Scale up of materials for OLEDs

OTI Lumionics公司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。目前，三星电子正在大幅提高OLED生产能力，转向采用连续OLED生产过程的在线OLED生产系统，而不是批量生产过程。通过与OTI Lumionics的合作，我们已经确定了一些关键分子，这些分子对oled的潜在商业集成非常感兴趣。然而，在商业化之前，需要在更大规模上进行额外的表征。因此，OTI Lumionics将需要至少100g批次的感兴趣产品来测试在线加工和制造。由于我们的新化合物缺乏商业化学来源，因此解决规模和工艺化学及其对OLED性能的影响非常重要。最后，我们将培训HQP作为这个优秀培训计划的一部分，包括专业有机化学，化学工程和规模，实验设计和对有机电子学发展和表征的整体理解，这是目前在加拿大和世界范围内蓬勃发展的领域。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，而且对整个加拿大有益。

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.
