CPI Manufactures Large Area Small Molecule and Polymer OLED Lighting Demonstrators

Manufactured on CPI’s OLED/OPV Prototyping Line, CPI recently produced defect-free OLED lighting demonstrators with emissive areas of greater than 250cm2. The device structure is hybrid in construction, consisting of a solution processed hole injection layer and a small molecule emissive layer deposited by a co-evaporation technique. Slot die coating technology has been utilized to provide a large area, defect-free, thin film coating. An encapsulation process utilizing glue dispense and getter placement completes the panel assembly to maximize lifetime and device performance.

CPI’s prototyping line has been designed to enable the development and production of organic light emitting diode (OLED) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) technologies. Located within the new state of the art ISO Class 5 cleanroom facility, the prototyping line provides materials companies, device designers and end users with the opportunity to develop their technology within an automated and closelycontrolled environment.

CPI is currently involved in a number of collaborative programs using this line. OLAE + (Flexibilis) and TSB (HiPBE) will utilize the line to produce prototypes for the characterization and development of high performance barrier layers. The line will also be used in projects to support demonstration of ultra-flexible active matrix (AM) OLED using CPI’s organic transistor technology.
