KONFECT (thin glass for glass-polymer laminates) is a German collaborative development project that aims to develop ultra-thin glass on a roll for organic electronics application - with an initial focus on OLEDs. The goal of the consortium is to refine windable glass through lamination with functional adhesive tapes and by applying special functional layers.
The LEO project (Low-cost / energy Efficient OLEDs) was launched in June 2015 with an aim to develop efficient and cost-effective OLED applications for the lighting industry. The three-year project was launched as part of the EU's Horizon 2020 framework with a grant of 4 million Euro.
Graphted is a UK project that aims to evaluate the potential of graphene as a transparent electrode when dispersed in a polymeric matrix. The one-year long project (which began at April 1st 2015) will start by looking at graphene's use in phototherapy medical devices.
The project is led by PolyPhotonix, who's partnering with Applied Graphene Materials and the CPI.
The SOLEDLIGHT (Solution Processed OLEDs for Lighting) project was launched in 2015 by the EU with an aim to develop cost efficient, roll-to roll (R2R) solution processed OLEDs, including their integration in prototype multiple-panel OLED lighting systems and luminaires.
SOLEDLIGHT specific target is to develop hybrid and fully R2R solution processed multilayer OLEDs with a power efficiency of over 100 lm/W and a lifetime of over 15,000 hours (at 3,000 cd/m2).
The LASSIE (Large Area Solid State Intelligent Efficient luminaries) project is a 3-year â¬3.15 million project funded by the EU that aims to develop hybrid inorganic and organic lighting technologies. The aim is to develop a device with the efficacy and long life of high-power LEDs and the color-tunable diffuse lighting of OLED panels.
The EU's Smartonics project aims to develop smart machines, tools and processes for the precision synthesis of materials for organic electronics. Smartonics consortium includes 17 partners (including Coatema, Aixtron, Oxford lasers and Plastic Logic) and is being coordinated by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh).
This four years project has a total budget of 11.5 million Euro. The EU will contribute 7.9 million Euro.
The European ENAB-SPOLED project aims to use solution-based OLED materials to enable high performing cost competitive OLEDs for the lighting market and to develop a functional luminaire demonstrator. More specifically, the project partners will develop new materials (transport materials, emitters), new optical technologies for light guiding, and also process technologies for solution processing of small molecule and PLEDs.
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.
OLYMP ("Organic Light-emitting sYstems based on energy and cost-efficient Materials and Processes") is a German project that aims to improve OLED lighting efficiency and lifetime.
The project partners are Osram (the project coordinator), Merck, BJB, LEDON, KG and Trilux. It follows a complete approach that covers all value-creation levels.
The two-year R2D2 project, launched in October 2013, aims to investigate flexible OLED lighting panels production technologies, including roll-to-roll techniques. One of the main subjects of investigation will be the system integration of flexible OLEDs in automobiles, aircraft and household applications.
