OLLA Project

Inorganic printed electronics employs new compounds

There are huge opportunities for companies providing inorganic chemicals to printed and potentially printed electronics. Here, Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx, summarises some of the findings from the new IDTechEx report "Inorganic and Composite Printed Electronics 2009-2019."

OLEDs to be rescued by inorganic chemistry?

The largest potential market for OLEDs is for mass produced, flexible, low cost versions, particularly wide area types with long life because they enable many exciting new product concepts to be realised rather than replace existing displays in familiar devices.

European projects accelerate OLED technology for mainstream lighting

The race is on to bring OLED technology into mainstream lighting.

The OLLA project delivers its final milestone

At the end of the project period, the OLLA project consortium presents its final milestone: the basic technology for a white OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) light source, with an efficacy of 50.7 lumens per watt at an initial brightness of 1.000 cd/m² based on the Novaled PIN OLED technology. The OLLA project is a joint basic research consortium, headed by Philips Lighting.

New direction for printed electronics in 2008

The money spent on printed and potentially printed electronics doubled in 2007, as did the number of organisations participating.

2nd report on Printed Electronics USA

$300 billion by 2027 predicted by IDTechEx at Printed Electronics USA for new post-silicon electronics.

Global Comparison of Lighting Efficiency Made Possible

The OLLA project delivered in May this year, OLEDs with an efficacy of 25 lm per Watt, which is twice as efficient as a standard incandescent lamp.

OLED Lighting Has a Bright Future

Two and a half years after its start, the European research project OLLA* presents its second milestone: a prototype white Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) light source, with an efficacy of 25 lumen per watt and a lifetime of over 5.000 hours

Europe Takes Leadership in Printed Electronics

Surprisingly, Europe has been pulling ahead of the rest of the world in many aspects of printed and potentially printed electronics just lately. Learn more in this article.
