Technology Innovation in Germany 2011 "Future Award" Announced

December 14, German President Wulff himself in Berlin, Germany, awarded the 2011 Technology Innovation "Future Award" from Dresden's "organic electronics - more light and energy from thin molecular layer" project award-winning research team and share € 250,000 in prize money.
 
Organic electronics refers to organic or inorganic materials, electronic devices made ​​of flexible plastic or thin metal at the substrate emerging electronic technology, its very broad application prospects, such as OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays and organic lighting, using roll to roll printing technology thin-film transistor, to the surface in a variety of materials, "printed" organic solar cells.
 
The award-winning researchers and their team is in this context to obtain a breakthrough. Them through some relatively simple chemical structure of organic matter to produce the different characteristics of the transistors, light emitting diodes or solar cells, the size is almost like a free flexible and transparent film. To this end the researchers created the first in Dresden can be simple, fast, cheap roll to roll production of OLED production facilities, and successfully applied to the OLED material in different products, created so far can not imagine the lighting and optical innovation application of foundation.
 
Awards ceremony, also praised Wulff also received "Future Award" nomination of the other two projects, one is the Mercedes-Benz quickly sense the environment 6D Vision intelligent driver assistance systems, the other is the Freiburg researchers can be fully developed the use of sunlight three solar cell stack.
 
German "Future Award" to reward technology, engineering and natural sciences innovation, award-winning project not only has a high content of technological innovation, but also have high value and economic value, usually issued by the German President himself .
