The International Emerging Action "Nouveaux matériaux et dispositifs OLEDs pour une émission efficace dans le proche infrarouge (NoMad)" has been selected by both CNRS Physique and CNRS Chimie and will allow a collaboration to be launched between Anthony D’Aléo (IPCMS) and the Organic Semiconductor Centre in St. Andrews, Scotland, for the synthesis of new NIR emitters, the fabrication and characterisation of the OLEDs.
