By Piotr Trzaska | Noctiluca | https://noctiluca.eu/ OLED (organic light-emitting diodes) is the display technology based on a thin layer of organic emitters that emit light of a specific color. Key parts of the structure of OLED displays are OLED emitters - the chemical compounds in form of a powder responsible for luminescence - light emission after application of electric current. The quality of the image displayed using OLED technology, the saturation of the color, and the intensity of the light depends for the most part on the emitter parameters, which have evolved with the development of the industry. OLED technologies have been divided into 4 generations, depending on the characteristics of the emitter, which determine the properties of the diode constructed with its use: 1st generation - fluorescent diodes, 2nd generation phosphorescent diodes, 3rd generation based on the TADF effect, and 4th generation based on hyperfluorescence. Noctiluca develops third- and fourth-generation OLED TADF emitter systems, which will become an alternative to existing technology. Why? Let’s find the answer while analyzing all the generations. First generation emitters, so called “fluorescent OLEDs” OLED displays of the first generation are called fluorescent OLEDs and use organic emitters. As the intersystem crossing (ISC) between states of different multiplicity is impossible due to basic laws of physics, only transition S1 -> S0 is allowed and radiative. Upon an electrical excitation...

Simply scroll down mmWave 5G RFFE based on LTCC and printed Ag metallization LTCC with printed Ag metallization is an excellent choice for heterogeneous integration of electronics, especially for high-frequency (mmWave and 5G) and harsh environmental conditions. Indeed, it shows our printed electronics can play a role in the 5G/6G communications infrastructure. In this study, DuPont demonstrates an Antenna-in-Package (AiP) which integrates a beam steerable antenna array in a Radio Frequency Front-End module (RFFE) operating at 28...

Okay. Perfect. Thank you so much for the introduction. Thanks, everybody, for sticking around towards the end. I'm very excited to talk to you today about rapid prototyping for soft and stretchable electronics. So a little bit about me. I'm a product manager at Volterra. I have a background in nanotechnology, joined Volterra in 2014, have been a materials scientist, a product engineer, electromechanical design engineer, and now I'm leading our entry into next generation electronics at Volterra. If you haven't heard of Volterra in 2015, we created a circuit board printer that would help electronics engineers speed up their development time. We were inspired by how 3D printing could use, could bring ideation to concept for mechanical design. And we really wanted to do the same thing for electronics focusing on the PCB manufacturing process. However, shortly after we launched the product over the next couple of years, we spoke to our users and found that they were really surprising us with what they were doing. So these weren't the electronics engineers or some of them weren't the electronics engineers and product developers that we'd initially imagined using this. These were researchers and scientists at world leading institutions who are really pushing the boundaries of what was possible with electronics. And from that, we learned a lot about what could be possible when ...

Speaker: Erik Kremers | Company: SALD | Date: 9-10 Feb 2022 | Full Presentation In all growth markets, maximum throughput at the lowest possible costs is essential for success! SALD has developed a unique technology that makes this possible, which is protected by several patents. This technology has been incorporated into a compact machine that can be used for research as well as for small-scale production. It does not matter which material is involved: battery electrode, solar cell, OLED or foil. Moreover, SALD is the only company in the world that has the expertise to subsequently quickly and reliably upscale the Spatial ALD technology to high volume production. In Spatial ALD (SALD) precursors are continuously supplied in different locations and kept apart by an inert gas region or zone. Film growth is achieved by exposing the substrate to the locations containing the different precursors. The process is very fast and compatible with fast-throughput techniques such as roll-to-roll (R2R) and is versatile and cheap to scale up. In addition, one of the main assets of SALD is that it can be performed at ambient pressure and even in the open air, while not compromising the deposition rate.

Yuan Gu and Ayan Maity - Senior Scientists, Electroninks As the world of electronics continues to change shape – literally, and products become wearable, flexible, foldable, and capable of processing data at the same time, the demand for the tiny circuitry that makes this all possible has hit a tipping point, creating a need for innovative solutions. Advancements in additive manufacturing are dictating the shape, size and even purpose of new products yet to be created by consumer and industrial companies. Electroninks' particle-free inks - along with the next generation of NanoJet provided by the Integrated Deposition Solution (IDS) system - allows for the fabrication of sensors and circuits. The combination of Electroninks’ particle-free inks and IDS NanoJet provides a higher mass output, better printing quality, and lower cost to fabricate electronics compared with other traditional digital printing technologies. Particle-free Cu, Ni, Ag, Au and Pt conductive inks from Electroninks, Inc. (based in Austin, TX) are metallo-organic-based inks that provide superior performance and reliability compared to nanoparticle-based inks. Particle-free inks consisting of metal-organic precursors typically have better performance because they reduce metal films more cleanly, often at lower temperature. Final films do not contain organic components and tend to survive stress/adhesion tests which increase their reliability to moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and aerospace standards. Particl...
