Attend the SPIE Photonic Devices + Applications symposium covering the technology and applications of organic and photonic materials and devices. Learn how materials are driving the lighting and energy needs of the future.
Conference registration includes access to all Plenary Sessions and 400 papers on organic materials and devices:
Symposium Wide Plenary Speaker:The Solar Decathlon: Building a Better Future with Solar Energy
Sunday 10 August, 6:00 pm to 6:45 pm
 | Richard King
Director, Solar Decathlon, U.S. Dept. of Energy
Mr. King has been with the U.S. Department of Energy since 1986 working primarily in the Solar Energy Technology Program. Recently he has been working in the DOE Buildings Program to work more closely with professional builders to develop cost-effective zero-net energy homes powered by solar energy.

SPIE Solid State Lighting and OLED Plenary Session Plenary Session: Why the Developing World is the Perfect Market Place for SSL
Tuesday 12 August, 8:30 to 9:15 am
 | Dave Irvine-Halliday
University of Calgary, Canada
Nearly 4 billion people in the developing world have the same basic need for safe, healthy and affordable electric lighting. Dr. Dave Irvine-Halliday is a "LUTW University Professor" (Calgary), founded LUTW (1997), and brought SSL to nearly 20,000 homes, schools, clinics in 42 countries.

Use of Heavy Metal Complexes in Solid State Light Sources (OLEDs) Tuesday 12 August, 9:15 to 10:00 am
 | Mark E. Thompson
Univ. of Southern California, USA
There has been a great deal of interest in developing new materials for the fabrication of light emitting diodes (OLEDs). A great deal of progress has been made with broadband, white emissive OLEDs. Dr. Thompson will discuss the chemistry and design of these devices.
