Agfa Materials and Holst Centre demonstrate world's first ITO*- and litho-free OLEDS on foil
Agfa Materials, part of the Belgian Agfa-Gevaert Group, Philips Research, and Holst Centre, an open-innovation initiative by IMEC (Belgium) and TNO (The Netherlands) demonstrate the world’s first large-area flexible OLED tile that does not require ITO as transparent electrode and has printed shunting lines. The result, partly funded by the EU FP7 Fast2Light project, eliminates costly material and lithography process steps.
