Current and future state-of-the-art commercial polymer materials shall be used in the Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) program to develop a process enabling the manufacture of a top-emitting P-OLED device structure. This shall enable to develop "top emission" display devices.
This structure utilizing a transparent cathode shall have enhanced lifetime and efficiency compared to the bottom-emitting RGB devices. The program will also develop a "know-how" associated with the manufacture of transparent cathode devices.
Reduced risk and faster time to market are also expected through this approach.
The project aims to build on a basic research in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) - organic polymers that emit light when a voltage is applied to them - for applications including IT and lighting.
Active matrix displays have also been seen as an important step in the commercialization of OLED technology.
