Polymer Vision

• Netherlands
• Semiconductor Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Technology R&D Manager

  • Mar 2011 - May 2012

  Responsible for managing the Technology R&D team, consisting of about 17 highly educated people. Core activities of the team are improving the active matrix technology, integration of this technology into working rollable displays and development of this into feasible processes for mass production. Also the introduction of new display effects is a responsibility of the team.

• Senior Scientist

  • Dec 2006 - Mar 2011

  Polymer Vision is a start-up company developing “rollable” displays. Within the processing R&D department I managed multidisciplinary project teams of up to ~3 FTE to introduce either new functionalities or alternative display effects for rollable displays. The latter is done in close collaboration with a number of international research partners.Translation of the R&D results to our small volume production (and trouble shooting) is an important aspect of my work.Achievements:- Introduced an industrializable process for color into a rollable display that up to now was B&W. - Demonstrated a high resolution rollable display.



Philips

• Netherlands
• Hospitals and Health Care
• 700 & Above Employee

• Senior Scientist (rollable displays)

  • Jan 2003 - Dec 2006

  Materials scientist in a research project to commercialize the polymer electronics know-how of Philips in a unique product: rollable displays. Besides adjusting the research processes and materials to viable manufacturing ones, I have set-up relationships and coordinated development projects with a number of external suppliers.Achievements: - Adapted existing research process to (environmental) demands for industrialization. - Developed a bond – de-bond process to enable IC-type processing on 25µm polymer films.- Introduced an alternative polymer base film compatible with processing demands.

• Senior Scientist (polymer electronics)

  • 2001 - 2003

  Development of a simple and elegant process to structure a conductive polymer. The process has been used to make metal-insulator-metal stacks and thin-film transistors. Functional discrete thin film transistors and organic integrated circuits have been characterized.Achievements:- Demonstrated fully organic discrete thin film transistors and integrated circuits.- Demonstrated fully organic ferroelectric thin film transistors.

• Scientist (photochemistry / photopolymerization)

  • 1991 - 2001

  Worked on the use of so-called photopolymers in applications like replication of optical structures, photo-induced phase separation, elastomeric lacquers for powder blasting, color lacquers for LCD’s, protective coatings for CRT’s. Also photo degradation of plastic optical fibers was studied.

• Research assistant (surface analysis using FT-IRRAS)

  • 1989 - 1991

  Characterization of chemisorbed mono-molecular layers using vibrational spectroscopy.During this period I co-authored 9 scientific papers and 3 patents.

• Research assistant (chemical surface modification)

  • 1985 - 1989

  Changing surface properties of materials, like adhesion, release and corrosion, without changing bulk properties. This approach has been used to e.g. improve the lifetime of AlGaAs lasers and to make complicated optical structures with liquid crystalline acrylates using photo-replication.
