The US DOE announced a new round of solid-state lighting investment (it's the third one since 2010). Of the three projects selected, there's one relates to OLEDs. K-Space Associates were granted $800,000 (out of $1.2 million ) to develop high-precision measurements of OLED layers during mass production using the company's existing optical monitoring technology.
K-Space's tool will measure layer thickness and composition to ultimately improve the efficiency, color, and lifetime of OLEDs. They hope that this development will serve as a platform for future large-scale OLED production facilities.
