Project to shed light on OLED
illumination
A grant from the UK Department of Trade and Industry will help fund a project to develop materials and device architectures for large-area white-lighting applications.
Cambridge Display Technology (CDT), together with Thorn Lighting and the University of Durham, have been awarded a GBP 1.6 million grant by the UK Department of Trade and Industry-led Technology Programme The grant will part fund a three year project to develop solution processable organic materials and device architectures suitable for large-area white-lighting applications

Research sheds new light on LEPs
The nature of one of the fundamental processes for light generation in light emitting polymer (LEP), materials has now been experimentally demonstrated by scientists from Cambridge and Oman.
Longer operating life for LEP displays
Cambridge Display Technology is claiming a dramatic improvement in the life performance of display devices based on light emitting polymer technology.
The total project cost is GBP 3.3 million.
Under terms of the grant, CDT through its Sumation joint venture will provide materials, device architecture and testing, modelling, and technical input.
The project is aimed at developing materials and devices for solid-state, high efficiency lighting applications based on CDT's patented P-OLED technology.
Light emitting polymer materials can be solution processed and offers the potential of low cost manufacturing for large lighting panels.
Successful completion of this project will offer novel lighting products with environmental benefits.
Welcoming the project, Science and Innovation Minister, Malcolm Wicks said: "The UK has a proud history of innovation in science and technology.
We believe that we must work with industry to develop the marketable products and services of tomorrow, so that we can maintain our position as a leading global economy.
"That's why we're supporting this project to develop the potential of low cost manufacturing of large lighting panels.
It provides a great opportunity to harness the UK's world-class expertise".
"The support of the Technology Programme on this project is greatly appreciated", said Dr David Fyfe, CEO of CDT.
"It will allow us to make fast progress in improving our ability to develop inks and device technology, as well as expand the application of our P-OLED technology into the lighting market".
