Universal breakthrough new technology, the successful use of volume to volume "spin coating" production OLED

The United States Ge Corp announced before the date of Dachang breakthroughs in OLED manufacturing technology, this technology is the world's first successful use of the roll to roll the "spin" mode of production OLED.

This technology will significantly reduce the cost of production of OLED and other highly efficient organic electronic products, to achieve a leap in lighting, so that the use of flat lighting into commercial applications is no longer a luxury. It will contain OLED in the decoration new premises (organic light-emitting diode) materials of different colors "wallpaper", want to cut into their desired shape, posted on the wall or roof after electrify, have bright color, uniform wall lighting. The company's technology will make this vision a reality.

OLED lighting is one of the key technologies in the world. Although the technology has been able to achieve the application, but because OLED is not able to mass production, flat lighting can only be kept in the laboratory because of the high cost. Ge Corp senior project manager said organic electronic technology, researchers have long dreamed of like printing a newspaper through the "roll" spin coating production mode of OLED, we now show that this can be achieved, so as to meet the requirements of commercial applications of low cost lighting. Ge Corp China R & D center president said: "commercial OLED lighting times coming, the low cost of the spin coating process will break the current obstacles to large-scale application of OLED lighting barrier, the architects will have more choice of design is very modern, many of our living habits and ideas will be changed accordingly. "

It is understood that the OLED device consists of two electrode plates sandwiched between one or more layers of organic semiconductor film, after the organic film can emit light. As the next generation of planar distributed solid-state light source, it has the characteristics of thin, flexible and efficient, can be used for lighting systems, flat display and many other household and commercial areas. In the future, not only the walls and ceilings of the "wallpaper light" will likely replace the traditional lamps, the computer screen will also be rolled into a barrel and carry. As an efficient light source, the technology has the potential to significantly improve the luminous efficiency, energy saving.
