The POLEOT (Printing OLED on Textile) project, which concluded on May 2015, developed luminescence OLED-based technology for a wide range of new textile applications and it is supported by Cornet program, German Allianz Industrie Forschung and Flemish Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology.
The project partners were ESMA, Textil, ITA, Universitat Stuttgart, Universitiet Haselt, imec, HoGent and Centexbel.
The cyCESH project aims to research new soluble (printable) materials for low-cost high efficiency OLED lighting devices. The project will develop the mass-market materials and methods for OLED production.
The project partners are Cynora, Novaled and the University of Regensburg. cyCESH was launched on July 2013, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with 6.1 million Euro.
The cyFLEX project was launched in September 2013 by Cynora and the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). The project aims to develop flexible and luminescent surfaces for smart packaging and advertising applications based on OLED lighting panels. The project follows-up to Cynora's cyFLEX panel demonstration shown in October 2012.
HARPOON is a research project funded in part by the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia. There is very little information available on HARPOON, but apparently it's aim is to improve OLED lighting's efficiency in a cost effective way. The researchers will use software simulation and develop algorithms that will optimize vacuum related production processes.
The project coordinator is Philips.
First results from the HARPOON project are expected by 2014.
The IM3OLED (Integrated Multidisciplinary & Multiscale Modeling for OLEDs) is an international collaboration with the Russian Federation that aims to develop a software tool for multiscale OLED lighting modeling. The tool will enable a more systematic R&D process - which will accelerate efficient OLED design development.
The Clean4Yield project aims to ensure high enough yields for cost-effective organic electronics manufacturing. The project partners will develop new technologies for inspecting, cleaning and repairing moving foils, and detecting and preventing defects in large-scale roll-to-roll production of OLEDs and OPVs.
The Flex-o-Fab project is a new â¬11.2-million 3-year project that aims to help commercialize flexible OLEDs within six years. The project partners will create a a pilot-scale modular yet integrated manufacturing chain for flexible OLEDs, and use it to develop reliable fabrication / production processes. In January 2015 the project demonstrated the first prototype.
The four year IMOLA (Intelligent light management for OLED on foil applications) project aims to realize large-area OLED lighting modules with built-in intelligent light management. The idea is that light intensity can be adjusted uniformly or locally according to the time of day or a person's position - and applications include wall, ceiling and in-vehicle (dome) lighting.
The COLAE (Commercializing Organic and Large Area Electronics) is a pan-European initiative that aims to promote commercialization of Organic and large-area electronics in Europe. There are 18 partners from 12 countries.
The COLAE partners will jointly develop technology demonstrators and organize training events. As part of the project, the partners will offer several services such as technology feasibility analyses, access to the partners' pilot production facilities, business planning and networking.
