ROLLED
ROLLED was a European project. The aim was to develop flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that can be mass-produced using purely mechanical printing processes . This would mean that flexible displays in the roll-to-roll process ( English roll to roll ; R2R) could be manufactured inexpensively.
ROLLED was funded by the Information Society Technology (IST) program of the 6th Research Framework Program (FP6) of the European Commission . VTT coordinates this project. It ran from 2004 to 2008.
Attendees
Participants were the Technical Research Center of Finland (VTT), Center Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique SA (CSEM), Leibniz Institute for New Materials GmbH (INM), UPMKymmene Oyj , Hansaprint Oy, Ciba Specialty Chemicals Inc. and PolyIC GmbH.
Result
Researchers have developed flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that can be mass-produced using purely mechanical printing processes. In 2008 there is a multi-colored printing prototype. A higher production speed is possible. The manufacturing costs can be halved compared to manufacturing processes with glass substrates. Estimated time until printed OLEDs are commercially used is two to three years.
Continuation of the topic
The follow-up project in the 7th Framework Program is the FLAME project .
