Profile
Located in Richland, Washington, PNNL is one among ten U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories managed by DOE's Office of Science. Our research strengthens the U.S. foundation for innovation, and we help find solutions for not only DOE, but for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the National Nuclear Security Administration, other government agencies, universities and industry. Unlike others, our multidisciplinary scientific teams are brought together to address their problems.

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.5 Aug 2008
The new chemistry of printed electronics
Things have now become really exciting with a huge range of new chemicals, nanotechnology and printing technology brought to bear and sophisticated thin film deposition techniques other than printing being tailored to play a part.24 Jun 2008
European projects accelerate OLED technology for mainstream lighting
The race is on to bring OLED technology into mainstream lighting.
