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.

Flexolighting is a EU-funded €4.4 million three-year OLED lighting project that focused on developing new materials, processes and methods to overcome current challenges in OLED lifetime, lighting uniformity and more.

The main target of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of cutting OLED lighting production costs from around €15 for 100 lumens (2015) to around €1 (about $1.17 USD).

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.

The LASSIE (Large Area Solid State Intelligent Efficient luminaries) project is a 3-year €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 cyCESH project aims to research new soluble (printable) materials for low-cost high efficiency OLED lighting devices. The project will develop the mass-market materials and methods for OLED production.

The project partners are Cynora, Novaled and the University of Regensburg. cyCESH was launched on July 2013, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with 6.1 million Euro.

The cyFLEX project was launched in September 2013 by Cynora and the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). The project aims to develop flexible and luminescent surfaces for smart packaging and advertising applications based on OLED lighting panels. The project follows-up to Cynora's cyFLEX panel demonstration shown in October 2012.

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.
