Low-cost, large-area production of a cheap flexible Oled lighting module comes a step closer!
Agfa Materials, part of the Belgian Agfa-Gevaert Group, Philips Research, and Holst Centre, an open-innovation initiative by IMEC (Belgium) and TNO (The Netherlands) demonstrate the world’s first large-area flexible OLED tile that does not require ITO as transparent electrode and has printed shunting lines. The result, partly funded by the EU FP7 Fast2Light project, eliminates costly material and lithography process steps. It is therefore a significant improvement towards low-cost, high volume and large-area manufacturing of flexible OLED lighting.
This is the latest Oled lighting demonstrator of Holst Centre’s shared programs: a homogeneous white OLED tile of 12x12cm2 without the use of ITO.
The demonstrator is displayed at the Printed Electronics Conference in Dresden (April 7-8) and the technical details will be presented during the SPIE Optics and Photonics Conference in San Diego (August 2009).
