Polish OLED technology company, Noctiluca, recently announced a partnership with a subsidiary of “one of the world’s largest TV manufacturers based in China.” This joint development agreement (JDA) is a big step forward for the company, focusing on using its proprietary electron injection layer (EIL) material in the partner’s OLED products. The announcement also comes on the heels of Noctiluca’s debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
OLED displays are built from multiple layers, each playing a key role in turning electricity into light. At the center of this process is the emissive layer, where light is created. But for everything to work efficiently, supporting materials are just as important. That’s where Noctiluca’s EIL comes in. This layer helps electrons flow into the emissive layer more effectively, cutting down on the energy needed to power the display. The result is OLEDs that consume less energy and last significantly longer.
One of the toughest challenges in OLED technology has been improving blue light emitters, which are essential for creating the full range of colors in displays. Blue pixels tend to degrade faster than red or green ones, which shortens the lifespan of the display. Noctiluca has tackled this issue in a unique way. Instead of reinventing the blue emitter itself, the company developed materials like the EIL that enhance blue light performance indirectly. This strategy boosts the durability and efficiency of blue pixels while making it easier for manufacturers to adopt the solution without overhauling their production processes.
Noctiluca’s materials are also designed to work with advanced manufacturing techniques like physical vapor deposition (PVD) and ink-jet printing (IJP).
