OTI Lumionics Inc. is a Toronto-based Organic light emitting diode (OLED) manufacturer for novel lighting solutions. OTI has developed breakthrough proprietary technologies to reduce the marginal cost of OLED production, the capital cost of OLED production equipment, and increase performance metrics of OLED devices. They are currently in the process of drastically ramping up their OLED production capacity by moving to an in-line OLED production system, which utilizes a continuous OLED manufacturing process as opposed to a batch-to-batch process. In order to ensure a successful transition to a continuous manufacturing process, it is critical for OTI to gain a deeper understanding of the structure-property relationship between molecular design and thermal and deposition characteristics. Specifically, OTI is interested in understanding the 1) thermal stability and 2) film forming properties of thick films deposited using physical vapour deposition (PVD) for molecules which are uniquely suited for use with OTI's proprietary technologies. This Project will give OTI Lumionics Inc. insights into the choice of molecule derivatives for the development of continuous evaporation manufacturing. This program will provide a unique training program for students that includes valuable skills in specialized molecular engineering, in depth material characterization, and advanced manufacturing skills. Research and development of organic electronics is a field that is currently blossoming in Canada and worldwide. The application knowledge gained from this NSERC CRD research program will not only be beneficial for industry in Ontario, but for all of Canada.

OTI Lumionics Inc. 是一家总部位于多伦多的有机发光二极管 (OLED) 制造商，致力于提供新颖的照明解决方案。 OTI 开发了突破性的专有技术，以降低 OLED 生产的边际成本、OLED 生产设备的资本成本，并提高 OLED 设备的性能指标。他们目前正在通过转向在线 OLED 生产系统来大幅提高 OLED 产能，该系统采用连续 OLED 制造工艺，而不是批量工艺。为了确保成功过渡到连续制造工艺，OTI 更深入地了解分子设计与热和沉积特性之间的结构-性能关系至关重要。具体来说，OTI 有兴趣了解使用物理气相沉积 (PVD) 分子沉积的厚膜的 1) 热稳定性和 2) 成膜特性，这些分子特别适合与 OTI 专有技术一起使用。该项目将使 OTI Lumionics Inc. 深入了解用于开发连续蒸发制造的分子衍生物的选择。该项目将为学生提供独特的培训项目，包括专业分子工程、深入材料表征和先进制造技能方面的宝贵技能。有机电子学的研究和开发是目前在加拿大和世界范围内蓬勃发展的领域。从 NSERC CRD 研究项目中获得的应用知识不仅有利于安大略省的工业，而且有利于整个加拿大。
