LOPEC press conference with Kai Hohmann, principal technical expert automotive displays at Continental; Dr Stephan Kirchmeyer, chairman of the board of OE-A; Wolfgang Mildner, general chair LOPEC; and Falk Senger, CEO of Messe München
At the LOPEC trade show, the leading European event for organic and printed electronics, which takes place in Munich, Germany, the Organic Electronics Association (OE-A) has published its latest business climate survey as well as the sixth edition of its Roadmap. The OE-A Roadmap is updated biannually and represents the knowledge and opinions of the world’s leading printed and flexible electronics experts. It addresses technologies as well as applications in the areas of OLED lighting, organic photovoltaics (OPV), OLED and flexible displays, electronics and components, and integrated smart systems.
Diageo plc, a world leader in beverage alcohol based in London, UK, and Thin Film Electronics ASA, which is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, a leading developer of printed electronics and smart systems, will look to completely change the role of a bottle in the consumer experience. The two companies will soon unveil a prototype Johnnie Walker BLUE LABEL ‘smart bottle’.
The Japanese Konica Minolta corporation has recently started mass producing flexible OLED lighting. In the wake of this decision, the company has shipped 15 000 flexible OLEDs to a Japanese Tulips Festival, the “Shining Tulip Festival” at the Huisch Tembosch theme park. This marks by far the largest OLED installation to date and will be on display until 13 April.
