Research Objective: ICT 3 – 2014: TOLAE What are you looking for? TOLAE: An emerging technology, the basis for advanced products in large area electronics that are thin, light weight, flexible and/or stretchable Suitable for large market sectors such as automotive, health, ... The Specific Challenge Address the main technology barriers of TOLAE: Lack of more efficient and stable materials Lack of more complex TOLAE circuitry and functionalities Increase the performance of components and the integration level Improve route to manufacturability (reproducibility, yield) Further develop the TOLAE value chain – become more application-driven Pay attention to recyclability issues

Research Objective: ICT 3 – 2014: TOLAE What are you looking for? ICT3.a Research & Innovation TOLAE technologies and manufacturing processes Focus is on: Conformable / flexible / stretchable substrates Advanced materials and technologies Scalable manufacturing processes Projects must be driven by user requirements with strong industrial and user commitment ICT3.b Innovation Demonstrate innovative products enabled by TOLAE Aim is on building a dedicated innovation value chain, target medium- to high-volume markets Should be driven by concrete business cases and take into account user needs ICT3.c Technology Take-up and Innovation Support Access services to industry  targeting first users and early adopters, in particular SMEs for the wider adoption and deployment of TOLAE technologies in innovative products ICT3.d Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) Innovation through PCP Target is public authorities for procuring textile solutions for health care applications 17 M€ 15.5 M€ 3 M€ 2.5 M€

Research Objective: ICT 29 – 2014: Materials and systems for OLED lighting What are you looking for? Joint LEIT ICT and NMP action 18 M€ ICT29 R&I Actions: Focus is on: Materials, process & device technology for OLED lighting. Aim is to: Realise OLED devices over larger surfaces, with higher brightness, larger uniformity and longer lifetimes. A demonstrator should be provided at the end of every project. Proposals should involve material suppliers, OLED manufacturers or suppliers and OLED system integrators.

Research Objective: ICT 3 & ICT29 – 2014 2. Is this new or has it been called before? Organic and Large Area Electronics have been called in call 7 (objective 3.6) and call 10 (objective 3.3). Manufacturing was part of the FoF call (objective 7.2). New is Pre-Commercial Procurement (3.d). 3. Current project portfolio Relevant projects are SUNFLOWER, X10D (IP projects on OPV), FLEXIBILITY, Flex-O-Fab, ROTROT and TREASORES (on manufacturing) and COLAE (CSA project with OLAE competence centres). 4. What do you NOT want? Proposals on OLED are encouraged to submit under ICT26 -2014 (open system architectures for SSL), ICT28-2015 (pilot line for OLEDs) and ICT29 -2014 (joint LEIT ICT and NMP action on novel materials and systems for OLED lighting) specifically targeted to OLED. Prototype development and demonstration under ICT 3.b is in smart packaging, advertisement or sensing. Lighting and healthcare applications are not included.

Research Objectives: ICT 3 & ICT29 – 2014 5. Who are the leading players? 6. Is there a key group of actors or ETP driving this? Key groups of actors are the technology platform Photonics21, Photonics Public Private Partnership and the OE-A association. Leading players are members of these groups. There are several competence centres on TOLAE in Europe and they are usually a Research and Technology Organizations. 7. Are there any additional / background documents? Strategic Research Agenda of Photonics21, OE-A roadmap The Commission unveiled a set of proposals on 30 November for Horizon 2020, the new framework programme for research and innovation. This forms part of the set of proposals for all of the Union's spending programmes for the period 2014-20. Horizon 2020 is designed to address these challenges through funding excellent science, technology and innovation. It is central to the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, the Innovation Union flagship to create a knowledge society, and the goal to complete the European Research Area as a single market for knowledge. The world has changed dramatically over recent years and Europe is faced with a crisis of public debt, low growth and high unemployment. Smart investments in research and innovation are vital to create jobs and put Europe back on a path to growth. At the same time Europe face major challenges such as ageing populations and the depletion of natural resources. This affects all of our lives directly, for example through high health care costs, rising energy prices, congested roads, and threats to security.
