ICSM 2024
Last week members of the OSO group attended the 26th International Conference on Science and Technology of Synthetic Electric Materials (ICSM) in Dresden, Germany. The week was filled with a variety of engaging talks and it was very interesting to see the research that has been conducted by our colleagues.
Throughout the conference, members of the OSO had the opportunity to present their work. Monday featured an invited talk from Prof Ifor Samuel ‘OLEDs with Record Light Output and an Electrically Driven Polymer Laser‘. Additionally on Monday, Dr Arvydas Ruseckas and Dr Hassan Hafeez presented their respective talks ‘Generation of free charges via aggregated states of acceptor molecules in Y6-based solar cells‘ and ‘Developing Efficient Blue OLEDs with Novel MR-TADF Emitters through a Systematic Investigation of the Host-Guest Interactions‘. At the evening poster session Eglė Tankelevičiūtė presented her work ‘The trade-off between efficiency and stability: a case for blue TADF OLEDs‘.
On Thursday Prof Ifor Samuel spoke as part of a meet the editors panel for the journal Synthetic Metals, and Thomas Sayner presented his talk ‘Efficiency roll off in hyperfluorescent OLEDS’. At the evening poster session, a poster by Dr Marianna Leite de Avellar ‘Red organic light emitting diodes kill bacteria by photodynamic therapy‘ was presented by Dr Hassan Hafeez.
Thursday, the last full day of the conference, featured another three talks from OSC members. In the morning, Dr Junyi Gong presented his work ‘OLED-illuminated holographic display‘. In the afternoon, Liam King and Dr Arvydas Ruseckas gave the respective talks ‘Frequency-domain luminescence: a new way to study operating OLEDs’ and ‘Measuring singlet-triplet and triplet-triplet annihilation in TADF emitters to explore processes responsible for the efficiency roll-off in OLEDs‘.
