Pixelligent Technologies announced the release of a joint whitepaper with Fraunhofer ISC and Osram Semiconductor. The white paper demonstrates the efficiency impacts achieved by combining Pixelligent’s PixClear high-index inks with Fraunhofer’s ORMOCER inorganic-organic hybrid polymer matrix that are suitable for numerous optoelectronic applications.
“This joint development effort has produced best-in-class high-index films capable of delivering never before seen light extraction and operating efficiencies. The initial target applications include OLED, display, solid state lighting, ITO index matching, and the potential for tuning dielectric properties of thin films for numerous optoelectric applications,” said Dr. Serpil Gonen Williams, VP product development of Pixelligent.
The approach to use high-index ORMOCER matrix materials for the synthesis of composites together with stable and monodispersed ZrO2 nanocrystals yields several advantages over conventional composites using epoxy and silicone materials. The refractive index of mixed solutions and cured thin-films were increased by up to 14% for the low refractive index, aromatic-free ORMOCER, and 9% for the high refractive index, aromatic ORMOCER respectively, and transparent, clear composite films were obtained after curing.
