Researchers from the EU-funded Flex-o-Fab project have successfully fabricated working OLED devices on a flexible barrier layer produced in a roll-to-roll process. The Flex-o-Fab project aims to help bring flexible OLEDs to the market by 2018. It brings together companies and institutes with strong background in organic electronics from across Europe and is coordinated by the Dutch research institute Holst Centre.
On 4 December, cynora GmbH, a producer and developer of singlet harvesting technology for use in OLEDs, was awarded the German Raw Material Efficiency Award 2014. The firm, which is based in Bruchsal, Germany, won the competition against seven other finalists in the category “companies” and received the prize that is worth €10 000.
In 2004, Fluxim AG, a Winterthur, Switzerland based provider of R&D tools for the OLED display, lighting and photovoltaic industries, has introduced the commercial software package Setfos, which is a numerical tool for design and analyses of organic LEDs and solar cells. Now, the company celebrates the 10th anniversary of the product. Over the last 10 years, the capabilities of Setfos have grown steadily and now include electrical and optical simulation of OLEDs, absorption and electrical modelling of solar cells as well as efficiency enhancement by light scattering.
