Project description DEENESFRITPL Improved fluorescent materials for next-generation OLED technology Fluorescence typically entails the conversion of light at shorter wavelengths to light at longer wavelengths. Certain fluorescent materials exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), a mechanism that enhances the efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and of fluorescence imaging. Despite its benefits, this mechanism is still poorly understood. What is more, fluorescent materials that exhibit TADF are sensitive to structural changes. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MEGA project will screen and synthesise the most promising TADF compounds, prepare very high-purity sample materials and increase the lifetime of TADF emitters so that they can meet industry requirements. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Organic heavy metal free fluorescent materials show exceptional potential for use in new-generation light sources, such as organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) and organic lasers. It is anticipated that these new materials will enable organic electronic devices to be constructed with higher efficiency, simpler device structures, lower fabrication costs, and reduced environmental impact.Amongst the different types of materials currently being investigated, two show particular promise:• Fluorescence materials exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) for use in OLEDs in displays and lighting devices .• Fluorescent materials with low thresholds for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) for use in organic lasers in spectroscopy and telecommunication .However, in order to develop these materials for commercial industrial use, several challenges still remain to be overcome, including:• Theories explaining TADF and ASE are still in their infancy.• Organic material samples need to be extremely pure (>99.5%). Consequently, new synthesis routes need to be developed.• TADF emitters for OLEDs have lifetimes that fall well short of industry requirements.• Fluorescence emitters for lasers need high available optical gain, solution processability and narrow emission spectra with high efficiency.• Properties of TADF and lasing materials are very sensitive to structural changes.Thus, the overall goal of the MEGA project is to help develop organic heavy metal free fluorescent materials for commercial use by tackling these challenges. In order to develop the new materials, the following S&T objectives will be targeted:• Objective 1: Screen compounds with TADF or lasing properties by means of molecular modelling• Objective 2: Synthesise most promising compounds with TADF or lasing properties• Objective 3: Characterise most promising compounds with TADF or lasing properties• Objective 4: Test materials in device structures to meet industry requirement Fields of science natural sciencesphysical sciencesopticslaser physicsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticsspectroscopy Keywords Organic heavy metal free fluorescent materials thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) displays and lighting devices organic lasers Programme(s) H2020-EU.1.3. - EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Main Programme H2020-EU.1.3.3. - Stimulating innovation by means of cross-fertilisation of knowledge Topic(s) MSCA-RISE-2018 - Research and Innovation Staff Exchange Call for proposal H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MSCA-RISE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) Coordinator KAUNO TECHNOLOGIJOS UNIVERSITETAS Net EU contribution € 579 600,00 Address K DONELAICIO 73 LT-44029 Kaunas Lithuania See on map Region Lietuva Vidurio ir vakarų Lietuvos regionas Kauno apskritis Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 579 600,00 Participants (12) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW United Kingdom Net EU contribution € 119 600,00 Address UNIVERSITY AVENUE G12 8QQ Glasgow See on map Region Scotland West Central Scotland Glasgow City Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 119 600,00 TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAET DRESDEN Germany Net EU contribution € 69 000,00 Address HELMHOLTZSTRASSE 10 01069 Dresden See on map Region Sachsen Dresden Dresden, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 87 400,00 CY CERGY PARIS UNIVERSITE France Net EU contribution € 138 000,00 Address 33 BOULEVARD DU PORT 95011 Cergy-Pontoise See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Val-d’Oise Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 138 000,00 LVIV POLYTECHNIC NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Ukraine Net EU contribution € 312 800,00 Address STEPANA BANDERY 12 79013 Lviv See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 312 800,00 CREAPHYS GMBH Germany Net EU contribution € 46 000,00 Address NIEDERSEDLITSERSTR 75 01257 Dresden See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
