Cynora announces significant progress towards highly-efficient blue OLED emitters
Germany-based OLED emitter developer Cynora announced it has made significant progress in its highly efficient blue OLED emitter material developments during the last 6 months. The company's materials are not yet ready for commercialization, but the company believes it is on its way.
Cynora develops TADF-based emitters, focusing on blue-color emitters. Cynora has developed deep blue material reaching an EQE of 16.3% (at 100 cd/m2) compared to 3% reached in October 2015, a factor 5 improvement in six months.
Cynora appoints Gildas Sorin as CEO
Gildas Sorin has been appointed CEO of Bruchsal-based Cynora with immediate effect. His great experience in the OLED and display industry makes Mr. Sorin the ideal candidate to take Cynora to the next stage.
This is a strong sign for the development of Cynora being a technology leader in the field of TADF emitter systems for OLEDs since its start in 2008. The French top manager brings his long and international experiences in OLED industries, and his change to the management is also regarded as a signal of the Cynora partners to use the technology leap and translate it into specific economic successes.
On Cynora's copper-based TADF OLED emitters
Cynora is a German startup established in 2003 that developed copper-based OLED emitter systems. In October 2012 the company unveiled a mostly-solution-based flexible OLED prototype, developed in collaboration with InnovationLab. Last month Germany’s BMBF launched the cyCESH project which aims to develop soluble (printable) materials for low-cost high efficiency OLED lighting devices. Cynora is the leader of the consortium in this â¬6 million project, together with Novaled and the University of Regensburg.
Cynora's technology is interesting and the company's CEO Dr. Tobias Grab and the company's Business Development manager, Dr. Mathias Mydlak, were kind enough to provide the information for this article explaining the company's technology.
Novaled and Cynora to co-develop printable OLED materials
Cynora, Novaled and the University of Regensburg will co-develop new soluble (printable) materials for low-cost high efficiency OLED lighting devices. This new project, called cyCESH is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with â¬6.1 million.
Professor Yersin's group a the University of Regensburg will handle material development while Cynora will handle subsequent synthesis and optimization. Novaled will be in handle the application of solution-based-processed, doped transport layers. These three partners form a complete comprehensive partnership for OLED applications.
Cynora unveiled a new flexible OLED prototype aimed for smart packaging
German startup Cynora unveiled a new mostly-solution-based flexible OLED prototype - aimed for smart packaging applications. Cynora developed the low-cost emitters (based on copper precursors) and developed the prototype in collaboration with InnovationLab (in a project titled cyFlex).
Cynora are now working towards the integration of the wiring into the thin film layers of the OLED. Cynora are using solution processing (coating and printing).
