Cambrios Technologies Corporation and Plextronics, Inc. have joined a force to develop an OLED material for improving the manufacturing process and quality of lighting products.
An assistance agreement with the Department of Energy (DOE) Solid State Lighting (SSL) program provides part of the fund with the collaboration.
According to the collaboration, Plextronics’ proprietary Plexcore® OC material, which functions as a key component of OLEDs known as the hole injection layer , will be applied on top of Cambrios’ proprietary ClearOhm™ material that creates a transparent electrode to form a transparent conducting hole injection (TCHI) electrode.
The period of performance for this assistance agreement will be for two years commencing on April 16, 2010.
