Visions in colour and light

A new dynamic company
in organic semiconductor materials

Covion - Organic semiconductor material solutions for the electronics market.
Find out about the Covion team, or find out about our state of the art facilities.

Covion has been created as a joint venture formed between two global chemical companies, Aventis Research & Technologies (a member of the Hoechst Group) and Avecia (formerly Zeneca Specialties). Our business is to provide organic semiconductor materials solutions for the displays, electronics, and opto-electronics industries.  Our state of the art facilities allow top level research and production of organic semiconducting materials.

Covion aims to become the leading supplier for high performance organic semiconductor materials - through commitment to technological excellence and service to our customers.

Today, Covion is focused on the design, development, manufacture, and marketing of high quality light emitting organic materials for the organic light emitting display (OLED) industry.

Covion already offers a range of high performance small molecule and polymer materials for OLED applications. Our outstanding product features include:

Color breadth
Exceptional efficiencies (higher than 20 lm/Watt)
Extended Service lifetimes

Using OLED display technology, new forms of displays are now within reach.

Organic light emissive technology offers display vendors important features and benefits:

Design:

Simple architecture high productivity, low production cost
No backlight, polarisers, alignment layers, or color filters low weight, ultrathin profile
Few & thin active layers low weight

View:

Direct light emission high brightness at wide viewing angle
Fast response time Video rate and low flutter
Efficient active deposition, directe cathode patterning high display brightness, color, and resolution

Operation:

Low voltage, low power and high efficiency improved portability

Flexibility:

Single glass substrate large area displays
Plastic substrates novel display shapes possible

Covion operates at the leading edge of this technology by developing and supplying state of the art materials.

Mobile phones, car dashboards, computers, these are only some products which feature display screens. The number of applications is rapidly increasing. Applications are becoming more and more demanding. In many cases, the traditional liquid crystalline display (LCD) cannot meet all requirements and increasingly display manufacturers are turning to OLED technology for its unique benefits:

High Performance - color, efficiency and lifetime
Simple Fabrication - solubility, viscosity and adhesion
Low Cost - economic processes and materials consumption

For the future,Covion is carrying out research and collaborates with customers on a range of organic semiconductor materials for other advanced applications:

electronic circuitry
photovoltaics
image recognition
large area signs
advanced lighting
lasers and optical data storage
