It mean "organic, large area eletronic and photonic". The abbreviation OLAE as used in the Work Programme 2011/12 should be understood to also cover organic photonics technologies such as OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) or OPVs (Organic Photovoltaics). It also includes smart textiles based on conformable and stretchable electronics.
Organic and Large Area Electronics is addressed in the ICT work programme 2011/12 (p.52 & 88) under the following challenges/objectives:
> Challenge 3: Alternative Paths to Components and Systems
Objective ICT-2011.3.6 Flexible, Organic and Large Area Electronics and Photonics
The envisaged target outcomes are:
a) OLAE technology and components
b) OLAE systems and applications
> Challenge 7: ICT for the Enterprise and Manufacturing
Objective FoF-ICT-2011.7.2 Manufacturing solutions for new ICT products
