The Flexolighting programme targets future full scale up of novel systems for OLED (organic light emitting diodes) manufacture, specifically bridging the gap between new research prototypes and low cost mass production technologies.
This three-year programme will develop a set of new materials, methods and processes to address the key issues of lifetime, light uniformity over large areas and manufacturing on flexible or conformable surfaces that currently limit OLED technology being widely adopted as a new lighting system of choice for an entire range of potential applications. The project will not only ensure the successful production of OLED lighting panels at a competitive cost but will also create unique know-how for European manufacturers to create sustainable technology and jobs in both materials and equipment manufacture.
