New circular polarized light-emitting electrochemical cells.

Objective

Light emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are key devices in the future development of lighting technologies as they are much more competitive than OLEDs from an economic/manufacturing point of view. In addition, the compatibility of LECs with metal free electrodes allow the design of flexible/printable/customizable devices. Despite their potential to overcome the OLEDs, this technology has been limited by the sparse number of emissive complexes that have produced good performing LECs and the prize of them. Besides, these good performing LECs are limited to the yellow/green spectral region.
The use of Cu-iTMC in LECs technology is a promising approach to access to cheap and easy to manufacture LECs that cover the whole Visible-NearIR region. However, Cu-iTMC show an inherent lack of stability that inhibits their implementation. We propose the synthesis of mesogenic Cu-iTMC to enhance their stability. Besides, this will be the first incursion of Cu-iTMC in the design of flexible/printable LECs. From the other side, while circular polarized (CP) devices are crucial in display technology and there are a good number of CP-OLEDs, there are no precedents of CP-LECs. In this proposal, we also establish a simple and approachable strategy to design the very first family of intrinsically polarized LECs. In summary, we present synthetic routes and chemical tools to prepare functionalized Cu-iTMC that will be used in the manufacture of a whole new generation of LECs with a) High stabilities b) Polarized emission b) Flexible mechanical properties.

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.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

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.
