720778FlexOS - Industrially scaling a novel material and process technology for fully flexible and printable organic electronicsClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKPlastic displays based on flexible printed electronics are predicted to revolutionise the performance, product differentiation and cost of novel device form factors. Whilst existing rigid screens can benefit from a step change in weight, thickness, ruggedness, power use and useable lifetime, displays that can be repeatedly bent, folded or rolled will be critical components in applications such as wearable devices. However, despite established frontplane technologies such as OLED showing the required flexibility and long-term performance for dynamically flexible displays (DFD), a corresponding fully flexible backplane technology to drive the display output is yet to be realised. NeuDrive Limited have developed a novel OTFT form factor and fabrication process based on FlexOS (trademarked) - a proprietary OSC formulation based on soluble small molecules/high permittivity semiconductor binders - with world-leading mobility, stability and uniformity performance validated for flexible display backplanes. However, the current pilotscale process is not fully compatible with OEM production line equipment/materials and NeuDrive therefore seek to realise an enabling industrial process technology for economic manufacture of FlexOS-OTFT, underpinning a robust supply chain for DFD backplanes. The project aims to develop new process technology and proprietary passive materials to support immediate adoption on OEM production lines.
