Researchers working in the European ROLLED project have developed a flexible OLED element that can be mass produced using roll-to-roll printing technology. The OLED elements can be used to add value to product packages. The new method is considerably cheaper than the traditional manufacturing method. The project was coordinated by VTT, and project participants included INM, CSEM, Ciba, Hansaprint, UPM and PolylC.

In order to illustrate the potential and the integration possibilities of organic electronics, flexible multi-functional demonstrators and give-aways have been built at the initiative of the OE-A, the

What are the future applications for organic electronics, which processes and materials are needed, what are the major hurdles?
