The TechBlick event, held virtually on 10–11 April 2024, was curated by TechBlick in partnership with OLED‑Info, and focused on the rapidly evolving landscape of OLED display technology—from advanced materials to production techniques and market dynamics. This event is highly relevant for professionals focused on OLED training and future supervisory roles in R&D or manufacturing because it highlighted how innovations in materials and advanced production methods are shaping the next generation of OLED devices.
The TechBlick “OLEDs: Innovations, Manufacturing, Markets” event delved into several emerging topics directly aligned with Dr. Duarte’s expertise—such as novel materials for OLED efficiency enhancement (e.g. deep‑blue emitters and dopants), and advanced inkjet and patterning methods for micro‑displays. These areas resonate closely with his focus on high-performance molecular emitters and practical device architectures. Participation in or exposure to such insights helps bridge the gap between molecular-level innovation and scale-up manufacturing strategies, offering crucial context for researchers like Dr. Duarte who are designing new chromophores and device structures that must ultimately meet real-world manufacturing and market demands.
