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.
November 2011: cynora is getting bigger: We welcome three new coworkers boosting our R&D team.
The new scientists bring their broad experience, enthusiasm and bright ideas in our organic light-emitting diode and our organic solar cell department. They will join forces with the rest of the staff to bring optoelectronic materials to a whole new level. We are now 11 scientists working for a bright (OLED) an energetic (OPV) future.
