Morphotonics B.V.

Responsible for:

  • Objective 1.1. Engineering of metasurface frontplanes

Morphotonics is an Original Equipment Manufacturer of nanoimprint equipment and consumables. Its technology enables the production of large-area plates or multiple devices in each single production run at the customer. Through its unique R2P NIL technology, micro- and nanostructures can be applied on very large areas in high volume at an unparalleled low cost. The Morphotonics large-area R2P NIL technology is capable of imprinting areas beyond 1 square meter. This is considered very large size in the nanoimprint business. This way, displays, solar panels, lighting panels and other products can benefit from nanoimprinted structures.

TNO (Nederlandse Organisatievoor Toegepast Natuurwetenschap pelijk Onderzoek )

Responsible for:

  • Objective 1.2. Design of backplane technology and integration route

TNO is an independent applied research institution with a staff of ~4500 people and an annual turnover exceeding €500M€. TNO maintains close contacts with universities and basic research institutions in order to translate up-to- date knowledge and insights into practical applications. Clients include government, large companies, and SMEs. TNO will contribute to this project via its Business Unit Holst Centre. TNO/Holst Centre is an independent open- innovation R&D center that amongst others develops generic technologies for Flexible Electronics. It focuses on key enabling technologies to realize complex functional electronic devices on thin plastic foils. These technologies for example include printing, assembly, and all kinds of patterning technologies. Located on High Tech Campus Eindhoven, Holst Centre benefits from the state-of-the-art on- site facilities. It also has its own facilities, primarily for roll-to-roll manufacturing (printing, assembly). Holst Centre has over 180 employees from 28 nationalities and a commitment from close to 40 industrial partners. TNO also participated in ATTRACT Phase 1 in two projects (LaGEMPix and ESSENCE) contributing with their TFT backplane expertise.
