MUNICH and DRESDEN,
Germany, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
- Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam
and Plasma Technologies FEP introduces the world's first color
changing transparent OLED.
From March 4-5, Dresden
researchers and entrepreneurs will be attending LOPEC 2015, the 7th
international exhibition and conference for the printed electronics
industry. The joint booth of the Saxon network Organic Electronics
Saxony (OES) will represent the companies Adenso, CreaPHys, DTF
Technology, Heliatek, Plastic Logic Germany and VON ARDENNE (Hall BO/booth 320). Together with
Fraunhofer Institute Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma
Technologies (FEP) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Materials and
Beam Technology (IWS), the companies will present innovative
technologies and processes in OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes),
3-D printing, PED (Pulsed Electron Deposition) and thin film
technologies. The Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and
Systems (IKTS) will have its own booth in Hall E0/booth 105.)
Close Ties with South Korea
- Dresden Know-how secures Head Start
Dresden is Europe's most
important location for organic electronics, and a successful
international leader. By acquiring the Dresden OLED specialist
Novaled AG in 2013, the electronic giant Samsung Cheil Industries
secured its technological advantage in the OLED market. During the
'LG Open Innovation Fair 2014' in Dresden, the global leader LG
created technology partnerships with Saxon companies for the
development of novel and trend-setting technologies and
products.
"LOPEC is one of the most important exhibitions for organic
electronics," Dominik Gronarz, Managing Director of Organic
Electronics Saxony says. "Printed and flexible organic electronics
have reached a point where first applications are ready to be
mass-produced and used on a large-scale. Due to drastically
decreasing prices of modules, the OLED lighting industry is
booming. For a while now, OLEDs have been used in displays for
smart phones and the newest flatscreen TVs."
Largest Fraunhofer Cluster presents novel
Technologies
The Fraunhofer FEP will introduce the transparent OLED module.
For instance, along with applications in windows and wallpapers,
the transparent color variable OLEDs are suitable for ambience and
accent lighting in cars or trains.
The Fraunhofer IWS and the Fraunhofer IKTS are providing the
technological answer to the global trend toward cost-efficient 3-D
printing technology that enables the application of electronic
components and circuits onto carrier materials and reproduces them.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer IWS are demonstrating a novel
procedure for manufacturing thermoelectric generators produced by
3-D printers. The showcased prototype converts heat into electric
energy. Thermoelectric generators, mounted to industrial production
lines, in the sewage system, in large data centers or exhaust
systems can open up large, previously unused energy resources. The
Fraunhofer IKTS presents a new separation technology in connection
with custom-tailored inks and paste solutions for applications in
electronics and sensor technologies.
"The organic semiconductors are an important economic resource
for Dresden, Europe's largest
microelectronics cluster," Dirk
Hilbert, Mayor of Dresden, the Saxon state capital, says.
"By merging conventional, silicon-based and organic technologies,
portable electronic devices are becoming slimmer, lighter and more
energy-efficient. For instance, X-ray detectors with higher
resolution can be realized in medical technology. I am delighted
that the two largest European industry networks OES and Silicon
Saxony are working together."
Dresden Entrepreneurs Optimize Manufacturing and
Processing
During LOPEC 2015, VON ARDENNE
will present a procedure for manufacturing novel, compact OLED
micro displays for data glasses and micro projectors. In the
organic electronics industry the trend is moving toward thinner and
flexible displays used in applications like smart watches.
Adenso presents an innovative system concept for the processing
of ultra-thin flexible glass from roll-to-roll. The concept allows
cost-efficient processing with a single machine instead of several
possibly of different manufacturers. The thin film expert DTF
Technology has developed an innovative process: a procedure for
depositing electric and conductive layers. At the OES booth the
company Plastic Logic Germany will be showcasing a flexible
electrophoretic display (EPD) in the form of a bracelet that
functions as a smart watch. And the company Heliatek will present
flexible organic solar cells.
