2023 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Dynamic, high impact micro-optic security films using automated, high precision alignment between micro-lenses and micro-images

1 Aug 2023 to 31 Oct 2024

Awarded
£117,902
Total cost £235,803

It is estimated that about 7% of world trade (or $1.2Trillion in value terms) is that of counterfeit goods. As per the WHO, very large quantities of fake medicines are in circulation globally. One way to deal with the issue of fake medicines could be to use "overt" labels with "easy to recognise but impossible to copy" visual effects which are very obviou...

Embedded Micro-optic Security Features for Pharma and Other Applications

1 Dec 2021 to 31 Jan 2022

Awarded
£48,368
Total cost £48,368

As per the WHO report it is estimated that 10 to 15% of the world's drug supply is counterfeit and in 2017, 25.0 million illicit and counterfeit drugs were seized by Interpol. Illicit supply of counterfeit medical items specially during a public health crisis can be catastrophic. Healthcare authorities worldwide have therefore developed regulations to cou...

2021 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

ULTRA-FINE PATTERN LIGHT EXTRACTION FILMS FOR DIFFUSERLESS LEDPANELS

1 May 2021 to 31 Jul 2022

Awarded
£182,388
Total cost £260,554

Optrical has developed a new concept for making more efficient LED light panels at lower cost. The side-lit LED panels use one or two LED strips, a sheet of transparent acrylic (PMMA) that is patterned for the extraction of light (called a lightguide), a reflector and a diffuser. The patterning of the lightguide allows extraction of light from the pool of...

Embedded Micro-optic Security Features for Pharma and Other Applications

1 Apr 2021 to 30 Sep 2022

Awarded
£225,470
Total cost £322,100

As per the WHO report it is estimated that 10 to 15% of the world's drug supply is counterfeit and in 2017, 25million illicit and counterfeit drugs were seized by Interpol. Illicit supply of counterfeit medical items specially during a public health crisis can be catastrophic. Healthcare authorities worldwide have therefore developed regulations to counte...

Development of Light Extraction Film and a Single Sandwich Lightguide

1 Dec 2018 to 30 Nov 2019

Awarded
£175,420
Total cost £250,600

"Optrical has developed a new concept for making an LED light panel, which leads to more efficient lighting at lower costs. For producing such light panels today, one has to use slow, serial and expensive methods such as laser machining, mechanical scoring, injection molding or screen printing. Each of these methods have their own issues but the main poin...

2017 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Creating efficient lighting using micro-optics

1 Oct 2017 to 31 Jul 2018

Awarded
£58,565
Total cost £83,664

The 1st generation of LED lights consist of the functional replacement of traditional technologies with LEDs, with little emphasis on the efficiency or the aesthetics. Optrical Limited is challenging this status quo by developing custom, low-cost, micro-optic ‘light management’ solutions to tailor the illumination profile of LED panels and tube lights by ...

2017 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

Efficient LED/ OLED lighting using innovative micro-optics

1 May 2017 to 30 Apr 2018

Awarded
£68,225
Total cost £97,464

The 1st generation of LED lights consist of the functional replacement of traditional technologies with LEDs, with little emphasis on the efficiency or even the aesthetics. As a consequent the optical output of LED illumination systems (panels in particular), is 'whatever it is' and no attempt is made to control the beam profile in any commerical LED/ OLE...
