Samsung Venture Investment Corporation (SVIC), the venture capital arm of the Samsung Group, has invested an undisclosed sum in Novaled AG, a technology and materials provider specializing in high-efficiency, long-lifetime organic LEDs (OLEDs) based in Dresden, Germany.
Novaled’s PIN OLED technology is designed to reduce the energy consumption of OLEDs while enabling longer lifetimes. Its white PIN OLED device structures have demonstrated 60 lm/W efficacy and initial brightness of 1000 cd/m2 using a commercially-available fluorescent blue-emitting material.
Novaled CEO Gildas Sorin has stated that “Once phosphorescent blue emitter materials become real commercial products our technology will allow for a further boost in OLED device efficiencies showing the way to exceed above 100 lm/w and long life time.”
