Bio

Bernd Richter (male) born 1977, received his diploma in electrical engineering from TU Dresden in 2003 with the focus on information technology and microelectronics. After graduation he became a research fellow at Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden in the field of system and integrated circuit design where he specialized in the design and manufacturing of OLED microdisplays and sensors based on the organic-on-silicon technology. In 2010 he became head of the research group „Microdisplay Devices and Systems“. After the changing to Fraunhofer COMEDD in 2012 he headed the core competency „IC und Systemdesign“, that was transferred into the department „IC und Systemdesign“ at Fraunhofer FEP in 2014. In the further course he redeployed his R&D focus into the direction of technology and integration of organics on silicon wafers. In 2017 he became head of the department „Organic Microelectronic Devices“. Bernd manages several industrial and research projects in the field of data glasses, microdisplays and sensors at national and international level and is deputy head of the business unit "Microdisplays and Sensors".
