Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and organic solar cells (OSC) based on polymeric materials are considered to exhibit a great potential for the development of novel solar power and energy-efficient display and light technologies.

cynora focuses on the research of novel semiconducting polymers, which, due to their intrinsic photophysical properties, are supposed to be used as white polymer light-emitting diodes (WPLEDs).

In the future the challenge will be, besides further efficiency improvements, the cost-effective processability and operational stability of OLED devices.

cynora technologies provide the synthesis of optoelectronic materials on a multi-gram scale.

These photoactive polymers are commercially available for thin film testing purposes and the development of printing technologies.

With its state-of-the-art laboratories in the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, cynora is situated right in the centre of one of the leading Technology areas in Europe.

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) represents the cooperation between the University Karlsruhe and the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.

Photonik: Visolas and cynora develop new laser dyes

 October 2011: German professional journal "Photonik" published an article about cynora's newest corporation just recently: We collaborate with Visolas, a start-up from Karlsruhe. Using our experience in the development of emitting materials for OLEDs, we're currently developing new laser dyes for flexible, printed Organic Lasers. Thomas Woggon from Visolas describes how one can manage to build these devices and for which application they are good for.

Abstract (german)
Organischen Halbleitern gehört die Zukunft: Seit Mitte der 90er-Jahre die ersten, auf organischen Molekülen basierenden Leuchtdioden (OLEDs) und Solarzellen (OPV) entwickelt wurden, hat die Wissenschaft viele wichtige Erkenntnisse gewonnen und umsetzen können. Erste Prototypen wie ultradünne Leuchtfolien, Taschen mit integrierten flexiblen Solarzellen zur Energieversorgung mobiler Geräte und halbtransparente Displays sorgen auf Innovationsmessen für großes Aufsehen. Mit durchstimmbaren organischen Lasern, die im sichtbaren Spektralbereich operieren und sich ideal für die optische Messtechnik eignen, wurde ein neuer Meilenstein gesetzt.
