Supported project “cyCESH” for cost-efficient printed OLEDs

The launch of the BMBF supported project cyCESH: cynora GmbH, Novaled AG, and Regensburg University explore new functional materials for printed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) for lighting applications.

On June 1, 2013, BMBF launched the project cyCESH involving cynora GmbH, Novaled AG, and the University of Regensburg with the group of Prof. Dr. Hartmut Yersin. The project is set to run for a duration of three years with a total funding of 6.1 million euros.
The research of new soluble materials for the inexpensive production of organic light emitting diodes (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes - OLEDs) and the production of OLED devices with high efficiency are the main focus of the project.

The new printable materials make it possible to manufacture OLEDs with simpler and cheaper printing processes. Currently conventional OLEDs are still mainly being produced by expensive vacuum processes.

“Through our collaboration with Novaled and Prof. Yersin of the University of Regensburg, we combine, within a team of experts, a comprehensive and specific know-how and can take it to the next step in OLED development," said Dr. Thomas Baumann, Managing Director of cynora GmbH "our consortium strives for the overall goal of developing mass-market materials and methods for production of OLEDs.”

The collaboration of these project partners guarantees an optimum coverage of the value chain. Combined together, the areas of material development (Prof. Yersin), the subsequent synthesis, and optimization of the materials (cynora GmbH), as well as the application of solution-based-processed, doped transport layers (Novaled) form a complete comprehensive partnership for OLED applications.

About OLEDs:
OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) are a few nanometers thick (little material) self-radiating flat light sources, which are made of organic semiconductors (free of harmful substances). In an extremely fast growing market, OLEDs play a key role in a revolutionary development: the realization of paper-thin, flexible, highly efficient displays with brilliant colors and high contrast. Organic light emitting diodes are currently used as displays in a selection of smartphones, cameras and MP3 players. There is also a huge market potential in the field of lighting with visionary applications. For lighting applications, a high color rendering index (CRI = 90) and a warm natural white light that is particularly pleasant to the eye. OLEDs have the potential to be more efficient than current energy-saving light sources.

About cynora:
Founded in 2003, cynora GmbH came under new management in 2008. The company’s focus is on researching innovative organic semiconductors whose physical properties as illuminants destine them for applications in organic light-emitting diode (OLEDs). From designing new functional modules for OLEDs and solar cells to manufacturing these components in a lab environment, where they are tested for physical suitability with advanced measurement methods and technology , cynora covers the entire spectrum of material and component development.
Besides exploring new ways of achieving additional efficiency gains, the young and dynamic team behind cynora, currently numbering 20, also works on improving key aspects of OLED applications, such as cost-effective processing and life expectancy. Printing optoelectronic components requires new, intelligent materials and approaches. Resulting products can be used as displays, light sources, design objects and solar cells for energy generation.
