Organic LEDs for ICT and Lighting Applications

Project description

Optical, opto-electronic, photonic functional components
OLED lighting technology offers energy savings

Cold light, i.e. conversion of electrical energy into visible light other than incandescent sources, that allows for high efficiency and fully customized in form, color and appearance has been a dream for long time. The realization is now within reach with Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs have been researched for 15 years with major emphasis on display applications. Now a certain level of maturity has been reached, such that first products are being introduced in the market. However, the potential of OLED technology is much larger than what has been discovered so far, and ranging far beyond the application in matrix displays. OLEDs have the potential for high efficiencies at high brightness, freedom in shape and color combinations, and a variety of appearances from opaque-white over mirror like to even fully transparent and full tunability in brightness and color. With a number of breakthroughs in materials, optics and production technology, OLEDs could become the ultimate light source for many applications, especially Liquid Crystal Display-backlighting, signage, signaling, advertising and emergency lighting. On the long term OLEDs will become the next generation light sources, replacing in about 10 to 15 years time the currently used incandescent and fluorescent lights. OLLA is the first step towards reaching this goal. To reach this challenging target, project partners will develop new high-efficient materials, research in parallel the most suitable architecture and cost effective processing technology and will build demonstrators, to demonstrate the full spectrum of opportunities with OLEDs. Via the OLLA project, the world-class industrial, institutional and academic partners integrate their resources for R&D, in order to make a fast breakthrough in OLED technology possible, and to be able to bring European OLED applications solutions timely on the world market.
