Sumitomo Chemical and Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) agreed joint development of high efficiency polymer organic light-emitting diode (OLED/PLED) display materials. The agreement is for co-operation in the development and scale-up of a range of solution processable, PLED materials, designed for use primarily in the manufacture of flat panel displays.
Sumitomo Chemical and Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) agreed joint development of high efficiency polymer organic light-emitting diode (OLED/PLED) display materials. The agreement is for co-operation in the development and scale-up of a range of solution processable, PLED materials, designed for use primarily in the manufacture of flat panel displays.
Under the agreement, the companies will focus on the development of new solution processable, phosphorescent materials, such as dendrimers, which exhibit very high efficiencies and good stability. High efficiency emitters are especially important in portable electronic displays such as in cell phones, PDAs and digital cameras, where battery supplies are used. The new PLED materials are also expected to find applications for TV displays and possibly for lighting devices in the future.
The development team consists of around 20 scientists, mainly PhDs, and will be based in Japan and the UK.
