The Holland Research Institute plans to manufacture OLED lighting products in a continuous scroll

Holland Research Institute Holst Centre plans to make 2014 to 2015 in a continuous rolling strip (roll-to-roll:RtoR) manufacturing OLED lighting and the use of continuous rolling of OLED luminous billboard reached the practical level. Organic semiconductor technology related international conference "was held in the German Frankfurt Organic Semiconductor Conference 2008 (OSC-08)", the company in his speech and then accept this station reporters have announced the above information. At present, the company has produced a wide base of 300mm foil metal manufacturing device.

A continuous rolling strip is a method of producing a large amount of printed matter at a low cost, as printed in a newspaper. Specifically refers to the roll on the flexible film on the bottom plate, printed on it a variety of electronic circuits, and then roll to the reel. Printing is the OLED light film production can be achieved at the cost of flexible products.

Recently, many manufacturers have been involved in the development of OLED lighting. Japanese companies from MITSUBISHI heavy industries, Rohm, letterpress printing and Mitsui joint venture set up Lumiotec, Matsushita Electric and Konica Minolta plans to supply samples from 2009 to 2011. Overseas companies, the United States General Electric (GE), Germany OSRAM Semiconductors (Opto semiconductor GmbH) and Holland PHILPS lighting is also developing OLED lighting.

Holst Centre Ton Mol demonstrated the trial of the flexible OLED panel van. The OLED panel thickness of less than 1mm, can only show blue monochrome static image. Small battery driver.

These manufacturers, general electric and Konica Minolta in 07 March began to cooperate in the development of OLED lighting. Both companies insist on the use of continuous scroll bar development OLED lighting. On the other hand, PHILPS lighting in 08 September 16th announced that it will lead the other companies listed in 2009, the largest area of 50cm2 lighting products OLED Lumiblade".

Holst Centre is a Belgian Research Institute IMEC, Holland TNO, as well as the Holland Ministry of economic affairs in 2005 to set up a joint venture research institutions. The agency announced in July 08, will continue to use the scroll bar to develop organic thin-film solar cells.
