$1.2M DOE Grant Award to Professors Rothberg, Chen & Tang

March 2010. It is our great pleasure to announce a $1.2 million, 3-year grant from the Department of Energy for Professors Lewis Rothberg, Shaw Chen,and Ching Tang. The collaborating principal investigators and their graduate students will be working on the development and utilization of hybrid host materials for white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). With the combination of their expertise and skills in advanced organic materials, photo-physics and chemistry, and OLED device science and engineering, significant advances can be anticipated in device efficiency and lifetime over the state of the art. We wish them the best of luck in this joint endeavor.
