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.是多伦多的有机光二极管（OLED）制造商，用于新型照明解决方案。 OTI开发了突破性专有技术，以降低OLED生产的边际成本，OLED生产设备的资本成本以及增加OLED设备的性能指标。他们目前正在通过转向在线OLED生产系统来大大提高OLED生产能力，该系统利用了连续的OLED制造过程，而不是批处理工艺。为了确保成功过渡到连续的制造过程，对于OTI，至关重要的是，对分子设计与热和沉积特征之间的结构 - 培训关系有更深入的了解。具体而言，OTI有兴趣理解1）热稳定性和2）使用物理蒸气沉积（PVD）沉积的厚膜的膜特性，用于分子，这些分子非常适合与OTI专有技术一起使用。该项目将使OTI Lumionics Inc.洞察分子衍生物的选择，以开发连续蒸发制造。该计划将为学生提供独特的培训计划，其中包括专业分子工程，深度材料表征和高级制造技能的宝贵技能。有机电子产品的研发是一个目前在加拿大和全球开发的领域。从该NSERC CRD研究计划中获得的应用知识不仅对安大略省的行业有益，而且对整个加拿大都有益。
