US researchers led by OLED expert Stephen Forrest, vice president for research at the University of Michigan's materials science and engineering department, have developed a printing process for depositing OLED materials.
The Organic Vapour Jet Deposition process could simplify the manufacturing of OLEDs for displays and lighting, which could also reduce costs.
Forrest presented the research at the Plastic Electronics 2011 event taking place today in Dresden, Germany.
The scalable process could pattern a 60-inch OLED television display in 25 seconds, according to Forrest.
The quality of the patterned display is also better than needed for current applications, he adds.
