New Development in PLED Materials, Device Structure and Patterning

I was educated in France, completed an Engineering degree follow by PhD in material science from Montpellier University focus on polymer physico-chemistry.

 

I joined CDT in 1996 straight after my PhD when it was only a very small company shortly after Cambridge University spun it off. Over the years I have had a number of roles at CDT. For many years I have been closely involved with material development first from a material science perspective then from a device physics perspective. Last year I became responsible for the development of device structures and ink jet printing technologies for displays and lighting applications.

Cambridge Display Technology, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical, leads the development of display technology based on solution processable organic light emitting diodes (P-OLEDs). P-OLEDs offer superior performance characteristics to other display technologies, such as liquid crystal displays, in many applications.

P-OLEDs are already in commercial use, and are expected to be used in mobile applications, televisions and lighting. CDT owns key intellectual property around P-OLED materials, devices and processes, such as inkjet printing, which are used in the manufacture of P-OLED displays.
