Vitex, Novaled ally for OLED thin film encapsulation

USA: Vitex, leader in thin film encapsulation and Novaled, leader in highly efficient long lifetime OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes), are going to combine advantages of the Vitex Barix thin film technology with the Novaled doping technology and materials targeting very thin and high efficiency long lifetime OLED products.

OLED is the major technology for the forthcoming new generation of displays covering applications from the mobile phone to TV. OLED will also introduce a revolution in lighting while allowing innovative design, as well as energy saving when using the high efficient Novaled PIN OLED technology.

The majority of OLEDs are currently processed on glass substrate and encapsulated with glass for protection against air and moisture. The glass represents more than 90 percent of the device thickness. Vitex has developed an innovative thin film encapsulation targeting ultra thin OLED devices.

Thanks to this cooperation between Vitex and Novaled, the market will benefit from very efficient and very thin OLED devices.

"Novaled is famous for its highly efficient OLED technology", says Jack Saltich, Vitex CEO. "Vitex BarixTM thin film encapsulation not only offers superior encapsulation properties but also enables innovative and ultra thin product design that conventional technology can not provide. Together with Novaled we can offer the complete solution for new design form factors and energy savings."

"Novaled holds world records for power efficient OLEDs. Our strategy is to provide complete OLED solutions around our Novaled PIN OLED technology," states Gildas Sorin, Novaled CEO. "The cooperation with Vitex illustrates our company approach. Novaled customers will benefit from the Vitex technology for their advanced design."
