Organic Electronics Saxony (OES) is a research cluster for organic , flexible and printed electronics , which was founded as an association on October 6th, 2008 by 7 companies and 3 research institutes from the organic electronics department . In 2015, over 30 members belonged to the network, which represents the interests of Saxon and Central German companies and research institutions in this technology and, through its measures, promotes the targeted transfer of know-how from university basic research to material development, systems, components and end products.

National and international position

OES sees itself as a pioneer in the competence of its specialist areas, to which small and medium-sized companies also belong. In 2015, around 2000 people were employed in the departments represented by OES in Dresden alone.

In 2011, the three scientists Karl Leo from the Institute for Applied Photophysics Dresden at the TU , Jan Blochwitz-Nimoth from Novaled and Martin Pfeiffer from Heliatek received the German Future Prize from the Federal President from the OES network for their work on “Organic Electronics - More Light and Energy from wafer-thin molecular layers ”.

In 2013, the OES image film was awarded 2nd place at the industry's own short film festival “ nanospots ”.

In 2014, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWI) recognized OES as one of the most efficient national cluster management organizations in Germany as part of the “go-cluster” excellence measure. OES has received the European bronze label from the European Cluster Excellence Initiative (ECEI) for cluster management.

Since 2015, OES has been one of the eleven German winners of the BMBF initiative for the internationalization of top clusters, future projects and comparable networks, in which organic electronics are to be commercialized in Germany with the support of the federal government in cooperation with the world's leading players from Great Britain and Japan.

In the European context, OES is responsible for networking and commercialization through the development of demonstrators as part of the EU project COLAE. Within the European LightJumps project, OES supports the technology transfer and investment in OLED displays, OLED lighting and OLED microdisplays with 5 additional photonics networks. Together with 31 other European high-tech clusters, OES is planning the commercialization of novel electronic components, the so-called "emerging electronic technologies", in the proposed EU project "EEInnovation". There are currently four close partnerships with innovation networks in Austria, Switzerland, Greece and Japan. The establishment of further development cooperations is under way.

Industry research

Organic electronics

Organic electronics is a more recent technology for organic solar cells for photovoltaics , lighting, simple and matrix displays based on organic light-emitting diodes ( OLEDs ), whose origins date back to the 1950s. Manufacturing processes for printed electronics and organic semiconductors give their products properties such as flexibility, low weight or transparency.
