Session I: State of the Industry- OLEDs, Phosphors, and Quantum Dots
Keynote: Enduser
Quantum Dots: Making the quantum leap from displays to the markets of the future
In this keynote address, we will explore the dynamic growth trajectory of quantum dot (QD) technology in the display industry. MiniLED technology is emerging as a significant catalyst, poised to surpass OLED in the television market and making substantial inroads into the automotive sector. As the ongoing competition between LCD and OLED displays intensifies, how will emissive QD displays fit into the display story? Beyond displays, quantum dots are set to revolutionize various other sectors. We'll highlight emerging markets for QD applications such as agriculture, solar energy, and pigments, demonstrating the unique value QDs bring to each market. This discussion will offer a preview of the insights and innovations that speakers throughout the event will expand upon. Finally, we will discuss how the newly scaled-up QD production capabilities enable broader adoption of QD technology. Nanosys' parent company, Shoei Chemical, is akin to the TSMC of the QD industry, offering large-scale foundry manufacturing for partners with novel QD designs and delivering innovative solutions for new QD markets. We will highlight our new fabrication facility in Itoshima, Japan, featuring state-of-the-art, thousands-of-liter reactors, underscoring our commitment to meeting growing demand and fostering innovation for both internal development and external partnerships. Join us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the present and future landscape of QD technology, from display advancements to groundbreaking applications across diverse industries.

Modeling properties of OLED materials
To further improve the efficiency and life-time of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), ultimately the properties of underlying materials need to be tweaked at the molecular level. In materials science molecular modeling has become a more wide-spread tool integrated with experiments for a holistic research & development approach. Important properties for OLEDs can be predicted with advanced quantum chemistry methods. We will discuss how to model charge mobility, exciton mobility, phosphorescence lifetimes, TADF & spectra. We will also discuss future developments to further improve accuracy and access to other properties such as exciton-polaron quenching and triplet-triplet annihilation

Session IV: Industry
UDC: Illuminating the Energy-Efficient OLED Landscape
As the consumer electronics sector continues to expand, and IoT, 5G, and AI technologies advance and proliferate, energy efficiency in OLED displays has increasingly taken center stage. In this presentation, we will delve into UDC’s pioneering contributions to the innovation, development, and commercialization of phosphorescent OLED materials and technologies for energy-efficient display and lighting applications. We will explore how UDC’s advancements can bolster and broaden the ongoing adoption of OLEDs across the consumer electronics domain, encompassing devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, laptops, computer monitors, TVs, automotive displays, lighting applications, and beyond. UDC is committed to being a key enabler in the OLED ecosystem, leveraging our extensive experience, proprietary technologies, and energy-efficient phosphorescent material systems to support our customers and the industry’s growth. We will also outline our innovation roadmap for display efficiency, emphasizing ultra-low power consumption. Our significant enhancements in efficiency and performance are poised to enable new product applications for OLED technology, thereby expanding the market. Beyond displays, we will also discuss how OLEDs serve as an excellent light source for red light therapy, a rapidly growing field in the treatment of a wide range of health conditions.

Digital Chemistry and Collaborative Tools for Transforming OLED Innovation
The digital chemistry platform revolutionizes the development of next-generation OLED materials. This presentation will illustrate the impact that physics-based and machine learning (ML) approaches have in driving innovation in OLED materials and formulations. We also present Schrödinger’s collaboration tool, LiveDesign, as a dynamic and adaptable cloud-native working environment. Its goal is to democratize digital design processes, making them accessible across R&D teams. Attendees will gain insight into how this centralized platform ensures seamless access to project data, fostering collaboration and enhancing the overall efficiency of the OLED materials design and development process within a unified interface.

OLED Materials Development: The Next Dimensions
Traditional OLED materials development strives to find new molecular structures improving the three fundamental parameters of stack performance: Efficiency, Voltage and Lifetime. We call it the “Master Triangle”. While the fundamental parameters remain very important, new dimensions of development have evolved. Deuteration can have tremendous benefits for device lifetime without trade-offs in efficiency or voltage. Display artifacts like pixel crosstalk or transient phenomena linked to stack capacitance can only be tackled by a more holistic view on materials development. In addition, advanced computer modeling opens new doors to property prediction, and sustainability has become a strong driver, even in early stages of development. This situation adds complexity but, if well handled, it also offers tremendous opportunities for OLED materials, and thus OLED panels, to move to the next level. Intelligent engineering of OLED materials will broaden the footprint of OLED display in mobile and IT devices that continue to improve and face more challenging operating conditions, e.g. higher brightness for outdoor readability or stricter capacitance requirements due to higher refresh rates in modern displays
