Scale up of materials for OLEDs

OTI Lumionics Inc.是一家总部位于多伦多的有机发光二极管(OLED)制造商，提供新颖的照明和显示解决方案。OTI开发了突破性的专有技术，以降低OLED生产的边际成本、OLED生产设备的资本成本，并提高OLED设备的性能指标。他们目前正在通过转向在线OLED生产系统来大幅提高OLED产能，该系统使用连续的OLED制造工艺，而不是批量到批量的工艺。在与OTI Lumionics的合作中，我们已经确定了一些关键分子，这些分子对OLED潜在的商业集成非常感兴趣。然而，在商业化之前，需要在更大的范围内进行额外的表征。因此，OTI Lumionics将需要至少100克批次的感兴趣的产品来测试在线加工和制造。由于我们的新型化合物缺乏商业化学来源，因此解决放大和工艺化学及其对OLED性能的影响是很重要的。最后，我们将培训HQP作为这一优秀培训计划的一部分，该计划包括在专业有机化学、化学工程和扩大规模、实验设计以及对有机电子的开发和表征的全面了解方面的宝贵技能，该领域目前正在加拿大和世界范围内蓬勃发展。从NSERC CRD研究项目中获得的应用知识不仅对安大略省的工业有益，而且对整个加拿大都是有益的。

OTI Lumionics Inc. is a Toronto-based organic light emitting diode (OLED) manufacturer for novel lighting and display solutions. OTI has developed breakthrough proprietary technologies to reduce the marginal cost of OLED production, the capital cost of OLED production equipment, and increase performance metrics of OLED devices. They are currently in the process of drastically ramping up their OLED production capacity by moving to an in-line OLED production system, which utilizes a continuous OLED manufacturing process as opposed to a batch-to-batch process. In collaboration with OTI Lumionics, we have identified some key molecules which are of great interest for potential commercial integration into OLEDs. However before commercialization is possible, additional characterization is required on a larger scale. OTI Lumionics would therefore require a minimum of 100g batch of a product of interest to test inline processing and manufacturing. Due to the lack of commercial chemical sources of our novel compounds it is important to address the scale up and process chemistry as well as its effect on the OLED performance. Finally, we will train HQP as part of this excellent training program that includes valuable skills in specialized organic chemistry, chemical engineering and scale up, experimental design and a holistic understanding of the development and characterization of organic electronics, a field that is currently blossoming in Canada and worldwide. The application knowledge gained from this NSERC CRD research program will not only be beneficial for industry in Ontario, but for all of Canada.
