Patented electron injector reduces OLED manufacturing costs thanks to its low temperature deposition using vacuum coating methods.
Host material improves OLED displays
A new patented host material for OLED displays claims significant performance benefits compared with existing alternatives.
Both will be based at the company's new 186m2 wet chemistry laboratory and will be responsible for developing future generations of OLED materials known as Elamates.
The wet chemistry laboratory will enable OLED materials to be developed, manufactured and tested.
DisplaySearch, the worldwide leader in display market research and consulting, reported that the OLED industry reached revenues of over $500 million in 2005 and forecast revenues of more than $4.6 billion in 2010.
"The applications that can benefit from OLED technology are continuously growing and we are now seeing potential uses in previously uncharted areas, such as lighting", said Myrddin Jones, CEO at OLED-T.
"We are committed to developing OLED materials for our display industry partners, but our innovation does not stop there".
"While lighting may be some way off, OLED-T is poised to react to immediate market opportunities and demonstrate that we are the most exciting and versatile materials manufacturer in the industry".
As Synthetic Organic Chemist, Dr S Surendrakumar will lead the OLED-T's Materials Development facility at the Brunel site, reporting directly to Professor Poopathy Kathirgamanathan, CTO at OLED-T.
Surendrakumar has held a number of research and academic roles prior to this appointment.
Before joining OLED-T, he was a Senior Research Scientist at London South Bank University for nearly seven years.
Prior to that, he was a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Leeds.
Surendrakumar has published over 30 research papers and currently holds 10 international patents.
Working alongside Surendrakumar, Dr Sam Yun Fu Chan has been appointed Inorganic Synthetic Chemist.
Since completing his PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Reading, Chan has worked in a number of post-doctoral research roles at the university, most recently supervising post-graduate students.
