Technological breakthrough for cheaper lighting and flexible solar cells

(Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA)) In more than three years of work European scientists finally made future lighting technology ready to market. They developed flexible lighting foils that can be produced roll-to-roll -- much like newspapers are printed. These devices pave the path towards cheaper solar cells and LED lighting panels. The project named TREASORES was lead by Empa scientist Frank Nüesch and combined know-how from nine companies and six researc...
