Bislang leiden die Fertigungsprozesse fuer OLEDs noch unter Kinderkrankheiten, was die Herstellung groesserer OLED-Bildschirme und Beleuchtungssysteme weiterhin massiv erschwert. An dieser Stelle setzt das vom Bundesministerium fuer Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefoerderte Verbundprojekt NEMO (Neue Materialien fuer OLEDs aus Loesung) an.
