Speaker BiographyPeter Kruijt is a mechanical engineer with a PhD in polymer processing and Rheology from the Eindhoven University of Technology. Before joining the Holst Centre he has worked on nozzle failure detection of piezo printheads, media conditioning and media handling (roll to sheet), all for wide format (graphical) inkjet printing systems. At the Holst Centre he works on inkjet printing of PEDOT inks, Light Emitting Polymer inks and Organic Photovoltaic inks for large pixels. The goal is to print free standing pixels with dimensions in the centimeter range, with a homogeneous light output over the area. Therefore, thickness variations should be limited to approximately 2%. The most important ways to influence the thickness distribution are print strategy and solvent system (the drying behaviour of the wet layer). The research therefore focuses on the interaction between ink and substrate, as well as the interactions between inks. Company ProfileHolst Centre is an independent open-innovation R&D centre that develops generic technologies for Wireless Autonomous Transducer Solutions and for Systems-in-Foil. A key feature of Holst Centre is its partnership model with industry and academia around shared roadmaps and programs. It is this kind of cross-fertilization that enables Holst Centre to tune its scientific strategy to industrial needs.
Holst Centre was set up in 2005 by IMEC (Flanders, Belgium) and TNO (The Netherlands) with support from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Government of Flanders. It is named after Gilles Holst, a Dutch pioneer in Research and Development and first director of Philips Research.
Located on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, Holst Centre benefits from the state-of-the-art on-site facilities. Holst Centre has over 100 employees (growing to over 200 by 2010) and a commitment from over 15 industrial partners.
