The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is a UK based R&D institute that helps companies develop and scale manufacturing processes. CPI caters for the pharma, food, chemical, energy, transportation and printable electronics markets. It is a non-profit institute funded by the UK government, the private sector (through contract R&D services) and matched-funding EU projects.
CPI hosts UK's printed electronics technology center which includes an OLED/OPV prototyping line called LACE (built by MBraun) that can produce up to 20 samples per day with a panel size from 100mm to 200mm square. The line has slot-die and spin coating modules, metal and organic evaporation and encapsulation and enables deposition of OLED materials.
