Cambridge Display Technology has produced an innovative OLED lighting product using technology by Carclo’s Conductive Inkjet Technology subsidiary.
CDT has produced an ITO-free P-OLED lighting device using a fine copper mesh.
The work was enabled by its work with Conductive Inkjet Technology and their joint ‘NOMAD’ project funded by the government-backed Technology Strategy Board.
The demonstration has shown the potential for patterned metal tracking using electroless metal deposition as a replacement for both Indium Tin Oxide and traditional sputtered tracking.
ITO is widely used as a transparent conductor in the displays, lighting and photovoltaics industries, but is in short supply and expensive.
