The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.

Developing innovative technology solutions and bringing them to application - that is our goal at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. With our expertise in the development of photonic microsystems, related technologies including nanoelectronics and wireless communication solutions, we create - in flexible and interdisciplinary teams - technologies for innovative products in a wide range of markets such as automotive, industrial and aerospace.

Our interdisciplinary department "Microdisplays and Sensors" deals with the development and fabrication of microdisplays and sensors based on the integration of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) or organic sensors on CMOS substrates. Our field of activity ranges from the first idea, to the conception in close interaction with the OLED technology, the circuit design, the OLED integration, the test, the electronic packaging to the development of the complete system and the application. In doing so, we move in the area of tension between different subjects such as electrical engineering/electronics, microelectronics, microsystems technology, information technology, computer science as well as physics, optics and manufacturing technology.
