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.
The IMAGE (innovation printable electrode materials for high performance lighting devices and organic solar cells) aimed to develop novel transparent electrodes, which are arranged on a backing film and enable flexible electronic components. The project concluded in January 2014, you can read about the results here.
TOPDRAWER (Thin organic prototypes, design, research, applications with end-user recognition) will develop and demonstrate a printed manufacturing process that will be integrated into attractive designs that have been created through consultation with potential end-users. The manufacturing process will be proved and tested within PETEC, that will acquire and install a large-area coating line.
The CELLO project (or Cost-Efficient Lighting devices based on Liquid processes and ionic Organometallic complexes) aims to develop thin film flexible and large area lighting sources based on light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEC). CELLO also aims to develop scalable and roll-to-roll (R2R) compatible wet deposition processes.
CELLO hopes that the final panels will provide a large area white light source that is:
ROLLEX 2 is a follow up to the original ROLLEX project (which will end April 2010). ROLLEX stands for Roll-to-roll production of highly efficient light-emitting diodes on flexible substrates. The major goal of ROLLEX 2 will be to further integrate the processing steps used to make flexible OLED lighting devices in the current ROLLEX project, which ends next month. ROLLEX 2 will also work on flexible organic solar cells.
EMO (Emerging Market OLED) is a three year project that aims research, develop and eventually produce OLED lighting panels targeting emerging markets in Brazil. This project is a collaboration by Philips and the CERTI Foundation (Reference Center in Innovative Technologies).
GENESIS is a follow-up project to TOPASÂ started in 2010. TOPAS focused on developing innovative material and component architectures and well as new production machines for lighting solutions with highly efficient OLEDs. GENESIS aims to scale down to manufacture-compliant processes and substrate sizes.
ManuCloud (distributed Cloud product specification and supply chain manufacturing execution infrastructure) project is an EU project (led by Fraunhofer COMEDD, Heliatek, Tridonic Dresden and others) that envisions a cloud-like architecture concept, providing users with the ability to utilize the manufacturing capabilities of configurable, virtualized production networks.
The TOPAS (Thousand Lumen Organic Phosphorescent devices for Applications in lighting Systems) research project is focused on developing innovative material and component architectures and well as new production machines for lighting solutions with highly efficient OLEDs. Within the project group OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is focusing on a transparent OLED solution with an area of 1Â square meter.
