Focus 2017: Technology scale up

Roll-to-roll processing of flexible materials by using wet chemical and vacuum coating technologies is a high growth industry with a wide variety of important industrial products like packaging films, solar control window films, batteries, capacitors, touch-screens, flexible lighting sources, RFIDs, anti-counterfeiting labels, solar cells, and future flexible displays.

A colorful workshop program on current issues in research and practice for the refinement of flexible substrates awaits you.

Project "CeGlaFlex" started

Only twice as thick as a strand of hair, or around 100 µm: that’s how thin the transparent, scratchproof and malleable ceramic layers of the future that are meant to protect portable electronics are. Since March 2017, the methods and process chains for producing this material have been in development in the three-year research project called CeGlaFlex.

OLED microdisplays as high-precision optical fingerprint sensors

Fraunhofer FEP presents a high-resolution fingerprint-sensor at SID Display Week 2017, from May 23-25 2017 in Los Angeles/USA at the German Pavilion, booth no. 623.

New process for combating germs: tailored antimicrobial coatings for surfaces

The Fraunhofer FEP is one of the leading institutions for collaborative research and development in thin-film technologies and electron-beam applications. The developed technologies are being effectively successfully employed in the fight against germs.

KONFEKT – Ultra-thin glass on roll for flexible electronics

With support from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), technology development partners Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP, SCHOTT AG, VON ARDENNE GmbH and tesa SE have been developing new applications for ultra-thin glass on roll since 2013 in the research consortium KONFEKT (funding project 13N13818). The partners are planning to introduce the first results together at an international technology and networking event, VISION | Flexible Glass, April 4-5, at Fraunhofer FEP in Dresden, Germany.
