Cambridge Display Technology has announced that it has been awarded another grant by the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). This grant will part fund a project which will be important in the field of low-cost organic electronic devices, and especially in the development of low-cost flexible displays. The total value of project is around $500k.
The project will aim to develop commercially viable computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation techniques to model the drying behavior of organic semiconductors. Until now, the production of working display prototypes has required the use of empirical data which is both expensive and slow to obtain. Using the new models, the development cycle time should be significantly reduced.
Working with lead partner CDT on this project is ANSYS Europe, a subsidiary of ANSYS, Inc. ANSYS Europe will implement the models for organic semiconductor drying behavior in order to provide predictive tools within its ANSYS CFX(r) software, which should lead to further understanding of the complex drying process.
