OLED display project

LOMID

Body

The EU-funded LOMID project (Large cost-effective OLED microdisplays and their applications) aims to develop next-generation large-area OLED microdisplays for VR and AR applications. The partners will produce flexible OLED microdisplays sized 13 x 21 mm (about 1-inch diagonal) with a resolution of 1200x1920 (2,300 PPI).

The project is led by the Fraunhofer FEP and other partners include MicroOLED, CEA-Leti and the University of Leipzig and the University of Oxford. The project will run until 31.12.2017.

EnDK

Body

The Korean EnDK project (launched in June 2015) aims to develop a 11K (2250 PPI) mobile display, to enable unique 3D displays for mobile devices (probably based on OLEDs, but that is not certain).

The project partners include 13 companies, led by Samsung Display. The Korean government supports this five-year project via its GiGA Korea initiative with $26.5 million grant. The company aim to show the first prototype by the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Flexibilis

Body

Flexibilis is a European project that aims to develop both an ITO-replacement material and an encapsulation technology for flexible OLED and OPV panels.

Flexibilis is coordinated by the UK's CPI center and other partners include Teer Coating, the University of Bolton, and Austria's NanoTecCenter Weiz Forschungsgesellschaft and High Tech Coatings.

ROBOLED

Body

ROBust OLED (or ROBOLED) is a UK project that aims to investigate and overcome the challenges in driving OLED displays with OTFT backplanes.

The project has two partners: Plastic Logic (the leader) who will supply OTFT backplanes and the CPI that will integrate the OLEDs. As current OTFTs do not have the performance, uniformity or stability required for OLED displays, the project will focus on understanding and overcoming the technical challenges.

FLAME

Body

The FLAME (Flexible Organic Active Matrix OLED displays for Nomadic Applications) was a EU project funded under the 7th FWP. The aim of this project was to research the materials, processing technology (including encapsulation) and substrate handling procedures to make OLEDs on very thin plastic foils and driven by organic thin-film driving transistors.

Partners include Polymer Vision, Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystem, imec and TNO. The project cost 4.11 million Euro (out of which the EU contributed 3 million Euro) and was completed in June 2011.

iStar project

Body

iStar (interactive See-Through Augmented Displays) is a Fraunhofer collaborative project that aims to make displays for interactive Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs). As part of the project, the Fraunhofer IPMS is working on bi-directional OLED microdisplays - that includes a camera integrated into the display (a photodiode between each OLED pixel).

NEMO

Body

NEMO (NEw Materials for OLEDs from solutions) is an EU project that focused on new emitting systems based on soluble small molecules with long lifetime and efficiency. NEMO was led be four companies (coordinated by Merck) and seven research and academic institutions (including the Fraunhofer institute).
