AsianScientist (Aug. 8, 2017) – The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and TCL Corporation Ltd (TCL) have established a joint research lab. Called the HKU-TCL Joint Laboratory for New Printable OLED Materials and Technology, the lab was officially opened by HKU president and vice-chancellor Professor Peter Mathieson and TCL Chief Executive Officer Mr. Li Dongsheng at a ceremony held on August 2, 2017.
The joint lab aims to foster the collaborative efforts in developing the high performance solution-processable gold(III) complexes that are capable of serving as phosphorescent dopants in the fabrication of OLEDs and to explore their possibilities for preparing printable inks for commercialization.
“The establishment of this HKU-TCL Joint Laboratory is timely. It will not only provide a technology platform for facilitating the collaboration with industries in the Mainland and the Guangdong Province region, for motivating midstream to downstream R&D and commercialization activities, but also in pushing basic research excellence towards translational research activities in an area of high global topical interests that leverage the unique and outstanding strengths in HKU,” said Professor Vivian W W Yam, Director and Chief Scientist of the HKU-TCL Joint Laboratory as well as Philip Wong Wilson Wong Professor in Chemistry and Energy.
“The synergistic partnership is complementary and mutually enhancing, creating a win-win formula for HKU and TCL and the industry in the Greater China. I have each and every confidence that the Joint Laboratory will be a successful one with promising achievements to become a world-leading center in the area of new OLED materials and technology,” added Mathieson.
