            New Perspectives on Manufacturing, Devices and Applications

				    ABSTRACT

Significant attention has been paid to OLEDs and organic electronics in general
in lighting and displays applications. Much of this has focused on devices for
applications in high information content displays and lighting panels with complex
device structures which demand complex processing. Although there have been very
impressive quality and power efficiency demonstrations, in some case exceeding what
is possible with conventional LCD and fluorescent lighting technologies, the growth
of this technology has been slow. Partly, this comes from a failure to deliver on the
simplification of manufacturing tooling, high manufacturing throughput, and low cost
which organic electronic approaches have promised.  By focusing on enabling very
desirable flexible manufacturing approaches foremost, Add-Vision is taking a unique
approach in the field.  In this talk,  Add-Vision's print-based, flexible OLED
manufacturing process will be described along with the unique device structure
and charge injection-enhancing doping approach that enables that novel, simplified
process. Entry level applications in flexible media, mobile products and lighting
will also be discussed as well as the prospects for this technology to bring about
the needed cost reductions to make OLED solid state lighting an economically viable
reality.

Biography:  
Dr. MacKenzie is currently the Chief Technology officer of Add-Vision, where he 
leads device and process R&D activities as well as technology transfer to AVIs 
partners and licensees.  Devin has been working in research, development and 
commercialization of organic electronics and nanotechnology for over 12 years.  
He has 120 published articles and patents in organic LEDs, photovoltaics, 
polymer transistors, thin film Si, RFID, nanotechnology and III-V optoelectronics.   
He was a research associate and visiting scientist in Prof. Sir Richard Friend's
group at the University of Cambridge, and was a co-founder of Plastic Logic in 
the UK.  He has also founded Kovio's printed Si RFID program.  He received his 
doctorate and masters, degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from the 
University of Florida and did his undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology.
