In March 2016 the EU launched the PI-SCALE with an aim to create a European-wide pilot line which will enable companies of all sizes to quickly and cost effectively test and scale up their flexible OLED lighting concepts and turn them into market ready products. PI-SCALE members recently managed to produce 10-meter long OLED lighting panels . The PI-SCALE project now launched a flexible OLED design competition, calling out designers to propose OLED lighting and signage applications that highlight the special features of OLED technology: foldable, twistable, bendable, conformable, transparency, large area illumination.

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the Dow Chemical Company have chosen a bottom-up approach to patterning emissive polymers, aiming to solve some of the problems that plague Solution-based protocols for OLED manufacture. The team started with a layer of indium tin oxide and used light-activated chemistry to pinpoint specific locations on the surface for polymer growth. Key to the success of this approach are designer iridium photocatalysts that serve two roles: First, as the catalyst to build the emissive brush polymers, and then as a necessary dopant for the resulting OLED arrays.

It's a bit beat up, but my OLED-equipped LG G Watch R is still going strong (and bright) after nearly two years. So it's good news that, after being delayed by glitches, Android Wear 2.0 is rolling out this week to that model, the 2015 LG Watch Urban…

A report in China’s Economic Daily News suggests that technical issues related to the curved OLED production and the 3D sensing system may force Apple to delay the launch of its OLED iPhone. Apple has reportedly decided to adopt a flexible OLED display in its 2017 iPhone 8 (or will it be a >$1000 iPhone X ?) and yesterday it was claimed that Apple placed an order for 70 million such displays from Samsung Display . Interestingly in February 2017 TrendForce said that Apple decided to use a rigid glass-based OLED as it was not happy with production yields and drop-test results of SDC’s flexible OLEDs. Read more about Will Apple be forced to delay the launch of its OLED iPhone due to flexible OLED production issues?
