OLED microdisplays researched and developed at the Dresden Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP have already been offered for several years as evaluation kits for potential exploitation partners. In addition to the design of application- and customer-specific microdisplay chips made possible by means of integrated circuit design, the industry-compatible, standardised manufacturing process technology development up to testing and characterisation methods plays an important role. For the latter, a 64-device microdisplay test unit for characterisation upon delivery or/and receipt of goods by customers will now be presented for the first time at embedded world 2023 (14-15 March in Nuremberg, Germany), at the Fraunhofer joint booth (Hall 4, No. 422).
Cleaning glass facades and solar installations is expensive and time-consuming. Dirt reduces the yield of solar modules. Reasons enough to research surfaces that minimise this effort. The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP has now succeeded within the European Union-funded NewSkin project (GA: 862100) in applying crystalline titanium oxide to ultra-thin glass using a roll-to-roll process, thus achieving hydrophobic surfaces that become superhydrophilic under UV light. Initial results of this showcase of some of the NewSkin open access upscaling facilities will be presented at the Fraunhofer joint booth, No. C2-528, during BAU 2023, 17-22 April, in Munich, Germany.
Miniaturised optoelectronic systems with emitter and/or sensor functions on a single chip can be realised with OLED-on-silicon technology. Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP (Dresden, Germany) have now used this technology, which has reached industrial maturity in OLED microdisplays so far, to develop an advanced organic-on-silicon photonics platform that can enable new generations of microdisplays and image sensors. The latest research results will be presented and actual demonstrators will be showcased at Photonics West 2023, 31 January – 2 February 2023, in San Francisco, USA.
