FAST and accurate Testing of Organic Materials

Objective

Organic electronic devices are currently ubiquitous. For example, most mobile phones in the market have screens based on organic light-emitting diodes. These devices have many advantages against their inorganic counterparts, as they have for example lower manufacturing costs, they are typically very light and robust and can built into flexible devices, bendable and foldable. Organic chemists are constantly producing new organic materials which could outperform the ones used commercially and hence, provide yet another breakthrough for organic optoelectronics. However, every new organic material has to be preliminary tested using very expensive techniques and in experimental conditions which are quite different from those encountered by the device in real operation. This initial testing is both time and budget consuming, and moreover in many occasions does not provide reliable information that can be used efficiently down the production chain.

The novel device designed and developed in the framework of the ERC-StG SPINTROS is capable of testing organic materials for their electric performance in real operative conditions, saving time and costs in product development and quality control of optoelectronic devices, while guaranteeing the applicability of the information provided. At this stage, we have a prototype working in laboratory conditions, which corresponds to a Technology Readiness Level 4 (TRL4). Thus, the aim of the present PoC project is to develop the final device to perform first tests in real conditions, taking the technology to TRL 6 to 7 and showing its potential to investors and companies. In addition, based on a preliminary market and commercial analysis, it has been envisioned a high commercial potential for this device. In order to validate and accelerate the commercialization process of it, the present PoC project will also focus on conducting an in deep market feasibility study and a detailed commercialisation strategy plan.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
