KONFECT (thin glass for glass-polymer laminates) is a German collaborative development project that aims to develop ultra-thin glass on a roll for organic electronics application - with an initial focus on OLEDs. The goal of the consortium is to refine windable glass through lamination with functional adhesive tapes and by applying special functional layers.
The project consortium includes three partners - Schott, tesa and VON ARDENNE, and two sub projects. Schott and tesa will develop reliable encapsulation by combining Schott's flexible glass with tesa's barrier tape. Von Ardenne, meanwhile, is developing a vacuum coating system specifically for roll-to-roll (R2R) coating of flexible glasses.
KONFECT will run for three years, and is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of â¬5.6 million.
