Newly formed Heraeus Electronic Materials Division at LED/OLED Lighting Japan 2014 Exhibition, Tokyo 15-17th January.
Innovative advanced materials for OLED, LED, and touch display technologies will be presented at the LED/OLED Lighting Japan Exhibition and Conference by Heraeus Electronic Materials Division, the leading supplier of Clevios(TM) PEDOT based conductive polymers and silver materials.
The new Electronic Materials Division has already provided customer benefits, for example by using low curing temperature Heraeus silver resinate to print metal bus bar grids then planarized with Clevios(TM) PEDOT conductive polymers to produce low cost printable transparent electrodes for OLED Lighting applications.
Dr Stephan Kirchmeyer, Head of the newly formed Business Unit Displays and Semiconductors at Heraeus, said „The public“s appetite for display devices sees no limits. Clevios(TM) PEDOT and silver materials are key components in moving towards more economic and sustainable basis for touch technologies. OLEDs provide the ultimate viewing display. Heraeus can provide producers with a „one-stop“ solution for multiple layers of the device. With synergies providing superior performance and potentially lower manufacturing cost, Heraeus Electronic Materials now provides a technical choice for OLED and touch panel manufacturers that was unthinkable 5 years ago.“
Heraeus Product Innovations at Lighting Japan
At Lighting Japan 2014, Heraeus will spotlight the newly developed Clevios(TM) HIL-E materials that in one layer provide both the function as a transparent conductive planarization layer and HIL (hole-injection layer) properties. This approach allows a simplification of the OLED stack and reduction of manufacturing complexity of the OLED, supporting the urgent need to reduce costs of OLED Lighting products to make them competitive in the general lighting market.
The Clevios(TM) product range also includes the established highly conductive PH1000 and the development material Clevios(TM) HY1, providing sheet resistivity up to 50 Ohm/Sq.. Both materials are practical alternatives to existing transparent conductive oxides, especially Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), as they are transparent, printable and economical in use.
The unique properties of silver resinates include conductivity very near to bulk silver combined with very low surface roughness. These properties allow completely new applications, as very thin lines in the nm range to highly conductive narrow tracks can now be printed. Application methods are by traditional screen or sophisticated emerging technologies such as gravure offset printing.
The booth will feature OLED lighting demonstrators based on printed silver grids and Clevios(TM) conductive polymer electrodes. Also a flexible lamp on plastic substrate that was prepared in cooperation with PolyIC, Germany will be shown. Invisible wiring of LEDs and touch applications using Clevios(TM) Etch and SET to establish active and non-conductive areas on PET film will also be demonstrated.
With applications using OLEDs and touch technologies expanding at a rapid rate, silver and conductive Clevios™ materials offer producers greater choice for the next generation of displays. For example, with Clevios(TM), TVs and lighting, along with mobile phones and tablets may become lighter, more economic and potentially even flexible.
