The way CYNORA GmbH has gone from university start-up to an international player in the OLED industry is described in the Süddeutsche Zeitung in its special edition “Finance for Medium-Sized Enterprises” on Sept. 3, 2015. The article describes the applications, technological barriers and the very promising future of the OLED technology “made in Karlsruhe.”
CYNORA has evolved since its founding in 2008 into the market and technology leader in Iridium-free emitter systems for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). As an independent provider holding numerous patents, CYNORA adds to a brightly-lit future with customized optoelectronic solutions.
“For the OLED technology you need interdisciplinary collaboration between chemists, physicists and electrical engineers,” said Dr. Tobias Grab, CEO of CYNORA GmbH. Can LEDs and solar cells be printed as films similar to newspapers? “Yes it works, and that is technically much less complex and therefore much cheaper - but the lifetime, among other properties, must be improved,” said Grab.
Süddeutsche Zeitung: “The Southern German company holds more than 250 patents and patent applications on its materials and special OLED processes. And now, in the “phase three development” as Grab puts it, it is more about cooperation with major manufacturers around the world - for example, Samsung and LG in Korea - who are interested in the special Baden-Württemberg’s know-how when it comes to OLEDs.”
