According to a press release from Novaled AG (Dresden, Germany), the newly formed So-Light (from solid-state lighting) Project group will work on new materials (transport materials, redox dopants, triplet-emitters, matrix materials), lighting-application characterization, new optical technologies for guided light distribution, and further development of process technologies for small-molecule organic light-emitting diodes. Planning to complete the work by June 2012, the group says its goal is to reach a leading position in the fast-growing worldwide OLED market.
Funded in part by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research, the €14.7M ($21.4M) project’s participants include eight companies — Novaled AG, Sensient Imaging Technologies GmbH (Bitterfeld-Wolfen), LEDON OLED Lighting GmbH & Co. KG (Dresden), Aixtron AG (Aachen), Fresnel Optics GmbH (Apolda), Hella KGaA Hueck & Co (Lippstadt), Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH (Traunreut), and AEG-MIS mbH (Ulm) — and three educational/research institutions — Fraunhofer Institut Photonische Mikrosystems (Dresden), Universität Paderborn/L-LAB (Paderborn), and Westfälische Wilhelms Universität Münster (Münster). The project leader is Jan Blochwitz-Nimoth, who is also Novaled’s Chief Technology Officer and a key inventor of its PIN OLED technology.
