FunctionaL Inorganic layers for Next Generation Optical devices - FLINGO

Project summary

FLINGO brings together leading representatives from academia, SMEs and industry to explore & develop various surface and coating technologies (Sol-Gel, ALD, spray pyrolysis) for LED applications. Highly transparent conductive layers for electrical contacts, inorganic matrix materials for extending the operating range of optical converters and ultrathin, chemically stable passivation layers for electrical insulation & barrier properties are key technologies enabling future optoelectronic devices. A number of promising new nanomaterials (e.g. QDs, nanorod-LEDs) are currently limited for mass production by either process constraints and operating lifetime instability. Combining such technologies with compatible coating technologies would enable these materials to be used in LED products and to extend their operating range. FLINGO aims to develop novel processes and materials for conformal deposition meeting extreme requirements in e.g. 3D LEDs & thus being compatible with mass production.
