The main focus is on synthesis of novel materials with improved optoelectronic properties as well as in the device design and manufacture. The concentration is on solution processible systems which can be manufactured by area or digital printing techniques. In a large clean room environment several processing techniques are available from spin coating for material evaluation in lab devices up to advanced processing techniques such as inkjet printing and high precision slot die coating on a robot controlled S2S manufacturing line where devices can be processed on a pilot scale in sizes up to 150 x 150 mm². The line includes thermal and e-beam evaporation of metals as cathode materials as well as organic or inorganic materials as interlayers. An atomic layer deposition is included for thin film encapsulation of the active materials for their protection from environmental influences. Current issues for the development of OLED, OPV and OTFT go into the design of flexible devices for signage, for security applications and energy harvesting. One focus is on the combination of different organic electronic devices such as OTFT driven OLEDs or OPV powered OLEDs.
