Company Visits/Tours
Tour A: TU Dresden & Heliatek | Monday April 6
|
|
We will be hosting a tour to TU Dresden/Heliatek as part of the Photovoltaics master class. The tour will depart the International Conference Center at 12.00noon. Lunch will be included in the tour and delegates will be returned in time for the Photovoltaics master class at 2.30pm. PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY 30 DELEGATES CAN ATTEND THIS TOUR. About IAPP The "Institut f|r Angewandte Photophysik", short IAPP, is one of the world-wide leading institutes in the field of organic opto-electronics. From basic research to electronic devices like organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells (OSOLs), it covers a wide range of research focusing on organic semiconductors based on small molecules. The tour of the Institut f|r Angewandte Photophysik (IAPP) will involve a short presentation of its current research activities and a visit to some laboratories. You will see where solar cells are being produced under high vacuum in a cluster tool. Our devices are based on a p-i-n structure, i.e. the intrinsic photovoltaic active layer is sandwiched between a p-type and n-type doped organic wide-gap layer used as hole-transport and electron-transport layer, respectively. The production facility allows in-situ electrical and optical measurements. Further solar cell characterisation methods will be presented and discussed. About Heliatek Heliatek GmbH was founded in 2006 by Dr. Martin Pfeiffer, Prof. Dr. Karl Leo and Dr. Bert Mannig of the Institut fur Angewandte Photophysik (IAPP), University Dresden, by Prof. Dr. Peter Bauerle of the Abteilung Organische Chemie II, University of Ulm, Jens Drechsel, CreaPhys GmbH and Dr. h.c Harald Eggers. The company relies on more than 15 years experience in the development and characterisation of organic materials and organic devices. Heliatek has got a seed-investment of 500 000 euro from the High-Tech Grunderfonds and 100 000 euro from Dr. h.c. Harald Eggers. |
Tour B: Novaled | Thursday April 9
Proceeding the Materials masterclass we will be hosting a tour to Novaled's offices in Dresden commencing at 12.30pm. The tour will start with a presentation on Novaled, doping technology, OLED and OE market and include lunch. There will be guided tour of their chemistry department and sublimation, clean room area and physics department. Delegates will then return by coach to the Dresden International conference center for the Materials Master class. PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY 30 DELEGATES CAN ATTEND THIS TOUR.
About the Tour
Novaled offers technology and materials to OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) and OE
(Organic Electronics) manufacturer. At the guided tour our visitors can
discover the 'Novaled Gold' and how we create unique doping and host materials for leading high tech products in the field of OLED and OE. Attendees will explore the manufacturing process of small molecule OLEDs having a look into the clean room. In the Physics Department visitors will understand the making of OLEDs and why our doping technology achieves world records in power efficiency and lifetime. Finally, guests are invited to experience real OLED samples in operation and to see the potential of theses devices for visionary products in the lighting and display.
