ovaled in Germany demonstrated it’s know how and expertise on efficient and long life-

time OLEDs on metal at the Light and Building fair in Frankfurt. Novaleds PIN OLEDs on metal substrates combine the attractive appearance and superior physical properties of the metal substrates with the unique features of Novaled OLEDs such as long lifetime of up to 20.000 hrs. Metal substrates like steel or aluminium have excellent barrier properties, flexibility and robustness for handling. OLEDs on metal can be used in applications where magnetic clipping of the OLEDs is intended or where solde- ring, drilling and similar assembly steps are required. Furthermore, metal will also allow for bended or bendable OLED solutions. As this substrate material has very good heat conducting properties, OLEDs on metal are advantageous in application where heat dissipation is critical. In addition, metal substrate opens the roadmap towards low cost roll-to-roll mass production of OLEDs. Novaled has a profound know how on how to build OLEDs on metal. Together with Arcelor Mittal Novaled has been developing OLED structures for steel substrates since 2006. In the Ger- man project Rollex Novaled contributed since 2007 to develop OLEDs on flexible aluminium substrates. “Besides demonstrating excellent results with OLEDs on glass Novaled has developed a unique know how on OLEDs on metal”, says Gildas Sorin, CEO No- valed AG. “With OLEDs on metal Novaled is exten- ding the range of lighting applications and solutions

to specific market needs.” The OLEDs manufactured by Novaled for luminaires and light sculptures shown at Light + Building Frankfurt are processed direct-

ly on steel plates of 0.7mm thickness. The metal

substrate requires specific top emitting OLED struc- tures. Novaled has developed a dedicated ITO free OLED architecture reaching performances similar to standard bottom emission structures. In addition Novaled is developing thin film encapsulation which will enable bended OLEDs.

erlikon Solar (OERL) has received several key technology certifications that will help its

customers bring thin film PV to market even more quickly. Oerlikon Solar has received a UL®

Ma-

ster Certificate for solar PV, and an expanded TÜV Rheinland IEC certification for a new 130 Watt-peak (Wp) highly efficient module design. Micromorph® and all other Oerlikon Solar technologies including technologies produced on commercial TCO or on Oerlikon Solar in-house produced TCO are now UL
