Organic materials are made for P-OLED displays

CDT is to supply customised formulations of Starck organic materials used in the manufacture of P-OLED displays.

Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) and HC have extended their existing co-operative relationship by which CDT will supply customised formulations of Starck organic materials used in the manufacture of P-OLED displays.

HC Starck is a key supplier of "hole transport" materials used in polymer organic light emitting diode displays, a technology in which CDT is a leading developer.

Under the arrangement with Starck, CDT will distribute materials solutions which it will formulate for specific inkjet printing applications.

Inkjet printing has become an important potential method for manufacturing P-OLED displays, and CDT and its partners have built substantial expertise in its application.

Inkjet printing is capable of offering huge scalability, low TAC times and high material utilisation.

CDT has been given nonexclusive rights to distribute the formulated products, with the focus on development quantities and smaller users; HC Starck will have rights to use CDT's formulation expertise and expects to supply larger customers with commercial display manufacturing operations.

For CDT, Dr David Fyfe, CEO commented: "This move is a further strengthening of the supply chain for P-OLED materials".

"Starck has recognised that CDT has leading knowhow in formulating inks for P-OLED display manufacture using ink jet printing".

For HC Starck, Dr Klaus Lerch, Global Manager Marketing and Sales Functional Materials commented: "The granting of a licence to CDT broadens the marketing scope of HC Starck - meeting the challenges of the rapidly developing P-OLED technology, which will be primarily based on inkjet systems".

"We appreciate that CDT regards our Baytron products as key materials in this application".
