Why Flexible?
•
Enhanced functionality for the end user: bendable, rollable, wearable
devices
But also
• Easy integration of foils in products
• Efficient large area production of foil devices (e.g. roll-to-roll)
• Low cost of substrate

Lighting Opportunities and Challenges
•
•
•
Reducing power consumption
Thin, flexible, form freedom: enabling new product concepts
Tunable color
•
•
•
•
Light output and efficiency
Lifetime (>displays) and reliability (e.g. encapsulation; shorts)
Large area deposition process
Extreme cost price challenge
Introducing Holst Centre

Flexible OLED’s for Lighting and Signage
•
Challenges: ultrathin wet-processed layers
with very uniform thickness (a few %) and
without pinholes and with barriers that
meet OLED requirements
•
Recent results: bottom-emitting and topemitting PLED devices 15x15 cm
demonstrated on flexible polymer and
metal substrates
