OLED/OPV 40th Anniversary International Symposium
(November 17–20, 2026, Guangzhou, China)
Since the mid-1980s, the fields of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have witnessed a series of landmark technological breakthroughs. From Professor Ching W. Tang’s report of anorganic photovoltaic device based on a bilayer heterojunction structure in 1986 to the major breakthrough in modern bilayer organic electroluminescent devices in 1987, these developments marked the beginning of a new chapter in the advancement of modern organic optoelectronic devices. Over the past four decades, significant progress has been made in both OLEDs and OPVs, spanning fundamental scientific research, industrial technological innovation, advances in organic functional materials, and the development of novel optoelectronic devices. These achievements have profoundly influenced the evolution of advanced display and photovoltaic technologies.
At this important historical milestone, the OLED/OPV 40th Anniversary International Symposium will be held from November 17 to 20, 2026, at South China University of Technology (SCUT) in Guangzhou, China. Organized by the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices at SCUT, the symposium continues the academic tradition of the International Symposium Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of OLEDs, initiated by Professor Ching W. Tang and Professor Yong Cao. It aims to commemorate the significant milestones in the development of OLEDs and OPVs and to review the representative achievements and technological evolution of these fields over the past four decades.
The symposium will be chaired by Professor Yuguang Ma, Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor at SCUT, and Director of the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices, with Professor Fei Huang and Professor Shijian Su serving as Co-Chairs. The symposium will bring together distinguished experts and scholars from leading universities and research institutions worldwide, as well as representatives from industry. Participants will engage in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge research advances, key materials and device technologies, and industrial applications, while sharing the latest scientific achievements and technological innovations.
OLED/OPV四十周年国际学术研讨会
（2026年11月17-20日，中国广州）
自20世纪80年代中期以来，有机发光二极管（OLED）与有机光伏（OPV）领域迎来了具有里程碑意义的技术突破。从1986年邓青云教授报道具有双层异质结结构的有机光伏器件，到1987年现代双层有机电致发光器件取得重要突破，两个领域逐步开启了现代有机光电器件发展的新篇章。四十年来，从基础科学研究到产业技术革新，从有机功能材料的持续突破到新型光电器件的蓬勃发展，OLED与OPV领域不断取得重要进展，深刻影响着新型显示与光伏能源技术的发展。
在这一重要历史节点，由华南理工大学发光材料与器件全国重点实验室主办的 OLED/OPV 40th Anniversary International Symposium（OLED/OPV四十周年国际学术研讨会）将于2026年11月17日至20日在中国广州华南理工大学举行。本次会议延续此前由邓青云教授和曹镛教授发起的“OLED 30周年国际学术研讨会”的学术传统，旨在纪念OLED与OPV领域的重要发展历程，回顾四十年来的代表性成果与技术演进。
本次会议由中国科学院院士、华南理工大学教授、发光材料与器件全国重点实验室主任马於光担任大会主席，黄飞教授、苏仕健教授担任共同主席。会议邀请来自全球知名高校、科研机构及企业的专家学者和产业界代表参会，围绕前沿研究进展、关键材料与器件技术及产业应用等开展深入交流，分享最新科研成果与技术创新进展。
