The flexolighting programme is focussed on research and innovations on materials, processes and device technology for OLED lighting with the intention of building a supply chain within Europe. The aim is to realise OLED devices over a large area/surface with high brightness, high uniformity and long life time. A demonstrator will be built and delivered at the end of the project. The main targets are (i). Cost of the lighting panels should be less than Euro 1 per 100 lumens. (II). high luminous efficiency, in excess of 100 lm/W with improved out-coupling efficiency. (ii). white light life-time of at least 1000 hours at 97% of the original luminance of 5000 cdm-2.(iii). The materials and the devices therefrom will allow for differential aging of the colours, thus maintaining the same colour co-ordinates and CRI over its use. (iv). Attention will be paid to recyclability and environmental impact of the materials and the OLED lighting systems. Flexolighting project will also ensure European industrial leadership in lighting. The introduction of OLED Lighting technology is held back by the current cost of the systems, life-time and poor uniformity of luminance on large area panels. The programme aims to combine existing state of the art OLED materials technology (Thermally activated fluorescent materials (TADF) and phosphorescent emitters and world class transport materials) with new developments in processing technologies (Organic Vapour Phase Deposition (OVPD) and printing technologies) to develop new next of generation low cost OLED lighting systems to move forward to scale up and full scale production on novel planarized flexible steel substrates with cost effective conformal encapsulation method. The transparent top contacts made of thin metallic films, conducting polymers or graphene monolayer with metal tracks to reduce the series resistance will be employed in inverted top emitting OLED structures to deliver 100 lumens per Euro.

Novalia have developed a unique, patented approach to manufacuring very low-cost X/Y capacitive touchpads as interfaces to electronic products. The innovation uses significantly less energy, lower-cost materials with far lower environment impact than current technologies. The Arion project is a feasibility study on how to expand commercial opportunity for Novalia's X/Y technology with product developers & expand production capability in the US & Canada. With many key design/development organisations & brands located in the US & Canada, Arion focuses on these particular countries to engage with some of the worlds most prolific electronic product designers to explore & develop commercial opportunity for Novalia's low-cost touch interface technology. The project will support direct contact with potential key customers/suppliers & collate information that will allow Novalia to prepare a deliverable plan to expand commercial opportunity for the technology with product developers in these regions.This feasibility study will enable Novalia to engage with and build a preliminary pipeline of potential customers. Arion will identify & engage with flexographic printers to expand international production capacity. The project will enable the preparation of supporting documentation to serve as an introduction to Novalia & our technology and to prepare physical printed samples as well as working demonstrators. Arion will facilitate face-to-face meetings with key potential customers & suppliers & will time the team's travel to coincide with CES in January 2022 to enable meeting as many further potential clients during the three day conference. The Arion feasiblity study will deliver a solid understanding of some of the dynamics in manufacturing & supplying sensors to potential customers, deliver a SWOT analysis as well as identifying resources needed and prospects for success in this approach.

This proposal describes the third core project of the Graphene Flagship. It forms the fourth phase of the FET flagship and is characterized by a continued transition towards higher technology readiness levels, without jeopardizing our strong commitment to fundamental research. Compared to the second core project, this phase includes a substantial increase in the market-motivated technological spearhead projects, which account for about 30% of the overall budget. The broader fundamental and applied research themes are pursued by 15 work packages and supported by four work packages on innovation, industrialization, dissemination and management. The consortium that is involved in this project includes over 150 academic and industrial partners in over 20 European countries.

The 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL) project will establish a European ecosystem for prototype production of Graphene and Related Materials (GRM) based electronics, photonics and sensors. The project will cover the whole value chain including tool manufacturers, chemical and material providers and pilot lines to offer prototyping services to companies, research centers and academics. The 2D-EPL targets to the adoption of GRM integration by commercial semiconductor foundries and integrated device manufacturers through technology transfer and licensing. The project is built on two pillars. In Pillar 1, the 2D-EPL will offer prototyping services for 150 and 200 mm wafers, based on the current state of the art graphene device manufacturing and integration techniques. This will ensure external users and customers are served by the 2D-EPL early in the project and guarantees the inclusion of their input in the development of the final processes by providing the specifications on required device layouts, materials and device performances. In Pillar 2, the consortium will develop a fully automated process flow on 200 and 300 mm wafers, including the growth and vacuum transfer of single crystalline graphene and TMDCs. The knowledge gained in Pillar 2 will be transferred to Pillar 1 to continuously improve the baseline process provided by the 2D-EPL. To ensure sustainability of the 2D-EPL service after the project duration, integration with EUROPRACTICE consortium will be prepared. It provides for the European actors a platform to develop smart integrated systems, from advanced prototype design to small volume production. In addition, for the efficiency of the industrial exploitation, an Industrial Advisory Board consisting mainly of leading European semiconductor manufacturers and foundries will closely track and advise the progress of the 2D-EPL. This approach will enable European players to take the lead in this emerging field of technology.

400170 Power Poster – Public Project Description The Power Poster project combines novel interactive printed and online tools to give feedback to users on real-time electricity use in a simple and engaging manner. It converts this energy data and human emotional data into clear, simple and beautiful designs. The issue of feedback to users of buildings is a persistent challenge. Buildings typically perform significantly below their efficiency design standards in part because users get no feed back in real-time or in a form that engages them and encourages them to want to do better. Until this issue is effectively addressed, we will as a society, continue to struggle with maximising the energy and resource efficiency of buildings, whether these are new or refurbished. The printed and online tools will result in the development of technologies and techniques that encourage people to care about their building's energy use through emotional rewards. This will be achieved by providing visual feedback loops in real-time, enabling building users to appreciate the impact of their behaviour and present this information in a form that makes users want to adopt energy efficient behaviour. This user-centred approach is a novel and low-tech solution to a significant challenge for UK industry, government and the environment. The project will develop and refine online and printed products that will be used and assessed in school and office settings. Novalia has developed a proprietary printed platform technology ideally suited to the needs of this project. The technology enables the creation of interactive posters that have touch sensitive ink linked to a low cost environmentally friendly power supply, sound device and micro-controller. Novalia is developing a low-cost method of manufacturing its technology with partners. The project will develop an product that uses combines Novalia’s technology with live energy use capture technology to create a platform that enables the visualisation of real-time electricity use at a range of locations and scales (eg school, office and home) and provides users with direct feedback on their energy use in a clear and simple fashion. The project will combine these technologies & ideas, and create new knowledge about energy & resource saving technologies & behaviours that can be replicated throughout the built environment in both the non-domestic and domestic sectors. BRE, Reading University & the Halcrow research partnership will develop a model that provides energy use feedback in accessible ways. Using the data on electricity & emotional/sensory inputs from building users Power Poster devices, printed or online, will change appearance, so users can see whether they are positive or negative, with immediate and/or trend energy & resource use. This gives an indication of the emotional investment of building users. Project outputs will be the specification of innovative products that can be commercialised. Power Posters will increase knowledge of how human behaviours may be engaged to save energy & reduce energy costs/carbon emissions of non-domestic buildings. Novalia will create an interactive printed platform to increase user awareness and encourage energy efficient use through modified behaviours. The products will create site-specific visualisation tools, which display energy use data in visual, non-technical forms that do not rely on words and numbers to communicate effectively. BRE, Reading University and Halcrow will apply the ideas into a number of live case studies in a variety of sectors, including a retrofit to Halcrow’s new Head Office. The simplicity, dynamism and fun elements of the Power Poster product are fundamental to the project. From the existing knowledge of the partners and subsequent online research, the printed, online and consultancy products we envisage will differ from anything currently available globally. A significant number of the population have difficulties with literacy and numeracy so it is likely that technical terms and units in real-time feedback systems will not be effective. This is perhaps re-enforced by the relatively slow take up of smart meters. These factors suggest the potential for a very large market for Power Poster's visualisations, which distill and simplify complex real-time energy information into playful, dynamic and engaging graphics.
