effective from June 1, 2005.
